Enjoy 4K images and Virtual Dolby Atmos with the TCL 55 inches QLED P81K 4K (2025) + TCL Q65H bundle.
TelevisionEnjoy sharp, smooth images with the TCL 55 inches QLED P81K 4K (2025). Thanks to the 55-inch 4K screen, you can see all details of movies and series. The screen is 4 times sharper than a Full HD screen. There are tiny Quantum Dots behind the pixels that only allow the right colors to pass through. Thanks to this, you can watch colorful images with a high brightness. This way, a nature documentary looks realistic.
SoundbarYou can enjoy spatial audio and a deep bass with the TCL Q65H. The soundbar has Virtual Dolby Atmos. Thanks to this technology, it seems like sound is coming to your position from all sides. An airplane in a thrilling movie seems to be flying past you this way. Thanks to the included subwoofer, the bass sounds stronger. This gives movies and series more depth. That way, explosions in an action movie sound realistic.

The TCL QLED P81K 4K (2025) is a great 4K TV with some nice extras. The QLED screen makes the colors look bright and realistic. The P81K has built-in Onkyo speakers and a subwoofer, so I can enjoy clear, distinct sound. I can easily watch a series or TV program without a soundbar.
4K resolution The P81K has a 4K image resolution. This is 4 times sharper than full HD, which I notice when I watch a movie or series. I relive classic films such as The Lord of the Rings and see details that I didn't notice before. This resolution is also more than enough for modern content. I scroll to the Google TV smart platform, choose a series on Netflix and enjoy.
Bright colors Where the TCL P81K excels is in the color range. The TV has a layer of quantum dots behind the screen. These particles ensure a vibrant, realistic color reproduction. I notice that the QLED screen is more colorful than that of other basic TVs. Even in direct daylight. I do see reflections on the screen, but I have little trouble with this because of the QLED screen. My favorite Netflix series Arcane remains colorful and detailed. The TV does not have local dimming, which means that I sometimes do not see everything well in darker scenes.
Realistic sound This TV has 3 built-in Onkyo speakers. This also includes one subwoofer, which allows me to enjoy deeper bass tones than with other basic TVs. I think the sound is good enough for standard TV programs and some films and series. Do you like watching action films or listening to loud music? Then I recommend a separate sound system.

A 65" QLED with 100Hz for this price? How?! Just a really sharp picture. Good brightness, great viewing angle, and contrast. The sound is meh, but that's true for any TV. Google TV works fast. It takes a bit of searching for the Play Store, oddly enough. You can't find it through the menu. You can, however, use voice control ("Open the Play Store!").

Ordering and delivery through Coolblue went smoothly. We received a phone call fifteen minutes before delivery. Upon delivery, we also received a brief explanation about the warranty. Installing the TV was very simple. You simply follow the steps indicated on the screen. The TV has Google TV, which is highly recommended these days. This provides a clear interface where you can easily open any app. The picture quality is excellent. I tested it with gaming and streaming series. Both while gaming and with Netflix, the picture was razor-sharp and there was no lag whatsoever. In short: the TCL 55P8K is a top-notch TV for a relatively low price. Highly recommended!
