Implementation of Game and Sports modes are odd.Android TV brings apps, Chromecast and hands-free Google Assistant.TCL C715 features – Android smarts, but limited settings for picture and sound In the design department, there’s plenty the TCL C715 gets right. The remote, meanwhile, is slim, clicky and responsive, with hotkeys for the near-ubiquitous Freeview Play and Netflix. With connections sitting on the left, if your setup is more suited to the right, then you might need to move things around. The rear is slim enough (1,229 x 766 x 300mm, HWD with stand) to make wall-mounting a possibility.

The slim metal bezel offers minimal distractions, and the feet – which can be configured in narrow (which I chose) and wide positions – offer flexibility (you don’t get this with the 50-inch model, however).
