I love 4K. I've been shooting 4K since 2016 and have fully upgraded my whole workflow and gaming setups to 4K in early 2017. The added image definition coming from 4 times 1080p is just amazing. But that's not all; I have to thank HDR too - for bringing more contrast to my scenery without losing any detail at the extreme ends of the color spectrum. That's why when TCL offered to lend me one of their top-end TV's I definitely wanted to check it out. After all, they are the third top TV manufacturer today. And what better way to judge their 55" display than with my own 43" branded TV. So watch our review video embedded above to see how it fares, or read up on more of our conclusions below!
