Product Manuals
A: I just bought my TCL 5 days ago and I am experiencing a random power off every day also. This causes me to fail online games and everyone looses!
Q: Anyone experience the infamous banding issues with this TV?
A: No banding on mine. I hesitated to buy it because of all the fuss about it that I saw online. This is actually a major reason I bought it at Best Buy - they stock the 615 locally so I could pick it up and exchange it if necessary, without having to ship it off... plus I got a great deal on the Best Buy exclusive version, the 615. The 615 just lacks the voice remote of the 617 you see everywhere else.
A: If you Invert the legs, which I did, the width between the legs is only 28.5 inches.
Q: How far apart are the legs on the 55”? My current tv stand is only 39” .
A: For this 55 inch TCL Roku TV, the feet spacing to fit on a stand is 47.9 inches. Thank you, TCL Customer Support
Q: Is this T.V. worth the extra $150 over the TCL 5 series?
A: Absolutely. I purchased the TCL 5 series 55" and returned it after two weeks and purchased the TCL 6 series (55 inches). And right now, the difference in price between the TCL 5 and TCL 6 series at 55" is only $100. The difference is the screen. The 5 series sets - while good values- suffer a few significant shortcomings. First, the screen on the 5 series is lighted from the edges. You are never going to get really deep blacks with a screen that is backlighted from the edges. If you run a simple test (there are videos on YouTube) you will see a gray'ish background with areas that are brighter than others - usually at the corners. Running the same test on the six series you see a black screen. BLACK, not gray The other difference in brightness. And it ties in with black level. The five series can muster around 300 nits. The six series is 2-3x that, depending on how much of the screen. And finally - and perhaps biggest - is that the 6 series have local dimming (TCL calls it contrast control zones). This lets the TV adjust the brightness very specifically in small areas (I think it's 96 zones on the 55") Summing it up, for HDR (High Dynamic Range) to work effectively you need a screen that can get very dark and very bright in small, specific areas. The five series is a goof value for sure, but it simply can't get bright enough nor is it responsive enough to take advantage of HDR. It looks the same in HDR as SDR. Last - while TCL's sets (4, 5 and 6 series) all have a rather limited viewing angle, The 6 series is the best of the bunch on that score. My 5 series set if you moved away from directly in front of the TV even just a little bit the picture quickly degraded. This 6 series has a notably wider viewing angle sweet spot. It's not great. But it is certainly better.
A: The support article is correct. Once you connect the Roku Wireless Speakers to your TCL Roku TV you can connect Bluetooth capable smartphones, tablets, or computers. You cannot pair Bluetooth devices such as wireless headphones. However, you can download the free Roku app on your smartphone or tablet to use voice search, voice control, and experience private listening. To enjoy private listening you simply click private listening in the app, and attach headphones to your smartphone or tablet. Or you can use the 3.5 mm headphone jack in the back of the TV to connect standard headphones/Bluetooth headphones with a transmitter. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
Q: Does Best Buy sell the TCL Series 6 55" version with the voice remote?
A: This TV comes with a standard TCL Roku remote. However, you can download the free Roku mobile app on your smartphone or tablet to use with your TCL Roku TV. By using the app you can use voice search, voice control, and experience private listening. In addition, you will also gain access to more settings and Smart features. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
Q: Is this Dual Voltage (up to 220v) so that it will work in Europe?
A: All TCL Roku TVs are designed and engineered to be used within the US and Canada. They run 120V/60hz. Thank you, TCL Customer Support
