By combining an original design with careful screen definition, Thomson could have offered its new generation of televisions at an exorbitant price. However, the manufacturer has found the perfect balance to avoid blowing up the bill.
Marked by international sports competitions, summer 2024 is a good time to change your television. But with the preparation for summer vacations, the budget allocated to this type of device is often reduced.
No need to turn to low-end TVs though. Manufacturers like Thomson offer televisions with a very advantageous quality-price ratio. The brand proves this with its new QLED QG5C14 and QLED Plus QG6C14 ranges. Televisions which, not content with offering a beautiful image, benefit from an original design and promotion.
A design designed above all to be practical
Recognized for the value for money of its televisions, Thomson does not forget to take care of their design. That of the new Thomson QLED QG5C14 or QLED Plus QG6C14 TVs shows care, particularly in the finesse of the screen borders, but also in the handling.
Whatever the model, Thomson televisions rely on a rotating central stand. Capable of supporting all panels, regardless of their size, this stand allows you to obtain the best viewing angle, while facilitating the installation of the television in a room.
Daily use is also improved by the presence of backlighting on the remote control. What’s more, numerous buttons allow you to instantly access your favorite streaming service like Netflix or YouTube.
The other point in common between these two ranges of televisions concerns connectivity. Thomson has been particularly generous in terms of sockets, since it each includes four HDMI ports (including two 2.1), three USB-A ports, an Ethernet socket, an optical output, two antenna sockets and a jack port. Better still, one of the HDMI sockets is eARC compatible, which allows you to fully exploit the potential of a soundbar.
Thomson QLED Plus QG6C14: direct sound
Among Thomson’s new televisions, those in the QLED Plus QG6C14 range stand out for the arrangement of their 20-watt speakers. These slide onto the front of the device to stream sound directly to the viewer’s ear. Clearer and less muffled sound than on a traditional TV. By adding to this compatibility with Dolby Atmos, we obtain an immersive and astonishing soundscape.
The main advantage of a television, the quality of the image is not left out here. Available in 43, 50 and 55 inches, the Thomson QLED Plus QG6C14 easily displays a magnificent Ultra HD image. It must be said that it is based on a QLED panel, capable of limiting the effects of blooming, while ensuring vivid colors and precise contrasts. Its compatibility with HDR Dolby Vision video standards ensures the viewer pleasant viewing, with realistic lighting effects.
All that remains is navigation. No worries on this side since Thomson had the good idea of equipping its QLED Plus QG6C14 televisions with the Google TV system. In addition to providing access to the entire Play Store application catalog, this OS allows you to take advantage of Google’s voice assistant to control the television remotely. Perfect for launching a program in an instant when you’re busy elsewhere.
In its 43-inch version, the Thomson QLED Plus QG6C14 has a price of 549 euros. That said, thanks to an ODR of 50 euros, the final bill drops to 499 euros.
For the 50-inch version, you will have to pay 549 euros, while the 55-inch version is offered at 599 euros. Always taking into account the refund offer put in place.
Thomson QLED QG5C14: QLED at a low price
More classic in its aesthetic, but no less neat than the brand’s other televisions, the Thomson QLED QG5C14 represents the perfect quality-price ratio for movie buffs who don’t want to dip into their savings.
With a wide choice of sizes available, from 43 to 85 inches, this television gives pride of place to the image displayed thanks to ultra-thin borders on four sides and 4K definition. Here again we find Direct LED backlighting which allows the QLED screen to reduce the effects of blooming.
Aficionados of films and series will rejoice in the presence of compatibility with the HDR Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos standards. Especially since thanks to Google TV, they will be able to access all their favorite streaming applications in just a few clicks.
The ultimate strong point of this generation of televisions is its price. The 43-inch version is therefore offered at 449 euros at Boulanger.
The famous brand also sells the 55-inch Thomson QLED QG5C14 for 549 euros, while the 65-inch version costs 799 euros. Proof if any were needed that it is possible to offer a good 4K television under the 1,000 euro mark.
