TCL 65" CLASS 6-SERIES 4K Ultra HD ROKU SMART LED TV - 65R617-CA
I
have always wanted a fish tank in my office. There’s something so soothing about watching colourful fish swim around without a care in the world. A simpler way to enjoy those tetras and guppies is on the screensaver of a 65-inch 4K Ultra HD TV, such as the TCL 65R617-CA. For 2019, TCL P6-Series offers a new 75-inch version, adding to the previously available 55- and 65-inch variations.
There have been a few modifications to the panel itself, with increased contrast control zones from 72 to 96 on the 55-inch models, upward of 120 on the 65-inch version of the TVs, with the 75-inch edition topping out at 160 contrast control zones. The TV features high dynamic range (HDR) technology with a 120Hz CMI effective refresh rate. What that means is greatly reduced blurring of fast-moving objects . . . like hockey pucks and golf balls.
TCL’s iPQ Engine (the unit that powers the whole system) and HDR Pro Gamma ensure that colours are precise and details remain visible in any environment, from the darkest home The TV features theatre to the high dynamic range (HDR) brightest sunlit technology… living rooms. Of course, the advantage of living in the Lower Mainland of BC is that beautiful raindrops usually block out the big round yellow thing in the sky. An image is only as good as the source, but with Smart 4K Upscaling, the 65R617-CA can actually improve clarity and sharpness of lowerresolution video sources. A unique machine-learning process corrects the errors commonly introduced in less advanced two-dimensional resolution enhancement technologies. TCL incorporates one of my favourite sources, the Roku TV service. Roku TV gives you access to over 500,000 movies, TV episodes, cable box, and even your gaming console with a simple interface.
