yeah like the x900f this saves a little space on tv stands. helpful for those with smaller tv stands
I want this TV so bad but I have to wait unfortunately. Hopefully the supply isn't horrible in the coming weeks/months.
Well this was the day I was waiting for. Ordered the 55" from Amazon, should be here May 8th. I missed the first set of TVs this morning but there was a restock around 11:25AM EST Time that I snagged one from. to move on from an old 1080p 32" Vizio to 55" 4K HDR, my PS4 Pro can finally stretch its legs.
I read somewhere that these prices are "introductory prices" and might increase later? I'm definitely interested in grabbing a set but I'm moving in the summer and don't want to buy a TV until I'm fully settled, probably around August. Any risk that prices increase between now and then?
I'm also seeing a few reports of the introductory pre-order price online, so it probably comes directly from their press release.
Edit: https://www.tclusa.com/about-us/press-releases/tcl-6-series-availability
It's in their press release above.
I think they did this last year on the Amazon p607 sku where it was available at $599.99 at launch but went up to $649 afterwards I think. BB pricing remained $599 though (albeit with the cheaper remote).
Just wondering where you saw 55" available later?
Edit:
Nvm, looks like 55 inch will still be available at Best buy, just getting listed later in afternoon.
Sweet I can wait till it gets stocked in store was worried for a bit 55 was Amazon exclusive.

Damn I'm really tempted to get the 65". I need to know about peak brightness and how it handles glare though since I'm wanting to put it in a sunroom. You guys seen anything yet in this regard?
that , plus considering an extended warranty is the only reason I haven't picked it up yet.
but the hype is real!
So are these new TVs technically better than my Samsung KS9000? I still really like my TV, but I'm constantly reminded of it's subpar local dimming performance (blooming) when displaying certain dark scenes
I'm good with my p605 until the next round of TVs come out with all them new fancy HDMI 2.1 features at a reasonable price. Then I'll upgrade to 65" too.
Are most high end TVs this year including 2.1?
Either way, really nice to see Vizio and TCL putting out some amazing budget sets. TV value has improved so damn much over the years lol

Lol I did that with my Samsung ages ago. Most of the time there is a little nub you have to cut off so it fits on the inverse but works great. Never understood why it has to have the feet go past the footprint of the tv.
No TV releasing right now has 2.1. There are features of HDMI 2.1 that can be used with 2.0B like VRR or Auto Low Latency Mode that manufacturers like Samsung are already adding.
2.1 really is for 4k120 and up, including 8k60. It's going to be a slow roll out because the standard really is future facing rather than for the here and now.
Just going off tcl Twitter it says store availability around end of May.
Which stores not sure, should be at least Best Buy though.
Pre-order prices? I'll be bummed if it's a big difference. I had in cart this morning and didn't immediately pull trigger.
Guys, YMMV but I just picked up a 55" at Costco for $429 pre tax. Guessing they're unloading before the new model. If you're looking to save some money, can't really be beat.
last year it was $50 difference on Amazon but Best Buy price never changed. thinking maybe the 65inch price goes up more than the 55 tho
I hear ya, but saving close to $200 on it kind of makes any differences kind of negligible (to me)
hoo boy. That just might be worth it as a holdover until HDMI 2.1.
I didn't mean to come off as negative, I'm genuinely curious. That's a great deal. I absolutely would've taken advantage of it myself.
I don't think the S403/5 has ever been $600 there. To my knowledge they've never carried the P.
What he said VVV
costco doesn't sell the 2017 P605/607. did you buy a C or S model?
Fuck it. Ordered the 55 in 6 series from best buy to compare it to my 900e I just bought. Says I can pick it up Next Wednesday.
TCL Facebook says few weeks for restock.
I barely have time to use it anyways, so I guess I'll wait.
I prefer Amazon customer service.

Costco doesn't sell the p series and sounds like you paid full price for the s series lol. The S series has been as low as $315.
What I was about to say Costco doesn't carry the P series. So I was probably a C series which I also saw on clearance the other week.
Just ordered the 55" 6 series from Best Buy, said it was gonna be delivered to me tomorrow which is surprising. I guess they have some in stock already since it's coming tomorrow. My local store had in store pickup for this Sunday. (I live in LA)

You're absolutely correct, that's my bad. It's a C model. It doesn't show online, but it was definitely there in store.
This one -- for reference: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071L7ZW2X/ref=emc_b_5_i
Just so you know, that's not a particularly good TV or even a great discount on it. Might be worth returning if you were hoping for the P6 series.
Hmm well I should expect it to update my order to reflect the actual date soon then. I'll post my impressions if I really do get it tomorrow though.
Hm -- just checked the rtings.com review of it. it scored a 7.1 (total) whereas the P scored 7.7
Doesn't seem like there too much difference. And even still, $429 for a 55" 4k HDR w/ DolbyVision still seems like a good deal.
But I could be completely talking out of my ass. I'm new to this kinda stuff, so please feel free to correct me where I may be wrong.

remember no enhanced remote on the BB one.
