Fantastic Television
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So only had this Television for 3 days, and we have watched movies, live sports, and Television Shows; you could say we are average Consumers. I've always been a Samsung fan, this is my 1st purchase that was not that brand. I have to admit cost was a major consideration in this purchase. All I can say is... Wow. This is a fantastic Television. The picture quality is outstanding. TCL hit it out of the park on this one, homerun. Picture quality and for the price? I have no regrets on this Television. Keep doing your research on televisions, TCL is right up there in quality in my opinion.

Best of Both Worlds
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always loved the home theater experience. I'm also a lifelong gamer. Typically, for my main 4K TV, the price I had to pay for amazing picture quality was noticeable amounts input lag. No more with this TV. I can play my Xbox One X games in all their 4k glory with what feels like zero input lag. I've had to use specific gaming PC monitors in the past for this level of responsiveness. Even classic games, such as 1991's Super Mario World played via my Nintendo Switch - possibly the greatest test for input lag due to the low resolution of the source material - plays just as responsively as I remember. The picture quality is also excellent. Multiple versions of HDR support was an especially welcome addition. Easily the best TV I have ever purchased. Full disclosure, at the time of writing and purchase, I am employee at Roku. Though I did not personally work on this TV. Kinda wish I had though given how great it turned out.

Excellent display and features
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I should preface this review by saying this is my first “smart” enabled tv...having a Roku system built in is a great, convenient feature...now for the picture: I wish I had an OLED side by side to compare it to because to my eye, this set is on its own level and I’m not sure I’d be able to distinguish...the blacks are inky black and the tv gets exceptionally bright (which is a plus as this is in our upstairs family room with plenty of ambient light). Dolby Vision and HDR content is breathtaking. I thought out of the box, it looked pretty good but I’ve made a few settings adjustments on my own and think it looks really exceptional now. The TCL/Roku self calibrating app was really simple to use. I’ve never had a set professionally calibrated so I couldn’t tell you if it would be worth going above the free calibration app feature or not. I didn’t think the sound from the tv speakers was bad but I’m a little hard of hearing as is so I added the Sonos Arc soundbar and that really makes a nice difference. Lastly, at $999 on sale, I simply don’t think there’s a better value right now if you’re in the range for a 65” set

Amazing tv for amazing price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this tv on sale for $999 vs original price of $1999, which barely fit my budget but has been so worth it. The pros Beautiful picture Great sound Easily use my fire stick with it The picture is so amazing it’s worth mentioning twice. I sent my bf a picture of it and it looks like it could be used in a commercial for advertising how gorgeous the picture is. The cons Roku Can’t see the picture well at an angle (which is the trend for most flat screen TVs). Remote control use seems to have a short distance.

Best TV I've ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the last 6 weeks, I have bought 2 TCL Series 8 TV's, one was a 75 inch for my living room, as well as this Series 8 65 inch for my office. I also ordered a 3rd TCL TV today, a series 4 75 inch TV for my son's room. As for both this Series 8 65 inch and my TCL series 8 75 inch, these are flat out incredible TV's. Prior to this purchase, I would have never considered TCL because of their reputation for entry level TV's. But when I began shopping for a new TV and started reading various reviews by the very picky audiofiles, TCL's entry into the high end TV market, via the 8 series was making a big splash. Everyone was going nuts over this TV, and I now know why. First, it's built like a sherman tank, and the ROKU interface is outstanding. And as for picture, I've never seen anything like it, outside of OLED TV's. This TV is the closest to OLED that I have ever seen. I'm not one to write reviews, but I am so satisfied with both of my TCL Series 8 TV purchases, that I felt compelled to write a review

Dolby Vision greatness
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned the Vizio PX Quantum not because the picture was poor but because the input issues it has. Anytime switching inputs, the screen would go black with at a 5 second delay. This TCL still delays but it’s much snappier and the picture is on par or better than the Vizio PX Quantum. The display may not be quite as bright but the motion on it is fantastic and the colors are not as saturated. Definitely more realistic and the blacks don’t wash out quite as much. It also upscale a non 4k content nicely. Can’t wait til the NBA picks up again cause I know in sports mode this TV is going to shine. If you can find it on sale and in stock, do yourself a favor and pick up a set.

Very well built Smart TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is the best of both worlds. I was able to catch this TV on sale which made it affordable and the quality of materials and picture you get is amazing. While content that supports HDR or Dolby Vision isn't quite OLED levels it is really really close. There is some minimal halo effects I've seen so far in black scenes but that's just me being picky. The 65 inch model was heavier than what I read on the box so be careful mounting it.

Great picture, some flaws
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a lot of research, I decided to go with the TCL. First of all, the picture is like looking into the face of God! Very bright and vibrant. The smart TV features work very well. Just as impressive as the picture, is the sound. It is loud, clear and full of bass. The bad things about this TV are that it does not do motion well. I turned on all the motion smoothing settings that are built into the TV, but it still struggles. The other negative thing is it resets when switching between inputs sometimes. Bottom line on this TV is that it is great at the price I paid ($1000), but not worth the $2000 retail price.

Q: QuestionI have an LG OLED TV which I love but I can only watch with certain shows. I watch FOX News a lot and ended up getting a total Fox News Burn in on the bottom of the screen. Will this TCL TV be susceptible to burn in from station logos or video games?
Asked by JC.
- A:Answer I had the same issues as you with an OLED. The TCL won’t burn-in, but you may want to read my review.
Answered by JohnRockets
Q: QuestionWhat does the series number reference? I notice the price goes up the higher the number. Is it resolution?
Asked by theFred.
- A:Answer Not necessarily the resolution, but yes more options/features, better panel, so on. Quite a big jump from series 6 to 8, I have both and would say Series 8 price to value for me isn't there.

Q: QuestionWill the speakers still provide sound when a headset is plugged in? Same question for Bluetooth. My wife needs it loud, but I don't, so giving her a headset might be a solution.
Asked by SchaumburgBill.
- A:Answer Our TCL Roku TVs are currently not Bluetooth capable. However, you can download the free Roku 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. You can currently connect up to 4 phones with the Roku app to the TV, and everyone can connect to their own phone with wireless headphones to experience private listening. However, when using private listening, it will automatically mute the TV speakers. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support

Q: QuestionI have heard this TV has had a lot of problems since launch. Have there been many firmware updates to correct them?
Asked by Trickypat72.
- A:Answer I am loving this TV! It is everything I expected. When the screen goes to black, I could swear it has been turned off. It definitely has had updates. That's my only complaint at all. This is my first smart TV, so maybe it's completely normal, but about every 10-14 days it updates. I have to wait about 45 seconds for it to turn on, and it annoys me. According to your question, though, I think that's a good thing. It means something is being fixed or improved. This is definitely a first-world problem. Obviously I need to be more patient! I can highly recommend this TV!

Q: QuestionHow long is the power cable and which side does it attach to the TV? I’m going to mount this TV to the wall and need to run the power cable and HDMI through a shelf and down the wall around 8’.
