agree. For most people its hard to adjust to the settings that give the accurate colors, which end up showing more gold/yellow tones instead compared to the intense blue tones on the tv's on display in the stores.I have never used any modes for what I'm watching. I look up the settings on avsforums that people have after getting their display calibrated and then never change it.
For me yes. It’s not like an OLED or anything but looks like all my other Samsung TVs. Solid picture. But again I’m not a hardcore TV guy.
Thanks.
At the half price deal I got, feels totally worth it. Again, in part because it’s a formal living room where we don’t frequently watch TV. Perfect for this.
My FIL visited this weekend. In our living room he looked up and says “wow, got rid of the TV in here huh.” He had no idea the Frame TV was not a painting or photo. Was blown away. Thing is great.
Some others can chime in on sports, but I have the previous version of this TCL and it is great. Considered one of the best buys for picture quality. Sound sucks, so you would definitely need a sound bar or stereo system. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-65-class-led-6-series-2160p-smart-4k-uhd-tv-with-hdr-roku-tv/6204551.p?skuId=6204551. Also, here is a great review, and a good resource to look for TV's that are great with sports. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/6-series-r617-2018.
Those TCL TVs are a great value. I have the 55 inch one. They get good reviews for gaming.
Make sure you get the Roku app. You can really fine tune the picture quality from the app.
If it's not too late, you can get the same TV with a voice-enabled remote from Amazon for the same price. The remote is the only difference between the two, but the ability to search by voice might be worth the hassle.
Hmm thats weird. When I checked Amazon it was $100 more expensive. Oh well. Most of my viewing habits are Fios anyway
Actually I was able to cancel my Best Buy order and get it from Amazon with 5% off! Thanks!
It’s showing a price of $819 for me at that amazon linkshadyridr said:
I suggest doing some research on this site: https://www.rtings.com/randall146 said:
One thing I failed to mention. The first TV I got had a bad screen. It was as if the screen had a warp in it. Took it back and the second one was fine. Be sure to check the screen thouroughly (I noticed it prominently when I had my PS4 on with the light blue background). Also, I used RTings recommended settings using the Roku app as @Mile High mentioned. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/6-series-r617-2018/settingsshadyridr said:
Yeah, the Roku remote that came work my TCL sticks. It's pretty rare that I actually use it though.
Loving this!Ended up going with the 65' Sony x900f LED and a Yamaha YAS-207 soundbar. Came in right at 2K.
I did some network analysis tools and found the TCL to just obliterate the wifi when streaming. So much so I pulled cable to hard wire it. It's a nice TV, but if you bump into wifi bandwidth issues while using it, just be aware.
My understanding based on my lurking days at AVS is it shouldn’t matter unless you are running a low end tv.
That was my final 2 choices as well. Ended up with the Sony and zero regrets. TCL was tempting, but figured the Sony would last longerWalking Boot said:
Looking at upgrading. I was considering a 65" but I might go up to 75". Right now the TCL 75R617 is my frontrunner, but also considering the Sony X800G if I go that big.
That would work too. I paired the TV with our Comcast remote, but control is very limited with the Comcast remote and doesn’t work navigating any of the apps. I should probably look into another universal remote.
I grabbed the 75 TCL a month ago. No banding issues whatsoever. Been very happy with it, especially at its price. Picture is fantastic (full disclosure this is my first 4K, upgraded from standard HD). Love the Roku system. Highly recommend.
What’s this now
