Alza has discounted a TV again that has no competition in terms of price/performance. It now costs only 16 thousand

A week ago, we recommended the TCL 55C89K for 18,743 CZK, stating it was one of the best buys on the market. Now it’s even better — with code ALZADNY35, you can buy this TV for 16,244 CZK. The original price was 25,990 CZK, so the current discount is 37%. A Mini LED TV with 720 dimming zones, 144 Hz, Dolby Vision IQ, and 60W Bang & Olufsen speakers — at a price for which basic panels are usually sold.

Quick Summary:
✅ Makes sense for anyone looking for a 55″ TV with premium picture quality — for movies, games, sports, or as a large monitor for a laptop.
⚠️ Consider if you mind Google TV instead of Tizen or webOS, and if 55″ will be sufficient for your living room.
💡 For 16,244 CZK, you get Mini LED with 720 zones, 4K, 144 Hz, all HDR formats including Dolby Vision IQ, IMAX Enhanced, and 60 W sound with Dolby Atmos.

What makes this TV exceptional

720 local dimming zones on a 55″ panel is an unparalleled density in this price category. Most competitors offer 200–400 zones for similar money. The result is deep blacks with minimal blooming, precise brightness control, and contrast that approaches significantly more expensive models. The HVA panel with an anti-reflective coating ensures a readable image even in a well-lit room and solid viewing angles.

The TV supports a complete palette of HDR standards — HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Vision IQ, which automatically adjusts the picture to ambient lighting. Additionally, it features IMAX Enhanced certification and Filmmaker Mode for authentic movie viewing as intended by creators. The AiPQ Pro processor optimizes the image frame by frame.

Gaming features and use as a monitor

Four HDMI 2.1 ports, 144 Hz in game mode, ALLM, VRR, and FreeSync Premium Pro certification — on PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC, this TV offers smooth, tear-free visuals with low latency. More and more people are also using a TV as a large monitor for a computer or MacBook. At a viewing distance of about a meter and a half, a 55″ panel with an anti-reflective coating and 144 Hz is a more comfortable workspace than most monitors — and at a significantly lower price.

The built-in 60W Bang & Olufsen speakers with a subwoofer and support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X provide surprisingly decent sound for regular viewing even without a soundbar. The Google TV system with AirPlay 2 and Google Cast covers all major streaming services and iPhone mirroring.

Would you buy a 55″ Mini LED TV for 16 thousand, or would you prefer to pay extra for a larger diagonal?
