What Customers Say

Expert testers note that the C655K has an impressive specification for its price, with QLED technology delivering bright and punchy colours and a surprisingly strong audio system. It supports a wide range of HDR formats and has many smart features, but reviewers criticise the contrast and black level, pointing out that a ‘dirty screen’ effect and a Dolby Vision bug detract from dark scenes. While the feature list is extensive and the sound is better than expected, picture uniformity issues and limited black detail mean it’s not the best choice for cinema fans. Overall, it offers solid value and lots of apps, though the image quality is uneven.
