It arrived okay. First thing is most telly viewing parents do is HD terrestrial stream which upscaled is not as clear as their last plasma telly but it's okay. The colours as arrived need a bit of tweaking. Definitely better blacks and strong colours that actually need getting used to. The Android TV system seems okay and intuitive. The Google Assistant worked okay. Nice premium feel. Is it better than the equivalent LGs, Samsungs? Don't know but for the price quite good.

Arriving tomorrow. Will provide an opinion.

If this TV had 120hz panel and HDMI 2.1 it would literally be the holy grail of affordable TVs for gamers (lol) This looks great though!

A couple of pictures to show the tv image and black levels.

I almost bought this from costco 8-9 months ago circa £800.. Before splashing on the cx55... I'm not dissapointed with my decision at all, however had this tv been available at this price, the soundbar, WiFi 6, camera and mini led qled screen, (and I think it has android) I would have certainly bought 2 of these instead.. Saw it on display and blasted the sound bar watched a few 4k vids from YouTube on it. Superb for this price... If in doubt (and budget is a factor) get it.. You won't regret it..

It dropped again to £584 earlier, by the time I checked out and came back here to post it had gone back up to £1000! Now to explain where this new TV appeared from...

For mine it was on the spec page of the TV under downloads

Can you point us in the direction of the software update please? I can't find it online.

try downloading latest firmware via website , speeded up menus on my tcl , update does not work via wifi , has to be done via usb stick

Yes, even with the reported VRR issues on the Philips 706 it's a far better TV than the TCL. The TCL may get brighter but that's it. For the money it's probably a reasonable TV for most but the Philips 706 OLED is a very good TV and for £1050 was a very good price for a 65 inch OLED. I recently bought a Hisense A9G TV based in the spec and it being OLED for £609 but ended up returning it due to numerous issues. The lower end / budget brands need to pack their TVs with every but they can, but the core elements like motions and picture processing are years behind the likes of Panasonic, Sony, LG, Samsung and even Philips.

Reliving the good times (lol) I thought I remembered it being a receiver... https://www.hotukdeals.com/share-deal/693013

You have a few options here: Denon X1700H at £599 as Aoundwavez suggests. There's also the X2700H at £649 and X3700H at £1,000. The last 2 are 2020/2021 models where only one of the HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1 8K@60hz/4K@120hz enabled for PS5 or XBOX Series X. I've got a Denon X3700H and I love it, though not as much as the Onkyo it replaced that sadly died. There's also the Yamaha RX-V4A at £449 and the RX-V6A at £649. These have multiple HDMI 2.1 ports. All of the above support HDMI 2.1, DTS-X and ATMOS. Beware earlier models of both Denon and Yamaha above, which had faulty HDMI chipsets from Panasonic. Denon released a fixed version and fobbed customers off with an adaptor and Yamaha issued a customer recall to swap the boards out, so worth checking it's the new version if you buy one. It might be worth waiting though, as all of the above are likely due a refresh later this year, so will either drop in price or be be superceded feature-wise. I miss Onkyo. I hope it's not the end for them. They make damn good Yoghurt!

Oh blood hell how I miss Onkyo receivers! I hate my Sony STRDN 1080

Awesome thanks that gives me a reference point at least, seen stuff that starts at 2k with only 4 inputs which just seemed extreme for the price.

Denon X1700H but the price is inflated at £599 due to the current market. It is the entry level in Denons range so in terms of sound there is better out there but if you want 2.1 and 120hz for PS5 and Series X then it is recommended.

Back upto £480 again, in stock to deal should really be active again

Now down to £465!

Looks like buying TV is really difficult these days as there's too many choices. Could someone please help me? I am looking for decent 4k tv to use with my firestick 4k.

The out of box setting deos not look very good on either SDR or HDR, anyone has recommendation settings? Also compare to 825k mode reviewed on YouTube, the 826k does not seem to have "intelligent setting" option from the menu...

Yeah just spotted the deal is back on, Another guy bought it on here and said its impressive. Will do (y)

After a few days use and play around of the settings, I can confirm this model is very good. Dark blacks, and vivid colour, with Govee immerse tv back light, definitely a treat for the eye. I mainly watching movies (steaming or bluray), and through Nvdia shield, so no hdmi 2.1 and laggy OS does not bother me so much. plus the integrated 2.1 sound bar is also outstanding, compared to other TVs. I've also got a 2019 LG OLED C8, not much different in terms of viewing experience, from my perspective.

seems this is the lowest so far, it's back to £900+ now.

Don't know much about U8, but mini LED for TCL is better tech I think.

Hi Everyone, quick question for you. I am stuck between this or the Hisense u8 on offer also. Any advice would be great and appreciated. Saves ordering 2 of them lol. Thanks

okay, I found out that the reason for low brightness in HDR mode, apparently I need to switch off clear LED motion.
