You won’t be disappointed
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I’m pretty happy with this TV so far. I had a Hisense U8G for a few weeks before needing to exchange it because of a defect in the panel and I will say the color accuracy is better on the R646 - I have no dirty screen effect and the bugs that were plaguing the unit upon its original release have not been troublesome for me. It doesn’t quite have that same pop in speculate highlights that the U8G did, but it’s a very well balanced and sharp image. I’m not a gamer, I’m here for accurate film playback and it does 24fps content nicely. I’d probably give it closer to a 4.5 if I could because the remote feels cheap and the operating system needs some tweaks but it’s still early in the lifespan!

Great gaming TV for the price
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.TV works great with my Xbox series X and being able to play at 120hz. It makes the gameplay feel so much smoother. This TV supports every new feature that the XSX has. The picture quality is very good, I came from a Samsung TV (KS8000) which still has very good picture quality but where the TCL beats it is the black levels. I was really impressed by how deep the blacks are. OLED TVs still have deep blacks but this is getting really close. You hardly see any graying when there black in the screen. As for some saying the apps are buggy, I have not encountered any issues at all. I've already used Netflix, Hulu, sling tv, Disney Plus, YouTube, Crunchyroll and several more and i have not had any issues. I also have a previous TCL with Roku and I can say the Google TV feela so much smoother. It's not perfect, it can definitely be a bit more organized. I haven't found a way to edit the app list so my most used apps are at the front but I'm sure the platform will continue to improve. I setup my soundbar immediately since I have a Vizio Dolby Atmos one so I have not used the speakers. I don't usually use them as i feel most modern sets don't have the greatest speakers. Overall all, this is definitely one of the best gaming TV's you can buy right now. Any of the next gen consoles will work perfectly with this tv.

Great TV That Flies Under Radar of Bigger Brands
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Extremely happy with this purchase from ease of ordering in BestBuy app to delivery tracking and delivery (done by third party in big box 18 wheeler moving truck). I was considering three 65” options: Samsung QN90A, LG C1 & TCL R646 and I am more than pleased to save the extra grand on more by getting this TCL. Coming from my 65” Samsung KS8000 from 2015, this TV excels in clarity, brightness and unformity. Google TV rounds out the positive experience by giving this TCL TV many great settings and options to perfect your user experience. I really set this TV as a “Dumb TV” by turning off most of its “smart” or “AI” functions and use an AppleTV / Xbox Series S and Panasonic DP420. Couldn’t be more happy maybe other than having the money to spend on a 75” LG C1 OLED.

Great TV But, still has a few software bugs
||Posted .Great TV Overall! The picture is stunning colors and the mini-LED is great. However, my one criticism is the software needs some debugging, as the remote microphone doesn't work with all apps in the Google TV software for example works with Google assistance, but the microphone is unresponsive in apps like Youtube and Disney +. I'm hoping this is a bug that can be fixed in the near future otherwise I would consider returning the TV. See the image below showing the bug with microphone usage in apps.

Q: QuestionHow many stand width increments for spacing are available? Is it just narrow and wide or are there several widths to choose from?

Q: QuestionDoes Stadia work natively with these TVs?
Asked by PingPongPerry.
- A:Answer Yes it does. And compared to a Chromecast Ultra, input latency is dramatically reduced. I'm a sensitive PC gamer and playing on the Chromecast, I could always feel the lag. With the Stadia App on this TV, I felt like I was playing locally. Much better than before. You will need to download the app as it doesn't come preinstalled.
