<\/a><\/p>\nThe TCL 65C645 TV only needs to be placed on its feet, making assembly a quick and easy task.\u00a0The legs lift the TV and there is enough space underneath to fit the soundbar underneath.\u00a0The legs are adjustable in width, they can be screwed closer to the middle or to the edges of the case.\u00a0This is convenient if you have narrow TV furniture.<\/p>\n
The plastic legs of the 65C645 TV have retained their V-shape, but now they are not round in cross section, but rectangular.\u00a0Like\u00a0the TCL C635\u00a0, the new TV retains its bezel-less design.\u00a0There are natural borders on the panel itself (about 6 mm wide), but they do not detract from the image.\u00a0This will be especially appreciated by buyers choosing a large diagonal model.<\/p>\n
The wider lower bezel now only houses the TCL logo.\u00a0The Onkyo inscription has sunk into oblivion.\u00a0Since this is an LCD TV, it is not as thin as OLED.\u00a0At its thickest point, it is 8 cm deep, although in the area of \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bthe metal casing of the panel it does not exceed 4.5 cm. As is the case with other TCL TV series, we see exceptionally high quality workmanship without serious flaws.<\/p>\n
TV TCL C645, if necessary, is easy to hang on the wall.\u00a0To do this, it has holes compatible with a VESA 300 x 300 type bracket. At the same time, the side-facing switching connectors, as well as the power connector, do not interfere with the close approach of the TV to the wall.\u00a0The remote control has been changed.\u00a0There are now not two, but one – but with added numeric buttons.<\/p>\n
Image quality<\/h3>\n
The C645 TV has a VA (Vertical Alignment) LCD panel with Direct LED backlighting and a quantum dot color display.\u00a0The result is a QLED model capable of displaying Ultra HD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels.\u00a0VA matrices have a high native contrast, unlike\u00a0IPS matrices\u00a0.\u00a0In the case of the C645, this is approximately 5000:1. Unlike the C745 and C845, our TV does not have local dimming.<\/p>\n
The colors of the TCL 65C645 model are not as bright as, for example, on\u00a0the TCL 65C835\u00a0.\u00a0But the image produced by the C645 makes a good impression.\u00a0Content scaling up to 4K thanks to the AiPQ Engine 3.0 processor is also on top.\u00a0Motion compensation is somewhat weaker than in the\u00a0C735\u00a0series , although it is quite accurate for the C645 series.\u00a0Only on the contours of fast moving objects can you notice a very small ghosting.<\/p>\n
The 65 C645 TV has different visual modes: Dynamic, Standard, HDR Enhancement, Sports, Movie and Game.\u00a0In terms of color accuracy, Cinema mode continues to deliver the best results.\u00a0With SDR material we get an average delta E of 3.06, which is slightly above the threshold of 3, beyond which the human eye can no longer distinguish the reference color from the color presented on the screen.<\/p>\n
The average color temperature is about 6865 K, which is slightly lower than the desired value of 6500 K. The average gamma value has been increased to 2.45.\u00a0On a gray scale, the curve is very stable.\u00a0When it comes to HDR content, keep in mind that the TV supports HLG, HDR10, as well as HDR10+ and Dolby Vision dynamic modes.<\/p>\n
But the HDR processing of the TCL C645 TV is much weaker than that of older brothers.\u00a0This is because it’s not HDR 1000 certified and only has a peak brightness of 450 nits.\u00a0In terms of measurements, Cinema mode still produces the best results with HDR Pro.\u00a0The average dE is 1.96, which is well below 3. I.e.\u00a0factory calibration is very adequate.<\/p>\n
Model TCL C645, according to company representatives, provides an image output delay of 6 ms, which is extremely minimal and even one of the lowest on the market.\u00a0The TV supports video game optimization technologies such as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode).\u00a0There is support for AMD FreeSync.<\/p>\n The panel refresh rate is 60Hz, but the Game Accelerator is 120Hz for gaming.\u00a0Note that this is a DLG (Dual Gateway) mode where even and odd frame sinks are output with a slight time shift, giving the illusion of a 120Hz refresh rate.\u00a0In this case, the resolution of the game is automatically converted to 1080p.\u00a0The C645 includes the now traditional Game Bar, displayed in Game Master mode.<\/p>\n The icing on the cake is the Google TV operating system.\u00a0The C645 models use the same version 11.\u00a0In full screen mode, the home page offers recommendations based on previous views.\u00a0It then offers several options for viewing media.\u00a0There is a section dedicated to applications that can be installed on the TV.<\/p>\n You can change the location of app tiles.\u00a0There is a search engine at the top of the main interface, as well as content organized by topic: movies, series, apps, and library.\u00a0Moreover, the latter displays a list of content purchased on the Google platform.\u00a0In addition to the home page, the gear button on the remote control allows you to access the menu.<\/p>\n There you can create a Google account, as well as access options, view the time, select one of the TV recordings or enter the picture mode settings.\u00a0If necessary, notifications can also be found there.\u00a0Access to everything is simplified as much as possible.\u00a0There is no need to navigate endless submenus.\u00a0The interface is responsive and the number of Android apps is huge.<\/p>\n Several applications are preinstalled: TCL Channel, Internet browser, health application, etc. There is a TCL Home interface.\u00a0The latter displays a menu in the upper right corner from which you can access the image gallery stored in the TV’s memory, the media player and the Safety Guard software.<\/p>\n Voice control no longer surprises anyone.\u00a0But the C645 TV has the ability to voice control without hands, i.e.\u00a0without remote.\u00a0To do this, there is a microphone on the bottom of the case.\u00a0The TV works with Google Assistant, but not with Alexa.\u00a0The built-in Miracast player allows you to wirelessly play the screen of your smartphone or tablet on a large screen.<\/p>\n The TCL C645 audio system is built on two downward-facing speakers with a total power of 20 watts.\u00a0The TV supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS.\u00a0When listening, the overall effect is flat, but with incredibly crisp dialogue.\u00a0Even with virtual effects, the spatial fullness is very small.\u00a0Without a woofer, it is difficult to reproduce meaningful sounds at the lowest frequencies.\u00a0Therefore, to enhance the sound involvement, TCL offers separate soundbars with a subwoofer TCL S642W (2.1ch) and TCL S643W (3.1ch).<\/p>\n The list of ports on the C645 is slightly different from last year’s model.\u00a0There are three HDMI connectors on board (one of them is HDMI 2.1 with\u00a0eARC\u00a0) and one USB 3.0 port.\u00a0Only 75\u2033 and 85\u2033 diagonals are equipped with two USB ports.\u00a0There are also two antenna jacks (region dependent), optical digital audio output, composite AV input (via adapter) and a LAN port.\u00a0You can connect to the Internet via dual-band WiFi.\u00a0There is also Bluetooth 5.0.<\/p>\n TCL C645 is one of the best 65″ budget TVs on the market. The smart features of Google TV are vast and accessible, and the QLED screen offers excellent color reproduction.\u00a0Its HDR performance is limited, but remains among the best in the budget realm.\u00a0If you are looking for one of the best inexpensive options, you have found it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TCL C645 is positioned as the successor to the sensational TCL C635.\u00a0The TV works with Google TV and has some very interesting features that position it in the mid-range.\u00a0The 2023 TCL C645 series uses a QLED LCD panel with Direct LED backlight.\u00a0It is compatible with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision formats to adapt to the content […] More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10402,"featured_media":161250,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[641],"tags":[778],"class_list":["post-161233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-reviews"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10402"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\nGame Mode<\/h3>\n
