TCL C2

In recent years, there has been a significant decline in TV consumption what with streaming services like Netflix becoming accessible to many through smartphones and high-speed internet connections. Though, at the end of the day, people would still find the idea of sitting back with their feet on the coffee table while enjoying some good ol’ TV viewing extra relaxing. Mix this familiar feeling with smart technologies so impeccably integrated into the television, you won’t ever want to leave home.

DESIGN The TCL C2’s design is very straightforward; no gimmicks, just a neat, flat panel that looks good. While a TV adorned with bells and whistles might gain market traction, many still go after visually uncluttered devices. Simple design means more time to appreciate the TV for what it truly is, which I can get behind. Even experts in the field agree that the C2 is an exemplary piece of tech. It’s a Red Dot Award winner for product design, need we say more?

This 4K UHD TV has a thin, aluminum bezel, making for generous screen real estate. A Harman Kardon speaker strip is beautifully melded below the screen to keep the design seamless. From the side, the C2 offers a slim profile with a slight protrusion towards the bottom to give room for various hardware. There’s not much to behold when you turn the device’s back to face you, save for ports concealed through a removable flap for an uncluttered look.
