Some TV manufacturers are now offering more models in their full TV lineup, when it comes to features and costs, there are small distances between them, and it can confuse potential things for TV buyers. Naturally, if an entry level TV has a feature -like feature list like a step -by -step model, this is a better matter, okay? Well, this is not always happening.
I recently tested the TV -led TV from TCL, 2025 UK, some of the best TV makers. The models are from Entry Level C6 and the middle range C7, which received 4 out of 5 stars in my TCLC7 review. When I first saw the 2025C series mini -leads, the C7K was sweet in terms of value, providing the best picture quality and features for the price.
Since I had these two TVs available, I decided to compare them with them to see if the additional cost of C7K was worth it.
With regard to the price, the price of 55 inch C6K is £ 599, and the price of 55 inch C7K is £ 849. However, I compared the 55 -inch C6K to 65 -inch C7K for my test. If you are in the US, the nearest direct model is TCL QM6K vs TCL QM7K.
Shine and color
Both of them use TV mini -led backlights, which means you are shining higher than standard LED TV. But, the important thing is that there are often differences between the surface of the admission and the medium -led sperm -led model.
When I measured the brightness of the two TVs (10 % on white HDR window in filmmaker mode), C6K targeted 705 nits, while C7K targeted 1,790 nuts – a major difference. But how did he translate into the real world view?
The first area of the note was color, where the best mini -led TVs are often better. 4K Blu -ray is watching EastBoth TV Dolby Vision Dark (in which I found out the more accurate image preset than the Dolby Vision IQ), showed the advantage of the additional shine hit of the C7.
I Wizard and I The scene, the skin of the alphaba, the pink flowers, the blue walls and even the beige walls, looked more nest and more dynamic on the C7K. C6K didn’t look bad, but it didn’t even have the same level of appreciation that I expect to see in a movie EastAdd more color depth with C7K.
Even at the height of the scene where Alfaba runs in the wheat field, the field was more effective on the yellow and the sun C7K. It showed that peak brightness, which is usually higher in the TV -led TV than the entry level model, is an important factor for supplying more colors.
Contrast and dark surface
Backlight TVs, such as semen -led models, use local dimming to increase the contradiction between the screen and the dark areas. The more local fog zones on a TV, the more clearly it can dim and illuminate the sections of the screen, which are being shown.
The 55 -inch C6K has a 65 -inch C7K’s 1,008 local dimming zone compared to 180 local dumbing zones. A screen -shaped TV affects the number of local dim zones, but the 55 -inch model of the C7K still has 720 zones, so there may be a significant difference in the same size model.
4K Blu -ray is watching nosfratuOnce again in Dolby Vision Dark, the opposite scenes, such as the black room, look only bright through the torch, the fireplace, or the moon, looks more rich and more accurate on C7K. The light areas were bright and dark heads were deep, which produces a very dynamic and textured image.
Was also true in the same BatmanWith a dark atmosphere on C7K, better with a flash bulb of the wall lamps and wall lamps. Even the small details, such as the light batsman’s cap, reflect, on the contrary, the opposite appears, which has a greater difference between light and dark colors.
The high number of C7K also allowed the number of local dimming zones to show it better details of the shadow. I nosfratuAs Hitler walked towards the car for the night and counting, C7K showed his face more and more in the dark, while C6K crushed the surface.
Black and white – and brown color
Things became even more interesting when watching black and white films. See black and white scenes from Open HymerC7K still showed maximum contradiction between deep calls and white highlights, and in the middle there was a wide range of brown heads.
However, I noted that C6K has better uniformity of screen than C7 (the ability to display the same color equally in large areas of the screen). It was a problem that I noted as a problem in my C7K review, and he preferred C6K while looking at black and white content.
Conclusion
To summarize, comparing these two TVs as well proves that more payment is paid. Yes, C6K may have the upper hand with black and white images, but the C7K also similarly similar to color, the contrary, the black surface and the detail, in which the C6K looks soft in the test simultaneously.
This is not to say that C6K is a bad TV. At its price, IT, he did a solid work with every film on which I threw it on it, and it was a fine TV to see comfortable. But this is an example where, in view of the difference of small £ 250 in the cost of 55 -inch models, it is able to invest in more premium options.
