Overall rating

TCL P755 stands out primarily due to the Google TV system, which makes daily use of the television easier. It is user-friendly, operates smoothly, and provides access to numerous applications, while personalized recommendations help quickly find something to watch. Support for AirPlay and Windows Miracast allows for easy screen mirroring from other devices. All of this makes the television a great option as a home entertainment centre. Regarding picture quality, P755 offers solid performance for its price. Dolby Vision makes HDR content look better – colours are vibrant, and contrast is sharper. The wide colour gamut ensures that the picture is saturated and natural, which is particularly noticeable when watching movies. Additionally, the television has a high native contrast, which distinguishes it in this price range. For gamers, the P755 can also be an interesting option. Low input lag allows for smooth gameplay, and games run responsively. Of course, the 60 Hz panel does not offer perfect fluidity, and the HGiG feature does not work flawlessly, but for occasional gaming, this model is sufficient. However, it is not without flaws. Low brightness means that the picture in bright rooms may be less readable, and the viewing angles are quite average. Dithering may also pose a problem, causing artifacts in darker scenes, especially if we use the television as a monitor – fonts on the screen are less readable. TCL P755 is a good choice for those seeking an affordable television with features. Dolby Vision, a wide colour gamut, and low input lag are the strong points of this model. Although brightness and viewing angles could be better, it offers a lot for the price and is well-suited for everyday viewing or occasional gaming.

Visibility of details in the lights:

TCL P755, equipped with a VA panel, offers very high contrast, which translates to deeper blacks and better detail reproduction in darker scenes compared to IPS/ADS panels. The panel in this model has an exceptionally high native contrast. In movie mode, contrast is a strong point of the television, but the lack of local dimming technology means that blacks are not perfectly deep. They often take on shades of navy, which can be particularly noticeable in dark movie scenes. During testing on the film Sicario 2 , some flaws were also noted in the form of uneven backlighting, which can distract from important details in the blacks, reducing overall immersion in the scenes. However, it's important to remember that this comment pertains to the unit we tested; nevertheless, it's worth keeping in mind that similar shortcomings may occur in another unit.

TCL P755 provides average HDR effect quality. The maximum brightness of the TV is slightly below 300 nits. Such brightness limits the intensity of bright areas in HDR content. In practice, this means that bright elements may not be sufficiently pronounced, affecting the overall impression of contrast. However, the TV offers wide coverage of the DCI P3 colour gamut, reaching about 93%. As a result, colours are vibrant and saturated, significantly improving colour reproduction quality in HDR content. Despite the limited brightness, the wide colour range allows for richer and more realistic shades.

Scene from the movie “Pan” (about 2800 nits)

Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)

The device surprises with positive results in our demanding HDR tests, especially after calibration. The scene from the movie Mr, despite the limited brightness has some glaring issues, nonetheless presents quite well in terms of tonal quality. The scene from Billy Lynn also shows solid picture quality. The television has no issues displaying details in bright areas of the image. Although it lacks the full HDR effect due to the low display brightness, details and colours are well represented here. A key element here is the effectively implemented dynamic tone mapping. This feature, although not present in every model, manages luminance effectively and enhances HDR effect reproduction.

HDR luminance chart:

TCL P755 supports a wide range of HDR formats, including HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. The picture quality in these formats varies due to different metadata. In the case of static HDR10, the tested film still featuring horses shows that the television struggles to maintain detail in bright areas. Bright parts of the image are heavily illuminated, leading to a loss of detail and an overall deterioration in picture quality. A significant improvement occurs when using dynamic metadata, such as Dolby Vision. In this case, the horses are clearly visible, and the overall scene leaves a positive impression. Dolby Vision effectively manages brightness and contrast, allowing for better detail reproduction and enhancing the overall visual experience. HDR10+, which also uses dynamic metadata, can offer similar benefits to Dolby Vision, but the details in this regard may vary depending on the content. Overall, the television supports all the listed HDR formats, providing broad compatibility with various content sources.

Smoothness of tonal transitions

7.5/10

In the case of high-quality content, TCL P755 offers decent fluidity of tonal transitions. Although subtle imperfections can be noticed in the blending of colours, especially in more complicated gradients, these are typical for TVs in this price range. During tests in movie scenes, these issues were noticeable at certain moments; however, in most cases, one really has to take a close look to spot these flaws. For the average user, they shouldn't pose a significant problem in everyday use.

Review TCL P755 Smoothness of tonal transitions

Image scaling and smoothness of tonal transitions

5.5/10

Smooth transition function

Image without overscan on the SD signal

The “Gradual Smoothing” function works quite well, effectively eliminating visible boundaries between different shades of the same colour. Thanks to it, tonal transitions are smoother. Unfortunately, this function is not available in HDR mode, which can affect the quality of tonal gradation in higher dynamic range materials.

In the case of image scaling, the television does not perform its best. There are noticeable edge cut-offs, particularly evident on the model's figure and the branches of trees. The blurring of details in these areas affects the overall sharpness of the image. This may be noticeable when watching content in a lower resolution. Additionally, SD quality image is displayed with slight cropping at the top as well as the bottom.

Blur and motion smoothness

4.3/10

Maximum refresh rate of the panel: 60Hz

Film motion smoothing option: Yes

Blur reduction option: No

BFI function 60Hz: No

BFI function 120Hz: No

The television offers decent, though not perfect, results in terms of motion smoothness. In the case of movies, the television has a "Flicker Reduction" feature that allows for adjustment of motion smoothness on a scale from 1 to 10. With this option, we can tailor the image appearance to cinema or more theatrical preferences (with lower or higher speed).

Blur (native resolution, maximum refresh rate):

In the case of sports and games, the television performs worse. The 60 Hz panel limits its capabilities in reproducing motion in more dynamic content. The lack of BFI (Black Frame Insertion) technology does not allow for better results, although on a 60 Hz panel it would cause slight flicker, so we don't lose much. In tests with fast-moving content, such as the UFO image, blurring is noticeable, which is typical for such a frequency. Nevertheless, the television behind our UFO character does not show significant trailing, as the response time of the panel is decent for a device in this price range.

Dolby Vision Game Mode: Yes
Correct implementation of HGIG: No
1080p@120Hz: No
1440p@120Hz: No
4K@120Hz: No
Game bar: Yes

The device offers a range of features useful for gamers, such as ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), Dolby Vision for gamers, and Game Bar. ALLM automatically switches the TV to low latency mode, significantly improving responsiveness to commands from the controller and minimising input lag. VRR synchronises the screen refresh rate with the number of frames generated by the console, eliminating the tearing effect and providing smoother gameplay. Dolby Vision for gamers enhances picture quality by offering better colour and contrast reproduction in games that support this format. The Game Bar feature allows quick access to game settings and monitoring of key parameters such as response time.

However, the TV has some limitations. The 60 Hz panel prevents the display of signals with higher refresh rates at different resolutions, which may affect the fluidity of the image in dynamic games. Additionally, the lack of support for G-Sync technology for PC may impact the quality of gameplay on a computer. It is also worth noting that the HGiG mode, which aims to improve image quality in HDR games, does not work correctly on this model, negatively affecting the visual experience in HDR-supported games.

Input lag

10/10

P755 offers exceptionally low input lag, which is a significant advantage for gamers. In every mode, whether SDR, HDR, or Dolby Vision, the television achieves impressive results. In every resolution, the input lag is only 11 ms, well done! Even in Dolby mode, the television maintains the same low level of latency. With these achievements, the television provides remarkable responsiveness and excellent gaming experience, with no noticeable delays.

Matrix subpixel arrangement: BGR

Max refresh rate: 60Hz

G-Sync: No

When connecting the TCL P755 to a computer, the first thing you might notice is the support for chroma 4:4:4, which ensures accurate colour reproduction in details, especially when working with text and graphics. Unfortunately, despite this support, the readability of fonts leaves much to be desired, particularly in the case of dark text and shapes on a dark background. This issue arises from limited resolution in darker shades, where the applied dithering makes the pixels resemble those known from Full HD. This is especially noticeable with small fonts, making comfortable office work on a large screen difficult. The upside, however, is the very low input lag of 12 ms, which makes the television suitable for occasional gaming on the computer, especially in dynamic games. Ultimately, while the TCL P755 may be a decent choice for PC gaming, it may disappoint users expecting high text readability.

Viewing angles

3.2/10

Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 76%

P755, equipped with a VA panel, offers average viewing angles. In practice, this means that the brightness of the image significantly drops when viewing the screen at an angle. VA panels, while providing better contrast and deeper blacks compared to IPS panels, have poorer characteristics in terms of viewing angles. IPS panels, known for their wider viewing angles, offer a more stable image from various angles, but usually at the cost of slightly lower contrast and black depth. Although the VA panel contributes to better contrast, the decrease in brightness at an angle is noticeable and can affect viewing comfort in larger groups or in different positions in the room.

TV efficiency during daytime

3.8/10

Matrix coating: Satin

Reflection suppression: Słabe

Black levels during daytime: Good

The TV, equipped with a satin finish, performs well in moderately lit daytime conditions. Its brightness in SDR mode is about 290 nits, which is an average value. Unfortunately, the television has poor reflection handling, meaning that light reflections may be noticeable, especially in bright environments. Nevertheless, the TV offers good black levels during the day, due to the VA panel used, which handles contrast better than IPS panels. In practice, this means that despite the reflection issues, the TV can deliver a satisfactory picture in daytime conditions, maintaining a decent level of black and contrast.
