The first few generations of 1080p televisions were nothing short of expensive. Even a modestly sized 30” screen could cost nearly a thousand dollars. Over the next decade, resolutions got bigger, screens grew larger, and prices went down. It’s taken a long time for 1080p to stop being special, and start being standard. But unlike 1080p, the switch to 4K is going to happen far more rapidly than you might think.
That’s because 4K televisions are already starting to get cheap. Given matching screen sizes, an increasing number of 4K televisions now have the same cost as their 1080p counterparts only a couple of years ago. While the 4K format is still young, the fact it’s already starting to get inexpensive means it will replace 1080p in only a matter of years, regardless of consumer enthusiasm for 4K content. And the latest line of UHD TVs from TCL is a giant leap in that direction.
TCL级别6系列4K Ultra HD电视
虽然您可能不知道名称，但TCL是世界第三大电视制造商。与他们的新级别6系列，它可能不会长，直到TCL确实成为家喻户晓的名字。这据说6系列可能是今年的最优雅电视台。它有两种尺寸：55“（55 r617）或65”（65R617）。
这并不难想想象为什么TCL选择这些尺寸。由于1080p电视变得便宜，人们开始购买巨型屏幕。现在我们全都习惯了更大的屏幕尺寸。这几天，很多人看着一个40英寸的电视，就像在小方面一样。当你改变到4k时，你不想觉得你正在降级你的屏幕尺寸。
Relative to the size of these panels, the 6-series has a stunningly low price. But it would be a grave mistake to think these are budget-oriented monitors. The TCL Class 6 Series have plenty to offer. From a distinctly sharp image quality to full-fledged smart TV features, this machine has just about everything.
建立和设计
Advertised screen sizes are measured diagonally, which isn’t much help when you’re trying to figure out how much space a TV will take up. TCL’s 55-inch version (55R617) stands at 48.5 x 28.1 x 2.9-inches, not including the stand. Like you’d expect, the 65-inch version (65R617) is about ten inches larger, standing at 57.1 x 32.0 x 3-inches. Adding the stand to either set adds another eight inches of height, and two inches of depth.
One thing to notice about the stand is that it uses a claw-like design, which protrudes each leg forward and backward from the set. This design provides a stable support for panel, but it does have a downside. Because the legs are positioned the edges of the screen, the TV needs to be placed on a surface that’s slightly longer than the length of the full screen. That can be avoided by wall mounting, but for people who don’t intend to mount their television, furniture length may be pushed to its limit.
沿着任一面板的背面，您将找到三个HDMI 2.0A端口，每个都支持HDCP 2.2。还有一个HDMI电弧输入，一个USB端口，一个复合端口，RF插孔，耳机插孔和光学音频。除了标准以太网端口外，这是一个相对普通的各种连接。唯一值得注意的是USB连接的相对较短的供应。
Like the previous version of TCL’s panels, the 6-Series supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 for a fully immersive audio experience. Though the speakers on the panel itself are about average for built-in TV speakers, the native support encourages you to connect the panel to an at-home audio system.
遥控
Typically, the remote control isn’t something you would highlight as a feature for a TV. But the 6-Series remote is far more special than anything you may be used to seeing. To begin with, the remote includes a microphone enabling voice commands. You don’t even have to be able to find your remote, as long as it can hear you. With commands like “launch Netflix” and “switch to Game console”, you may never have to spend much time in physical contact with the remote.
另一个使得这一远程卓越的功能是它使用无线电频率与电视通信。大多数电视使用红外线，这需要与接收电视上的传感器更加有或更少直接连接。这就是为什么大多数遥控器必须直接指出，为什么这个远程使用的射频允许您更自由。
远程自身的物理构建非常简单。播放按钮很大且易于找到，并且按钮是鲜艳的颜色，可以轻松地进行导航。并使用TCL的移动应用程序，可以将自己的移动设备转换为远程，并且它们使用这些设备插入耳机以便收听电视。
Picture Quality
The best feature of the 6 series is its uniquely advanced image quality. It achieves that by helping boost black levels and color contrast, which are the two essential quality markers of a home-theatre. And that’s especially true for content with a high dynamic range. TCL manages to do that by separating their screen into smaller numerous zones, which allow those zones to be brightened or dimmed with a greater degree of precision.
55英寸版本（55R617）中有96个单独的区域，65英寸版本（65R617）中多达120。从技术角度来看，由此产生的12,667：1对比度为300％，在这个价格范围内将找到其他任何东西。这是因为与索尼和三星这样的竞争对手，他们最高的图片质量功能通常是为他们最昂贵的型号保留的。类似的全部阵列调光电视，如索尼X900f.那usually costs thousands.
Moreover, the TLC is capable of a wide color gamut. It uses nano-band phosphor technology to push color accuracy close to the DCI-P3 standard, making it perfect for HDR content. Accordingly, TCL included some new HDR settings in the 6-Series which you can use to adjust your TV for viewing dark scenes in brightly lit areas, or vice versa. Color reproduction is critical to image quality, and the NBP Photon tech allows for far more color space than you’ll see on almost any panel in this price range.
It’s worth noting, whether or not you’ll find the 6-Series a substantial improvement over your currently TV mostly depends on what you watch. Many of the features that make the 6-Series offer such a great picture quality is better dimming, but better dimming isn’t always going to improve the quality of your picture. The lighting conditions in your room, the content you’re watching, and the settings you select all have an impact on performance. Some content can come out looking much better, some content can come out looking the same as what you’re used to seeing.
智能电视功能
4K电视正在变得流行，但这可能不是因为消费者对更高的决议进行瘙痒。越来越多的人获得4克电视的原因可能是因为他们提供的普通电视超过常用的电视。现代4K电视带有各种高级智能电视特色，如用于流媒体服务的本机支持，这些功能是驾驶采用的功能多。
And when it comes to smart features, TCL is poised to tear its competitors apart. For starters, the 6-Series uses the Roku operating system. Among the various OS used by major brands, it’s easy to say Roku has the best app selection and overall ease of use. It provides a huge content library from the moment you plug in your TV, as well as access to an equally large selection of subscription streaming services like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. And more than a 4K picture, those are the things people tend to care about.
Drawbacks
While the 6-Series sets have some obvious strengths, there are some minor drawbacks to consider. The claw-foot design of the stand can be punishing unless you intend to mount the panel. The panel itself operates on a 60Hz refresh rate, which produces more motion blur than you’ll see with a 120Hz panel. Odds are, you’re already using a 60Hz panel. But if you’re someone who’s adopted a higher resolution panel and found the difference compelling, a 60Hz panel could be a deal breaker.
The relatively limited availability of USB slots is unfortunate, but not as bad as it might seem at first. Roku provides a full range of streaming services, which probably means you won’t need to use a USB slot for some type of streaming service box. The lack of a headphone jack is another small problem, but one that can be remedied by connecting to the set with a jack-laden smartphone or tablet.
Who Should Choose the TCL Class 6 Series?
如果您正在考虑更换旧电视，则6级系列（55R617和65R617）呈现出升级的绝佳机会。由于深对比度和强大的色彩品质，它们是家庭影院的最佳选择，这允许与市场上一些最佳屏幕有利的比较。这是因为6系列提供的功能您通常在此价格范围内没有看到。
如果您正在寻找采用4K的合适的时间，TCL类6系列是大量的人将进入船上。相对于尺寸，这些面板令人惊叹廉价。唯一可能想要持续升级的人唯一的人是竞争游戏玩家。6系列的输入滞后比相对的4K面板更少，这使得休闲游戏强大，但60Hz刷新率确实为严肃的球员设定了一些限制。
作为一个家庭影院的核心,TCL一堂课s-6 Series is an easy choice. Its use of HDR allows you to go beyond the limits of the standard dynamic range, allowing you to literally see more than you can on many 1080p panels. With the right viewing conditions, HDR content gets close to rivaling what’s usually only possible in a theatre. Whether you’ve got high expectations or you’re just looking for an upgrade, the 6-Series can probably deliver for you.
