All credit to PW who found the lower price in a similar deal.

I just think that it's too good of a deal to be buried in comments. There is no mention of panel refresh rate nor type of SmartOS though.

Found a demo of their linux based OS

    so 400Hz CMI isn't refresh rate? What is this mean?

    • japik on 12/07/2016 - 12:30

      I think its stands for Clear Motion Index. What's it does might be for that motion flow option but not sure.

        Yeah, something similar to Samsung's Dynamic Contrast. You can pretty much ignore it. My bet on the panel refresh rate is 100Hz.

      lol, it's hard to go back to 720p after using a 4K.

        I'm sure it must be hard… with all that imaginary 4K content you must have :/

          Yeah, I have watched heaps of imaginary Netflix shows and 4K movies ever since I got my Sony last Xmas. You know what's weird? The whole household had the exact same imagination.

          Time to come out from the cave son. It's less than 6 months away from 2017.

        • BadGiraffe on 12/07/2016 - 13:15

          @MadMaxBargainRoad: So, I have a question. Suppose I get a 4K TV… will my 720p and 1080p still look alright? Or will it look fuzzy?

          Like… right now, on my 1080p TV, I can still watch 720p stuff… but I can tell the difference, and it somewhat bothers me.

        • MadMaxBargainRoad on 12/07/2016 - 13:22

          @flaminglemon: This is a very difficult question to answer without testing an actual unit. What you are saying is upscaling and there are a lot of factors that affect the final image quality eg. CPU, input source, image processor and the panel itself.

          Normally if you input 720p video through a digital source (HDMI/DP/DVI) you won't have much of a problem. I have been watching 720p/1080p with absolutely no issue on my 65X8500C or on an older Samsung 4 series from 2010.

          There are reviews that go into this kind of details for mainstream models but I doubt you can find one for a TCL midrange offering. The easiest way is getting into a store and ask the guy to play a 720p video for you.

          @MadMaxBargainRoad: Good call. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

    Does this come with Freeview preinstalled?

    • Kaboda on 12/07/2016 - 13:07

      Yes

  • Technics on 12/07/2016 - 13:11

    I've picked up one of these. So far Netflix and SBS On Demand don't work for me. HDMI-CEC support is very buggy. I will chase a firmware update from TCL and see what happens.

    • ilikeradiohead on 12/07/2016 - 13:50

      How's the TV other than that though? Screen quality, speakers etc? I use my Xbox one for all that sort of stuff so I'd be less concerned about the smart functions not working.

        There's a fair bit of back-light bleed noticeable in a very dark room. Other than the the picture is good. The SD picture is mediocre but 720p and above is fine. Speakers are okay, not great. I use an AVR so I haven't thoroughly tested the them.

          What's the input lag like when plugging in a 1080p source?

          If you don't know but on the chance you have about 10 minutes spare and wanted to get an accurate measurement, then you can use the tool here http://tft.vanity.dk/ to display an accurate timer on both a PC monitor and the TV which will help you get the input lag value(s).

          1) Connect TV to PC.

          2) Open up 2 windows of the timer on the PC monitor.

          3) Take a photo of your PC monitor with a fast shutter speed with both windows open.

          4) Compare the offset of the timers in the photo and note that value.

          5) Move one of the windows to the TV, so that both the monitor and TV have a timer window displayed.

          6) Take a photo using a high shutter speed and note the timer values.

          7) Subtract the divergence of the last photo from the first photo (e.g. +100ms difference in 2nd photo, -30ms difference in the first photo would give a value of 70ms). This is what the input lag of the TV is when displaying a 1080p source on that input.

          8) Repeat for 4K and even different inputs on the TV can have different input lag on them. Also enable game modes or disable post processing if availble in the TV options for further testing.

          Quite a lot of people would be interested in what the input lag is like for this TV.

      I have a similar model to this and have had similar problems
      A few weeks ago I contacted them and they put me in contact with someone higher up and yesterday he assured me they are almost done on a firmware update that will fix freeview problems and some of the smart tv features. I don't recall him mentioning any fix for the hdmi-CEC problems (I told them about it in the original message).

      There are problems, but they're actively working on it and very quick to try and help you through their TCL australia Facebook page

      • Technics on 12/07/2016 - 18:40

        It's good to hear that they are working on it. Hopefully things will improve. They would need to if the brand want to be serious competition to the Japanese and Korean manufacturers. The the current effort is really not up to scratch. It's fairly clear from the implementation of HDMI-CEC that whoever developed the firmware did not have a good understanding of how the feature is supposed to work.

    Hi Madmax - I was just reading your comments on some of the other TV's!

    How do you think this one compares in terms of the interlacing? I couldn't find many TCL TV's on the RTINGS site (http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/60-inch/best), and so I'm keen to know what you think of it.

    Cheers,

    • MadMaxBargainRoad on 13/07/2016 - 10:21

      lol, another tough one.

      I guess you are referring interlacing scanning right? eg. 1080i/480i. They are generally less taxing on the TV's image processor than progressive scanning as you only generate half of an image per frame. I haven seen TVs that struggle to do 1080p yet doing fine in 1080i but never the other way around.

      What kind of interlacing source do you have? FTA TV or file on a computer?
