Overall rating

TCL P755 stands out primarily due to its Google TV system, which simplifies daily use of the television. It is easy to operate, runs smoothly, and provides access to numerous applications, while personalised recommendations help quickly find something to watch. Support for AirPlay and Windows Miracast allows for easy casting from other devices. All of this makes the television a good option as a home entertainment centre. When it comes to picture quality, P755 offers solid performance for its price. Dolby Vision makes HDR content look better – colours are vibrant and contrast sharper. The wide colour gamut results in an image that is rich and natural, which is evident when watching films. Additionally, the television has a high native contrast, which distinguishes it in this price range. For gamers, the P755 could also be an interesting option. Low input lag enables smooth gameplay, and games run responsively. Of course, the 60 Hz panel does not provide ideal fluidity, and the HGiG function does not work perfectly, but for occasional gaming, this model is adequate. However, it does come with some drawbacks. Low brightness means that the image in bright rooms may be less readable, and the viewing angles are quite average. Dithering can also be an issue, causing artefacts in darker scenes, especially when using the television as a monitor – the fonts on the screen are less legible. TCL P755 is a good choice for those looking for an affordable television with features. Dolby Vision, a wide colour gamut, and low input lag are the strengths of this model. Although brightness and viewing angles could be better, it offers a lot at this price and works well 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 representation in darker scenes than in the case of IPS/ADS panels. The panel in this model has an exceptionally high native contrast. In film 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 the test with the film Sicario 2 , certain flaws were also noted in the form of uneven backlighting, which can distract from important details in the blacks, lowering the overall immersion in the scenes. However, it should be remembered that this comment refers to the sample we tested; nonetheless, it is worth bearing in mind that similar shortcomings may occur in other units.

TCL P755 provides average HDR effect quality. The maximum brightness of the television 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, which affects the overall impression of contrast. However, the television offers a wide coverage of the DCI P3 colour gamut, reaching around 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 film Mr, due to limited brightness, has some overexposure; nonetheless, it presents quite well in terms of tonality. The scene from Billy Lynn also shows solid image quality. The television does not have issues displaying details in the bright areas of the image. Although the full effect of HDR is lacking due to the low brightness of the display, details and colours are well reproduced here. A key element is the effectively implemented dynamic tone mapping. This feature, although not present in every model, manages luminance effectively and enhances the reproduction of HDR effects.

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 frame with horses shows that the television has difficulties maintaining detail in bright areas. Bright parts of the image are heavily illuminated, leading to loss of detail and an overall deterioration in picture quality. Significant improvement occurs when using dynamic metadata, such as Dolby Vision. In this case, the horses are clearly visible, and the overall impression of the scene is positive. 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 area may vary depending on the content. Overall, the television supports all the listed HDR formats, providing wide compatibility with various content sources.

Dynamic: Dolby Vision

Smoothness of tonal transitions

7.5/10

In the case of high-quality content, TCL P755 offers decent fluidity in tonal transitions. Although there are slight imperfections in colour blending, especially in more complex gradients, these are typical for televisions in this price range. During testing in filmic scenes, these issues were noticeable at certain moments, but in most cases, one really has to pay close attention to spot these flaws. For the average user, they should not 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 may affect the quality of tonal gradations in higher dynamic range materials.

When it comes to image scaling, the television does not perform at its best. There are noticeable edge cuts, particularly evident on the figure of the model 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. Moreover, SD quality images are displayed with slight cropping at the top as well as the bottom.

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, although not perfect, results in terms of motion fluidity. For films, the television features a “Flicker Reduction” function that allows for motion fluidity adjustment on a scale from 1 to 10. With this option, we can customise the appearance of the image to a cinematic or more theatrical preference (with a slower or faster pace).

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 terms of motion reproduction in more dynamic content. The absence of BFI (Black Frame Insertion) technology does not allow for better results; however, on a 60 Hz panel it would cause slight flickering, so we are not losing much. In tests with fast-moving content, such as images of UFOs, blurring is noticeable, which is typical for such a frequency. Nevertheless, the television behind our UFO buddy does not show significant trailing, as the panel's response time is decent for a device in this price range.

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 television to low latency mode, significantly improving response 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 screen tearing and providing smoother gameplay. Dolby Vision for gamers enhances picture quality, 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 reaction time.

However, the television has certain limitations. The 60 Hz panel prevents the display of higher refresh rate signals at various resolutions, which may affect the smoothness of the image in dynamic games. Additionally, the lack of support for G-Sync technology for PC may impact gameplay quality on a computer. It is also worth noting that the HGiG mode, which aims to improve picture quality in HDR games, does not function correctly in 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 performance. 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. Thanks to these achievements, the television provides remarkable responsiveness and excellent gaming experiences, with no noticeable delays.

Max refresh rate: 60Hz

G-Sync: No

When connecting the TCL P755 to a computer, the first thing you may notice is the support for chroma 4:4:4, which ensures correct 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 with dark text and shapes on a dark background. This issue arises from the limited resolution in darker shades, where the applied dithering makes the pixels resemble those known from Full HD. This is especially visible with small fonts, making comfortable office work on a large screen difficult. However, a positive aspect is the very low input lag of 12 ms, which means that the television performs well for occasional gaming on a computer, particularly in dynamic games. Ultimately, while the TCL P755 may be a decent choice for PC gaming, it may be disappointing for 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 decreases when we view the screen at an angle. VA panels, although they provide better contrast and deeper blacks compared to IPS panels, have poorer properties in terms of viewing angles. IPS panels, known for their wider viewing angles, offer a more stable image from different angles, but usually at the cost of slightly lower contrast and black depth. Although the VA panel contributes to better contrast, the drop in brightness at an angle is noticeable and can affect viewing comfort in larger groups or from 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 around 290 nits, which is an average value. Unfortunately, the television has poor reflection handling, meaning that reflections of light can be noticeable, especially in bright surroundings. Nevertheless, the television offers good black levels during the day, due to the use of a VA panel, which handles contrast better compared to IPS panels. In practice, this means that despite issues with reflections, the television can deliver a satisfying picture in daytime conditions, maintaining a decent level of black and contrast.
