The brand TCL is unfamiliar to me and the pricing is very attractive.
So owners how do you like your TCL?

Recently bought TCL 55E5900 inch. So far satisfied with the picture quality. With dedicated remote button for netflix and you tube. Need some adjusting if your previous TV is non smart. Digital TV ready so no need to buy digibox. 4K with 64 bit processing and with USB 3.0 slot and optical out. Cons is that no PC input for RGB, HDMI only. Cost is 29k.ilan hdmi nito chief?

On Amazon the top 20 brands for LED TVs are TCL, Sony & Samsung.
The brand TCL is unfamiliar to me and the pricing is very attractive.
So owners how do you like your TCL?
It's a pretty common brand in the Caribbean when I was there. They tend to crush blacks quite a bit out of the box and have very simple image controls (at least the ones that I've tinkered with). The image quality is generally quite decent though, especially given the price point.
They make TVs and sell them under better-known brands too (especially in the US market).

I badly need some options kung bibili nalang ako ng bago kung swak naman sa budget or ipagawa ko nalang kc sayang nman kung naka display lang pero sira nman at di na magamit..

need mo na sir bumili ng bago. 70% to 80% ang cost mo nyan sa orig price. para ka rin bumili ng bago. it happened to me when my son accidentally thrown his toy on my TV.. pag broken panel kalasin mo nalang ang TV at ibenta sa electronic shop ang pwede ibenta.

Got my 5 month old TCL tv replaced with new one. Good thing the box was still intact. There were a lot of replacement for TCL tv. The first batch has 4 units, the second batch 11 units. Good thing TCL replaced the defective units. The unit itself is okay. It is in the wifi that has a problem. According to the technician, motherboard problem. Need to input the password everytime I turn on the tv. Also reboots intermittently if using wifi.
Bakit kelangan may box para ma replaced?

Post by: jerix on May 26, 2017 at 12:16 PM
For regular local tv broadcast, I always opt for the NORMAL view because its too big i think. Dapat talaga mas maliit maybe the 43 should have been better considering my viewing distance. Now may I ask, kung sa NORMAL view ba with black bars on both sides, mas matipid ba sa kuryente as compared to the full size which covers the entire 49"?

heads up, para sa mga nagaakala na yung highly rated TCL p607 abroad is the same as p2 series sa pinas ay magkaiba pala, p607 is FALD (full array local dimming) and p2 is edge lit, nagtaka din ako yung chinek ko sa appliance center yung p2, its so dim, i checked tcl philippines, p2 pla is only rated below 300nits, as opposed to p607 na can reach 700nits according s reviews and in avg can sustain 450nits. bang for buck sana tong tcl if same lng sila. oh well
The C807 in the US is the same as the C2 here, except they have Roku TV and Dolby Vision support over there and we get Android TV and just HDR10 over here.
The P2 here is actually the S405 in the US. We don't get the equivalent of the P607, unfortunately.

After auditioning the 65 p2, lg 6320 and samsung 6001, the tcl can actually beat these two squarely in terms of video quality, using only ordinary movie files with a resolution lower than 480p via a direct usb connection. The artifacts on the lg and samsung are more obvious than in TCL despite continued tweaking done by the sales guy. The movie file inTCL is more watchable for me.HDR capable na ba ito Sir? Tia!

Bro hdr ready only through usb. Get ur content in usb and directly plug it in its usb slot. I intentionally used the less than 480p files to test their upscalng capability. Notice the difference between the three. I tried to plug my usb on the sony x8500 but the tv wont read it.http://www.tclphilippines.com/65p2/

Not capable of HDR
"QUHD is a marketing catch-all for TCL's use of a quantum dot LCD panel (which has a wider colour gamut than a regular LCD), local dimming from the edge-lit LEDs (which boosts contrast in specific screen areas) and HDR (which is that excellent next-generation picture quality standard). These are the specs you'd normally only find on the higher end panels of Samsung and Sony and LG LED-backlit LCD TVs, but there's also a catch: the C1 doesn't support HDR, a feature restricted to the as-yet-unreleased X1."

Here's a timeline of my experience with them so far:
November 20 - reported problem to their hotline, hotline promised a visit from a technician in 3 to 5 days
November 24 - followed up with hotline since it's technically the 5th day already, hotline informed me that visit would be on November 28 and that I would receive a text from the technician when he's on his way
November 28 - nothing, nada
November 29 1:45 PM - called hotline again to follow up, hotline says visit is scheduled for December 1 (no one contacted me about this)
November 29 3:15 PM - got a text from the technician that he's on his way to my house already, I told him that I am not available since I was not given notice at all for this visit
November 29 4:00 PM - got a text from the technician saying he's outside my house and no one's answering the door (malamang, that's exactly what I told him previously)
Long story short, ang gulo nila kausap. I'm really glad that I only have a minor issue with the TV. If it was anything major, this would've have been even more frustrating than it already is.

Thanks for the heads up! I was also eyeing the C2 series of TCL. It has good reviews and features such as:
-Android OS -- GUI almost the same as Mi Box
-Built in Chromecast
-HDR PRO- I just dunno if this is really HDR
-Harman Kardon Speakers
-Cheaper than mainstream brands with the same features
How's the performance and PQ of the TV?
Sayang pangit aftersales....(http://www.symbianize.com/images/smilies/new/dontknow.gif)

Performance is pretty much how Rtings described it. Good contrast, bad viewing angles, some backlight bleeding, very wide color gamut. I've had to adjust gamma values for some HDR games since the default HDR settings sort of washes out the colors.
Update on the aftersales: technician dropped by last Friday and confirmed the single bright pixel. He recommended that the TV be replaced (since it's less than 2 months old) so I'll wait and see if the head office approved the request.

Status update: someone from TCL called me today to inform me that the request for unit replacement has been approved. They'll get in touch with me for the delivery schedule of the new unit. 1 bright/dead pixel out of 8M+ is apparently enough to have your unit replaced. :D

Received the new unit today. It was a complete, brand new retail package. TCL just sends out their replacement units and retrieves the old units through Transportify, which explains why the call center/central office had no clue what the status of delivery was when I made a follow up early this afternoon.

The viewing angles just plain awful.
It’s like my bubble burst. Tcl is being an ass. This is the 2018 models for south east Asia and Pakistan. Same model name na P6 but totally different specs between US and us poor countries. Pero same price.

yes I thought so too. I was floored by the reviews sa US tapos upon actual inspection sa ansons nakita ko yung difference. Buti hindi ko binili sa OLX sellers otherwise idedeliver nila without me even testing it.

After 2 of my tvs conked out. Ayaw ko na din gumastos. Parang disposable ito mga tvs. Very interested tuloy sa tcl hehe.

I forgot to mention that the 2sammy tvs we owned, 1 died and had to be revived (but in a not 100%quality anymore) while the other one is now showing burnouts. :) both are less than 3 years old if i am not mistaken. Kung tatagal tv ko ng mga ganung edad ok na siguro. Pero 2 years naman warranty and based naman dito responsive naman ang customer support. :)

TCL 55P6 = P28,500
TCL 55C2 w/ Harman Kardon speakers = P38,500
Leaning towards the 55C2 actually.
Anybody have this TV? Would your recommend it or would your rather spend more to get the "better" brands.

well, like it's mentioned above iba talaga ang TCL models na nasa US vs yung binibigay sa atin. Same ang exterior but the interior is far inferior.
sa akin that's borderline deception.
and the OS na nasa pinas and the quality of the product dito compared sa US is way different. It was easy to decide not to buy it.
Pero before I knew I was so ready to buy it, even sight unseen.

Yung gumawa ng LED TV ko (not connected to any brand). Karamihan daw ng sirang TV eh yung TCL brand.
Agree, ung TCL 55 D2700 ng 2 kids ko nasira after approx 1 year (kid's shows lang palabas) hindi pa ganon kagamit since LG naman main TV sa sala.
Buti nalang 2 yrs warranty, pero ung model na un phased out na, we ended up replacing it with a 55" Samsung curved TV, additional 11k nabayaran namin.

Bought one on sale for 6,999 and broke after 6 months of just weekend use! Literally, from Friday afternoon, Saturday, and until Sunday afternoon.
And the worst part, repair costs goes up to 10,500 for parts and labor. TCL seems to think that people are stupid.
I'll never buy any product of this brand ever again. Never.

was browsing at a store in alabang, TCL rep asked me to look at their TCL demo. During demo (P6), the rep is saying that TCL is becoming a well known brand, and saying at par na yung P6 with other brands like samsung, sony etc. I asked her if I can play a movie from my usb, we played the opening sequence of Quantum of Solace (car chase scene), initially the TV was stretched, i asked her to make it letterboxed, she had to reset settings from demo.Lol "mag Sony na lang kayo,"

Anyway, a couple of noobie questions(I'm not that knowledgeable about LED TVs).
- The HDMI 2.0 option is turned off by default. Do I need to turn this on for the 4k functionality? I have a 4k chromecast so I want to make sure that Im getting 4k when streaming.
- The TV is supposed to be digital ready but I'm not getting any channels when I try auto scanning...Is there something I need to do? Do I need to install an antenna?(we live in Valenzuela so it's still part of metro manila).
Thanks to anyone who will answer.
Crossing my fingers that I did not get a lemon unit and that my new TV will last as long as my previous one.

Yes, you need to turn on HDMI 2.0. You also need to use HDMI 2.0 cable ha. And 4k source like Apple TV 4k.
You need to buy a digital antenna, or if you have a spare TV Plus, you can use that antenna. May mga ISDB-T antenna sa Ace Hardware for less than PhP 500.
Anong model ng TCL mo? I am wondering kung bakit 28k sya for a 43" UHD HDR TV.

Sirain talaga yang TCL, ung TCL TV ng mga kids ko on weekdays late afternoon lang ginagamit for approx 2hrs & on weekends morning & afternoon. Isang taon lang sira na ung panel.

Enjoy mo nalang ung TV mo Sir, nag-alala ka pa tuloy.. Hopefully tatagal yang TV mo.
Sa case namin, nakawall-mount ung TCL Tv sa kid's room it could be that ung air-flow ang reason since halos dikit na sya sa wall baka nagiinit na ung likod, but then again hindi ganun katagal ang gamit. Magkaiba naman tayo ng model "Baka" mas tatagal ung sayo keysa sa TCL 55 D2700 ng kids ko... Hirap pa naman proseso ng warranty na paltan ng ibang brand.

Here are my feedback/observations:
Picture Quality is great. I am not an expert, and I haven't bought any HDMI 2.0 cables yet for my PS4 Pro. I have yet to upgrade to Apple TV 4K. So my only true gauge is the native Netflix app and the UHD shows there like The Haunting on Hill House. It looks gorgeus on 4K HDR.
Only 2 HDMI ports, and
The analog input is 3.5mm but it comes with a free3.5mm to RCA adapter.
There is no analog out, but there is optical out and bluetooth. And since I connect via analog to my Creative 2.1 speakers, I had to buy a DAC.
Speaking of audio out, the only choices are Auto and PCM. I have no idea what Auto is, because PCM is the only other option. My HISENSE TV has PCM, DD, and DLP.
Built-in speakers sound terrible. I have a Toshiba LED TV, a HISENSE LED TV, and a Panasonic Viera Plasma TV. They all sound decent. TCL sounds really bad. You will want to output the audio to external speakers.
GUI looks like crap and there's no way to even slightly personalize it. There are so many built-in and installable apps but they are all useless (except for Netflix and YouTube). PBA apps and CNN apps have not been updated in a year.
The only choice for country in the setup is Philippines, as all the other choices are non-English speaking countries.
The remote control looks terrible. It is thinner and longer than usual. Button layout is unintuitive. There is a Netflix button but no YouTube button.
So in summary, it lacks a lot of features, apps are crap, but picture quality is great and the price is unbeatable. I wish TCL just skipped on the "Smart" TV functionalities and just added features like
Post by: oaba09 on Oct 24, 2018 at 11:04 PM
^does it have the PBA app?
Yup....I believe eto yung local version....the "US" is just part of the model #....hindi din roku yung OS nito(linux).......So far ok naman...napagana ko na yung HDR sa PS4 ko(wala pang ps4 pro so no 4k).......nakukulangan lang ako sa HDMI ports so I might need to buy an HDMI switcher....any suggestions regarding sa magandang brand ng HDMI switcher?

Last Saturday, I bought a TCL 43P6 4K HDR for bedroom use. I bought it at Anson's for PhP 21,500.00.

Only 2 HDMI ports, and as far as I can tell, neither is ARC-capable. So if you're planning to connect this to an ARC-capable AV receiver, this is not the TV for you. My HISENSE TV has ARC which outputs to my ARC receiver.

I think we purchased the same model.......damn, if I knew na 21500 lang sya sa ansons, sana dun nalang ako bumili.....I checked online(lazada) and it looks like ang normal price range ng 43P6US is around 25-28K.......Original price nung sa akin 28,000 but I was able to haggle and bring it down to 26,000...akala ko nakamura na ako sa landers...

My uncle needed a 40in TV and a washing machine for his condo. I pretty much got the TV for around 14K lang so kinuha ko na din despite the bad reviews for the brand.
So far ok naman. Im a newbie to smart TV so nangangapa pa.
Will need tips on how to sideload apps on this as the built in app store only has crappy apps.
Anyone knows how to enable debugging?
Can someone share their picture settings as well please?

Ang gusto ko sana matanggal yung mga youtube trending videos link sa home screen, minsan kasi mga jologs na stuff lumalabas, mahirap kung may bata sa bahay, although it is not logged in to a youtube account. Overall ok naman yung tv. May dedicated netflix button sa remote. and pressing it, can also turn the tv on and take you directly to your netflix page.
Yung mga built-in apps na iba crappy, netflix lang ginagamit ko dyan. Cannot even install spotify or other online streaming applications.

the tv plus with hdmi output. Picture quality is good, slick design cya so maganda tingnan, naka wall mount ito ngayon at may kasama na pala cyang wall mount bracket. No bluetooth function, sometimes napuputol yung wifi connection nya, when watching Youtube, pero sa Netflix tuloy-tuloy naman, hindi ko alam kung bakit. Overall impression maganda cya for the price.

Meron ba HDMI 2.0a yung mga tcl tv ngayon? Yung 55p2us ko kasi, HDMI 2.0 pa lang, so walang HDR input. (And wala rin HDR netflix)
I don't know if my TCL556us have it, naka-wall mount na kasi, pero I can watch HDR contents from Netflix. If I use HDR movie files, it shows HDR on the screen and I am using hdmi 2.0 cable only.

Ok netflix HDR is better than my 55p2US which can only do UHD (no HDR).
Thank you. :)

Writing in just to ask for your suggestions and inputs.
I'm planning to buy a brand new TV this coming week. I have narrowed it down with TCL and Samsung panels.
I'm having a hard time to choose which TCL panel I'll get as the reviews in the internet are all different model number. I want the TCL S517 model, which counterpart model is it in our market?
My budget is 20k-40k, I've narrowed it down between
Samsung RU7100 and Samsung NU7090
vs.
TCL A8US, TCL C6US, P5US, PS61US, and P8S
Tried searching the web for TCL panels reviews but with no avail, all reviews are only available for US? market model number. Which is quite confusing as there are no equivalent model with those reviews that are available in the PH.
Mainly for movies and PS4 Pro
Thank you in advance!
Cheers!

Nagmamadali ka ba bumili? Maglalabasan na kasi mga sale this weekend. ;D
I'm sure you can get a really good tv for 40k.
My general rules of thumb for choosing a tv would be:
• dapat may HDR
• the bigger the screen, the betterer
• get the highest nits rating that you can
• do NOT get anything less than 2 year warranty
• must support apps (android tv is best)
• must have game mode
• must have ISDB
• must have H265 support (HEVC)
• local dimming feature is definitely a plus
• ARC is also a plus
• always bring a USB dongle with your audition clips
If you don't mind a 55" (instead of a 65"), Sony TV's are also on sale within your budget.

Thank you sa input sir! Nagpost ako sa ibang TCL forum tipid** and totoo ba na chambahan yung panel sa TCL? Expected ko kasi same quality sa US brands yung mga TCL ntin, dahil kpag nagsearch ako sa net, US model ang lumalabas. Limit ko sa TCL and Samsung choices ko kasi yun nlng yung mga brand wala sa bahay para matry ba iba iba. Choice ko na yung Samsung kaso walang WCG. Thank you ulit sa reply and noted mga input nyo sir.

Mas modelo si P8, mas bago processor, mas mataas ang RAM, mas mataas contrast ratio, may local dimming na, HDR10+ (instead of HDR10), etc. Suggest ko kung sa TCL, kay P8 ka na.

I offered ₱35k in cash and they said yes; result: impulse buy.

If you can get the P8S under ₱40k then that's probably a good deal. Above ₱45k may mean you might want to wait until after December for the clearance sales.

The P8S is more expensive because it has Wide Color Gamut and supports Dolby Vision. Is the extra ₱10+k premium justified by these 2 features is debatable.Sadly it does not support Dolby Vision, only Dolby Audio and HDR10+

The P8S has an even better panel than the A8US I bought, but being priced over ₱40k is above my impulse-buy threshold. ;D

Anyways, I have been floored by the PQ of my 65 A8US, colors are actually better than my old plasma, it's only in the blacks where I feel the plasma has the edge. No stuttering as well on 4k using YouTube, which I occasionally got on older my 55" 4ktv, which now looks like crap compared to this TV.

you'd think they'd have better panels because that's based on reviews from the US, but the local TCL's are given much inferior panels. Read up on this thread to know more.I would disagree.

I'm quite happy with my cheapo ₱35k 65 inch A8US. Absolute value for money. I auditioned this next to more expensive (₱40k+) models from LG, Samsung, Sharp, and Sony, the PQ on this model was actually better. Note that the Samsung and Sharp only had 1 year warranties too.
Perhaps the 2018 and earlier models were not as good.

Tried playing my BD ISO's using Kodi and it was definitely lagging. On my MiBox these wouldn't even load so fair play to the TV. Will try some of my 100Mbps 4K drone footage to see if I can crash the TV. ISO's run fine on my XBox and HTPC, of course.
Optical out can only do 2.0, either on "PCM" or "Auto" settings. Sent an email to their support team and will call their helpdesk on Monday to find a fix. This is a bummer since I was hoping to use just the TV and the avr (no consoles/media players/htpcs) to get surround sound on Netflix.
New discoveries:
Haven't been able to crash Android TV yet, which is good. I'll also check if I can root this TV.
Side loading apps was not a problem.
YouTube has been smooth, including 4k HDR 60fps clips.

I was able to try some 60Mbps 4k (60 fps) drone vids and the tv was still fine playing it. It turns out I don't have anything in a higher bitrate than that so I'll probably just find some online to test.
Here are a couple of the videos I checked to test out. You might want to try these out too.
Light bleed test: https://youtu.be/tPdLZ9g0l28
LG Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eT9PEHayVk
The A8 did very well on both. Every brightness gradient was visible and colors were consistent. I'd say PQ-wise, this TV is definitely pushing way above its SRP.

Sir Verbl Kint,
I am also considering to buy a either 65" or 55" TCL P8S. May I know your viewing distance from your 65" TV?
Thanks!
Post by: Verbl Kint on Dec 31, 2019 at 02:38 PM
Sir Verbl Kint,About 8-10 feet. For non-4k content, I honestly don't notice any difference at all between my 55" and 65".

4k seems a bit more clear on the 65" but even then you're splitting hairs. Distances further than 10ft will probably show more marked differences.

I am interested in the TCL 65A8US but would like to know if this is similar to the 8 series model thats available in the US. Also, is this model the same as the 65P8US?
The A8US and the P8US are basically the same. This model is called the P660 in the European market and P8M in others. This exact model isn't available in the US (the ones stateside are Roku TV powered) but the panel could very well be the same one used in the 4 series.

What's your budget? The 65 A8US and the 65 P8US are both about ₱36k these days and should suit your needs. The P8S is a higher model and is at ₱44k, but could well be cheaper in cash.
Post by: YaJ555 on Jan 08, 2020 at 03:03 PM
My budget is around 25-40k for a 55 or will stretch to a 65 given the prices Im seeing in the malls.
I demoed a 55A8US now and tinkered with calibration a bit, turning off all noise reduction and adjusting contrast and colors, micro dimming turned on and I was floored.
So, is the micro dimming the same as local dimming (zones) from other brands? because looking at the demo, it really improved the blacks (asked the salesman to play the Samsung 4k file they were looping on the other sets).
Post by: Verbl Kint on Jan 08, 2020 at 03:33 PM
The biggest advantage that the P8S has over the A8US/P8US is Wide Color Gamut (aka WCG) (http://"https://www.cnet.com/how-to/what-is-wide-color-gamut-wcg/"), but basically everything else is the same. WCG can potentially bring better colors than a standard TV panel. Now, is this worth the extra ₱4-₱5k increase in price for the 55"? I would leave that to the potential buyer to decide.
Micro dimming / local dimming is implemented differently per panel type and per brand. The A8US uses a dynamic backlight system to do it, also known as "frame dimming" in other brands (i.e. Sony).
+ + +
Considering your budget, though, I would recommend getting the 65 A8US. It may not have WCG, but it is a bigger panel. Extra cost here might well be delivery to your house as a 65" tv will not fit in a sedan or crossover. Possible extra cost as well will be to get a guy to mount it on your wall, where it deserves to be. :)
Happy hunting!

If you plan on getting a 55", I would suggest you also demo the TCL 55 P8S (around ₱28k cash at Anson's).
Sir, which Anson's offers P28K cash for 55P8S? The best offer I got was P31K cash @ Ansons Trinoma.

For that price, you might want to consider the Sony 55 X7007g as well. It also has WCG and micro dimming.

I was able to unbox only late last night. It is big and heavy.
Build quality is quite far from known brands. Built in speakers are weak and has a flat response. Color rendition is yet to be judged as I have not calibrated the design, and found the presets not to my liking.
UI/UX on this unit is not as intuitive/easy compared to my previous TV's. The only upside is the cost/size and AndroidTV.
Enabled the motion interpolation (soap opera look) thing, and the entire screen flickered like crazy. Disabling it returned the screen back to normal. Do your TCL units exhibit the same behavior (have read some post in other forums mentioning some similar experience to this)? I like how Samsung and Sony implement their interpolation, and usually have them enabled when viewing sports events.

Brightness
Color Saturation

I cannot find other settings for HDR, backlight etc. I cannot change from all source to current source either. just defaults to "All source".

Even if i do Picture reset i do not get any other option available. what am i missing?
Let me check when I get home. I usually go to the actual source (like HDMI 1) and then do the backlight settings there. I don't recall being able to make the settings universal.

Where in the settings can i find that? I haven't tinkered much with the settings. Just lowered brightness to 55. Can't find backlight settings either.
For my 65A8US, it is under Settings-Picture-Advanced Settings-Motion-LED Motion Clear. However, on my later research, this seems to refer to Black Frame Insertion or "LED Clear Motion" for Samsungs (hahaha, wordplay) so dim and flicker was expected.
I also do not have HDR settings, but it seems to be enabled by default for Netflix as the "HDR10" logo appears momentarily upon playback of HDR titles. I don't know if this is just a logo. Pressing "I" during playback only displays resolution, not the colorspace. Youtube app however seems not to display HDR. No logo appears, and checking Stats for Nerds show a bt709 colorspace instead of bt2020.
The only backlight-related settings I can find on my unit is Dynamic backlight and Micro dimming, both under Advanced Settings-Brightness Settings, on most picture presets except for Smart HDR.
HTH.

^Thank you sir. appreciate you taking time to share.
The Picture Presets is what i no longer see. I remember seeing it before. I do not have any external devices connected at the moment. I think that might be the reason why the option is not appearing. I'll try to connect something on HDMI.
Performed the picture reset and now it no longer defaults to "All Sources" i can select current source but does nothing. maybe because there's nothing else plugged in.
I do not get the HDR10 logo either which i was getting before on the 50P6US i had.

Native Android TV YouTube app seems not able to display HDR (BT2020). However, sideloading Smart YouTube TV app is able to trigger TV to display HDR10 logo, but am not sure it is really HDR10. Video looks "contrasty" though. :)

Can someone please post or message me their picture settings for A8US or P8M? I'm using it for my bedroom and i have no idea how to calibrate. Thanks guys!
There are youtube videos you can try out for calibrating your TV. Picture settings would differ for most users as room lighting and user preference has an impact.

Hingi lang po ng advise.
Hindi na maka detect ng internet mapa wifi or lan yung TCL 55A8US.
Ano po kayang pwedeng remedy?
Ang nakakapagtaka, nakaka panood pa rin ako ng Netflix.
Service center na po ba or factory reset ang gawin?
Thanks in advance.

Para sa akin worth it yung extra cost kasi ₱40k mahigit yan last xmas, yung p8m naman dating ₱36k

That's a really good deal. Specs are comparable to TV's 2X the price. Same panel as the Samsung QLEDs from last year, too, which is a bonus at this price level.

It's hard to trust displays at the store, just because the settings there are being cared for by people who are not as nerdy as us when it comes to AV gear. Some shops even display 720p files on 4k tv's. ::)
I would suggest you check out the specs sheets of the TV's that you liked and do a comparison on paper. And then go to a shop which will let you play with the settings to your heart's content (I really miss shops like SnS as these guys definitely help you out for stuff like this).
Note that the TCL QLEDs are, in fact, Samsung QLED panels. The TU8000 is a good entry-level TV but it is a basic VA panel and doesn't do wide color gamut. The TCL CV715 has a superior panel and will likely have better color calibration from the factory compared to Samsung entry-level panels that typically need a good calibration session to get the colors just right. It supports Dolby Vision and has a 2-year warranty as well.

Hi Verbl,
Thanks for your feedback. Actually I did get the 55C716 to be delivered tomorrow. The folks at Cash and Carry Makati were much more accommodating than the store I first visited. They were also very knowledgeable and was able to guide me on how to operate the unit.
The Samsung 1 year warranty was a bummer too. I asked if there is a program to extend the warranty but was told there is none...

Picture quality wise I can say it is very impressive. I mostly use the Movie picture reset since movies and Netflix ko lang naman ginagamit ung TV. The Smart HDR preset puts a copperish tint sa display so I dont use it much. Havent tried the other presets. First time ko mag ka TV na nakikita ung pores sa mukha lalo na pag UHD content lol.
I have not been able to test the sound much, hindi ko kase malakasan since I am just renting a room and nakakahiya sa mga kasama ko sa bahay. Will probably check pag ako lang sa bahay one of this days.
For now tago muna sya at di pa dumadating yung stand ko from Lazada.

https://support.tcl.com/vulnerabilities-found-in-tcl-android-tvs
Alert: Vulnerabilities found in TCL Android TVs
TCL was recently notified by an independent security researcher of two vulnerabilities in Android TV models. Once TCL received notification, the company quickly took steps to investigate, thoroughly test, develop patches, and implement a plan to send updates to resolve the matter. Updating devices and applications to enhance security is a regular occurrence in the technology industry, and these updates should be distributed to all affected Android TV models in the coming days.
TCL takes privacy and security very seriously, and particularly appreciates the vital role that independent researchers play in the technology ecosystem. We wish to thank the security researchers for bringing this matter to our attention as we work to advance the user experience. We are committed to bringing consumers secure and robust products, and we’re confident that we’re putting in place effective solutions for these devices.
FAQ
Who discovered these vulnerabilities
The discovery was made by two industry researchers @sickcodes and @johnjhacking.
Do these vulnerabilities apply to models sold in the USA or Canada?
CVE-2020-27403 is not an issue in product deployed in North America. However, select televisions sold in the USA and Canada are affected by CVE-2020-28055. We expect to resolve this in the coming days.
Are all TCL televisions affected?
TCL has deployed hundreds of models in North America and only a limited number are involved. The following models are impacted by CVE-2020-28055: 32S330, 40S330, 43S434, 50S434, 55S434, 65S434, and 75S434.
When was TCL made aware of these vulnerabilities?
The TCL lab was made aware of the discovery at 11:30am on October 27. Within hours, the issues had been verified and the security compliance team triggered the vulnerability management response process. The solution for CVE-2020-27403 began deployment on October 30 via APK upgrade. The TCL lab is working around the clock to test the solution for a system upgrade to address CVE-2020-28055 to complete the modification of directory permissions. Pending successful testing, it is expected that updates will start being distributed in the coming days.

I haven't run any scripts yet to try out if the open ports can be exploited as it's been very busy for us at work (budget season + prepping for the holiday online shopping season).
My preliminary findings tend to lean towards the conclusion that the older your android version is, the more vulnerable it could be. It does seem safe behind a router, though. I can imagine the safest way would likely be turning off wifi on the tv and using ethernet or powerline instead.
I haven't done another set of tests yet but I'm confident that your tv's are safe so long as your home network is safe.

First time TCL owner here. Niregaluhan kami ng 65P715 model. Anyone here uses the same model? May preferred settings ba kayo for Netflix? Will be using this as well for console gaming next year. Some issues I have read about this unit are one, hirap sila mag pair ng BT device in which I haven't tried yet then hirap din mag connect thru WiFi. Hoping di namin maencounter yung said issues. Hehe.
New model po yan at QLED na (it's an Abenson only model, btw), so far parang dalawa pa lang yata kayo dito ang meron niyan hehe. I would suggest using calibration videos in YouTube using the highest possible resolution (4k sana).
What I do know is that calibration straight out of the factory is already pretty good, you would just need to do a little tweak here and there depending on preference. Enjoy!

Thank you, Sir. Actually yung factory settings out of the box are very good. User friendly din yung navigation nya if gusto mo palitan picture mode. Try ko adjust lang ng konti para di ganun katingkad sa black scenes.

Hi guys, I'm scouting for a tv for my light ps5 gaming. Is C715 worth it compared to Samsung TU8000 series? Thank you for the inputs!Consider the C716 as well, it's slightly better than the Abenson exclusive C715.
The TU8000 series is an entry-level panel. The C715/716 is a Samsung QLED panel. That alone makes the TCL the better deal. Note as well that the Samsung only has a 1 year warranty.

the qled is better with the colors and the sound is much much better. mas buo ang tunog pag nasa table. wall mounted, the bass is diminished significantly.
what irks me is both models have bugs. when you optimize android it says "scaning". then if you use manual time and your internet disconnects, when you reconnect, wifi says "connected, no internet". you have to go back to automatic time to fix the issue.
also, qled could use more black details and the motion is not as smooth as samsung, lg or sony.
i would have gone hisense with the better picture quality but the commander wanted android. in hindisght, i should have just bought a new chromecast with the hisense.
having said that, i am still satisfied with the tcl qled.

If he issues a receipt that you could use for warranty claims, then you're good to go.

Thanks Ken. I am hoping it is just the fuse. Problem is that the TV is installed via wall so I won’t be able to see of there’s a blown fuse. Sigh

Post by: at_sunset_blvd on Mar 17, 2021 at 07:47 PM
Is there a fuse in this TV? Or if it conks out the whole power supply panel can be the culprit?
Chances are if there is no power= Power Supply or Fuse, there is power but no display= Panel.
it happen to my Samsung before no power & its the PSU, got it change around P4k coz no more warranty at that time. Yours is still under warranty? if yes then replacement would surely be free.

Apparently warranty is 2years so technically Yes Ken

1. Email copy of proof of purchase
2. Email copy of warranty card
3. Email picture of TV
4. Email video proof that TV not working
However, it will take 48-hours to “validate” re: submitted documents. TV was purchased from SM Appliance Center Dec. 16, 2019 so still under 2-year warranty.. Then TCL said after the 48-hours evaluation, they’ll send a technician to check the unit w/in 5-days
So, I called the Service Center directly here in Davao. Location is 5mins away by car. Tehy got the details, serial no. etc. And they’ll visit tomorrow. They confirmed that unit is still under warranty. However, for parts needed, may take 10-12days to be shipped to Davao from Manila as they do not have stocks of parts here. ABANGAN!

Update 03/25/2021
TCL Service Staff called that they will visit around 10:00AM today. Whole power supply and motherboard module was replaced. After about 15mins, we plugged it in and it is now OK and good as new. Good thing our unit is still covered with warranty until Dec. 2021

parang no guarantees pa din based dito

TCL is set to be the first to deliver the all-new Google TV OS, with older 2019 and 2020 TVs set to get an over the air update.
Late last year Google announced that their old Android TV was being rebranded with TCL set to be the first to deliver the update. The #2 global TV brand will start rolling out the upgrades in Europe and the USA and Australia later this year.
The Chinese manufacturer said that it plans to update its 2019 and 2020 lineup of Android TVs to Android 11 for TVs.
Google announced Android 11 for TVs last September, but TCL says that the new update is scheduled for Q3 2021 when Android 12 will be released.

Unit was bought at Waltermart, and should still be under the 2 year warranty. Couldn't find the thread re: repairs and warranty claims for some other owners. Can you suggest how to go about the claims and repair? Was trying to call the tech support numbers on the warranty certificate, but just get a busy tone.
I have some vague memory of a Waltermart sales person, mentioning claims to be done by bringing the unit back to them. However, would want to avoid the hassle of unmounting, boxing and delivering the unit to Waltermart, moreso that they will also pass the same unit to the service center.
Thanks.

I went to the TCL site, registered the TV and uploaded bitmaps of the receipt/warranty card requested. I also did file a service request, got an RMA ticket and was able to call the customer service using the landline (Globe and Smart cell numbers cant be contacted. Support agent was very courteous and was able to endorse my ticket to the service center. Call was quick and short because of the prior online service request made had all the pertinent data. 5-7 days wait for the service center/tech to call for home visit.
I hope the repair and warranty claim experience would be satisfactory. First time TCL user here.

So far we've gotten good customer service from them. Hope that gets a quick turnaround time to get fixed. Who knows, you might get a new model as a replacement if parts are not readily available ;)

@usbslave: did not check, and don't know how to get into the service menu to see hours used. medyo "high milage" ang average use ko since the lockdown, siguro around 12 hours of use per day. kung confirmed backlight issue, hindi siguro particular to this tcl tv model yung problema.

July 27 update: In my case, it took them more than 7 days (and additional follow-up mails and calls) to have a technician to arrive on site. The closest service center near me was already removed from accreditation, and they had to transfer to another one (Montas Electronics Service).
Not great news for me though. The tech readily confirmed that the units backlights were defective, but they do not do onsite repairs on TCL TV's of this size (?) :) In around 10 mins, all I had on hand was a service report with the initial diagnosis of a defective backlight (which I already knew from the onset), and a "failed to repair" tickbox marked. Repair resolution is blank.
Tech mentioned that this report will be sent to TCL, and mentioned this typically will entail replacement of the entire panel (or was it the entire TV set ? :)) which would take around 3 weeks, but delivered directly to my home.
So, in a nutshell, I am still neutral in terms of TCL aftersales/warranty service at this point in time. Will update this owners' thread when I get significant updates - hopefully soon.

August 2 update: Not so lucky with TCL customer service. After a week more from last home visit of TCL service tech, no movement until now. I had to call customer service to follow-up the status and disposition of my TV. Problems with service center not submitting diagnostic reports with TCL causing delays. Now, the RMA case is for approval for replacement of unit subject to availability of stocks. They say if approval granted, it would take 2-4 weeks to replace. :(
Only consolation is that replacement unit will be delivered to my doorstep - thus not needing to go to the stores to bring defective unit and claim replacement. Good thing my old 49MU6103 is around and working.
Post by: demjoe1 on Aug 03, 2021 at 03:16 PM
that was when I was told by the tech to come really close about 6-8in to the screen and you will then see horizontal hairline thin lines probably rows of pixels losing colors. so they are what appeared to be the flickering when viewed from a distance as they were present top to bottom but only on the left half of the screen.
diagnosis, panel issue. tech said that panel replacement was the likely action to be done. but i insisted to note it in his report that i preferred unit replacement as this was a major part of the item that you do not normally replace. this is the reason i have this unit in the first place, my lg uh6500 panel went bust at 26months.
i'm still awaiting the final resolution from tcl customer service. will provide the update as it becomes available.

August 10 update: TCL support ([email protected]) called and informed me that the replacement of my TV was approved. However, as my LED65A8US unit was already outdated, they are offering to have it replaced by an updated model that they have on stock, a 65P727. I would however need to pay additional charges for that updated model.
Does anybody have any idea/experience if this "updated" model is at least of equal functionality and value?
What was quite peculiarly mentioned in that call (but not noted on the email I requested to formally document the replacement offer) was that they would offer a 3 month warranty for the replacement unit. I don't clearly understand what they meant, but if it means the unit is only warrantied up to 3 months upon receipt, aren't I on the losing end as if my old unit were not defective, it is still warrantied up to the end of its 2nd year - which is January '22?
Also, I asked if getting a more expensive variant, even if I were to pay more was an option (thinking if I were to shell out cash, might as well try the QLED variants). The TCL support did not have any prepared answer, tantamount to a "no".

2021 tcl c725/727 has MEMC motion smoothing, full array local dimming and hdmi 2.1 i believe and it also get a little brighter and wide color gamut quantum dots for HDR and also dolby vision. if you go for P727 its like paying for a newer shell for the same TV you have.

i got the similar call/offer last friday, 6aug, to get a replacement earlier. i was told that they are still seeking available stock to replace my 55a8us which will take about 2weeks. but if "i would accept" to pay ph3000.00 to get the 55p727 they can send it within a few days.
the 3 month warranty is an extension that is added to your original warranty expiry date. in your case it would be apr2022 (jan2022 + 3 mos).
i said i will wait for the 55a8us stock...for now :)
additionally found the 55p727 specs on a western appliance ad as follows:

@demjoe: thanks for the info. yup, got a reply from TCL that the 3 month extension is on top of the my existing warranty, so all is well. i may take on the 3k option to upgrade. i have had a long wait for my RMA to be served. having the new specs are a bonus (dolby vision, MEMC, android 11, hdmi 2.1, wifi 5g). i just hope that there would be no new "bug" bonuses. :)

I think the A8US isn't on Dolby Vision yet, too, which is also a worthy upgrade worth 3k. :)

lo and behold a hi-ace van with tcl logo was at my door and out comes the 55p727 from the back. it's just a week after i got the call from tcl customer service about taking 2-3weeks to find stock of a8us/p8us or pay Ph3000 for the p727.
so as i had hoped i did not have to pay for the ph3,000 extra. of course i don't expect to get the 3mo warranty extension also.
one catch is that the wall mount holes of the p727 is 300x200 vesa. so i could not use my existing movable arm wall mount that was 200x200. the unit comes with it's own fixed wall mount brackets though but i did not have it installed anymore as i will be moving my tv to another area of the house by next month. the tech was in and out of my house in 30mins as i had it on table stands.
because everything happened so quick, i forgot to logout my google and netflix accounts from the old unit :'(
so i had to reset all my account passwords ;)
now excuse me my while i play around with all of the settings of the p727 ;D
btw, there were 3 other 55p727 units in the van and couple other smaller ones. so lucky you if you also get your replacement today.

What was quite peculiarly mentioned in that call (but not noted on the email I requested to formally document the replacement offer) was that they would offer a 3 month warranty for the replacement unit. I don't clearly understand what they meant, but if it means the unit is only warrantied up to 3 months upon receipt, aren't I on the losing end as if my old unit were not defective, it is still warrantied up to the end of its 2nd year - which is January '22?
Also, I asked if getting a more expensive variant, even if I were to pay more was an option (thinking if I were to shell out cash, might as well try the QLED variants). The TCL support did not have any prepared answer, tantamount to a "no".
Aug 25 update: At long last, I got my replacement unit delivered to my home yesterday. Compared to the others who had their warranties attended to on time, I wasn't so lucky and it took a while for the replacement.
However, am much satisfied with the replacement. Although I had to pay additional 3k for the "replacement upgrade" for the defective 65A8US, the performance and the new features of the 65P727 mentioned above is well worth it - for an entry level TV.

2yrs warranty ba si TCL?
Post by: raider125jeigh on Aug 26, 2021 at 12:14 AM
unfortunately my 55a8us that i bought last may2020 started to have what looked like backlight flicker on the left section of the screen. so i called tcl customer service on a monday and the technician arrived on friday of the same week. luckily the authorized service center is just within our area.same problem here. I havent contacted service center though.
that was when I was told by the tech to come really close about 6-8in to the screen and you will then see horizontal hairline thin lines probably rows of pixels losing colors. so they are what appeared to be the flickering when viewed from a distance as they were present top to bottom but only on the left half of the screen.
diagnosis, panel issue. tech said that panel replacement was the likely action to be done. but i insisted to note it in his report that i preferred unit replacement as this was a major part of the item that you do not normally replace. this is the reason i have this unit in the first place, my lg uh6500 panel went bust at 26months.
i'm still awaiting the final resolution from tcl customer service. will provide the update as it becomes available.

ung TCL 55PM ko na binili last year starting to have a problem. Nag flicker ung left side. You can watch but a times annoying.
2yrs warranty ba si TCL?
yes, it's 2yrs. get your receipt ready to provide the details to tcl customer service when you call them and show it to the technician when they arrive.

Question: iba pa ba yung nilabas ng tcl sa Philippines versus sa abroad? Yung 2020 model na c715 , ano equivalent nun? Series 5 or 6?
nope different model ito. inferior
if you want you can check out the tcl c825 it is mini led, its out now for 87k for the 65" cash

May nakapaginstall na ba sa inyo ng Disney Plus?
I was able to install it on other Android devices. first you need a US Google account and VPN (USA server), duon pa lang lalabas yung Disney+, HBO Max sa google play. or yung iba eh sideload nila, pero madalas need ng update ng app kaya dapat naka US ang google play mo or you need to re-sideload it again.

Parang ang taas yata ng failure rate ng TCL here sa pdvd. Been back reading and most of the issues within 1 to 2 years. Good thing ok ang after sales service nilaYes sir very accomodating sila. Sabi nga nila si tcl lang daw libre pullout ng unit. Sa ibang brand na hawak nila like sharp at prestize eh may pullout fee na icharge sa owner.
At least sir 2 years ang warranty nila. May case ako before sa samsung plasma ko nag ka issue before 2 years kaya napalitan ng panel. That time 2 years pa warranty. Pero ngayon hindi na muna ako mag samsung. 1 yr na lang kasi warranty nila

I usually connect my internet TV's wired directly to the router, for faster and more reliable connections. However, when I upgraded my internet connection to 200Mbps a few months ago, I could not go past my old plan of 100Mbps using a speedtest app installed on the TV. I thought all the while that Globe has not yet activated my request for upgrade. They even came in an replaced the router with a new one, and it still did not get fixed. When tested using a mobile however, I can go up to 250Mbps peak.
It occurred to me later to change the settings from wired to wireless. Speedtest can now go full >200Mbps.
Counter-intuitive, but wireless is faster than wired, for my particular predicament. :) HTH.

Even if WiFi provides a higher speed compared to wired LAN and my router is within an arm's length of the TV, I experience occasional slowdowns with WiFi compared to wired LAN limited to 100 mbps. So I just went back to the wired option instead.

yep. it seems like 4k only requires 20-25Mbps sustained for streaming (with compression, of course), so logical nga na wired LAN should serve the purpose and would be more advantageous in terms of reliability.
Agree Sir. Nakakatuwa lang na kapag nag speedtest ka eh at umabot ng 100mbps eh capable ng mag stream ng 8K. Hehehe!!!
i'll keep using the wireless connection though. maganda lang talaga tingnan na yung advertised speed for your plan is reached. :)

I was planning to buy 43P735. Okay na ba ang input lag using PS5 on Game Mode? Also compared kaya sa LG C2, malayo kaya ang difference ng gaming input response? Based from displayspecifications.com 15ms si TCL while C2 is 5.3ms. Just wondering kung masyadong malaki ang difference, planning on playing competitive games (COD Warzone etc).
Medyo malaki kasi difference sa price pero kung almost the same experience with input response, baka mag TCL na lang ako para makatipid. Di naman ako masyado maselan with regards to PQ, input lag lang main concern ko.

LED backlight problem nyan. ganyan din nangyari sa Toshiba TV ko dati, tumagal naman ng 6 yrs yata, nung canvass ako magkano paayos nasa 5k-7k depende sa backlight na gagamitin. hindi ko na pinagawa, bumili na lang ako ng new TV.

It's not the same as before. halata yung mga gaps pag solid white yung picture. i can live with it. tumagal ng another year and im good to replace it when and if it conks out again.
would i recommend yung gumawa to others? no. di ko gusto yung attitude at work ethics.
usapan namin 1PM. dumating 2PM na. i even messaged him around 10AM na agahan kung kaya. di man lang nag sorry na na-late siya ng punta.
tapos medyo mayabang din kesyo kilala daw nya mga maaayos gumawa, kesyo yung isang kinausap ko daw eh pache pache gumawa and yet yung gawa nya for me is pache pache din :D
Edit. alam ko kung ano yung gaps. yung mga wires. they are creating a shadow since nasa ibabaw nung white sheet unlike yung original, yung bulb lang naka labas sa butas.

nung pina check din namin tv namin, nag set up ako ng table sa garage namin para hindi pumasok sa luob ng house yung technician. btw, wag ka din buy ng skyworth kasi after a year lang nagka horizontal lines na yung panel buti under warranty pa kaya palit panel na din.

so far ang buhay ko pa na tv eh Panasonic LCD (2009), Sony (2015), Samsung curve (2020). hindi pa napapalitan yung panel ng Skyworth, 10 days na since na report namin.

The TCL OLEDs are not available locally, sadly. For OLEDs supplied in the PH, it's either Panasonic or LG.
Would appreciate any feedbacks/comments on this model I saw at SM Apps Store :)

thanks for the heads up sir .. yun P737 is P32,995.00 .. being both 2022 model, am wondering if the P737 is way better than the P635?

Just looking at the specs on the TCL website, it looks like the P737 has wide color gamut and Dolby Vision while the P635 does not.
However, what I actually meant to type was the C635 which is a QLED panel and is superior to the P737 (sorry as it looks like my post was a typo). It also has 120Hz VRR capability, which makes it a better gaming tv than the P737.
Check out C635 on Anson's or on FB Marketplace as the 55" is under 30k right now for cash payment.

Call it in, it may well be just a quick parts change to fix.

^ Yan din naisip ko baka magbayad pa ako sa repair e di naman tatagal. Paid 20k for the unit, 3 years at height of lockdown, sulit na din yun TV hehe.
I also have an A8US. Died on me twice. First was a panel replacement (wala akong binayaran) next was a board replacement (paid around 5k, IIRC). It's been 2+ years since the board replacement so far ok pa naman.

^Ayus! meron naman pala successful repairs ang TCL. I might consider this if i cannot find a good deal on TVs I like. Actually, yun service center yata na nacontact ni @usblave ay malapit lang dito sa village namin.Yung nag repair ng tv ko mukhang very experienced na. He was even mentoring his assistant on how to tape properly, watch out for frayed wires, make sure everything is grounded, etc. Probably in his mid to late 50s.
Our advantage is that the A8US has been around for a while so the repair guys know their way around it. :)
While I don't expect this to last the decade, at least masulit ko naman sana until maging obsolete na yung firmware. But truth be told, I still get updates for it years after its purchase date.

Kapag tumawag ka sa customer service banggitin mo na malapit ka sa rosarito. Goodluck sir sa tv mo

Yup, that's it. Note that TCL discounts its TV's even before the holiday season so buying now is probably not a good idea.

One of the products that I will avoid for the rest of my life is TCL.
care to share why?
Post by: synchro_01 on May 25, 2023 at 05:46 PM
care to share why?
Had one. died 1 week after the warranty expired. Not economically sound to have it fixed.
My Dad had one. Died as well within warranty. Repaired by TCL numerous times.
Both used with voltage regulators, power conditioners and in air conditioned rooms.

dito ko na lang ask.

I used a bluetooth one during the pandemic; tv + media controls in front and has a keyboard on the reverse side. This also has a mouse but it was not as good as the one I had for an LG TV.
It worked fine for a few months but one of my cats felled a speaker where the remote was resting on and it hasn't worked since. YMMV.

Tcl 65c645 now at 32k with soindbar. Ok na kaya? Looks like my almost 6 yo 55 in hisense is really busted (flickering). Someone quoted 3k but not sure if worth it pa pa repair. What do you guys think?The C series has good PQ, better than the non OLED LG's. It's also 120Hz capable but be sure to update the firmware before you do any color calibrations or other settings.
32k is a really good deal for a 65" tv with a good QLED panel and HDMI 2.1. It will be a huge upgrade over your older TV. May free soundbar pa.

What I was surprised was the color rendition, both on HDR10 and Dolby Vision, which I thought was nearly as good as on an OLED. After checking their website, it turns out this TV has:
• Full Array Local Dimming
• 144Hz VRR
• 1000 nits on HDR
There is also a higher-priced C755 (QD-mini LED), which can do 1300 nits on HDR and an even higher 2,000 nits on the even more expensive C845. All these models have the same 144Hz VRR capability.
I'm not sure which models are on sale in Manila right now but it looks like the best non-OLED gaming TV's available today are from TCL.
