The TCL brand is constantly improving its Ultra HD television sets and the recently released model the TCL U55C7006 has proven it. We were able to note this with this last reference especially in terms of colors in film mode which are more faithful. Of a good quality , the TCL U55C7006 is almost nothing revolutionary, but the sound quality emitted from its integrated sound bar and its performance deemed correct have boosted its rating.

Less expensive than almost all of its competitors, this entry-level television displays a 4K image through a large HDR-compatible panel and benefits greatly from the offers of Android TV, all incorporated in a minimalist chassis.

TCl u55c7006 - Hardware review

Characteristics

The TCL smart TV is controlled by a 1.1 GHz MediaTek MT5891 quadcore processor. Its 10-bit VA 50 Hz graphic pad (8 bits + FRC) displays an Ultra HD resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 px, capable of decrypting HDR content.

The Android TV system powers the TV with its range of applications (YouTube, Netflix 4K, VLC etc.) and the integrated Google Cast function is used to share content broadcast from your smartphone or tablet directly on the TV screen. The brushed metal frame of U55C7006 gives it appreciable elegance and the back is covered with a simple plastic material.

Memories

The TCL 55C7006 has a 2 GB RAM and a 16 GB storage memory of which a capacity of about 10 GB is necessary to use your applications. Coupled with its processor, this configuration is quite convincing and makes the device work properly. Classic navigations are pleasant and fluid even if a slowness is felt at the start.

Connectivities

The elements of the connectors are grouped on the left side of the back. We have the three HDMI ports (including one ARC compatible) 2.0 HDCP 2.2 compatible, two USB 2.0 / 3.0 ports, an RJ45 socket, an optical digital audio output (SPDIF), a headphone output, the audio / video input / output and conventional and satellite antenna sockets.
The TV is also equipped with a Bluetooth and Wifi module. The interface has been adjusted to be clearer and more responsive, especially for an entry-level classified television.

BONE

The U55C7006 runs on Android TV 6.0 and integrates all popular programs and applications, entertaining like Spotify, Netflix or Deezer or functional like Replay and others. The missing applications are obviously downloadable from the Google Play Store. An update to Android TV 7.0 is available to take advantage of other features and programs, but in our opinion, that is not coming soon.

Interface

The Chinese manufacturer has opted for a design that is both elegant and sober. A lower strip conceals the front speakers. Mounted on two rather imposing feet, the TV seems disproportionate with its support, but it is only an appearance and it is not the most important. The accessories supplied with the purchase include the RC802N1 remote control and its batteries, the user manual and the 1.5m power cord.

Application

The main Android TV applications are already preinstalled on your Smart TV TCL U55C7006 like Netflix, YouTube or Molotov TV, but if you want to download others, just browse the Google Play store and access the library. applications where there are as many applications as programs.
One of the weak points of the model is the absence of the microphone on the remote control and therefore the incompatibility of Google Assistant. All searches are done by typing on the virtual keyboard, which is tedious in the long run.
