Been looking for TV like this. Maybe someone can comment how this compares to the $699 ALDI one for sale on Saturday? Warranty on the TCL is certainly 2 years longer.

Mod 12pm: Only a limited amount of stores have stock remaining. Delivery seems mostly unavailable.

    How does this compare with the Samsung or Hisense QLEDs? It's been a while since I've looked at TVs it seems a bit a minefield!

    • AN Other on 16/07/2020 - 14:50

      We have the 55" model. I won't offer any direct comparison with those brands, but I will say the picture quality is outstanding for the price. The android back end can be a little slow to boot up at times, but once up it is smooth enough. I think it's horses for courses; it's not on the same level as an LG OLED for $4K, but for most situations this is a bloody good TV.

  • CaffeinatedTech on 16/07/2020 - 08:50

    What does the Q stand for? Quality? or Quite cheaper than OLED.

    • giventofly on 16/07/2020 - 09:20

      Stands for Quad Ultra HD, so 16K TV for under $900!

      Nice!

      • inherentchoice on 16/07/2020 - 10:59

        No I believe it's only a 4K UHD.

        From Google search:

        QUHD TV is a high-end product category launched by TCL in 2016, equipped with top picture quality processing technologies such as Quantum Dot, slim local dimming and HDR, as well as the supreme entertainment technologies integrated with innovative industrial design, high-standard speakers and the TV+OS

    • jaymzrsa on 16/07/2020 - 09:32

      Don't know what it stands for, but it is Samsungs competitor to OLED. Where OLED used organics and no backlighting, QLED uses multiple zones of leds to achieve their version of OLED. You get pretty good results and very high contrasts but not quite as good as OLED. There are benefits too though as some OLEDS are prone to burn in and OLED aren't as good for gaming and other content.

      • CaffeinatedTech on 16/07/2020 - 09:44

        Oh its Quantum Dot? So it is a Samsung panel? Price seems pretty good for that size.

        • phxsun on 16/07/2020 - 10:20
          +2

          Not exactly. Quantum Dot is sort of an umbrella term now for a technology which Samsung popularised (or invented, not sure) and now others like Hisense and TCL are employing a similar tech but using the same Quantum Dot label. So they do the same sort of thing but not necessarily to the same degree/quality and certainly not a Sammy panel.

          QLED TV's are seen as inferior to OLED and by most measures it is (picture quality, contrast, viewing angles etc) but it's still dependent on the individual consumer need. If the TV is in a bright room and you're watching the TV during the day, a QLED which can project a much brighter picture than the brightest OLED might be a better option, as it was for me. Likewise a QLED that has full array local dimming, will get pretty good results in the dark as well.

        • jaymzrsa on 16/07/2020 - 10:30
          +1

          QLED is the technology used and does not mean that any Samsung part/panel is used, just that they are licensing the use of the technology (although it does not stop them from using Samsung parts).

          EDIT: Slightly wrong, "QLED is a similarly small brand landscape. Samsung is part of a modest consortium of three manufacturers, called the QLED Alliance, that formed about two years ago.The others are Hisense and TCL, which are much less common in the U.S.

          Samsung owns the U.S. trademark to the term QLED TV, so even if other manufacturers use quantum-dot technology, they either need to license it from Samsung (as do Hisense and TCL), or call it something else."

            @jaymzrsa: Its such a bad trademark practise. Its trying to confuse buyer into thinking they are getting an extremely cheap and (shitty) OLED. Scummy of samsung to do. Sony has had Triluminous for so long. Crappy brands like samsung are just copying. For the record they never invent anything. QLED is just their anti-consumer marketing and its worked better for them than Sony as people think its OLED.

          OLED is way better tech than having an LED array backing panel.

        Save your money……..by spending 4 times that on an OLED. Got it

        • Damonator84 on 16/07/2020 - 16:20

          Nah… just buy a 750 dollar LED TV each year for four years, instead of outlaying the initial amount of money at once for an OLED and be happy from the first purchase. OLED is far superior.

          Pretty sure TCL "motion rate" is double the actual Hz, so 200 = 100hz & 100 = 50hz

    • AN Other on 16/07/2020 - 14:53

      In my humble opinion the S is in a different league to the M. We returned an M after a week as we weren't impressed with the picture quality. The S is on a par with any set under $1K, and a lot above.

            • 1st-Amendment on 17/07/2020 - 09:19

              @TheAccountant: That has nothing to do with the frequency of the wireless signal.
              Both frequencies support over 100Mbps, and streaming requires no more than 25Mbps max.

              • TheAccountant on 17/07/2020 - 09:59

                @1st-Amendment: I know that but most of the mobile devices in my house favour the 2.4ghz band so 5ghz is less congested and hence offers better bandwidth.

                I'd switch them all but the ISP supplied router is spotty in the garage at the front of the house on 5ghz so that's a no go. I've left all the non-mobile devices on 5ghz except the TCL TV for obvious reasons.

I've tried every trick in the book, but just can't get the TV's shit software to not crash.
