Direct LED VA panel with FALD (330 zones) and 1300 cm/m2 peak brightness.

I have this TV and can vouch for its quality. Fantastic value for money. Default colours were way off so make sure you tune the colours and especially contrast to your liking. Refresh rate is great (I believe this is 120 Hz panel) and also black is deep with no ugly artifacts around edges etc. It's almost as good as mini LED even though it's not technically mini LED due to reduced no of dimming zones. Highly recommended at this price point, no brainer really.
I have this TV and calibrated it as well, awesome value. Reflection handling isn't great tho.
But this is 2yo now, the c755 should get good discounts soon and the c7k has just been released
if it were me I'd get newer models
Was at Good Guys yesterday they had 4 x 855s left. Surely some TCL specials coming very soon.
Just to list some of the features of this 745 Pro model:
144 Hz refresh rate
200 CMR
HDR10+
Dolby Vision IQ
750 Kwh per year (5 star energy)
Full Array QLED
Built in Sub Woofer (surprisingly good sound)
HDMI 2.1Most of above are pretty close to C755 model.
Any settlings you recommend?
If you do not know what you are doing, at the most basic level, disable motion smoothing and put picture preset to Standard straight out of the box. Almost everyone in the world (apart from techy people in the know) actually hates calibrated TV settings (it's too yellow man, it''s too dark man, looks worse man, I prefer it on Vivid settings bro).
After 3 months of use, then you can start tinkering with the settings as the LCD has had time to cycle many times and 'settle'. Then start looking for calibrated settings for your TV online if you do not know how to eyeball it. You will hate the calibrated settings for the first month but after a while you will come around and will never use the Standard or Vivid settings. Most of the online calibrated settings shared by users comes close enough to a better visual experience than the default settings BUT you won't like it in the beginning after calibration and it will take your eyes and brain a while to readjust to what a 'better picture is'.
ignore the other guy telling you to use "standard"
Movie mode, disable all enhancements, for motion use 4 in each slider
Color: warmest temperature available (that's 6500k)
Brightness: around 20, +-10 with quick action shortcut for night / bright day viewing
Gamma: 2.4 if on new firmware, or +2
backlight at mediumfor HDR, brightness/contrast at 100% of course, disabled tone mapping, backlight at max, same gamma
to improve on that you need pro calibration
They won't like it. It will be too jarring for them. Keep it at Standard for 3 months then change. Will also give time for the panel to settle before calibration.
What settings did you change it to?
yeah not ATL but still cheaper than the rest of competition
This is good, but we should wait for a deal on the C755, right?
Key metrics for me would be lack of burn in, lack of reflection/glare, onboard sound, speed of turning on, speed of accessing apps and settings, power consumption.
C755 is Almost gone across NSW atleast
I’ve been looking around for a 65” C755 and can price match Retravision for $1,195. Is that a good price?
honestly that a good deal. Mini-led and at 65" but the best bang for buck is the 85"
Doink I meant the C855 - I've seen some comments around here that they should be going on clearance soonish?
It a runout model. C8K should coming to Australia very soon. The C6K and C7K is already here
98”, 855, less than $5k. Where are you?!
98" 755 less than $3k, where are you?
reasonable people, where are you ?
Not on ozbargain
should've bought during this sale, don't think its getting cheaper as its a runout: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/895661
Need some good 75 inch deals for all us poor people with small lounge rooms
Yeah where they at??? Waiting on C855
Got this in 75 inches and I thinking of getting the 85.
Your post gets me curious, do people ever buy second hand TV's? If yes then is Facebook marketplace/Gumtree the only spots to list them? Hate FB (hard to stay calm getting some offers).
Marketplace is where to sell such goods secondhand unfortunately. It's pretty much the go to destination for used goods.
I've bought plenty of TVs through Facebook marketplace, always been a good experience. However never larger than 65 inch. I think 75+ becomes too difficult to transport in a car. It's unlikely that people have kept the original packaging…
I got a 98"C755 and the pentonic is not fast enough to decode xCloud gaming on the go despite having 1000/50 FTTP connection. Now on the panel front, it decent value per size. Would be better to get C755 as mini-led is the better technolgy
Hopefully the Trump Tariffs will decrease US demand and divert shipments to rest of the world including AU
Mate we don't even make TVs here
Yeah? I didn't say we did? But maybe we should. Just a thought.
@marshmall0w2: Everything Trump does is just a thought like that but he has actual power for some reason.
@nathand: Maybe it's time to go against the status quo. I thought everyone has been wanting that for the longest time. He's been a president that's less PR-driven than Obama, and less background-entity than Biden. I'm personally excited for what's to come. Old inefficient companies out, more efficient companies and newcomers in.
@marshmall0w2: More like all these people who spend their whole lives working and blaming their problems on the status quo, that if only the status quo was changed so that they could make decisions, everyone would be happy.
Except those people have proven to be actually more incompetent and worthless at making leadership decisions and there's a reason they're better off being governed by smarter people or people that have more vision than "I don't care what or how, I just want change, I can't think of a fully formed idea in my head".
Even when the proof hits them, they'll just say "No way, it's fine, good things are gonna happen to good people and bad things are gonna happen to bad people" because they can't accept that they were wrong the whole time and avoid responsibility the same way they accuse their leaders of doing except more pathetically because they don't actually have a skills portfolio or a position of power to lose.
@sofasty: That goes for everyone and anything. But why do you think things are going wrong, when they've been going wrong for decades anyway? It's time to change. The US is undergoing some of the biggest changes ever.
@marshmall0w2: Define "things are going wrong and have been going wrong for decades". Its a loaded statement. It implies things that been getting worse and worse for decades when it's not true. Unemployment is still low at 4%, Australian stock market still grew and hit all time highs even after covid, stupidly obvious social progress like gay marriage being legal only just happened in 2017, just 8 years ago, Australian life expectancy is still at all time highs. The gap between Indigenous Australia health is still a problem but many of their health outcomes are improving. https://www.indigenoushpf.gov.au/Report-overview/Overview/Su… . I was disappointed in The Voice referendum not passing but why does that mean that erases all other progress?
Or are you thinking, "everything in the past decade or two, because it doesn't match the dream I had" so all the progress until now means nothing.
What exactly have you done to change things? Do you think the people who worked to get this progress gave up because they didn't all they wanted at once?Or do people just want to think about their favourite period drama like a season of Neighbours and imagine the world back then was as cosy as ever. What year exactly was so much better? Are talking when we were teenagers with no responsibilities?
@sofasty: I am talking about the general sentiment both in the US and in Australia, that things are looking bleaker and bleaker. You cannot deny that prices have gone haywire through greedflation. Homelessness is at an all time high. Jobs are scarce and hard to come by in reality no matter how much the official numbers for "job figures and unemployment rate" say. Despite these bleak outlooks, the stock market went all time high, as if a slap to our faces.
I'm saying that maybe this is the change we are looking for. That the stock market crash is what we are looking for. A pump in the stock market didn't correspond with an improvement in our situation. It just made already-wealthy people wealthier. The output GDP per capita or not isn't dependent on how many people have jobs but on raw output, which may be due to automation, or wealthy people just making other wealthy people wealthier.
All this is to say, if things are dire and no change is made and no status quo is challenged, then who's to say that the current atmosphere of change is wrong, given that we haven't experience this situation with the given circumstances yet?
After almost 12 months with the 65" TCL C745 I am certain I will not buy another. We don't have a TV antenna but connecting solely with an ethernet cable. We are on a 100 / 20 NBN plan so the download speed is more than adequate however whilst much of the time the TV reception is fine there are occasions when for no apparent reason the program we are watching will just stop and the TV will return to the home screen. Not only if this frustrating but often when trying to reload the program the TV will just freeze. At that point we will not only have to turn the TV off but have to turn it off at the power, wait for a short time and then turn the power back on, return to the channel, and wait for it to connect.
The end result is I won't be buying another TCL TV no matter the price.Have you tried factory resetting the TV? Otherwise I recommend buying a Amazon Firestick, Chromecast, Apple TV to bypass TCL Software.
I've been using C745 Pro (this listing), which is slightly different from C745 and haven't had any issue whatsoever. I've been vary about Google interface but it's been smooth and fast. No dramas.
Was watching TCL reviews tonight and saw something about this bug, must be farely common
you clearly have a dud then, i have a 755 and it is perfect, i dont't use a roof antenna either and i sometimes use ethernet, never had a single issue, but just so you know, you can literally get a set of rabbit ear antenna for about $30 and it will definitely pick up every station, for the money, TCL are amazing
Any particular antenna you recomend? My roof one seems to be getting worse every month. Bought one of these style ones from ALiexpress: https://www.amazon.com.au/360%C2%B0Reception-Television-Deta… But it simply does not work. Doesn't pick up a single channel.
it might depend on what area you live in, but for me,they all work, problem with them is, there is only one exact "sweet spot" where they get every channel, if you change the way you are holding your tongue you will lose the channels, as long as you already have the channels "discovered" and they are on your channel guide, then you just keep moving it around till you find that right spot and right angle, it sometimes comes down to millimetres, then just never move it or even bump it
Got this down to $1679 using live chat. Won't budge to anything further down.
Was supposed to arrive today.
Then got a SMS saying transport issue :(
Thanks OP!
will be delivered on Thursday!
Haven't had a Tv for around 3 years, and had a council day- side of the road 42" before that so this will surely be a great upgrade 👍1395 and I will buy 2
This is insane value for a great tv. Much better buy than that LG from yesterday.
