TCL - 65" Class 6 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Roku TV

I am very satisfied with my new TCL ROKU television and the overall experience with Best Buy‘s ordering and delivery process and would recommend it to anyone that asks! Communication, scheduling, and delivery were all handled professionally and on time! I’ve had the TV set up for a few days now and prior to any calibration, I am very impressed with the picture quality and features. Features I really like: - You can connect a USB Thumb Drive to the USB port and use it to pause live ANTENNA TV for up to 90 minutes ( a great overlooked and rarely mentioned feature)! - Though this TV doesn’t come with a voice remote like its 65R617 counterpart, you can still use an existing one from other Roku devices (in my case I used the one from my now unnecessary Roku 4) or purchase one separately to pair with your TV! Works like a charm! - Free Roku App has voice, headphones, and remote control features to operate your television via your smart phone or tablet! Works flawlessly for me! - Alexa integration works great once you set it up properly (took me a few tries due to having previous Roku devices that conflicted). Once setup, I can now tell Alexa to turn the TV on and off, adjust the volume, change the channel and inputs, etc. I have my Yamaha 4K ready receiver, Xbox one X, and Apple TV all connected to my TCL Roku TV with no problems from any device. All receiving 4K and HDR / Dolby Vision signals via applicable programming from Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and recently HULU as well! Even antenna TV for local channels and my composite video connected basic cable box look very good on this television! I Purchased this TV previously from Rakuten but had to return it due to a defective screen. The 2nd time around I went with Best Buy and am so glad I did. Not only did I end up getting a better price by about $60, but delivery was also free, very professional, and on time. As a Best Buy rewards member, I also got some points on top of that. Overall, A great experience, a great TV, and the best value, video quality, and feature set for the price! Get this TV on sale if you can, but even at regular price it’s a deal!

INTRO: I have had this tv for 6 days now. Prior to purchase, I spent hours on youtube researching what I wanted, even spending time in the Burlington, NC store to see images of TV's in person where security was called on me, I guess research is suspicious. Everything looked amazing and the only tv I researched not displayed was the TCL R615. I was set on the samsung q6f but took my shot with TCL after all the hype for the price. PROS: This picture is amazing. I used YouTube to find the best picture settings and the brightness may not be considered high end but watching movies in a dim or dark room makes me squint on bright highlights, explosions, etc. And the first time the tv went black, I thought it cut off and all blacks are that way. If it's suppose to be black, it surely is. I love planet earth and blue planet and to watch these in 4K HDR on this tv will make you want to buy it immediately. The roku system is easy to use and the roku app for your phone gives some added features making it even easier and nicer all together. The app will become your smart remote. Navigating menus is very easy. Overall, Picture and Usage is ***** (5star) CONS: 5hrs. after hooking this tv up, it developed 2 stuck pixels. I noticed them turning on a wide screen movie by luck but tv is so bright that after watching content even for a few seconds, my eyes can't adjust for a while to even find those pixels. Next is motion, the interpolation is horrible. Ghosting, artifacts, out right disappearing. Watch blue planet with smoothing on medium, birds flying over the ocean would disappear and come back. Slow scenes on Venom for instance has lots of ghosting and artifacts. I basically turned it off and use the natural cinema feature. I don't get the soap opera affect I like but the picture is amazing. CCONCLUSION: I've fought myself for the last few days to take this tv back and get the q6f like I wanted initially but it keeps coming back to the picture and unless you have $2000+ I just don't think you'll come close to it. If I go for q6 I lose picture quality for better motion and yes I game but I'm a visual person and I choose picture over motion.

This panel worked well for about a year. 14 months into owning the set it started to exhibit a strange issue. When the panel is turned on it would no turn the backlight on. If you get close to the panel you could make out the image and you could hear the sounds of the menu navigation, however the panel would not be lit up. After resetting the panel I am able to resolve the issue but only for another day or so and it starts happening again. I have tried several troubleshooting steps and even tried working with TCL. After gathering information about my situation and acknowledging that I was a mere 2 months past my warranty they informed me I am out of luck. I am not stuck with a panel that sometimes works. Incredibly displeased. I cannot recommend TCL and would advise that you save yourself the stress and find another company that will go the extra mile when the have a known issue. I understand that any company can bad units ship. I understand that there are probably many TCL units out there now that have years and years of flawless service. However, my specific experience with them and their inability to acknowledge a manufacturing defect that can be seen with a quick google search, has led me to never purchase from them again. I hope this review saves at least one other person from my situation.

This TV is fantastic. Exactly what I wanted. Easy to set-up, easy to program. Very happy with the features and functionality. The picture definition is great! Sound is just okay, so I added a simple soundbar to bring the audio up to snuff (mute the TV, play audio through the soundbar). Unfortunately, the big limitation is that any wireless speakers require the ROKU speakers first. And the drawback of the wireless ROKU speakers, is that you still need to plug in for power. So my attempt at having a 'wall-painting/no-wires' look for the TV is limited by the thin optical cable connecting my optical output to the soundbar (unless I wanted to mount the soundbar right up next to the TV, which I think would distract from the clean look of the TV itself. I guess I could have paid for a higher-end sleeker soundbar... Alternatively, I would have to punch holes in the walls to hard-wire the speakers, or else put the speakers in various locations in the room which isn't optimal for my setup). There are multiple HDMI ports, which allowed me to set up a wireless HDMI, as well as additional cables for gaming platforms, and still keep the wireless HDMI transmitter and extra cables tucked behind the TV so they are out of sight. Overall, happy with my purchase. I thought a 65" screen would seem bigger, but I guess I have a big wall.

Received and mounted this TV in the last week, Overall I am very pleased with the picture quality and styling of the TV ... it is a good looking unit. My only gripe is with a tiny screw lying loose within the casing, which makes me wonder what else could be lurking within. TV seems to be working perfectly and is wall mounted, so I am not seriously considering a return, but wanted BestBuy and TCL to be aware of this quality assurance issue. Hopefully both companies read this review. I am attaching a couple of photos of the tiny loose screw visible through the bottom grille of the TV.

I was looking into upgrading from my 55 inch TV to a 65 inch for gaming on my PlayStation 4 Pro. I came across the TCL 65 inch 6 Series in store and I'm so glad I did! The picture quality is amazing on this TV for the price. The remote isn't the greatest, but I don't use it much with the PS4. I utilize the PS4 remote to power on the TV and have the power saver mode turn it off once I turn off the PS4. The TV has been going strong for the past 4 months (lots of gaming due to COVID-19). Below is the breakout of the connections for this TV. -3 HDMI inputs (HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2) -1 analog video input -1 USB port (2.0) -Ethernet -1 headphone jack -1 optical digital audio output -1 RF antenna input

I waited a few days to write this review until I felt I could give an honest review. I have had Samsung TVs for the lat 10 years and loved them. However, this TV has unbelievable picture quality and a ton of settings. I love that you can set separate pictures settings for game consoles (this TV has a "game mode" and eliminates input lag). The speakers are actually pretty good for a thin TV bit I did purchase an LG soundbar and sub woofer for better sound. I love that it has a built in Roku. Keeps from having to connect a separate device. TV is super easy to set up as well.

I did some research before buying a new TV and the TCL 2160p came up in every review as a great TV. I'm very satisfied with this TV, it is better than I thought. The price was incredible for the size, picture, sound and overall quality. I got rid of cable and this is the perfect TV if you no longer want to pay for cable. If you do have cable it's still great for that plus you have more options. I can't get over the picture quality, it's amazing. At night I adjust the settings to dark because it picks up so much color, that's not a bad thing. The wall mounting can be tricky but read the instructions and you will get it. I recommend this TV 100%.
