    Is this better than Kogan Curved TV or other brands? Any comment please.

  • flyingmouse on 18/11/2018 - 13:29

    Feels more like Aldi 4k + Android + extra warranty.

    • bargain0321 on 18/11/2018 - 13:36

      Thanks,not sure if it's worth to buy this one or Kogan's Curved 55" TV, even cheaper.

      • flyingmouse on 18/11/2018 - 14:16

        Maybe have a look this TV, if you're happy with price and quality why not buy it. At least you can be sure what you'll get.
        I don't think you can return Kogan TV without paying the postage so a bit gamble I reckon.

        • bargain0321 on 18/11/2018 - 14:24

          You are right, return postage will be high, not worth it.

          • flyingmouse on 18/11/2018 - 15:29

            @bargain0321: I bought an Aldi TV back September, 60' 4k for $599, the only reason I did is you can return in 60 days.

        • Danstar on 18/11/2018 - 14:57

          Return is free if it’s DOA

    Think this is only an 8 bit panel, therefore no real HDR. However, for a cheapie….

      Not sure if it's 8 bit or 10 bit. But for the price, can't expect more…
      :)

      • sane on 18/11/2018 - 15:12

        Found the specs on it - 8 bit. Supposed to have low input lag too.

        I wonder how low these prices can go?

    Hey guys I'm pretty sure I needed to help my parents buy a new TV and this model TCL was the one I looked at in JB hifi as it was priced similarly around a thousand to a Samsung NU7000 TV but it had android and was a little cheaper I noticed in the store the colours looked ok but the problem that made me walk away and never consider buying the TCL TV was viewing the actual TV in store at JB hifi I noticed it had some of the worst viewing angles on a TV I've seen. If you aren't exactly dead center eye level right in front it starts fading to black. That's all I'll say about the TCL but I recently bought an expensive TV after reading up online on websites like rtings.com which test and review tv's in detail and depth. So I made an informed decision but many people aren't informed. Holy text walls batman am I going to inform you all.

    If I were looking to buy a TV people always scream about how awesome OLED is, well it was when it was first invented but it has some flaws which we haven't been able to fix to this day and quantum dot is the evolution of the computer LED screen so I feel its a better choice for home use in most cases unless specifically for a dark cinema room for exclusively and only ever viewing bluray discs only then go OLED. If I wanted a TV that was ever going to be used for watching free to air channels which may have logos or used almost all day every day, or playing video games which often have health bars and stuff static content I would not get an OLED TV as they have burn in but they call it image retention nowadays as its a different screen technology to plasma. OLED TV's also have colour bleed and the blues will fade overtime it takes 8-12 hours for very visible burnin on an oled but the colour bleed and faded blues will creep up no matter what.. If you want to future proof your TV and allow it to be used for static images like console gaming or PC usage I'd recommend a Samsung NU8500 minimum as the NU7000 doesn't seem to support freesync but the 8 series it does have freesync (hdmi 2.1's VRR) and is HDR10+ compatible but if you can afford it I'd strongly recommend spending a bit over $2,000 and getting a 10bit panel Samsung QLED series a Q6FN or the Q7FN. the Samsung QLED panels will have a 10 year guarantee no colour bleed/burn-in that plagues the OLED panels. Get a extended warranty on the $2000 TV's like 5 years as you spent so much u don't wanna buy a new one if it dies after 2 years outside warranty else you'd be paying like a thousand a year just to own a TV forget that! Though Q7FN is Quantum dot/QLED so they don't have the great blacks of OLED and don't have the better viewing angles of OLED they are about twice as bright as an OLED panel so the colours are more vibrant and really pop bright vibrant colour and so darn bright its better for viewing in daytime its pretty visible even in the sunlight. Thats the big difference between oled and qled if its not a night scene of a black cat being viewed in a dark room at a near right angle seating position for the better viewing angles u pretty much don't need to care about OLED supposed advantage of viewing angles and blacks coz well its a dim TV with less colours so the picture has less pop. Plus the Q7FN that I bought you can 4k 120hz at 4:2:2 or maybe 4:2:0 chroma I believe with xbox one X I think the QLED Q7FN supports 1440p120hz full chroma I believe so its great for gaming. the Q7FN has probably the widest colour gamut for any TV this year in 2018 in consumer TV's according to the gamut benchmarks on rtings.com
    Samsung Q7FN QLED HDR and colour specs are good enough to last for several years easy as it will do close to 80% of rec2020 which is probably over 50% of the visible light spectrum so its a pretty damned awesome TV the full rec2020 colourspace is 60% of visible light but Samsung tv's are top consumer TV's in colour gamut and the OLED TV's are a close but not industry leaders Samsung was first to full DCI-P3 colour volume. It'll probably be years till we broadcast in 4k 10bit HDR so yeah even Hollywood a lot of their new release movies on 4k disc aren't even filmed in 4k even stunning looking 4k discs like the Dicaprio's Revenant are actually 3k masters.. a lot of movies are 1080p 8bit software magiced into 10bit HDR u don't think they had HDR back in the 80's for movies like david bowie's labyrinth do you?. Since software can make old 80's films look good
    You will need an AMD graphics card for the freesync to work a 400 series or 500 series or VEGA they are recommended as they have better picture quality too and are cheaper and will provide similar FPS give or take 5-10% to nvidia but with a higher quality image. As I bought a Samsung Q7FN QLED I figured out a trick to make the colours look amazing. You need windows 10 that's been recently updated and a hdmi 2.0B 18gbps hdmi cable. In the TV settings go to general, external devices, game mode and turn it on and set freesync to ultimate and you can put game motion on too if you like. Then right click your windows 10 desktop set display to 1080p (the reason we need to set to 1080p is so we can 120hz 10bit or 12bit 444 chroma ycbcr output it makes games look incredible and at 1080p your graphics card can keep up high frames as current cards and hdmi bandwidth limits means no 4k120hz gaming at 12bit 444 right now. Then in win 10 display settings go to advanced graphics settings and adjust display adaptor properties and go to monitor and set it to 120hz. then in AMD graphics settings go to display and enable freesync on your graphics card. You could do away with Vsync for games 45-60hz if you cap the FPS to 60 then but if you play a 24fps video (read: Netflix) you'd get judder/tearing so best to leave Vsync always on "enhanced vsync" mode in global settings and maybe adjust your specific games vsync settings individually as you desire. In your graphics cards settings then set your colour space manually to 12bit or 10bit YCBCR 4:4:4 then edit the picture settings, set it to movie mode and I like to have max backlight max contrast and max or near max maybe 40-50 colour then set the colourspace from AUTO to NATIVE (when watching 4k discs you may need to change it back to AUTO for better colours but for desktop/gaming and youtube and stuff NATIVE is best) you will then have to select the input source and edit the input type to be changed from PC to a Blu-ray player. Download the windows store Netflix app and watch an episode of my little pony on it, it will be quite possibly the most colourful thing you've ever seen if you've seen anything more colourful than that you were probably blinded by a laser machine at a rave party. the Q8FN has better picture quality but maybe slightly less colour gamut than the q7 and the q8 costs more and you wont notice the difference I think a Q6FN is the value for money buy but Q7 better colour gamut as they have different panels on the different models. Note that by using YCBCR colourspace instead of RGB photos will look more life like and movies too its the colourspace of film photography made for capturing light so magentas and deep blues may look a touch oversaturated but if that bothers you try change the 12bit YCBCR444 to RGB 444 see the difference. I found fortnite looks amazingly colourful gaming in fullscreen mode 1080p max settings I have two RX 580 8gb cards as they were way cheaper than a GTX 1080 at the time and perform similarly or better than one unless a game dev actually bothered to link to some code someone else wrote that's part of windows 10 directx 12 called multi GPU or they tested and optimized their games for AMD cards and multiGPU then you could run the two cards 1x1 optimized and they'd have literally double the FPS of a single card basically and they'd get twice the VRAM so 16GB as directx 12 allows multigpu support finally but nvidia wants to sell expensive single cards called titans and don't want you using two cheaper cards to vastly outperform it so they 'encourage' people not to develop for AMD hardware. NVIDIA 'gift' people with CEO edition 32GB titan cards (read: openly bribe) but the evils of nvidia aren't related to TV's much at all so i'll shut up about that the point was you could buy up some AMD graphics cards and AMD computers cheaper than nvidia but they perform about as good it saves money and makes sense its a bargain. so yeah get an AMD card, or an xbox one X and game on a Samsung 2018 QLED TV make sure you buy the Q6FN or the Q7FN the Q6C and Q7C are previous years model and may not have freesync I dunno as I don't own one. Freesync was added to the TV's via an update in may so if you don't find freesync out of the box get it updated. Now that I typed all this watch it get flagged as spam and nobody reads text walls anyway.

          To further enhance the colour if you have an AMD graphics card, in the AMD radeon settings go to the Video tab and select a custom profile and turn custom colour vibrance to high and AMD fluid motion to ON that's pretty much all you should need to do Netflix will look super colourful for anything you watch in the windows 10 store Netflix app. I recommend using the windows 10 app as it supports dolby digital plus audio and 4k video while some browsers only support stereo audio chrome used to only support 720p Netflix I don't know if this has changed but safest bet is the windows 10 app store's Netflix should be the best quality/viewing experience.

            @[Deactivated]: Forgot above I mentioned movie mode for the picture settings.. if you can't find the movie mode, that's because its in game mode.. movie mode is best for viewing movies but I can't be bothered switching out of game mode and back to movie mode every time I watch a movie or play a game so I often leave it on game mode and its just as good but the "motion enhancement" is a bit different I think and theres options like noise filtering. modern 4k 10bit hdr video at like 60fps looks pretty much the same in game mode as movie mode so you'd really only need movie mode enhancements for older videos to clean up the noise grain and stuff. I mentioned movie mode as its the best for viewing video of course but game mode looks very great and rather similar for the most part too so I don't bother with movie mode much.

            • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2018 - 22:46

              @[Deactivated]: Sorry, My mistake.. the last few lines in the above reply I mentioned further enhancing the colour under the video tab but that's not quite right. It seems setting the AMD Video profiles to vivid or custom and enhancing colour that way leads to artifacts blocky sharpening artifacts or something or seemed to require global settings to be enhanced or overridden for all applications and this gave me some judder with the AA added on top of everything. It was a while since fiddled with my settings to get a nice picture. I think you were supposed to go into the AMD graphics software and under the display tab find the monitor/tv and click on the colour tab on the upper right and set colour and saturation to maybe around 110 each or just find whatever you think looks best. My TV was super colourful and looked amazingly good but I don't exactly remember how I got it to look so vibrant and eye-searingly awesomely colourful. Though I no longer ever use Nvidia graphics cards I know they've digital vibrance effect to enhance colour and contrast if you are using nvidia's colour settings instead of windows. Go find it and have a play with the digital vibrance settings if you've got an nvidia card. Might make things look a bit nicer too just probably a bit less good than on AMD hardware.

                @[Deactivated]: argh turns out movie mode on the Q7FN is probably way way better than game mode and freesync for video I finally enabled the motion enhancement as it used to sorta suck on my previous KS9500 which broke after 2 years so now I insist on 5 year warranty as that thing cost like $1500 per year ish anyway the motion enhancement on KS9500 caused artifacts and a noticeable drop in video quality with high speed motion and could only be used at low settings at best but I did read the other day a new update fixed those issues with improvements of leaps and bounds but mines broken so I can't say. Now I tried it this new Q7FN's motion enhancement it is the stuff I've always wanted. This is what you get when you spend lots of money on a TV quality motion enhancement though all the top models of TV's of 2018 seem to be pretty close in motion enhancement department now. I think the reason I didn't bother switching back to movie mode was maybe I had configured and setup freesync game mode colours and stuff so whenever I tried out movie mode it maybe had contrast enhancement on or switched to warm 2 setting or something lame like that and was making everything look worse than game mode so I stuck with game mode always till now. My juddery 24fps LG v30 video was mostly juddery coz of my shaky hands panning everything around and me trying to view it on game mode and sometimes at 120hz with antialiasing using direct3d11 renderer as I thought some AA might improve image quality or something I dunno I try out everything I can and see what works its how I figured out the amazing colours of my TV. basically at 120hz probably with Vsync off it juddered like crazy till I set back to 59hz and turned on enhanced sync and enabled movie mode and set motion enhancement on. So yeah if you going to try gaming certain games at 120hz or some games at freesync under 60hz and turning vsync on or off u gotta like remember what settings u were last using or stuff will not work as intended.

                  @[Deactivated]: A warning from across the pond…
                  After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly succesful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit of a treat.
                  I ordered it well in advance and working in the North sea I considerd myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types…oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen.
                  I didn't have long to wait. At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel of in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid of and positioned it under me.
                  The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing soon returned .Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn't managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the drawer for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon.I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so.I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found it's way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running it's engines behind me. This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain.
                  The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before. unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering…" Ooooh that feels good ". Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn't heard her come in it caused an involutary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a sprout farted against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn't the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn't improve my status…So to sum it up Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect…:)

    I tried editing it as I forgot to explain what 10bit panels colour was and how its different from 8bit panels colour.. but as you had replied it didn't let me or something? meh well anyway 10bit and 8bit is in binary.. so 8bits is actually 256 values and 10bit is something like 1024 values for a colour. the light in TV is made up of Red Green and Blue. So you have 8bits for R, 8bits for G and 8bits for B which can all be multiplied with each other as light is additive, white light is all 3 RGB colours for example.. So an 8bit TV panel has 16million colours.. while a 10bit panel has 1.7billion colours. So its visibly a noticeable difference but for your TV to work best it needs to have video content that was actually filmed in 10bit HDR with a camera with a 10bit HDR sensor.. my LG v30+phone actually has a camera when set to 4k 24fps high bitrate can record in 10bit HDR so I can film ducks in the park and marvel at the beauty from the comfort of my home. If you are looking for a quality camera for some professional photography better than a phone I believe a Panasonic GH5 films in 10bit HDR too.. not too many cameras do at this point which is why its amazing my phone from last year can.. watch apple do it years later and cheer about how awesome apple products are and they only cost double the price pfft that's not a deal i'd buy. Point is you see all the amazing demos on the expensive TV's in stores and you get it home and it looks good but not 'amazing' when you watch stuff on your TV even though its the same TV. If you use my guide to setup a Samsung TV it should look 'amazing' like in stores but for pretty much anything your PC can display. Some games I've found which actually support HDR10 don't look as impressive when enabling windows 10 HDR for games setting than playing them in SDR does with the colours enhanced the way I explained above. Another thing, the latest Samsung TV's have HDR10+ but look specifically for HDR10+ or HDR10 or Dolbyvision on a TV when looking for HDR 10bit panel TV's as many many cheap TV's from other manufacturers invent their own mediocre HDR that's not compliant with the HDR10 or dolbyvision standards and has way less bright a screen for example like I heard some macbooks screen isn't really HDR as the nits weren't even 400 (brightness) the HDR in TV screens is how white whites and are how black blacks are thats all it means so brighter HDR nits means really bright white whites and darker blacks. Some expensive Samsung TV's you can buy lately that cost truckloads are like 4,000 nits bright while I think 2018 qleds are at least 1,500 maybe 2000 nits brightness on the HDR. most 4k discs are mastered in 1,000 nits brightness daylight is 10,000 nits brightness. the dolbyvision standard is futureproofed so it has a max of 10,000 and says it everywhere but the OLED TV's that support "Dolbyvision" are only like 800-900nits brightness tops I don't think they've even broken 1,000 nits yet. OLED panels blacks are good but the organic part of the technology is where it fails. a new tech called microLED is in some super expensive Samsung TV's all the benefits of OLED none of the problems so I'm not a hater of OLED I just don't like how they don't tell you about its image retention and faded blues and colourbleed as many people buy them without understanding its intended use and game or use them for PC's for long periods of time which will degrade picture quality sharply. customers demand more OLED panels.. look at the google pixel 2 phone it was LG's first OLED panel for a phone and google messed it up by rushing it to meet release schedule that has poor viewing angles and image retention/ghosting but my LG V30 the same panel was better implemented after some adjustments and came out shortly after and has better viewing angles and stuff. not all OLED panels are the same too. I believe while the V30 LG phone is OLED the G7 is LCD I think both screens have advantages just depends on the use intended I think more TV makers need to offer quantum dot alternatives to OLED in their high end.

    ok so i bought the tcl 55p6us about 2? 3? months ago. paid 1100 for it with 70$ cash back so $1030 really and let me tell you if i paid an extra 250 i could of got the samsung 55' which now i wish i did.

    i normally dont buy cheap brands but in this case i bought it because i love android tv. (side loading apps and what not) but now i wish i stuck with a good brand.

    lets start of with what my opinions are of this tv

    speakers sounds like a $10 speaker from kmart.

    design is really nice, steel frame and back.

    thin screen (because of edge lit display)

    tv says its ''HDR''. its defiently not. might aswell call it fake HDR

    the netflix app on the android tv is ok. HDR only content is terible to watch. it give that washed out colour when you watch it. the HDR is basically a filter really.

    you cant play stan in 4k because the tv isnt on the supported devices list.

    you can play netflix in 4k. looks ok and better than FHD but has no hdr.

    i will say this tv is great for FHD content (1080p) the picture quality is really good

    wish i knew what edge lit was before i bought this tv. if you're not sitting directly in front of the tv. the picture is s***. literally.

    Android tv is good if you like to watch free PPV's and movies on kodi and google chrome browers. (if you know how to access it)

    and i also dont recommend this tv for gaming as there is no HDR. i have the Xbox One X and cant tell the difference between 1080p and 4k. this is what the Xbox tells you about the tv.
    pretty sure a samsung 4k tv would have a tick on all of them.

    i highly dont recommend buying this tv. pay the little extra and get what youre paying for (4K HDR)

    Im not a costco member, how can I find out the normal TV prices?

    • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2018 - 21:07

      Costco pricing is in store only as they don't have pricings on a website as far as I could tell. So unfortunately unless someone walks around examining the cost of each item you won't know their pricings though in store they often hand out fliers with the specials of the week. I believe Costco warranty is supposed to be good for many products as long as you continue your membership with them then its like extending the warranty there were a few random items I bought from Costco that said lifetime warranty on them (a chair I think and a peppermill) but I may be incorrect its possible Costco warranty is limited to regular aussie consumer warranty.

    My brain still hurts…

    I was seriously impressed by the TCL C6US 65 in Costco.

    Had the best image out of all the units there, but the fools weren’t playing the same video so impossible to make an accurate comparison.

    Was more than enough to make me look seriously at it as a number 1 future tv contender

    • Aemit on 23/11/2018 - 08:36

      what was price for Samsung 75" ones?

      • Hoju on 23/11/2018 - 08:45

        can't recall sorry

      • ali55 on 23/11/2018 - 12:16

        $3299 as far as I remember (Had a look at them yesterday afternoon at Costco Moorabbin)

    • BaryGusey on 23/11/2018 - 17:39

      @Aemit - I posted price tag photos in the itunes thread the other day - didn't get the TCL though.
