How slow is the UI, espescially when navigating Android TV. I saw the reviews mentioned sluggishness as a con.

I tried Sony x7500h & Panasonic hx655 which is in the same price range and all is within what I consider snappy.

I also tried Hisense A7400f which has a much lower price than others and I consider the Android TV experience very sluggish.

So if someone can compare against that, it would be great.

As a sidenote, looks like sellers are selling the 50in model for 2.5k now... sad.gif

Yea, 50" go up a few days ago, I still catch for RM2199.
Seems seller smelling good and fast profit.

Reviews done earlier has been probably with V2xx firmware and slow and sluggish UI.
Now is in V3xx range and much better.

12.12 Sony 49" X75H will be RM2399 (but no Dolby Vision/Atmos,HDR10+)

That's great to hear. If you don't mind recording the navigation of UI that would be awesome. I can not find this model anywhere in store.

If this is 2k, i think it will edge others for me since it seems to have the best feature on the market within the price range.(maybe Samsung TU8500 can be contender as well but that is not Android TV)

Although one thing on my mind is even though in the US this brand seems to have good reputation, here I am not sure if the service/quality is up to standard.

You can found on YouTube reviews 1 or 2 months old with new firmware.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=TCL+C715

Same model in Europe and Australia is very well accepted.
In USA closest (similar) model is S535 QLED.

serious question bro, hows the C716 after owning it awhile now?
hows the black contrast when watching dark scene movies? hows the android UI performance response time? hows the response time after let's say click netflix then the movies starts to play?
seems hardly can get a real details spec of this tv. spec shows brightness around 330 nits
dilemma of choosing samsung/sony/tcl
*
Seems you didn't read my previous posts. sad.gif
I have been one step from buying Hisense 50A7400F,
but give up seeing bleeding in they screens from many users.
Most real detailed spec you can found:
https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/be9e1ef9

Of course Sony and Samsung is better, but didn't match my criteria for allocated budget (~RM2K ,up to 50").
Samsung 50TU8500 no Android, no Dolby Vision (330 nits same)
Sony 49X75H no Dolby Vision/HDR10+ (340 nits)
Sony 49X80H IPS panel, no HDR10+,over budget (500 nits)

I don't want to repeat same thing again, but as you ask about black contrast,bellows are same pic I made today
(in a dark room).

thx for your reply, looks very nice bro all the pic! for the price range really very good.
so hows your comment about it? the android UI got feel sluggish?
*
As stated earlier...version with older firmware V2xx and early V3xx, yes a bit.
I got TV with V356 and no sluggish.
Tried many version V378,V379,V395 and end up with V606 (experimental).
Many versions are on the net ,just download and try.Have 2 basic ,one is IMG and other is OTA.
IMG version flash everything (good if you brick TV !) and OTA which keep your apps and setting.
Can flash up and down.
UI is fast and have no problem.This month TCL supose to upgrade to Android 10.

This is my UI screen..

Bro.how do u update?download this files then just plug in USB?
*
Download OTA zip file (1.3GB) and copy untouch zip file on empty USB (FAT32).
Insert USB on TV (any port), msg will pop up...do nothing or cancel.
Go to Setting>Device Preference>About>System Update>Local Update and follow instruction.
File will be verified first then you can install.
No any apps or setting will be lost during this update.

Btw,

V609 is the best firmware so far..... nod.gif

This week, I received professional picture calibration setting for my TV.
These settings should apply to most types of Picture Mode, except for gaming or use as a PC monitor.
I have not tried to set yet.

Settings made with:
- SpectraCal C6 HDR2000
- Calman Pro
- VideoForge Pro

Anybody interested, PM for copy of it.
