tcl 55us5800 lcd panel made in china

TCL was the first to introduce LCD TVs with a miniLED backlight in 2019. CSoT’s acquisition of LCD patents from Samsung Display signifies a shift of power in the global TV market, putting TCL at the forefront of LCD TV development.

This also came in conjunction with the rising demand for TCL TVs in the global market, reinforcing the Chinese electronics giant, TCL as a leading player in the TV industry.

TCL has won several honours at the EISA (Expert Imaging and Sound Association) Awards this year for its exemplary commitment to the industry. Among other awards, TCL’s C835 4K Mini LED TV was awarded the “Premium Mini LED TV 2022-2023” and the C735 4K QLED TV was awarded the “Best Buy TV 2022-2023” as a seal of quality for their innovative technologies and stylish design.

TCL has established itself as a promising global TV brand on the up and up that can stay relevant and competitive in the ever-changing market. With this ambitious move by TCL, consumers can expect to see the global TV brand continues to get more dominance and authority in the industry.

First a note about TCL, a manufacturer that few are familiar with in North America. This is a huge company with a $4B panel manufacturing facility in China. They also have a research facility in Silicon Valley and claim to be the third largest manufacturer of TVs in the world.

I can’t honestly say that the picture quality on the 4K UHD version of the TCL Roku TV looks appreciably better than the 1080p version. With good 1080p and 4K sources there is a bit more clarity and cleaner images edges. Picture quality including blacks, contrast, and color is not the standout feature of these TCLs. Black levels suffer turning more bluish black at times. From side angles contrast and color saturation degrade worse than the average LED backlit LCD TV, but less than expected. This begins at around 15 degrees off-center. Motion blur is rarely visible, though judder (side to side jerky motion especially present when a camera pans slowly) is present due to the fact that there is no refresh rate smoothing features present in the TV. Even though TCL states that the TV is 120Hz, it"s actually a 60Hz native panel. Another exception to the specifications is that this is not the full array direct lit backlighting you should compare with top quality and brands. In this case, full array direct lit LED to LCD is just an economical way to produce the TV much like some of the very small inexpensive 32” models we"ve seen from other manufactures. This is evinced by screen uniformity that is weak both on black and solid medium grays. This means that you may see some clouding along the edges or corners when displaying a black or very dark screen. From our experience with LCD TVs, it may become more pronounced over time. With a gray or medium color screen you may see some darker shadows in various areas of the screen. When viewing our stock Fifth Element BluRay we noted some inaccuracy in colors with a red push causing flesh tones to look flushed. Greens are also difficult for the TV to produce accurately. On the positive side, I was impressed with the brightness produced.

All of that said, the picture is just a hair better than acceptably decent is the best way I can put it. It"s certainly not bad and a bit better than we expected. You aren"t spending a lot to get a superior panel or color performance on this TV. That"s not its strong suit. For the price, the picture is actually very good.

The TCL Roku Remote is really a Roku manufactured remote. Roku is good at operation, and I like the speed with which the small simple remote controls everything. The audio/volume buttons are located on the right side of the remote. It"s easy to accidentally press the mute button. The picture and other menu settings are accessed from the asterisk wheel button. Conveniently, there are buttons for Netflix, Amazon instant, Mgo, and rdio on the remote face. There are free Apps for iOS and Android smart phones that even contain a voice controlled search. I did not try the voice search nor the smart phone App. But just know that it"s an option. I like the simple Roku remote.

(Yicai Global) June 13 -- BOE Technology Group, TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology and other big Chinese liquid crystal display manufacturers are reducing output starting from this month to try and stop a freefall in prices caused by a global glut.

Panel makers are cutting production by 16 percent on average from this month, Rong Chaoping, senior researcher at market research firm AVC Revo, told Yicai Global. Television panel makers are expected to ship 3.6 million less panels than last month.

Panel makers will reduce capacity by between 15 and 20 percent this month, said Wu Rongbing, chief analyst at Chinese semiconductor intelligence service Omdia.

TCL China Star intends to continue with its production cuts until September, while Beijing-based BOE and HKC Optoelectronics Technology have not yet decided how long they will reduce output, Rong said. None of the three companies responded when contacted by Yicai Global.

LCD TV display shipments from China’s five largest panel manufacturers accounted for 68.5 percent of the global market in April, a new high, and they were expected to exceed 70 percent this year, according to Omdia.

The global panel industry is expected to slash production by about 20 percent this year, according to Beijing-based Sigmaintell. It is the first time since 2013 that the worldwide sector has implemented such a large-scale and wide-ranging cut in manufacturing. But it should help to slow the fall in prices, Li said.

“Tumbling prices are squeezing profits,” Li said. “The price of a TV panel is now below cost price and that of some data panels is also below the manufacturing cost.”

“Panel makers are facing rising liquidity pressure and bigger losses as prices are now below cost price, so the display industry is likely to undergo another big reshuffle,” Rong said.

Panel prices are likely to stop dropping this month or next as output falls, Wu said. Whether prices will start to pick up soon depends on when demand improves.

Unfortunately….the TV Screen is bad. The LEDs are at fault.. It is nearly impossible to remove screen cover to replace the LEDs in any TV. When under warranty…we will receive a new panel (screen, once called the picture tube) and replace. Take boards out of bad TV and install into new panel. A new panel is as much as the TV $. I have seen many TVs with this problem, and is common to all sets now. Thanks for asking, Matt of Martins TV Repair.

I have repaired many of these. Unfortunately the LEDs are not operating correctly. It may be the LED board. But truly the LEDs are flickering because of a faulty LED. These units can have approxitimately 40 + LEDs. If one goes out….they all go. The only real poosible repair is to replace the entire panel (What you actually watch is the panel). You may have seen repair on line, replacing LED strips…that may be fine. This is very time consuming and can be a complete waste of time. Under warranty, ( year old or less) a new panel is sent. We remove the boards from your now TV, and place them into the new panel. I would consider shopping for a new set. Thanks for asking, Matt of Martins TV repair.

There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used.VA

The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.8 bits

Frame Rate Control (FRC) is a method, which allows the pixels to show more color tones. With quick cyclic switching between different color tones, an illusion for a new intermediate color tone is created. For example, by using FRC, a 6-bit display panel is able to show 16.7 millioin colors, which are typical for 8-bit display panels, and not the standard 262200 colors, instead. There are different FRC algorithms.No

The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC.16777216 colors

The backlight is the source of light of the LCD display panels. The type of backlight determines the image quality and the color space of the display. There are various backlights such as CCFL, LED, WLED, RGB-LED, and etc.Direct LED

Headquartered in Guangdong, TCL designs, manufactures and sells televisions, smartphones, air conditioners, washers and refrigerators. Television however has been at the top, selling over 20 million units worldwide. One of the leading TV brands in the world, TCL has 21 research centers in different corners and has operations in over 80 cities across Asia, North America, South America and Europe. Employing some 75,000, the company boasts of 21 manufacturing units and has won several awards for its design and technology. It was the winner of PC Mag’s Editor’s Choice Awards in 2014 and 2015.

Under televisions, you can can find TCL models starting with 28-inches to up to 65 inches. They come with HD support, True Color Technology, Dolby Digital, 3000+ streaming channels, WiFi and ethernet ports, among others. Models available in the US include 32d2700, 32S3800, 40FS3750, 43FP110, 43UP130, 48FD2700, 50FS3800, 55FS3750, 65US5800, 55UP130, 55US5800, to name a few. As for ACs, you have DER series, DM series, I series, KC series and K series. The mobile segment operates under TCL’s subsidiary brand Alcatel OneTouch.

TCL products can be purchased at leading e-tailer websites such as Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart. You can also shop from its own official e-store. If you are looking for softwares, manuals or others, you can download same from the website. For more information or queries on store locations, refund, cancellation, technical support, warranty, service centers, or others, reach the TCL customer service.

Update:From further testing we have concluded that all current TCL TVs that we have reviewed do not display 4:4:4, but 4:2:2. This is due to the TV inputs accepting 4:4:4 but actually displaying 4:2:2. 4:2:2 is better than 4:2:0, but slightly blurrier for text than 4:4:4.

Roku is the smart platform on the TCL US5800 and it delivers great smart features. It has thousands of apps including most of the popular ones. Its interface is quick and the menus and remote are straightforward for anyone to use. The fact that this TV doesn"t have a lot of options plays favorably for its user-friendliness. The US5800 also has a lot of inputs which is great.

Then again, if you want a 65-inch Roku TV, your only option is to go 4K, and the 65-inch TCL 65US5800 is a great value. But for smaller sizes, the standard 1080p Roku TVs are better deals.

These sets" main competition, aside from other Roku TVs, comes from the 4K sizes in Vizio"s D and E series. The pricing is comparable, but from what I"ve seen the Vizios deliver better picture quality largely thanks to their local dimming backlights. Of course the main reason to get a Roku TV is for its superior streaming and app experience, and if that"s your aim, and you want 4K, these TCLs are just the ticket.

Series information: I performed a hands-on evaluation of the 50-inch 50UP130, but most of the observations I mad there apply to the two sizes in the US5800 series as well. All sizes in both the UP130 and US5800 series have identical specs and according to the manufacturer should provide very similar picture quality. The only differences between the two series are the remote and styling; see below for details.TCL US5800 and UP130 series 4K Roku TVs

The menus and apps loaded quickly on the TCL TV, which behaved every bit as speedily as the Roku Streaming Stick. For more on Roku in general, check out that review.

I reviewed the TCL 50UP130 (which Roku says has the same image quality as the US5800) and the Insignia NS-­50DR710NA17, two 50-inch 4K Roku TVs, together as part of the same comparison lineup. Image quality, as I saw with last year"s non-4K Roku TVs, was good but not great, and as I"ve seen with so many reviews in the past, there"s no real benefit to having 4K resolution, whether via streaming or Blu-ray. Unless you plan to use these TVs as large computer monitors, you won"t see much, if any benefit compared to 1080p models, even on the larger screen sizes.

Dim lighting:Compared against the Vizios, the TCL and Insignia had a difficult time reproducing the same convincing depth of black. In Samsara, for example, the screen behind the titles, the shadows around the erupting volcano and the recesses of the carvings all appeared relatively light. Compared against the Samsung and LG in this test, however, the Rokus weren"t significantly worse, the the Roku"s detail in shadows was fine.

Video processing:As I expected from 60Hz TVs the Roku sets delivered minimal motion resolution, so sensitive viewers might notice a bit more blurring than on other TVs, but I found it difficult to see any loss of detail with normal program material. They delivered 1080p/24 cadence well, and both were solid combatants of input lag (see the Geek Box below for more)--although the Insignia was slightly better at 28ms, compared to 45ms for the TCL.

Uniformity: Both Roku TVs were a bit worse than the others in this category, with more brightness variations visible across the screen in test patterns. With most content the variations weren"t visible, however, and when I watched a bit of hockey--with fast camera movement and a mostly-white screen that can expose such variations--the Roku sets didn"t look any worse than the others. They also lacked any of the egregious bright spots and "flashlights" that can plague other LCDs.
