I installed Windscribe and NordVPN to watch Disney+. It required TV to use Wifi instead of LAN for VPN to connect.

I have this (in picture) issue for my 50 C716 TV. It's very visible when background colour is grey or dark grey. It's look like dirty/smudge.

Can someone help point out what is the problem? I already email to TCL about this but no reply yet.

Thanks for replying.

My latest firmware updated through network V395.

I have played monitor color test, it's really visible on dark grey or grey.

Yes, I did today. I hope to hear from them since they not responded to my last email about warranty.

OK.
Try again updated through network, V606 supose to be there.
I manually (local update) updated to V616.
*
Update to V606, the defect still visible. I think my unit has hardware issue.

I thought V606 has enable Dolby Atmos on Netflix. But still no Dolby Atmos icon.

I have the same issue as smaelz83
I bought TCL 716 50' 2 months ago, there is no defect when I received the unit. But now have this issue  rclxub.gif
Not sure whether is a firmware issue or not, tried v616 but still the same...
I will try to contact TCL these few days
*
I thought I am the only one having this issue.

I have contacted V Commerce through WhatsApp number they gave me. They informed me that factory itself will contact me soon. But I don't when.

Which firmware the best for you? The latest 1 ok?

If you have sound bar or AV system, better use official version 606.

Last time I updated use 609 and 616, tv sound passthrough has problems.

Alhamdulillah, my tv has been fixed (technician came on Monday, returned to me today). Panel issue. They replaced the whole panel.

When asked the technician, he said that this issue is rare.

Please get QLED as the picture is very awesome, especially when content has HDR+ or Dolby Vision.

He had to send the TV back to them ar for this?  I think nvm la, very hard to convince my wife already.

On a good note, my wife might allow me to increase budget to buy the Sony X9000h but a lot of physical shops no stock.

Anyway no fate for me but good that others are able to enjoy it! At this price point, nothing beats it for the specs you get.
*
There is whatsapp number 012-9708123 on TCL Malaysia Service Page.

Use that number to claim warranty.

I have issue after two months using 50inch C716. See my post.

I am glad their response is fast after send picture and purchase details.

BOLD Part: TCL technician come and collect the tv, factory at Port Klang replace the panel. Technician send the TV back at my place. Turn ON and confirm that everything is good. 3 days total (2 1/2 days without TV)

Hi all Sifu,
Few question to ask,
1. What is your current setting on your C716 TV, I am using Smart HDR most of the time.
2. Can some Sifu here share the website where to read more about the TCL TV Firmware, my out the box is V606 but when I do OTA upgrade, it always says I have the latest firmware already.
3. Did any Sifu here installed Movie HD apk? and how to get it to work on Android TV?
4. How to enable Dolby ATMOS on C716? So far never see it on all the content I watch on Youtube or Netflix. I did try to watch Dolby content on Youtube but the ATMOS LOGO on-screen never pop up....

Thanks in advance.
*
1. I use recommended setting as guide by rtings.com for TCL TV which is Movie mode
2. V606 is latest official firmware as stated in https://tclnordic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/arti...tware-downloads
3. To sideload non playstore app, you have to download app call Downloader by AFTVnews or Send file to TV, enable app can install in Setting>Security.

user posted image

3.1 I use Downloader to search, download and install app. Then I install Aptoide TV to install app that suitable for Android TV, such as Disney+ and XCIPTV Player.
4. If you don't have Dolby ATMOS compatible AV or sound bar, you can't experience the sound. However, app on TV as for now, only Prime Video, Jack Ryan, Episode 1 will deliver Dolby ATMOS.
4.1 If you want to see the ATMOS logo, you can download and play ATMOS file using TV media player. https://we.tl/jxvi4Pgwz9
4.2 I bought local Dolby ATMOS 5.1.2 sound bar made by A&S during 11.11 sale and I bought new Chromecast with Google TV which can play Netflix with Dolby Vision & Dolby ATMOS (selected titles) even I'm using 10Mbps Unifi Lite.

use ARC HDMI on TV to ARC HDMI on sound bar (if available).

Open TV setting, the button on TCL remote. Select System>T-Link, switch ON.
Or, Android setting>Input>HDMI CEC, select ON.

Your connection is correct for optical. Since your sound bar doesn't have ARC port.

Advantage of using ARC is you can use tv remote to control sound bar volume and ON/OFF sound bar.

Oh lord.

This thread couldn't have popped up in my radar at the most... Timing.

So here I am asking the sifys and owners for immediate (ASAP) clarification.

I have posted a thread in this forum about me getting a 65" TV here.

I have finalised with a heavy heart to go for Samsung 65TU8500 (2+3 years warranty) @ RM 4300.

Gonna make purchase in the morning.

Now I came across this thread that puts a dent.

Can someone let me know if I am making the right decision or not.
*
It really depends on you. Samsung with 5 years warranty with that price is good. TCL only offer 2 years warranty.

Only drawback of using Samsung is the software. That's my opinion.

thanks for this...

ive read that for TCL warranty they do on site... for all models or selected models only?

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.

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

I am on V606 and not experienced any issue for YouTube 4k60 fps, Costa Rica video.

But since I am on Unifi Lite, 10Mbps video will pause before resume.
