Good for you. Actually tolerable naman yung issue sakin kasi ok naman sa default android. Since mag 2 years na better to check. Baka after 2 years lumala eh. Sayang ang warranty

Update lang po. Service service will endorse to TCL for unit replacement.
Sana 55 P727 ang ibigay or may time daw na nag allow for upgrade from 55 to 65".
Crossed fingers sana i offer din sakin. Willing to add naman.

Lucky you.  Yung sa A8US ko panel yung pinalitan, I would have preferred a replacement TV.

Sorry to hear that. Reco po ba ng service center na palitan ng panel?

Yep.

[usbslave]

Sayang but good thing napalitan panel bago mag end ang warranty. Share ko na din contact info ng service center. Baka lang mag entertain sila ng walk in pagdating sa warranty. Try to call them in case need pa warranty

Just an update. Approved na for replacement. Since wala ng same model nag offer sila ng upgrade to 55P727. Magdeposit ako sa bank ng 3k. Waiting lang sa details ng bank. Hopefully ma deliver in 1 week.

Google TV 11 na pala yung P727.  Probably needs a firmware upgrade as soon as you connect it to the internet.

Dolby Vision na rin siya, btw.

[bejiboys]

my replacement 65p727 is still android tv when it came.  forcing and online update does not provide an available upgrade/change path.  baka kelangan mag update using those fw available on some enthusiast website to change mine (though i see no reason to)

what is weird though, on the TCL link provided, it says google tv 11, but the image seem to show the old android tv UI. 

enjoy.

Note to other p727 users.  The ethernet/LAN port on the TV is only 100Mbps, confirmed via the link provided, and the tests I was forced to conduct to resolve my issue.

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.

Sir you can use 3.0 USB LAN adaptor para ma reach mo yung 250mbps. Good thing naka usb 3.0 na si P727

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.

and for 4K UHD videos, enough na yung 100Mbps. tried it on both Netflix and YT, walang pagkaka iba kung video quality kung ang speed ko eh 80-100Mbps and sa 150-200 Mbps.

Agree Sir. Nakakatuwa lang na kapag nag speedtest ka eh at umabot ng 100mbps eh capable ng mag stream ng 8K. Hehehe!!!

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.

i'll keep using the wireless connection though.  maganda lang talaga tingnan na yung advertised speed for your plan is reached.

most of the time wireless din ako kasi katabi lang ng tv ko yung router, pero nag switch ako wired pag pansin ko na parang nde stable while watching live sports events like NBA or UFC.

A satisfied TCL TV user here. I have 2. The first one is almost 4yrs running and the other one more than 2yrs already. Hoping both to last.

[usbslave]

Update po sa replacement ng tv ko. Confirmed na 55P727 na google tv ang idedeliver sakin
Hingi lang po ng magandang picture settings. Salamat

Hey guys TCL user here, E5700 model. 7 years old na rin ito. No problems whatsoever. 4K din kaso medyo terrible ang input lag and walang Game Mode.

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.
