According to our television expert
With the TCL QLED 65C731 (2022) television and the TCL TS9030 soundbar, you'll have a home cinema experience. Thanks to the 4K UHD resolution, you can watch sharp content. Details on the skin of animals in a nature documentary stand out even more because of this. The television displays a high brightness and large color gamut thanks to the quantum dot layer. The color gamut is even larger in combination with the 10-bit panel. This allows you to distinguish various color tones in the mountain landscape, and a starry sky looks extra bright. The refresh rate of 100Hz ensures images are displayed smoothly. This comes out best during action scenes with a lot of movement or during fast sports games. On the Google TV smart platform, you can easily navigate through your favorite apps like Netflix and Disney+. Thanks to Google Assistant, you can navigate through the smart platform using voice commands. And, you can easily stream content from your Apple device to the TV via AirPlay.
With the TCL TS9030, you can enjoy surround sound without rear speakers. This soundbar has Dolby Atmos, which sends the sound to your listening position via the ceiling. That way, you can enjoy movies and series even more. With the included remote, you can select various sound modes. Each mode has a different characteristic, which allows the sound to adjust to what you're watching or listening to. Thanks to the included subwoofer, you can listen to the deepest bass in addition to the clear sound of the soundbar. You can connect the subwoofer wirelessly to the soundbar, so you won't have a cable going through your living room.

Because it is a not very well-known brand (and Chinese) it was bought with some doubt, but really very happy with it. The image is super clear and can adapt itself to the environment. Despite the size (75 inches), the image remains super sharp right up to the edges. My biggest doubt was in the 'viewing angle quality' because this is actually the only thing that is 'less' when you compare it with the high-end (expensive) Samsung models, but even if you are completely skewed, you can still watch TV perfectly and it does little or nothing to the quality of colors and (especially) sharpness. I would therefore definitely recommend this TV because in my opinion the price/quality ratio is completely in favor of the person who buys this TV!

Excellent combination of good picture, good sound and nice smart functions (Google TV).
First bought a budget 55 inch 4K TV at a well-known supermarket. Fine image as long as it doesn't move a lot, but jerky with moving images. So it went back and read me well and read a lot of reviews. We have a very bright room, so a high brightness and contrast is important, which is one of the reasons why we opted not for OLED but for the QLED/Mini LED technology. Compared to other TVs, this TCL has the advantage of a built-in Onkyo 2.1 sound system with subwoofer, and you can hear it. Great sound, not exaggerated, just nicely balanced (Preset Music).
The image is fine, very beautiful, not only in 4K but also in HD. I actually went for the TCL TV 55C825, but then I saw the second chance for the C831; only a few bucks more expensive, but twice as many local dimming zones.
Google TV is very nice (I'm an Android enthusiast), and there are many options to adjust the image to your own liking, including the techniques for noise reduction, smooth movement, etc. that can be adjusted in 10 steps to your own preference.
The build quality is fine: the device feels sturdy, and the edge on the side is a chic dark anthracite. The connections are on the side so that the TV can fit tightly against the wall (however, it is not an OLED TV that is extremely thin, it is 5 cm thick at the bottom, the subwoofer has to stay somewhere.
In short, at least as good as Samsung, but slightly cheaper and with Google TV . Very happy with it.

Top image with a room with lots of daylight for this price. Design and sound are right for the price.
