Correct. Not even in the UK.
What settings should I have for God of war and Gran Turismo? I already spent so much time in menus and now these games have their own menus I dont know what to set!
These are my settings so far
SDR
Darker
Movie
Local Contrast: High(uniformity is bad on these tv's, my uniformity is good but I have bad clouding in 2 quadrants of my tv and this makes them disappear entirely.)
Backlight: 70
Brightness: 48
Contrast: 100
sharpness: 0
Colour: 50
Tint: 0
Temperature: Warm
Game Mode: On
HDR
Darker
Normal HDR(Dark looks washed out, adds like a grey screendoor, brighter is ugly)
backlight: 100
brightness: 50
rest is same as above
Both have expert settings on from rtings.com
Does this TV have a European counterpart? Cannot find it anywhere :( What would be the best alternative on the EU market?
I have a question that I'm hoping someone can help with (or at least verify that I'm not going insane).
I have the 55R615, and I've noticed some strange 'blurring' issues while watching Blu Rays (or streamed movies from the Roku apps), and even while playing RDR2 via 4K setting.
This is the only review that I've seen that's mentioned it: https://www.reviewed.com/televisions/content/tcl-6-series-tv-review
They say this:
'While this might actually sound like praise for the 6 Series' picture quality, the biggest difference I noticed between watching The Mountain Between Us in 4K/HDR on the $4,000 LG E8 OLED and this TV—after black level—was motion performance.
Because Blu-rays play back at 24fps, they sometimes struggle to play with total smoothness on 60 Hz TVs like the TCL 6 Series. During the movie's shaky, jarring plane crashes and action scenes, there were times I found myself distracted by blurring and juddering, especially during trickier camera pans.'
I especially notice this during scenes where the camera is panning at a constant speed. Something just feels...off. It's almost like it's blurring the edges of the things that are moving in the scene. This is especially apparent in RDR2 with foliage in the distance. Hell, even if I look at certain things on the radar while spinning my camera around, they have a slight 'blur' effect on them. I'm pretty sure this is my TV and not the game, since I've watched people streaming RDR2 via PS4 Pro on Twitch, but I don't notice this blurring issue (however, I don't know if they're using a 4K TV or not).
I don't think it's any of my settings, as I've turned off all LED Motion Clarity and, even used the Roku smartphone app to turn 'Noise Reduction' off.
Does anyone else notice this issue? Have you been able to do anything to reduce and/or remove it once you noticed it? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Edit: Something else I forgot to mention is that for some reason, I've only realized this issue recently even though I've had the TV about 4 months. I don't think it's been there since the start...could this have been a firmware update that caused this?
And I've changed the remote batteries for the third (or fourth) time since May.
Same here.You might have a defective remote. I haven't changed mine since the tv launched.

Rise from your grave!
Seems there's a 75" 6-series coming in about a month, exclusively at Best Buy.

Expecting my Roku speakers to come in today which Wirecutter recommended for this TV:
https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/roku-tv-wireless-speakers/
Will let you know how they are. I debated between these and a Soundbar and settled on these because the Wirecutter suggests they're basically seamless w/ this TV.
I believe I heard TCL say during the press conference that this update would be available within the current quarter.
For people with the 6 series. How bad is the vertical banding issue? It's the only thing that stopped me from getting one.

Yes I'm Dolby only and still see it... Oh well thx for suggestions
Interested in your review. I was thinking about replacing my old 1080p Vizio with TCL and these would be a great option for my upstairs setup. I don't have room for a soundbar unless it mounts to the bottom of the TV.
Ok thanks will give it a try! I always forget to restart occasionallyThis is going to sound stupid, but.. go to settings, power, and do a full restart on the TV. It should be better not perfect.
I get up to 2s of lag sometimes and then a reboot fixes it until the next time...
The banding on the 65R617 I bought last month is pretty prominent. It's an amazing TV, though. It doesn't bother me but it's definitely a thing.For people with the 6 series. How bad is the vertical banding issue? It's the only thing that stopped me from getting one.

I'm think of getting a budget TV for now while OLED etc come out over this year. And then pick up a OLED set maybe next black friday.
I don't want the situation where I wait and wait. Coming into this thread doesn't make it easy haha
You won't regret the 6 series of you're on a budget. It's like 78% of OLED for less than half the price. If you're not a perfectionist then you'll really enjoy this set. Everyone I know always complements my TV.
Goes against the value of TCL but I have the Sonos Beam and its amazing for its size, very compact. Are you wall mounting or using a stand? The Beam fits neatly right underneath the TCL's stand. But then again, its $400 for a soundbar.
Wall mounting. I do have a small shelf under it which could be used. Right now it is used for decorative purposes, just need to convince the wife the sound will be with it ;)
so i was thinking about a tcl 6 series either a 55 or a 65 inch now how does this tv fare against the Sony XBF900 the other tv i was looking at? Also does this tv support Dolby atmos?

I'm very curious about this, as I found a page on Roku's support site for the speakers directly stating that using the speakers causes the TV to intentionally delay the audio and video signals in order to maintain audio sync with the picture and prevent sound drops. It says to make sure you're using Game Mode to mitigate the extra delay.The wireless sync seems flawless so far, no delay or anything at all, not during video or even when navigating the UI where you can really tell when something's off... it all seems 1:1.
Sorry to bump this thread, but I just got an R615 and I'm having a really hard time getting surround sound to work. Does anyone know the right way to set up audio to a sound bar via HDMI-ARC?
Here's my setup:
PS4 Pro>TV HDMI 1 port
HDMI-ARC port on TV>Vizio sound bar HDMI-ARC port
PS4 output set to Bitstream (Dolby)
TV "S/PDIF and ARC" setting set to (Dolby D)
I've also tried every setting under that, including Auto Detect and it just refuses to produce sound through my rear speakers. I even did a speaker test to make sure they worked and they do.
Any ideas? I don't like using optical straight from my PS4 because it sometimes crackles or I get some audio cut outs, but using HDMI-ARC has never given me any issues with my old Bravia. Suddenly I replace it with the TCL and byebye SS. :/
Not sure if you ever solved this, but I had this exact same issue. I tried *EVERYTHING* and the only way I got it to work was by doing optical from the PS4 straight into my Vizio sound bar. The frustrating thing on top of it is that I'm still using ARC to the sound bar for other things and you cannot turn off the PS4's HDMI audio out. So when you go to the home menu on the PS4, for some reason the ARC stereo audio kicks in and auto swaps the sound bar to the HDMI arc channel and I have to manually switch it back to Optical. Every time. It's a really shitty solution. Did you end up figuring out something that worked better?
