Neymar is the brand ambassador LOL.
Wonder can the TV keep rolling?

Anyway... TCL is an equivalent of Hisense

Both are China brands that more into low budget range of TVs

If you want higher quality TVs, better stick with Korean/Jap TVs

Wish lazada could bring model R617. Current best budget 4KTV in USA

TCL USA operates differently than TCL China / other regions.

They don't sell the same models of TV.

With that being said , none of the models they are selling in China and other region resemble the 6 series they are selling in USA .

Actually Hisense is selling high end TV

tats too bad, i see 6 series is doing very well in US

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

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 .



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.

would still stick with Jap/Kor brand TV only..
trusted by Many Malaysian

i am looking for cheap small tv for homestay. found about TCL at lazada. 32"for around 500 with DVBT2. anyone can comment?

32" TV ? Maybe your will get very bad review for your homestay. I think it should be at least 40".

cheap kampung homestay maa.. matching with price one

Sure boh. I see their demo TVs in Harvey Norman like Hi-lat only....

Homestay tak kisah lah. Janji ada TV and got HDMI port IN (for people who brings along their video games like me...i brought my Nintendo Switch to Korea).

i personally will stay away frm budget 4K TV, my budget 4k sharp felt extremely weird when watching movies which got those soap opera effect. drama still acceptable, and can get voice outta sync frm time to time.

Google leh
You can stop it by setting it to disable

Google what ah...better see for yourself in Showroom better.

You Said don’t have. I can only prove from google.

bought TCL 43inch during 11.11.. after almost 1.5yrs, everything is good. anyway, TCL got 3yrs warranty & the technician will come on site for any repair works. should be okay

unfortunately tried all of the option, nothing works.. so thats abt it..
maybe its a low budget model, so.. yeah.. disappointed..

Which model you have? I think the possibility is what you see seeing is "auto frame rate switching"? It makes the video smooth and no more juddering. Its much smoother than my old dumb TV 60Hz.
Mine Is UA6800X, this model has no motion smoothing feature.
As for audio out of sync, don't useHDMI ARC (which is terrible), and can be mostly resolve with optical out to your HT/soundbar.

When watxhing using TV speaker, no issue at all. You sure its not your video source that is the problem?

hehe, if know i think i will get tat also, but unfortunately mine 1 is lower class UA6500X... sigh..
kindly regret it now..

I remember watching a review which says anything less than the 6 series are not worth it.

Hi, Which model u bought? Any issue happen during 1.5 yrs?

43s6800. no dead pixel & no issue so far. Netflix & YouTube in full HD so good. the only drawback I dunno how to sideload play store / any other apk. wish I can install YouTube kids for my kids to watch, for now they have to settle with the normal YouTube. from my observations, it's way more faster & responsive than entry level sony/samsung/hisense/sharp/Toshiba smart TV. and other brands entry level normally only have YouTube only but not Netflix. my main purpose is to watch Netflix in HD only. so IT does achieves my expectation.

U can try install ES file explorer in TV.
Download the apps apk from Google and copy to USB and install the apk using ES file explorer in ur TV.

So is TCL TV reliable and good to use. Looking at the spec and print it is quite worth compare to well known brand.

Can you please do one analysis for us, how much TCL TV is cheaper compared to an equivalent model from the well known brand ?

i just bought basic 32" TCL for my homestay with DVBT2 tuner for RM495 incl shipping, after reading positive reviews. that's the cheapest i found with that spec. the next up is 600++.

& i am impressed with the color & sound quality. even better than my 32" basic samsung (4 yrs old though). not bad at all. now hoping that it will last long

if you are looking for basic tv, i'd say go for it. not sure about the more advanced model..

I think 32" TCL is not in the radar of most people these days. And from your analysis it is about RM100 difference. Which isn't much to make it worth the risk of trying a brand which has no office in Malaysia.

Maybe analyse a 55" inch TV.

that's all the analysis i got haha.

just saying that for those who are looking for cheap tvs for their homestay set up, with digital tuner, then it's the way to go. i bought 3 btw

So rich got 3 homestay.

no la.. 3 rooms only

Any TCL TV owner here tried to call the service center? I called several times nobody pickup at all, it is as responsive as skynet courier.

Any s6800 series user here ? My budget around 1k thinking tcl smart tv or normal led tv + tv box, can tcl install other apps like popcorn ? Tq

... how budget are we talking about here?

I'm looking for a budget 4k as well now you scaring me...

Um no worries. Soap opera effect can be disabled. These TVs are fine as you can see in other threads. I use it for PS4 & PC. Just don't expect it to perform like expensive TVs.

TCL announces 8-series TVs, 8K, and Mini-LED

https://vidnews.org/2019/08/15/tcl-announce...k-and-mini-led/

This is a big announcement,

Model	Size (inches)	Local dimming zones	QLED color	Price	Available
75Q825	75	~1,000	Yes	$3,000	Fall
65Q825	65	~1,000	Yes	$2,000

1000 local dimming zones !

But too bad, US market only.

According to this guy, TCL will release outside of USA, series X10 which is equivalent to the 8 series in USA.

The 8 series or the X10 will have 25,000 miniLEDs and 1000 dimming zones.

Does anyone has any idea on how to get 65r625 or 65q825 here in malaysia ?

No hope.

Hisense also releases better mid end machines such as H9F in US and also not coming to this part of the world. Even H9F is not sold in UK.

I suspect these machines are made with limited volume capacity. TCL and Hisense probably see other parts of the world ( such as Malaysia ) have no volume to make it profitable.

Wow thats so sad....

btw, if u can proof other physical store selling cheaper than harvey norman, they can match the price for u.

i took the info straight from a seller on Lazada

Ya tried it once with washing machine but it was a comparison with another branch of HN itself.
Not sure if it will be successful with an online store.

Well then , he is wrong .


AFAIK only the step up , much more expensive 75" U9A model has a Quantum Dots optical filter .

Yet proving another case of TV salesman have no idea what they are putting on their mouth thesedays .


And it has no local dimming either , with that measly 300 nits peak brightness .


Hisense is rich though and they are having a campaign where the brand is willing to replace your TV 1 to 1 within the first 3 years of warranty .

This post has been edited by Convael: Jan 15 2020, 01:34 PM

They will only look at physical store's offer.

My experience with HN with TV, washing machine and fridge. they matched the price i saw (with photo) at other shops

one thing i like HN is their free delivery, service and warranty

Thank you for your feedback. So between the 3, which would you go for?

And what is the reason ? Do you know or you don't know ?

This post has been edited by puchongite: Jan 19 2020, 01:20 PM

any p8s user here?

me was eyeing this model 65inch but that price same with pana gx740. i end up buy well known brand than tcl.

but what attracts me is with that pricing it support local dimming.

no idea whether its local dimming anot. but that pricing is not competitive at all. and no unit for viewing aside lazada to purchase

I've bought it though even i am too unable to view any demo unit.
seriously pricing wise is really not competitive as there's many other choices in the market...
but the PQ is really impressive, quite satisfy with this TV.
didn't expect they will have firmware upgrade in short time, but they did provide update firmware.. now it has prime video supported and more features loaded.

Does it support Dolby vision as per they claim?

I only managed to play dolby audio when I play Netflix.. I never see dolby vision logo appear but HDR 10 yes.

Ni kena recommend to Theoutspokenguy. He love his 75" TV

i see. thanks. if u watch narcos on netflix should know have Dolby vision anot already.

Anyone knows which shop I can cash and carry for tcl 55 inch in klang Valley area? Except Singer shops. Their prices are more expensive.

I tried contacting those lazada sellers but they aren't responsive at all.

planned to buy TCL 4k tv , basically for astro .. which model should i go for ? 50-55 inch enough for me

Viewing distance range for 4K 55 inch TV is 4.6-6.9 feet.

thank you

Hi
I have just bought a 55inch TCL P8S.
Does anyone else have it?
Mind sharing the picture quality settings to test it out?

where did you bought it ? online is it ?

Yes, i bought it from Lazada TCL Official Shop, it was somehow being sent by SenHeng Electrical Shop boys.
That would be better instead of getting the regular GDex or FedEx boys to send it.
The electrical shop boys would know how to handle it.

So far, the Movie mode is the most accurate calibrated picture that comes default with the TV.

how about the receipt? does it written senheng too?

always go big if wallet allows.

im sitting 8 feets aways from the 60" TV

i feel the tv:
is big on the first 3 days
is ok on the next week
is small after a month

eyeing for bigger size plus reasonable price , budget max rm2500

picture quality is it good ? basically for my parents , they are movie kaki .. love to watch astro and blu ray movies

if PQ is your concern, chooses direct led and VA panel

in most of the case, they provide better PQ

This post has been edited by gacktleong: Jul 15 2020, 11:04 AM

I bought it during 7.7 with RM300 off, which comes to be RM2529 which is the cheapest i can find for this model.
The panel is a VA panel, so although viewing angles are not great like IPS panel, it is definitely ok if you watch it directly in front of it.

I am still trying to get to the calibrated settings and i am currently using the default Movie mode in there and the PQ is great.
No issue watching bluray or astro or even HDR content.

When streaming HDR content from Youtube, there is a pop up on the top left of the screen that tells you that you are playing HDR content.
It being a Android TV, what i do is to install a file management software and stream movies from my google drive.

The in-built media player can play 2160p, 10/12bit mkv files as well.
It could not handle BS-ISO or BDMV folders btw.

It has Dolby Audio as well which does not come for TVs at this price range.
In built memory is around 10GB which gives you about 4 - 5GB of extra storage for you to install your needed apps.

For all astro users, you all will have access to HBO GO app as well, which is what i have installed too, but i think HBO GO only streams at HD (720p) which is being up-scaled to 4k, where you shall notice a little lack of quality there.

NOTE: I am not related to TCL anyhow...just sharing my experience with the newly bought TV.

Some local review here:
https://techent.tv/2020/01/23/in-depth-review-tcl-55p8s/

Which is latest model P8S or P8M ?

P8S is the latest. I wanted to buy P8M but didnt got the chance to do it as it was out of stock everywhere except for online....after a while, this P8S pops up.
According to their website, the P8S has these over P8M. HDR10+, a bezel-less design, Wide colour gamut and Dolby Audio

p8s sold out yo at lazada store.

i like your comment , based on your personal experienced

3 pcs left....

This post has been edited by stasio: Jul 16 2020, 04:57 PM

Was looking at 55". I go shopee survey. Got any non Android TV below 2.5k?

https://www.senheng.com.my/tcl-55-inch-4k-u...tcaApp6EALw_wcB

RM650 cheaper....

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/new-arri...383,67213,75063

I just got myself a tcl 55 4k qled. It's the c715. It's an android TV... Its the best budget qled u can buy. Once u go qled u never go back normal led.

anyone interesting to take my TCL 50P8S? still have warranty.. bought around 1 year ago.
thinking to upgrade to 4k/120hz TV.. haha

So what's the general consensus on the best TCL 4K tv for movies & games that we can buy here in Malaysia? I was eyeing on the famous 6 Series/R635 but I don't think it's available in Malaysia. The branding is also quite confusing with names like C716, P8M, P716, etc. So which is the best in terms of picture quality if price isn't a factor?

If price isn't a factor why TCL ?

Their best feature is the affordable price tag .

By that, I meant that price isn't a factor between the TCL products. From what I can see, the price difference between all the 4K 55" option are only RM200~500. I guess my main question was which one is the most top of the line for TCL.

This post has been edited by nemesis94: Nov 21 2020, 04:26 PM

I am going for this tcl 55P615 for RM 1700.
https://shopee.com.my/product/164013298/501...94-1607661527.9

What do you think?

For all TCL TV owners....models:

EP6, P8, P8M, P8S, P615, P715, C716,....

Additionally check (to be sure) in Setting>Device Preference>About>Product information should be as this:

V8-R851T02-LF1Vxxx.xxxxx

My suggestion is to update to latest firmware (software) LF1V609.017843....more info here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5046142/+60

So far the best firmware for TCL models 2019/2020 year.

Edit:
P615 is replacement for P8M and
P715 is replacement for P8S

This post has been edited by stasio: Dec 17 2020, 10:24 PM

What's the difference actually between the C716 & P8S? Why is tje price difference so big

1 qled 1 led

with hdr10+
