I got 10.745", which, again, is in line with tcl's measurements (10.7").

Yeah it's a shame , does anyone know if there are any plans to do so?
I think Thomson is distributing TCL in Europe, you should take a look at their models.
OK, do not remember seeing Thomson in the UK for years, I guess it's possible they could release under another name in UK.
Little under 2x actually, 65" B7s and C7s are routinely $1899 these days, 55" $1199. Whether it is worth it is up to you.
The TCL models in Europe are different.
There's no equivalent for the US exclusives here.
Ah, typical! Never heard of them before but the sound pretty good.
Awesome!
Thank you for checking that out for me. It bugged me that I could never get mine calibrated and I just wanted to make sure the TV didn't magically fix that.
thanks!
I would have to invert the feet. Seen some pics on AVS forum in which people have done that.
As I said in my initial post, you cannot do that out of the box (at least with the 55"). There is a little indent that aligns with a peg on the tv that ensures the feet can only go on in the outward facing orientation. You could potentially modify it, but that has inherent risks.
How much of the feet actually make contact with the ground? My stand is 47.5", I've got a 55" on the way, and up until now I thought I could invert the feet:/ A quarter inch in each side isn't bad if the feet make 2" of contact...
I've been enjoying my 55P605 and my 49S405. Looks forward to reviews. Been thinking about buying a third TCL.
Looking t the tv from the front (the way you would look at it while watching it), I would say the feet have less than an inch of contact. Looking at it from the side, the feet maybe have an inch. It is certainly pushing the limits on my tv stand.
Here are some pics of the legs to help you visualize.
Also, here are some pics of either side of where the feet attach to the tv. Hopefully you can see what I am talking about with the indent in the second picture.

I'm getting my 65 inch tomorrow and it'll be a huge jump for me considering I'm coming off of a 2009 Sony Bravia 1080P 40 inch.

Thanks a lot for this. I wouldn't be surprised if your stand was 47.5" too. I'm hoping mine will work out...
No, the stance on the 65" is longer. I think 55"?
out of the box you cannot on the 55", maybe you can on the 65" but I do not have that model.
Been using the 55" for a day now. Impressions (not an A/V nut so this is coming from your average consumer POV):
Nice iterative improvement overall. The brightness is the biggest step up and is much appreciated if you have your TV in a brighter living room like I do. Shame that it catches glare like crazy though but that's something that can be controlled at least.
- Overall much brighter than the 2017 model. Better viewing angles too; I was seeing color loss from the sides of my sofa previously but this wasn't noticeable on the new version. GoW really pops!
- The TV is noticeably thicker and boxier than last year's model, the aluminum frame definitely added to it. I like how it looks though, adds a cool industrial feel to it.
- Sound is definitely bass-ier compared to the 2017 iteration, which I don't particularly enjoy because it makes voices sound muffled. Trying to figure out if this is something I can tweak.
- Supposedly there's a hair more input lag on this model but I didn't notice. Have a PS4 Pro hooked up to it and Game Mode turned on and both God of War and Yakuza 6 feel super responsive.
- I didn't have to mess with alpha or color settings this time, which was surprising. The TV looked "right" out of the box, though I'm sure someone will come out with tweaks that'll make this TV shine even more in the future.
- The new motion modes are great. There's one that reduces judder on 24fps sources that works remarkably well.

overall I would say I am impressed. The build quality is good so far, the interface is great, image quality seems pretty good (very bright when it needs to be and the blacks seem pretty good [for comparison I have never had an oled tv, but have had multiple oleds phones and an old Panasonic plasma]). The one thing I will say that is a negative is that there is some discernable patterning on the screen. I want to say more pattern but I am not sure if that is the correct term. No matter what it is called, I could certainly see gray uniformity not being the greatest.

Coming from a 43X800D I'm pretty damn amazed at the upgrade. Pretty much everything about this set is better, and HDR content looks way better. The OS is WAAAAAAAAy better too, which seems like a small thing but is actually really big.
I really underestimated the size different between 43 and 55. This thing is huge!
Thanks for all the impressions so far. I am on the fence. Looking to upgrade from my 7-8 yr old Sony 52' inch 1080p 120hz tv. My biggest concern is going down to a 60hz panel I am not a fan of any motion modes . Hate the "soap opera" look. Evene on my current tv i have noticed some stuttering on the original Planet Earth Bluray and even on the ticker that goes across the bottom of the screen on ESPN.
Weird you can invert feet on 65inch but not on 55 inch. Thanks TCL :( lol

Just placed an order for the 55 in version for pickup at Best Buy with date of Wednesday of this week. Pretty excited, so many games I held off on due to not having a 4K screen!
preordered the 65" at BB before it went out of stock, delivery date is end of May. Moving into my condo in June so that kinda works out for me. Was initially planning to put it in the living room but may end up getting a housemate down the line and now I'm worried a 65" is too large for my bedroom haha. Maybe I should just switch to the 55"...
I'm curious how much clearance there will be between the 65'' and the surface it's sitting on. I have my PS4 Pro sitting to the side of my current TV but with the extra length I won't have space there anymore. I'm hoping there's enough clearance that I'll be able to sit my PS4 under it. Anyone know the measurement? My TV arrives Monday, super excited!
I cannot say for the 65" model, but there is a gap that is a little less than 3 inches beneath the 55" model and my stand.
The gap on the 55" is 2.5" according to TCL. Doing the math on the specs with and without stand, the 65" is 2.9". I'll be curious to see if my Xbox one s fits underneath my 55" as they're both 2.5"
So I ordered the 55 inch from Amazon on Thursday and it shipped yesterday afternoon and after everything updated it says that the weight of the package is 72lbs. Is it me or does that feel really heavy for a 55 inch television?
mine is 72lbs also coming with "pilot"
maybe box inside a box?
Spec sheet. 38lbs for 55inch with stand

Plugged the 55 into my PC and goddamn GTA5 looks insanely good at 4K. Colors looked a little bit dimmer on Windows compared to PS4 and the video apps though, maybe needs a color profile.
PS4 Pro fits underneath it so an Xbox should. Never had one but I assume it's gotta be smaller.
It involves using price matching with a credit card, chase or discover purchase protection. Call in to buy dig or beach camera, they'll sell you one for $1900, then use purchase protection to tvsuperstores which should have it at $1400-1500 and your cc company will refund you $400-500.
Same. Playing on a dinky 24" monitor just doesn't feel the same.
Of course I let my old Chase account card expire last month. Still good to know. That is a good price. Thanks.

I got the 55R615 Saturday and I have to say that Battlefield 1 never looked better.
First 4k TV and it has excellent HDR in my opinion.
Great news if so. The brightness was my only complaint for HDR.
Mine actually came in yesterday at Best Buy. I got a 55" and I must have hit the panel lottery, this thing is beautiful and so much better than the P series I bought last year. Only have slight darker edges, which is super normal. It seems so much brighter and the build quality is fantastic.
Hard to show anything on a picture in the dark with a phone but heres a part of Planet Earth on netflix.
