In today's society, games have become an indispensable pastime in the lives of many workers. Some people like action games, some people like shooting games, some people want to find the innocence and innocence of childhood in the game, and some people want to realize their dream of dominating the world in the game. For most people, the game is no longer just a way to rest and relax, but a pure land of bliss that no one knows about in the depths of their hearts.
In today's increasingly hot game industry, the demand for games by players is also gradually rising. Although it is very convenient to play games with mobile phones, it always feels that the screen is too small, resulting in the game screen is not shocking enough. In my opinion, an excellent game experience not only requires a stunning plot, three-dimensional character image shaping, excellent game content design, exquisite and delicate, such as the scene of the sound and picture experience is also essential, with ordinary monitors is difficult to fully show the game in the movie-level scenes. The question is, what kind of display device can take the console and game to the extreme?
In recent years, there have been many gaming TV products on the market, in addition to the standard HDMI 2.1 interface, such products generally provide a smooth gaming experience with low latency and high refresh rate. Coincidentally, Recently, Ray Technology received the TCL Electric Light Blue Game TV V8E Max. As a new generation of gaming TV designed for the pan-entertainment crowd, TCL Electric Light Blue Game TV adopts a 120Hz high frame rate display, a new generation of HDMI2.1 interface and Conchs Sound audio, which has made a leap forward in terms of picture quality and sound effects.
What exactly is it like to play console games with a very large screen? With the blessing of 120Hz rapid refresh, what kind of height can the gaming experience of this product rise to? You may wish to quickly understand this product through the hands-on experience of Lei Technology.
Appearance: stylish appearance, thin and light design
According to the convention, first introduce the core configuration, this time we received a 65-inch TCL Electric Light Blue Game TV V8E Max, priced at 3999 yuan. In addition, there are 55-inch versions priced at 2999 yuan and 75-inch versions priced at 5499 yuan for users with different needs to choose. One thing to say, compared with some game TVs that sell for nearly 5,000 yuan, the price of TCL V8E Max is actually a great value for money.
Nowadays, more and more young people are beginning to pursue personalized home design, whether it is a light luxury simple style or a pragmatic Japanese log style, a set of fun and good-looking home appliances are needed to enhance the overall home atmosphere. When purchasing smart TVs, in addition to pursuing the immersive viewing experience brought by the high screen ratio, young users also have higher requirements for the overall design and workmanship of the TV, and the product appearance has become one of the important reference factors.
TCL Electric Blue Gaming TV adopts a boundless full-screen design, the visual effect is close to the four sides of the same width, the thickness of the front border is also very thin. Excellent full-screen design makes the entire screen unfold like a canvas, this design basically eliminates the shackles brought by the visual, can make the user's field of vision more open, whether watching movies, playing games can get a wider large-screen view, enjoy an immersive seamless experience.
In terms of design, compared to similar products that are still commonly used in metal nude/ordinary black on the market, the TCL 65V8E Max gaming TV innovatively uses an electric blue color scheme. The blue-hued metal border with the dovetail base, while being strong and durable, also has a fairly good appearance, looking energetic and excellent in texture, which is very suitable for the aesthetic requirements of young people.
Configuration: HDMI 2.1+ WiFi 6 Pro, gaming TV benchmark
On the left side of the TV is the interface area, and the IO configuration of the TCL Electro-Optic Blue Gaming TV is quite good: three HDMI (one of which supports full-speed HDMI 2.1), two USB-A (including one USB 3.0), an RJ45 network interface, a fiber optic audio port, a coaxial cable TV interface, and an AV interface that looks like a normal headphone interface.
Why dedicate HDMI 2.1 to it? Because this interface is actually an important part of TCL Electro-Light Blue Gaming TV's "high-speed gaming" - as a technical standard for ultra-high-quality audio and video transmission, the HDMI 2.1 interface includes dynamic HDR, variable refresh rate (VRR), and automatic low latency mode (ALLM). Not only that, but HDMI 2.1 has a bandwidth of up to 48 Gbps, which can greatly improve the rendering experience of high-specification content sources.
Not only that, it may be to cope with the pressure of cloud games, may also be for a better audiovisual experience, TCL has also made a "blood cost" in wireless connectivity, equipped with a new generation of WiFi 6 Pro wireless network card for Q71, with a high-speed Wi-Fi 6 router, theoretically can run beyond the gigabit wired network connection speed, and there will never be a three-second caton phenomenon when playing cloud games.
Gaming experience: silky smooth, the best companion for console games
Due to the impact of the epidemic and the tide of mines, since the beginning of the previous year, the domestic console game players have grown rapidly, and more and more young people are inclined to play games on PS5, Xbox and other consoles, and console games want to get a more refreshing experience, it is certainly indispensable to a TV or monitor with excellent parameters. Manufacturers who have insight into this market trend have chosen to enter the game TV market.
As the competition between gaming TVs enters a white-hot phase, manufacturers have begun to frequently fight in terms of refresh rates, just as which manufacturer has the highest refresh rate, which product has a better gaming experience. Guided by this notion, the refresh rate of TVs seems to be converging towards the refresh rate of esports displays.
However, the higher the refresh rate, does that really mean that the better the gaming experience? In fact, users familiar with the game industry know that limited by the performance of the next era game console (PS5/XSX), the mainstream console games on the market can generally only run at 4K/60 frames (picture quality mode) or 4K/120 frames (frame number mode), and the high brush of 120Hz has basically met the current needs.
In addition, the excessively high panel refresh rate will not only affect the color performance of the screen itself, but also means high power consumption and low service life of the screen. So, for gamers, a 120Hz refresh rate is enough, which can't help but make people reflect, in the case of excess refresh rate performance, do we really need a 240Hz high-brush screen TV? That's a matter of opinion!
As a new generation of TCL gaming TV, TCL Electric Blue Gaming TV V8E Max adopts a 120Hz high frame rate display, which connects to the game console through the interface of HDMI 2.1 protocol, which can ensure that a TV can get the best experience in the picture quality display part when paired with next-generation consoles such as Xbox Series X or PS5. Next, I will use different games to show you the game effects of the TCL 65V8E Max.
In terms of gaming experience, we first tested it with the PS5 game Horizon: Dawn of Zero, which supports 4K/60 frame display. It is not difficult to see from the picture that the TCL 65V8E Max shows the wasteland scene to the fullest, and there is no caton tearing phenomenon in the action scenes of flashing and moving, zhang bow and arrow, allowing players to enjoy the bloody battle experience between various mechanical beasts.
Next, we play Borderlands 3, which supports up to 4K/120 frames on the PS5. Black thick line outline, rich lines, strong colors, thanks to this 120Hz screen blessing, the unique cartoon rendering effect of the Borderlands series on the TCL Electric Light Blue Game TV V8E Max is very good, and the scene details are restored very well.
In this kind of high-speed shooting game, the combat design of some scenes requires players to react in a very short time, which requires smooth graphics throughout the process, with low latency and no smearing. In actual experience, TCL Electric Light Blue Game TV V8E Max has a smooth screen display, timely key feedback, frame rate performance is very good, timely response and smooth picture effect make whether it is an open door kill or a fast-paced battle, there is a very good experience.
It is worth mentioning that in order to further optimize the game experience, TCL Electric Light Blue Game TV V8E Max is also equipped with MEMC dynamic compensation technology, which can supplement low frame rate content to high frame rate technology, which helps to improve screen fluency. Therefore, the combination of 120Hz + MEMC, the smoothness and stability of the picture can be exerted to the extreme, and it is truly silky smooth.
"Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5" is undoubtedly one of the most important game series on the Xbox series console, 120Hz + MEMC sports compensation, directly solves the traditional high-speed sports screen existence of smearing and stuttering and other issues, even if the car on the screen is speeding at high speed, the logo of the tail is also clearly visible, so that the rapidly changing game screen will not appear on the big screen tearing feeling.
After experiencing several generations of game works, TCL Electric Blue Gaming TV V8E Max's excellent gaming experience is clear at a glance, with 120Hz refresh rate hardware equipment and meMC dynamic compensation technology to bring smooth graphics performance, creating this high-quality game display device.

Whether it is the grass nearby, the mountains in the distance, or the clear blue sky, the overall picture has rich color layers, and the transition between color and light and shadow is soft and natural, with strong picture appeal.

Compared with the picture and size, the sound quality is often overlooked, which is one of the reasons why similar products on the market generally use unbranded dual speakers. However, this does not mean that sound quality is not important to the TV, on the contrary, excellent sound quality is the basic guarantee of a good gaming experience. TCL Electric Blue Gaming TV V8E Max is equipped with a Concert sound system, which can make the bass thicker, the treble clearer, and the game more immersive under the blessing of Dolby and DTS decoding.
