Full review
The C7L replaces the C7K, TCL's budget 55 to 77-inch range. It moves to TCL's Super Quantum Dot Mini LED technology, which TCL says improves colour and brightness, and the 75-inch has 1,352 dimming zones and a claimed 3,000 nits.
TCL's UK page lists a 144Hz native panel, a 288Hz Game Accelerator at 1080p on HDMI 1 and 2, the TSR AiPQ processor and Google TV with Gemini. HDR support covers Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ and HLG. The main difference from the C8L is connectivity: TCL names only HDMI 1 and 2 for the high-refresh modes, so treat it as two full HDMI 2.1 inputs, one of which also carries eARC.
There is no anti-glare coating mentioned, so a reflective screen is likely in a bright room, and the Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers are a modest upgrade rather than a feature, so a soundbar is worthwhile.
At 75 inches it is one of the most affordable big Mini LEDs from a major brand.

Spec check note: TCL's UK page gives the zone count and brightness and names HDMI 1 and 2 for 288Hz; one listing shows four HDMI ports without saying how many are 2.1, so we show two. TCL does not publish audio power; one retailer quotes 60W for the 65-inch, so we leave it out. Size and weight come from retailer spec data (several listings agree).
