Introduction
TCL has a history of making budget-friendly televisions, but in 2022, it's stepping up its game. The company has announced that all of its TVs will be equipped with Google TV starting this year, which means you'll be able to access streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu right on your TV. That's not the only big change in 2022: TCL is also upgrading its tech and adding 144Hz refresh rates across most of its lineups. Here's what you need to know about TCL's new TV and how it could impact your next big purchase!
When it comes to its smart TVs, TCL is growing up in a big way for 2022.
Tech Updates
Sound:
The best sound quality comes from the TV's built-in speakers, which offer really good performance for a flat panel TV. TCL has a dedicated 2.1.2ch system, comprised of two speakers and a subwoofer to provide surround sound audio for your entertainment experience. It includes two front-firing 10W speakers and one 15W subwoofer (also front-facing), all driven by Dolby Audio processing for enhanced bass effects when watching movies or playing games on Netflix or Hulu. This setup is also compatible with Dolby Surround Sound technology in case you want to add some extra channels around your room through separate speakers connected via HDMI cable (available separately).
The Onkyo provides a powerful 7 x 70 watts (3 ohms) of power amplification through its seven channels, all compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X technologies to bring you immersive 3D sound in home theater setup. It also supports the latest High Dynamic Range (HDR) formats like HDR10+
Picture:
The biggest change for the 2022 TCL TV lineup is the introduction of 144Hz VRR: with this non-interlaced display, you can enjoy a fast refresh rate up to 144Hz, which stands for smoother transitions between images. It also refreshes at high speeds so that it doesn't have to constantly draw new frames on the screen when you are playing video games or watching sports. This means less lag time between your input and what's happening on the screen.
Also, TCL joins the fast-growing 144Hz club with its new mode[1] ls. This is a big deal and a significant improvement over 60Hz, which was standard across most TVs until very recently. If you're not familiar with the refresh rate, it's basically how many times per second your TV can update its picture. The higher this number is, the smoother your picture will look when watching fast-moving objects like sports or action movies (whereas lower refresh rates can cause motion blur). It's especially important if you want to enjoy those kinds of videos on your 4K/8K models; soon enough they'll likely be even more popular than they are now!
Dolby Atmos[2] [3] and Quantum Dot are incorporated in the 2022 TCL TV. MEMC motion clarity is also included to make your picture look smoother by reducing motion blur during fast-paced scenes.
The AI technology powering the processor now also has an "AiPQ Engine" that will automatically optimize your picture depending on what you're watching. For example, if you're watching a sports broadcast or playing a video game, it will adjust itself so that the action is crisp and clear.
IMAX Enhanced elevates the quality of any contents on screen by optimizing pixels for a larger display than what's actually being shown on screen—making everything look sharper than before!
Connection:
If you want to connect your TV with a 4K HDR-capable device, TCL 2022 TVs have you covered. The HDMI2.1 port supports 4K HDR at 60Hz, up to 10-bit color depth and a wide color gamut. The HDMI2.1 connection also realizes a feature called dynamic HDR, which is a bit different from HDR10 (the standard used by most modern TVs).
Dynamic HDR means that when you're watching movies or TV shows with most of the soundtracks that weren't mastered in Dolby Vision, you'll still get an enhanced picture without an external box or apps like Dolby Atmos or Vizio CraveTV+.
In 2022, TCL has integrated their TVs with WIFI6, the latest standard of Wi-Fi connectivity, with speeds up to 100 Gbps. TCL is the first TV brand offering WiFi6 on their TVs, and it's exciting because you can use this incredible technology on your TV!
Your TV will be able to connect to the internet at unbelievable speeds—we're talking about wirelessly downloading contents or streaming movies at lightning speed!
If you've ever been frustrated by slow internet while streaming videos on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, then WIFI6 will totally change how you watch TV.
Google TV:
TCL is adding Google TV functionality to their whole line of new TVs, and this is a huge deal. This means you can use your voice to do things on the screen, like Netflix or Hulu. Besides, you'll be able to play games supporting voice commands. The other big new feature is MultiView 2.0, which enables you to watch two different TV shows or movies simultaneously—or watch one while playing a game on the other part of the screen!
The AirPlay2/HomeKit functionality lets you use Apple's AirPlay2 wireless streaming protocol right through your TCL Smart TV! You can even control these devices through Siri when hooked up with an Apple TV box. The Miracast for PC capability basically helps you stream any contents from a computer onto the big screen without an HDMI cable again - perfect if someone wants to show photos they've taken while traveling abroad. No other equipment except for their own laptops (or desktops) are required. Finally, there's AR Fitness, using augmented reality technology to track how many calories have been burned after exercising consistently over time!
Game Master/Cinema Mode:
First up, there's the new Game Master Mode, aiming to shape your own personal theater experience. You can adjust the color temperature and tint, choose among a bunch of preset modes optimized for specific types of contents (such as video games or movies), and even tweak individual settings like contrast and brightness on each input independently. It surely does give you a lot of granular control over how your picture looks in distinct situations.
The new Cinema Mode is a lot more interesting. It's meant for watching movies, and it automatically adjusts the brightness based on the contents you're watching. This means you can have a bright TV in bright rooms, but when you're watching something like Star Wars or The Rise of Skywalker in your dark home theater, the TV will adjust to be less luminous so as not to wash out all that glorious blackness.
