Hi there everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has compared the C645 55" (RM2000) with any new similarly priced TV models.
Do the new models (C655/55T7B or other models) have the same colour output as the old C645 or are they a lot better/accurate?
Because personally for me, I really didn't like the colours coming out from C645, even after messing around with the settings and whatnot.

For example, tried to watch LinusTechTips on Youtube and his skin just looked super red/orange, compared to watching on any other screen I had.
Dolby Vision via Netflix looked great, just everything else that doesn't use it looked quite inaccurate imo

Ah, I didn’t think to check stuff other than 4K on the TV.
I was planning to hook it up to an Apple TV instead of using the built in software, not sure if that would have made a difference or not.

Thanks for your feedback tho

Hi guys, TCL C655 55 inch for RM1569, worth it or should top up a bit more?

Legit seller with a lot of good reviews.

Add the RM700 + RM120 from Shopee to get that low price.
Just wondering if I topup a bit more can get a better TV or if this is the best already hehe

I do believe it's mainly just a subwoofer addition at the back. Other than that, should be the same.
Oh and the lack of AMD FreeSync, but there still is VRR so shouldn't be an issue.

Also I contacted TCL on Shopee to ask them what's different between T7B and C655. All they said was T7B is QLED, C655 is QLED PRO with subwoofer.

lmao and my TV is otw here already. Should I return it then?

From the reviews I've seen and trying it in store. They look to be okay.
Still waiting mine to come from Shopee before finally deciding tho hehe

So far been using TCL C655 that I bought for RM1569 on Shopee. Don't forget to update the TV when you get it.
Just changed some settings for Movie mode following RTINGS, then adjusted contrast to my liking and TV looks great. Doesn't have the weird super red colour on the previous model.
The speaker is just okay, maybe the extra cash can be used for a soundbar/speakers but for me it's good enough.
The fake 120Hz mode is also just okay, it feels a bit smoother but can't beat a true native 120Hz TV.
It has Google TV running Android, so can install any apps or sideload. It's not laggy but it takes a bit of time responding to your button inputs sometimes.
I'll not be using it most of the time and instead be using an Apple TV for most of my streaming apps.

Overall, for the price, I feel like this TV is a good buy. Got 2 years warranty and even if this TV only lasts for 2-3 years, I'm okay with it as can just buy another one for the price.

It should still be in the warranty period right? Hopefully can claim it no problem

You must be sitting somewhat directly in front of the front of the TV.
The viewing angles are not the best for anyone sitting at the sides.

Based off what their official Shopee said last time, T7B is QLED, C655 is QLED PRO with subwoofer.

Also not sure how many inches you're looking for. But 55 C655 you can get as cheap as 1.6k sometimes.

Where I bought it from (Shopee)

For me, performance is good enough. But that’s only because I use 1 streaming app on it. I’ve disabled every other app and mainly use my Apple TV attached to it.

Startup is slow, but waking up from sleep is fast like other TVs.

So, some long-term update ~9 months in.
My 55-inch TCL C655 has been great so far. Software wise I felt it was slow, so I mainly used my Apple TV for this. Booting up and even trying to switch HDMI devices using the Quick Panel also took some time for the panel to open up. I've disabled almost every built-in app fyi, only have Stremio installed. It worked so I can't complain much there, considering the price I paid.

This was all until the new update (idk when it was released, I assume last month ish) V8-0013T02-LF1V113.000633, and suddenly my TV has gotten a performance boost. The updated Quick Panel is fast, TV feels smoother and even booting up is quicker now. They've even added support for Apple Airplay 2 and HomeKit settings. Setting it up was quick and I'm now able to change HDMI inputs on my Home app or turn it on and off.
While I'll still be using Apple TV as my main way of interacting with the TV, but I appreciate these QoL updates provided
