May I know what do you guys set for your picture settings especially on brightness and contrast settings in advanced settings of picture menu?
I've used Movie picture mode and playing with brightness and contrast settings. Either I get over exposure especially in brighter scenes that have sky/sunlight or too dark/less details in darker scenes like in latest Spider Man movie |

Saw this video before and tried the settings but didn't quite get brightness/contrast right. So was wondering what's the settings used by others

Yup so far brightness 20-30 and contrast 80-90 seems a good balance for SDR content
When you switch picture mode to Smart HDR and then switch back to Movie, will your custom Movie settings set back to default settings or your custom Movie settings remain? QUOTE(neuromancerx @ Apr 24 2022, 09:15 PM) i use 20 brightness for normal viewing, and switch to smart HDR when playing DV/HDR content. |

Yup saw that setting but what does source mean? HDMI 1 vs HDMI 2 or apps 1 vs apps 2?
QUOTE(neuromancerx @ Apr 24 2022, 09:42 PM) Should be maintained the previous settings. Also there is an option when you made the pictures changes whether to apply to current source or for all sources. |

My C725 also set with US English but Gboard cannot be enabled
QUOTE(Packer @ May 5 2022, 10:32 PM) I know what’s the reason I can’t accesss to gboard. You need to select US English in order to access to gboard. Previous I was using UK English. |

Gboard and virtual keyboard doesn't work for my C725 since I bought it and updated with firmware V418. Anyway, not a huge problem as I can use MagiConnect virtual keyboard for typing.
Didn't try latest IMG firmware as lazy to reinstall and setup all the apps again. V418 is a bit laggy but learn to live with it (quick start enabled) QUOTE(stasio @ May 6 2022, 09:50 PM) As I posted earlier, strange only Malaysia users has complain, one is already settle. now you....hehe. Stady setting more.... |

Today, tried switching from US English to UK English and suddenly Gboard can be selected as Current Keyboard and Gboard Settings sub menu is available for config.
Not sure why it works this time compared to previous attempts as I've tried switching languages few times before and it didn't work. QUOTE(Packer @ May 7 2022, 05:53 PM) I have another TCL Qled C716 which is in US English and I changed to UK English to enable Gboard. Once Gboard enabled, I went back to US English. Now Gboard still enabled with US English. Look like not due to which version of English but by changing English version enables you to change to Gboard. Edit: Now with Gboard, I have enabled simplified chinese using Pinyin input. Finally can type Chinese using Pinyin in TV. |

Just updated my C725 with firmware V468. GTV much smoother compared to V418.
Gboard was not available for selection after I select English (US) during GTV setup process but after I change to English (England), Gboard is available again. No idea why Picture and sound settings are retained but apps all need to manually reinstall. I can see new apps Stan. and RakutenTV in the new firmware but can't be used in MY.

Does C725 comes with 2 different chipset, R51MT05 and R51MT02? R51MT05 has V468 firmware and R51MT02 now has V309?

When I turn on Dolby Audio in iQiyi VIP while watching a drama series, the audio came out softer than without turning on Dolby Audio. Is this the normal behavior for default TV speaker?

Do you have to do this every time you watch a movie/dreams with low volume?
This passthrough is Digital audio out setting or audio output setting? QUOTE(smaelz83 @ Jun 18 2022, 07:23 AM) I think I have figured out how to get high volume when source is Dolby Audio in C716 with V715. First, I set audio to passthrough, when the TV channel or source has low audio, I changed it to Auto. Then audio become louder. I changed back to passthrough and audio remain louder. This happened when I watch terrestrial TV. |
