Smart Features: WebOS
One of the biggest advantages of the NANO81A model is its "brain", which is the operating system. LG has implemented a full-fledged WebOS version for 2025 here, which in terms of fluidity and user experience is on par with the more expensive models of this brand. Applications launch smoothly, and navigating through the menu is pure pleasure – there are no annoying stutters, which often occur with budget competitors. All of this is thanks to the unique remote with a pointer function (cursor), which has undergone a visual makeover this year. The manufacturer has opted for minimalism – the new Magic remote is significantly smaller and more ergonomic than its predecessors. It fits perfectly in the hand, but this change also has a downside. The physical numeric keypad has completely disappeared from the casing. For younger users, accustomed to streaming and selecting tiles, this will be no problem at all. However, older household members, attached to entering channel numbers by heart, will have to change their long-standing habits.
Everyday Use
In terms of functions that we would call "classic", the NANO81A sticks to a tried-and-true standard. It is not a multimedia powerhouse that will surprise you with exotic additions, but in everyday television tasks, it performs flawlessly. The handling of traditional terrestrial or cable television, including even the old faithful Teletext, is correct and intuitive. Wireless communication also deserves praise. The Bluetooth module works very reliably, allowing for quick and stable connection of a game controller or wireless headphones and speakers. It is simply a television that "works" – it is stable, predictable, and does not cause unnecessary complications during daily use.
Google TV i Smart TV
The multimedia heart of the TCL C7L is, of course, the Google TV operating system, which provides access to a vast app library and all the most popular streaming platforms on the market. The Smart TV in this model runs smoothly, offering full support for useful network features such as Apple AirPlay and Chromecast. A huge and very pleasant surprise, however, is the software's overall polish. We noticed that Google's system on the new C7L runs considerably smoother and faster than on last year's TCL models. This is largely thanks to better optimisation for the launch. Unnecessary pauses and minor interface stutters known from older models seem to be a thing of the past.
Funkcje telewizyjne
As far as traditional over-the-air or cable TV is concerned, the TCL C7L does not offer many additional advanced features. It's simply a basic receiver. The manufacturer has not attempted any revolutionary solutions here, so apart from the traditional programme guide you won't find anything special. A big nod to traditional viewers is the classic remote control. Contrary to the prevailing trend for minimalism, it still features a full numeric keypad, which makes switching channels much quicker.
