Image quality

The TCL QLED C61B is the starter model of the TCL QLED televisions. This TV has a Quantum Dot layer, which allows you to watch images with vibrant and bright colors. You notice this during a nature documentary. For example, you'll see subtle tones of green in the plants of the tropics. This television has a peak brightness of 600 nits, which makes the colors of the rain forest pop on the screen even more. Thanks to the 4K UHD screen, you can enjoy razor-sharp images and small details are clearly visible.
4K LED P71B: standard brightness
The P71B is the high-end model of the TCL LED televisions. On the TCL LED P71B, you'll see sharp images as well thanks to the 4K UHD resolution. But, they'll have a lower brightness than on the QLED C61B. Thanks to the 10-bit color depth, the TV displays over a billion colors. As a result, the image quality of Dolby Vision and HDR10+ comes out best. But, the brightness is much lower than with the QLED C61B televisions due to the peak brightness of 350 nits.

Smooth images
QLED C61B
Do you like to watch sports games or fast action movies? The refresh rate of the screen is important to keep in mind. The first televisions from the LED C61B series have a 50Hz refresh rate, so fast movements don't always look as smooth. From the 55-inch models from this series, the televisions have a 100Hz refresh rate.
4K LED P71B: mostly 100Hz
The 4K LED P71B series has a wider selection of televisions with a high refresh rate. From 55-inch and higher, the TVs from this series have a 100Hz refresh rate. Thanks to this, you can enjoy smooth fast-moving images as well. For example, the rolling ball will be displayed smoothly during a soccer match. The 42 and 50-inch televisions from this series have a 50Hz refresh rate.
Sound quality
QLED C61B: built-in subwoofer and 3 speakers
From the 55-inch size, the TV has 3 speakers with 35W power and a built-in subwoofer. Thanks to this, you can enjoy a good sound quality. The subwoofer provides a powerful sound, which makes your movie or series even more immersive. The subwoofer is built into the TV at the bottom of the screen. The 43 and 50-inch model have 2 speakers and no built-in subwoofer.
4K LED P71B: 2 speakers
The sound of this television comes from 2 speakers with 20W power. These provide a good sound when you watch the news, for example. But since the TV doesn't have a subwoofer, the sound misses depth. You'll notice this while you watch an action movie or a concert. The sound isn't as clear and powerful.

If you often watch series and movies and enjoy colorful scenes and an immersive sound, the QLED C61B is more suitable for you. The Quantum Dot layer and the 3 speakers with built-in subwoofer offer an immersive effect. If you want fast-moving images to be displayed smoothly, the 4K LED P71B is a better choice. That's because the 55-inch televisions of this series have a refresh rate of 100Hz. The QLED C61B has a 100Hz refresh rate from 85 inches.
