TCL 55C805K QD Mini-LED VRR 144hz TV w/code sold by ao (UK Mainland)

What OLED and how does it compare in picture quality other than brightness? (edited)

Is 144Hz a real refresh rate or just marketing slurr?

My tcl 635k has iplayer, Netflix etc. I don't use the smart features very often mind. (edited)

It's a European version of the C755 which means it sits between the c745k and c845k on TCL standings. I did a lot of research on AV forums an few other sites and this TV at this price is very good bang of buck. Just be mindful you will need calibrate the image settings because they are rubbish out of the box and probably why some people are complaining because they don't know/don't want to adjust settings and also a fire stick or something to replace the inbuilt system. For me as a bedroom gaming TV it's perfect for the price.

Not OLED level blacks but I'd say incredibly close and massively cheaper. It's very good value indeed.

TCL is better

What settings are you using? If it's the out of the box setting, you'd want to change those right away. Movie mode is usually the best place to stay for a natural picture.

It says... Manufacturer Warranty: 2 Year

Just get a FireTV stick

I have had issues with the interface being dog slow on my 55C729k, I also have issues occasionally where if I wake the TV from sleep, it will start playing via my surround sound normally for a few seconds, then blare at FULL VOLUME through the in-built speakers at the same time, resulting in waking up everyone in the house with distorted noise.

I am also disappointed to find I cannot add the TV as a speaker in my Google Home app, this apparently works with other TV manufacturers and would be very useful to me as I would like to include the TV and surround sound system to routines to start playing music when I wake up or get home etc but this is not possible with the current software stack of this TV.

I have had to reset my TV to factory settings on a few occasions as YouTube became steadily more sluggish until eventually it would just not play videos anymore and instead reverted to a very poor slideshow app.

The picture quality is decent however if there's a grey screen there is noticeable patchiness with the backlighting, it appears I have a dark stripe towards the left side so I may have some dead LEDs but it looks like the diffusion panel is warped or is not sitting flat against the panel.

The bluetooth remote is another pain point, it's great to not have to point the remote at the TV to use the IR function, but it often 'sticks' and repeats the same input for a couple of seconds, resulting in a single click often being read as 10 on the TV, I think there are more serious issues with Bluetooth connectivity however as when I paired a Google Stadia controller with the TV, the same issues were present.

I had issues with Moonlight game streaming totally locking up the TV after a few minutes of streaming gameplay from my PC, this was reported to TCL customer service and never resolved.

After this experience, I cannot recommend anyone buy a TCL TV. They are cheap, but that's about all they have going in their favour.

Not many & can't compare properly like if rtings reviewed both, but this is the next best hopefully hotukdeals.com/com…003
Costco does proper 5-year warranties on all their TVs (Hisense included), so I'd definitely consider buying from them as well.

Excellent if you prefer larger TV's

2 years warranty, try look at reviews and see if the picture quality is comparable. I haven't personally compared it with this one.
