Should upgrade firmware to 620? TV come with 606.
Can’t find the way to the service menu... folllow the option posted before, but it look different.
Some time saw two firmware as and eu, we should take as version right?

In the Picture setting/ Advanced/ Brightness menu, choose "Contrast" and at this point type:
1950 - General Service Menu (Design Menu)
9735 or 6428 - Subsection Factory Menu
9705 - Subsection Service Menu

Apple TV+ is now available on Google TV......

https://blog.google/products/google-tv/appl...-now-available/

Seems we will soon get Apple TV app, including Apple TV+.

"In addition to Chromecast with Google TV, the Apple TV app will also be available on Google TVs from Sony and TCL. We plan to roll out to more Android TV-powered devices in the coming months."

Btw,
yesterday released...Chromecast Built-in (Android TV) 1.52.246969 and today Apple TV (Android TV) 1.0 (4).

https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_re...k&s=Android+TV+

Tried, but need (I think) new UI interface..... hmm.gif

Edit:

New Google Play Store (Android TV) v24.1.35-21 [8] just installed also.

What they meant is that for now the app is only available officially for new devices with Google TV.
Ex; Chromecast with Google TV, the upcoming new Sony TV & TCL TV with Google TV.

Currently, the app can be sideload to Android TV devices but only ads/trailer are playable not the content.
*
Which app you have installed...
Apple TV (Android TV) 1.0 (4) or Apple TV (Android TV) 2.1 (17) ?
Got one more...Apple TV (Fire TV variant) 5.1 (18) .

Anyone has issue playing HLG YouTube video?

You can see the sky was not displayed properly with weird artifacts...

Yea ,
me too in certain HLG video's (HDR10 is OK) with very bright white light (sky bright clouds ,very bright street light).
Maybe this weekend I will check older firmware if happen same.

Edit:
Seemse it happens only on the first playback. If stop and play the same video again, is off and on.....paused ,changed resolution and somehow is gone, but later appear again.
Luckily HLG is not that common.

As I understand from Shopee and Lazada browsing, TCL provide 2 years warranty for online, 3 years for direct buy from store.

All models that sold official in Malaysia.

This is for Hisense, not TCL.

QUOTE(smaelz83 @ Mar 4 2021, 08:08 PM)
Is it Android TV 10? Or is it still Android TV 9?

TCL skipping Android 10 and going to Android 11 (Google TV) end of this year.

I bought a TCL C716 Qled 55 about two week ago from Shopee (Pahang Seller).

I have noticed that the top of the TV screen is slightly curve when view from the top of the TV (look like a curved TV from few year back) but I am wondering if this is the design of the TV (to lessen the viewing angle issue) or it is manufacturing defect? In fact, The top center of the TV screen is slightly dented inward when view from the side (very close to the TV).

Wonder you can provide screen shot from the top of your TV for me to compare?
Use some kind of leash, tin rope,thicker sewing thread and
tense from side to side bottom.middle and top.
So you will see gap or not.
Any deformation in picture quality,because this?

New owner of C716 reporting in 😀
My previous tv is a 40" FHD dumb tv, so this is mind blowing exp for me.

Just want to ask sifus here.. i tried to play 4k clips from youtube (i searched '4k 60fps') Why sometimes it plays smoothly then it judders? Does it related to my internet? (Using maxis 30MBps fibre).

For warranty do i need to post back the warranty card? Coz i bought it from shopee (the seller from Pahang)

I gues that you are on V3xx firmware ,which behave for 4k60 video in YouTube as you described.
To eliminate this, need to update to V606 and above. Check your "Network update" first.
If nothing, you will need update firmware manually by "Local update".
Just keep warranty card with you, for safety reason.

Edit:
Btw,
V606 should pop up ,as TCL already placed V620 on network (depend of country).

Mine is v606 already; and no new update coming from the "Network Update". I guess I'll need to try local update method.

Yea, I just checked and 4K60 videos from YouTube has been fixed from V609 and up.
