Hi is there a difference between the c755 launched last year compared to the 2024 model?
Hi Azhar. I will confirm as soon as TCL lets me know. Thanks
Hi Azhar. TCL says: “it is actually the same model however it started being sold last year and was only officially launched this year.” So if you bought that one, it is the new one! Thanks
