Go read the review on your set.
This is for the C807 and it has edge backlighting which is superior to the C803 which is direct backlight. The C803 comes packaged with a simpler remote which lacks voice control and a 3.5mm jack for private listening.
Type : LED
Resolution : 4k
Refresh Rate : 60 Hz
The TCL C807 4k Roku TV is a decent LCD/LED TV with better than average build quality and design. It features a wider color gamut for vibrant HDR content and very low input lag for responsive gaming. Unfortunately, its blacks are not very uniform, and its picture quality deteriorates even at a slight angle.

Pros
Sturdy, nicely finished design
Roku smart platform is both simple and quick
Cons
Could be brighter for HDR *
Poor black uniformity**
Picture quality degrades at an angle***
*The TCL C Series C807 LED TV has an average picture quality. The high contrast ratio makes for a good dark room performance, with a high level of detail in dark scene. Unfortunately, the bad black uniformity and the lack of local dimming hurt the dark room performance in the end. When set in a bright room, the C807 performs better, since it can get fairly bright and deal decently with reflection and glare.
The gray uniformity is average though and dirty screen effect is visible when watching sports like football. ***The very narrow viewing angle won't make it the best TV to watch sports event with all your friend since only people sitting right in front of the TV will have the best picture quality. Finally, HDR performance is ordinary since the TV can't really get brighter than in SDR and the lack of local dimming doest help even if it has a wide color gamut.
**The black uniformity is disappointing. Most of the uniformity issues are due to the visible clouding near each corner of the screen.
I't a $400 TV quite trying to sell us on the fact that a Denali is the same a Rangerover. It's not.
For "cheap" people it's an adequate set. But the TV's I mentioned earlier while more expensive are better sets.
