Discover the TCL C89B, the QD Mini-LED television ideal for following all of this summer’s sports competitions

On the eve of the major sporting events of the year, TCL is banking on one of the best assets in its catalog with its Premium QD Mini-LED C89B television. With excellent value for money, the TCL C89B has everything you need, and even more, to offer sports enthusiasts, movie buffs, and video game fans a high-quality experience.

While in France we are preparing to experience the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, in particular on television thanks to two public service channels which will, for the very first time in history, broadcast the different competitions in 4K UHD at 50 images /s (fps) for those who will not be able to go there, football aficionados will also be spoiled, with the kick-off of EURO 2024 approaching.

Television manufacturers are having a field day for these occasions, as is the case with TCL. A precursor in Mini-LED technology, the Chinese manufacturer has launched its sixth generation of this backlighting, with further improved contrast and brightness, a greater number of backlighting zones with fine control of the diodes, but also colors as close as possible to reality and video treatments that honor the content, both sports and cinematographic.

How does the TCL C89B Premium QD Mini-LED TV manage to reach a new level?

Available from Boulanger, Darty, Fnac and Son-Vidéo from €1,399 (in 65-inch – 165 cm version), the TCL C89B redefines what we can expect from a television in a price range that remains accessible. The brand’s engineers have continued to develop the Mini-LED backlighting system which has made TCL successful for several years now, after being the first manufacturer to put this technology on the market. Having a comfortable lead over its competitors, TCL has developed the sixth generation of this technology, called OD5.

This name OD5 was of course not chosen at random, it actually designates the distance which separates the LCD panel from the backlighting system, i.e. just 5 mm. Apart from this data which implies the reduction in the overall thickness of the television, as well as improved luminous efficiency (which is particularly good for contrast), TCL has above all multiplied the backlighting zones of its new television compared to the one to which he succeeds. Thus, the number of zones starts at 1,344 for the 65-inch (165 cm) reference, and goes up to 2,160 for the 98-inch (249 cm) model, just that.

The multiplication of zones, associated with fine control of brightness and a reduced optical distance, allows TCL to reach a new level by offering a more qualitative image than ever in this price range. All the technologies present with this Premium QD Mini-LED television result in a strikingly dynamic image, more contrasted and brighter, with details that stand out better in the darkest areas as well as in the bright areas (unlike the OLED technology), and an absence of blooming (halo effect around bright objects on a dark background).

In addition, QLED Pro technology is added to the list, in addition to the new features brought to the backlight. TCL has also redoubled its efforts on the issue of colors and colorimetric coverage, by developing a new method of encapsulating nanocrystals with a new alloy. The result is unmistakable, the TCL C89B is capable of displaying even more intense colors, in all situations. This means that the colors do not lose their vibrancy when the television broadcasts very bright images.

TCL C89B: a series of very well-equipped televisions, at a great price

Available in four references of 65, 75, 85 and 98 inches (165 to 249 cm diagonal), the TCL C89B has the advantage of offering perfectly equipped televisions, on large diagonals, all at prices that have something to offer. surprising given the technologies in place. Because if there is something else to mention, besides the significant deployment of technologies to improve the image, TCL has also equipped its C89B series with the best features of the moment.

We thus benefit from a panel capable of going up to 144 Hz with the Motion Clarity Pro function, which is ideal for gaming, features linked to Game Master Pro 3.0 (HDMI 2.1, VRR, ALLM, Game Accelerator up to 240 Hz, Game Bar, Dolby Vision Gaming), the most complete operating system on the market with Google TV, or even support for the main HDR formats (HDR10, HDR10+, HDR HLG, Dolby Vision IQ). Gamers, movie buffs and athletes will find what they’re looking for, in particular thanks to the AiPQ Pro processor and its video processing, resulting for example in exemplary fluidity for consuming sports content such as football.

Finally, TCL has not overlooked an audio system worthy of the name. We benefit from a well-calibrated sound experience thanks to the presence of an Onkyo system, in 2.2.2 ch on the 85 and 98 inch references and 2.1.2 ch on those of 65 and 75 inches. The speakers and subwoofer thus offer interesting spatialization, with Dolby Atmos support, with sound good enough to enjoy our favorite series, films and sporting events.
