Movies are great on this though. No judder from 24p or 60p sources. Adequate nits. Decent contrast. Good upscaling of 1080p sources. Stutter could be a little better but not bad at all for a VA panel.
$250 after tax and it beats the $500 before tax Sony in a few aspects. TCL has good TVs at any size and price point. This was all I needed from a TV.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024Size: 55 inchesStyle: TV onlyVerified PurchaseI had been shopping for a new TV for several months, I had a long wishlist but my TV was still working okay - So I kept trying to save more money to get EVERYTHING on my list (I mean who doesn’t want everything on their list, right?).. Well then one day my TV just wouldn’t turn on again! UGGH then I was forced into a corner BEFORE I was actually ready to buy - But it was shortly before a holiday so I knew there would be sales coming up! After scouring the sales and comparing everything I settled on this Model.
This TV is a QLED with upscaling. Its a 4K TV with DOLBY ATMOS & other DOLBY formats as well as the other HDR Pro etc. It also has the ability to change the screen formatting for Cinematic experience or other screen viewing settings! You can choose various Audio formats as well from voice heavy to cinematic.The picture quality is AMAZING! It os so clear & crisp and from every angle! Gone are the days of having to be directly in front of the TV to habe a good viewing experience!! It is a GOOGLE TV which I have never had before, but I don’t mind it.. it guides you through the setup - AND I use Firesticks anyway - So it doesn’t matter much! I DO HOWEVER love the LIVE TV function better on the native TV than the Firestick so I use that regularly. Also the TV does have the ability to download & run all of your favorite apps like Hulu, Netflix , Prime, Max, Disney+, etc — I just didn’t because I was already signed in to them all on the Stick so it was just plug and play!
This TV is a FANTASTIC VALUE for the Money paid! I am extremely HAPPY with this TV and even HAPPIER with how much $$$ I saved by buying this vs the others that I was looking 👀 at!
My previous TV was also a TCL and I was very happy with it, until it just died & wouldn’t turn back on! I am a HUGE FAN of the TCL BRAND! You WONT REGRET THIS PURCHASE!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024Size: 65 inchesStyle: TV onlyVerified PurchaseUpdated:
It turns out that this TV has old, inadequate WiFi support that does not work well with modern WiFi systems that present the same SSID on both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands at the same time (thus letting the client chose which band to lock on to.)
To get reliable WiFi with this TV I had to change our WiFi settings to create a new "IoT" SSID on either the 2.4 or 5ghz bands (but *not* both) and then update the TV settings to use that new SSID. (I put mine on the 5ghz band.)
Fortunately my Netgear Orbi system was able to create that new, additional SSID and lock it to exactly one of the frequency bands (2.4 or 5ghz). Before getting this TV one should check that their WiFi hardware is able to do this.
When doing this you probably will need to restart the TV multiple times.
Neither Amazon nor TCL support was much help figuring this out.
Original:
We will probably return this - WiFi is unreliable (only way to use is via a Roku plugged in to HDMI)
We just got this new TV, TCL 65-Inch Q65 QLED 4K UHD Smart TV with Google TV (65Q651G, 2024 Model) and set it up yesterday.
Some points:
First:
This unit does not reliably connect to WiFi. It can see our networks, it can connect (sometimes) after a power reset, but often not. It looses the connection until the unit is power cycled and a fresh attempt made.
Our prior TV had no problem. The Roku that we have to use in order to use this TV connects to WiFi with total reliability.
We have excellent WiFi here (NetGear Orbi system) and no other device of any kind has any difficulty with our WiFi.
We are networking technologists, we are unlikely to have made any errors in the setup of the SSID or the access pass phrase - it is just that sometimes the WiFi works on this TV (for a while) and often it does not work. All other WiFi devices, including the Roku sitting right next to it, work fine while this TV struggles and fails.
This turns this unit, from our point of view into nothing but a dumb screen that we can use only via a Roku (that has no trouble with WiFi) plugged into one of the HDMI ports.
We did a software upgrade so we are running the latest release.
Basically this is unacceptable and if we can not resolve this we will simply have to return this TV for a refund
Second: The off-angle viewing range is rather limited. Off center viewing that was OK with our prior (Samsung) is blury with this unit.
Third: Google TV seems to be a repacking of YouTube with apps. It can be rather difficult to find content that is not part of the Google ecosystem. We actually prefer to use this unit via our tried and true Roku (which has no WiFi problems) via an HDMI connection. Google TV seems designed by and for children.
Fourth: Some of the controls are hard to find - like turning off Soap Opera mode can take a bit of digging. (In its default mode, old B&W movies looked awful.)
- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2025Size: 43 inchesStyle: TV onlyVerified PurchaseThe price looks too good to be true, the reviews say it’s one of the best on the market, I’m skeptical as anyone.
HAND ON HEART:
One of the best things I’ve ever bought, the colors, contrast brightness and quality you would easily pay double for. The surround sound emulation is second to none, lights out dolby on movie mode YES you’re in the movie theater.
My PS5 rocks with it, the tv recognize the PlayStation, and immediately turned on all its bells and whistles!
I can’t say enough good things about this, wish I could give it 6/5
Soon as my other HD’s go out I’m buying more of these!
