We are going to share our thoughts on whether this latest range of TVs could take the Indian market by storm or not. TCL smart TVs will compete against Kodak, Intex, Sanyo and a handful of other smart TVs selling in the Indian market. One of the biggest competitors for TCL TVs will be the tech giant Xiaomi, which has also introduced its new Mi TVs in the Indian market.

TCL has partnered with Flipkart and the new iFFALCON smart TVs will sell exclusively on the e-commerce giant. Let's have a closer look at the newly launched smart TV portfolio by TCL.

Display and Design

iFFALCON 55 K2A 4K Ultra-HD Smart TViFFALCON 55-inches 4K Ultra HD smart TV is the flagship device from the Chinese electronics manufacturer. The bezels on this TV are not as thin as expected and you can see the borders distinctively from the display. Besides, the iFFALCON 55 K2A also has a substantial thickness and you can easily notice the curves or bumps on the rear of the device.

The SmartTV houses the ports for A/V output. The 4K UHD TV features a panel that offers a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels display. The Smart TV supports HDR along with 4K resolution, which definitely adds to its positive aspects. iFFALCON 55K2A also features Micro Dimming technology-? Kya karti hai ye technology

iFFALCON 40F2

Next in the portfolio is iFFALCON 40FT. It is a 40-inch smart TV that comes with almost similar bezels as seen on the iFFALCON55 K2A. The thickness of the panel is also similar and the ports are placed at the rear side of the panel. However, unlike the flagship version, this TV is void of 4K HDR resolution.

iFFALCON 40F2 comes with features like Full HD and Micro Dimming technology. The LED HD backlight is said to enhance the colour gamut and also provide dynamic contrast. We found the display to be bright and responsive in the brief time we used the device in demo zone. However, we will a detailed review in future.

iFFALCON 32F2

This is another variant of iFFALCON F2 series. It features a 32-inch display and bezels similar to the fellow models launchedyesterday. The rear panel of iFFALCON 32F2 is similar to that of the iFFALCON 40F2. It seems like the company had used a same design for all the three models, except for the fact that the flagship device gets a 4K HDR display. The A/V ports are located at the rear of the device just as it is placed in the other variants.
