Good price for this TV at $1,445 plus you can get 2% cashback with CR or SB.
Android TV with good panel plus built-in soundbar.
Also if you call their sales number you can maybe get an even better price, I just called and got $1380.
Delivery was $55 but I opted for pickup.
Wow. $13 cheaper than GGC.
I have 55 inch version of this.
It’s good value but don’t expect perfection.
Android is a bit slow.
Doesn’t have the brightness needed for great HDR and Dolby experience.
Colours are good though
Sound is better than average due to sound bar.
I will recommend spending a few hundred more and get Hisense Q8.
Even Hisense Q7 got better picture compared to TCL
My Q8 has some dirty screen effect and The good guys have been a living hell to deal with.
STAY AWAY … They'll handball you to the manufacturer and ignore ACL.
Other than the DSE / gray uniformity I have to say it's great. Just hard to not get distracted by it.
But you'd also have to buy a chromecast or shield TV, and a sound bar. Sure you'd have a better Android and sound with those additions than the TCL but you've also spent another few hundred more on top of the few hundred more for the TV.
I like this TV as it seems like a good overall package for the price, good panel, good android, good sound. Sure you can improve each of those areas with a different purchase but you'd either have to pay a decent amount more of sacrifice one aspect.
Doesn't the 65Q8 have a soundbar?
Toms guide just put out an article about TCL Android TVs may have 'Chinese backdoor'. For anyone interested.
TLDR: TCL smart TVs running Android seem to have huge security holes and could even be designed to spy on users around the world. TCL response : Updating devices and applications to enhance security is a regular occurrence in the technology industry, and these updates should be distributed to all affected Android TV models in the coming days.
2021 TVs coming out in next few weeks
I've never liked the TCL tvs I've looked out - some of them are so dim they are useless in rooms with windows.
I looked at this model last year and it seemed the best value. I looked at a $1800 Sony as well, then the salesman said to get the best experience I needed the $2300 Sony. In the end it just seemed like upselling & I didn't buy anything. Still looking at buying an android tv before the olympics.
TODAY10 for further 10% off today only may work
I checked and it doesnt work, probably because already on discount.
For a cheap TV it's really well priced, visual quality is decent!
Ive seen this for $1200, the 75" for $1750 as they are runout models with microLED taking their place.
google it and checkout cosco too. jbhifi would price match the 75" C815 too but it was on back order
so i got the EKO from BigW for $899 and I have a soundbar built in is a0k with me on it and ill wait for microLED and 8K to drop in price!
the TCL 8K is $2500ish for 65" and $3500 ish for the 75" with sound too and its awesome! Fullaray too HDMI2.1 ect
I have an older 65" TCL with built in sound bar. Don't expect to be blown away but it's great to have speakers that sound a lot better than what you normally get.
Saves you having to have surround sound on all the time
