TCL makes some of the best value TVs, period. But cheaper seldom equates to better. Is the TCL C805 Mini-LED TV, with Quantum Dot technology, the exception to the rule?

The 55-inch model, on test, sells for around £649. However, it’s available in quite a few other screen sizes too, from 50 to a whopping 98 inches for just £2,500… for nearly 100 inches!
