The TCL C655 PRO TV operates on the Google TV system, which is an extension of the popular Android TV. Google TV offers personalized content recommendations based on viewed materials and user preferences, providing easy access to movies, series, and apps. Thanks to its clear interface, navigation is simple, and access to popular streaming apps such as Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and Disney+ allows enjoying a wide range of content. The system also supports integration with the Google ecosystem, enabling control of the TV using voice commands with Google Assistant and synchronization with other smart home devices.
The TCL C655 PRO offers additional features that enhance usability, such as support for Apple AirPlay, allowing for quick content streaming from Apple devices directly to the TV screen. Additionally, the ability to connect peripherals via Bluetooth – e.g., keyboards, mice, or headphones – makes usage even more convenient. Unfortunately, this model does not have the functionality to record content to USB or the picture-in-picture (PiP) option, which may be a disappointment for those accustomed to these conveniences in traditional television. Nevertheless, the TCL C655 PRO offers many modern solutions that facilitate daily entertainment.
The design of the TCL C655 PRO TV appears modern, with elegant and slim metallic bezels that add sturdiness and aesthetic appeal to the device. Overall, it looks very good and will certainly fit into most interiors. Although the bezels are minimalist, the TV itself is not among the thinnest on the market, especially compared to Korean competitors who often offer even slimmer designs.
Classic TV Features
In terms of classic features, The Frame does not stand out in any way compared to the competition. There is no USB recording option or PiP (picture in picture) feature, which may be disappointing for some users. On the other hand, the TV allows for simultaneous use of speakers and headphones, which can be useful – especially for older users. The EPG, or electronic program guide, is quite readable, and despite the lack of traditional buttons on the remote, we managed to launch even the teletext. In everyday use, the basic functions work smoothly and without significant complaints.
Smart System – Tizen and Apps
The Frame 2025 runs on the Tizen operating system, which has been considered one of the most refined Smart TV solutions on the market for years. It is a system designed for devices that are more than just a television – and it was created with that spirit in mind. Tizen offers full integration with external devices – supporting both Apple AirPlay and Miracast. With the SmartThings app, it is possible to control not only the television but also other devices within the smart home. Since last year, Samsung has also been developing its own voice assistant with support for the Polish language, which significantly facilitates operation. However, the greatest strength of the Smart system in The Frame remains the Art Gallery app. Although access to it is paid (via subscription), it offers the best art scans on the market – we are talking about scans, not just ordinary photos. As a result, the effect of a digital artwork hanging on the wall looks much better than in any other lifestyle TV.
