    Observations

    • No software interpolation, unlike the already-covered TC002C Duo in this comparison. The plain TC002 displays its 256 × 192 directly, without bringing the figure up to 512 × 384 — a naming difference of a single character ('C' added) that actually covers a significant difference in image processing. A concrete illustration of why checking the native resolution rather than just the commercial name is essential, as explained in our article on super resolution.
    • Same sensor and same NETD as the TC002C Duo, so the choice between the two comes down purely to a preference for a sharp, untouched image or a softer, larger on-screen rendering.
    • Incomplete documentation on weight and dimensions in the sources consulted at this stage.
