TCL L65P6US is the senior model in the P6 line of the Chinese manufacturer. The 65-inch diagonal is not very popular, but I decided to tell you about this TV, because all the other members of the line have almost the same characteristics. Price - 58 thousand rubles. More or less close to him except that Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 65 Pro... All other TVs of popular brands with such a diagonal will cost several times more. Meanwhile, TCL is already one of the top three sales leaders in the world and is about to break into the 5 most popular brands in the Russian Federation. For this, they even set up their own production in Kaliningrad.
This model participates in ranking of the best Smart TV TVs.
Screen
65-inch sensor with 4K resolution and HDR support. Brightness - 320 cd / m22, contrast ratio - 4.000: 1. With such a large diagonal, the quality of the picture can be questioned, but thanks to the MICRO DIMMING technology, the image is decent, the color reproduction is excellent, the black is almost perfect, there is no glare on the screen, the viewing angles are large.
Depending on the store, the model may be slightly cheaper or slightly more expensive. The picture looks more juicy due to the use of FRC technology.
Appearance
TCL L65P6US is an almost frameless TV in silver color. The frame material is metal, on the bottom edge there is a power button, which did not fit on the frame and partially goes down - an unusual solution. There are no more buttons on the case. The speaker diffusers are hidden behind the screen, directed downward. The set includes 2 removable metal legs, it is possible to mount it on the wall (there is a VESA 400 × 200 bracket). At the back, the TV has a plastic casing on which technological connectors are located: the power connector is located on the left, and all inputs / outputs for connecting external devices are on the right.
Connectors
The TV is equipped with all modern connectors: antenna input for analog, digital and satellite TV, 2 USB, 3 HDMI, LAN, composite input, mini-Jack (3.5 mm) for headphones, optical audio output, CI slot. Supported wireless technologies Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. You can find fault and say that 2 USB, taking into account the possibility of connecting a mouse and keyboard, is not enough, but for 58 thousand he can be forgiven for this small drawback. Have Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 65 Pro USB ports are also 2, like many more expensive TVs.
Sound
The standard acoustics, consisting of two speakers of 8 watts, is responsible for the sound. Dolby Digital is supported. Sound is not the strongest point of this TV. It is decent, voluminous, even with good lows, but given the large diagonal, which is most often purchased for setting up a home theater, it is necessary to think about external acoustics.
If speak about Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 65 Pro, then it is also equipped with 16-watt acoustics with a hint that when buying a TV with such a diagonal external acoustics are still needed.
Functions
Speaking about the functions of TCL L65P6US, one should immediately note the excellent built-in DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S2, DVB-T2 tuners. Have Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 65 Pro there is only DVB-T, you have to buy equipment to watch channels in digital, satellite television. Here TCL L65P6US wins.
Smart TV runs on the LINUX operating system. Of course, it feels like it's not Android, but in general everything is decent, it works smartly, without significant lags. The interface is acceptable, the set of preinstalled applications is decent - in principle, everything you need is there. Has its own App Store.The standard media player plays all formats. The browser is also not bad, it is pleasant to use it. There are DLNA, Time Shift, EPG functions, sleep and on / off timers, teletext, parental control.
Control of TV functions - convenient, functional remote control or from a smartphone. There is no voice control.

conclusions
For a price of less than 60 thousand rubles, this 65-inch TV is even too good. High-quality picture, built-in tuners, wireless technologies, worthy of Smart TV. You can only find fault with the sound quality, but the problem is solved by connecting external acoustics.
Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 65 Pro is also not bad in its own way, but it is more likely intended for multimedia content, there are no built-in tuners, but it works on the basis of a full-fledged Android TV.
Still, I think TCL L65P6US is more versatile: you can watch TV on it, and it has great multimedia capabilities. Therefore, at about the same price, I would take it, although I usually vote with both hands for Android TV. If you are a fan of this operating system and do not want to switch to another, then the Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 65 will be a good choice.
