tats too bad, i see 6 series is doing very well in US
There's a reason for why they aren't selling them outside of USA .
TCL has been involved with lawsuit with other brands , because they were being accused of stealing technology ( They used to manufacture panels for the big brands )
Full Array Local Dimming of 128 zones at the price of 600 Us Dollars , that's almost a rob.
With that being said TCL 6 isn't flawless , the screen show minor artifacts @ 4k resolution . This has persists for several years already but it looks really difficult for them to fix.
There's also a major issue of uniformity , bandings / dirty screen effect in the current 6 series models which indicates poor Quality Control , heard someone has to send the TV back 5 times just to get a decent screen with good uniformity .

sometimes i have a thinking, like are those hisense or TCL or vivio are really lower quality then jap/kor.
says iphone, they spent to make good branding, and yet they are selling at a premium price. huawei also doing not bad, quality and hardware on pars to iphone, but selling at lower price
It isn't just about the quality . From what I see , the Hisense and TCL TVs have very solid designs and builds .
It is the experience they lack . Making TV requires advanced knowledge and experience into the technology .
Brands like Hisense is still relatively new in the international market , they just don't have a good grasp of what makes a great TV , yet.
Their high end TV may have matched the others in terms of specs and numbers , yet the TV is super unfriendly to calibrate , the out of box color accuracy is a disaster , the HDR EOTF tracking is all over the places , the remote is making distracting loud clicking sound which is bad for movies etc etc ....
They may rise on the top someday but that day is not now.
For people who just want to grab a functional TV screen to watch without breaking the bank , they still offer a watchable screen with some features.
