The TCL 6 series is upon us! (55R615, 65r615)

sounds like the best upgrade is that its able to maintain brightness for small highlights and in all windows in general.
you generally can't see panel uniformity issues in pics like this unless its a solid color or during panning shots where uniformity rears its ugly head as dirty screen effect though. if you're satisfied don't go looking further tho!
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.

Im well aware. I had the P series last year and took it back. Got a Vizio M series and took it back because panning shots drove me nuts. This one is light years better. Im sure if I put a solid white up id notice something but in normal viewing so far I haven't seen anything. Planet Earth II has a ton of sky panning shots so those 2 drove me nuts. This one seems really clean.
i would assume the 65" does as well, but i can confirm that the 55" has a headphone jack. I use it for my speakers.
I've decided I neeed this TV. I was initially planning on a Sony x900E around Black Friday, based on RTINGS recommendation and the demo I got from a dude at best buy comparing the Sony A1E, the x900e, and the 850e. I'm a noob to this AV stuff, so what I learned at Best Buy that day is that the quality of the local dimming is HUGE when it comes to picture quality.
For those interested in seeing some kind of content on the 6 series leading up to the RTINGS review, I thought this CNET video is pretty sick - it shows a special demo unit displaying the array of dimming zones:

Ordered the 55 inch last Friday, was originally estimated to be delivered today. Over the weekend was updated to deliver yesterday.
Never passed "label was created." Amazon seems to have lost it.

Anyone tested the 6 in hdr gaming and also owned the P series for a while?
Also they say HDMI 3 is the low input lag port which sadly is also the ARC port.
Anyone know if the other ports are low lag also yet for sure? In Hdr

Joelster is an idiot. He turned on game mode, that kicked off local dimming and he forgot to turn it back on.
Lol you guys are right. He actually acknowledges it in the comments. Good to know.
Does anyone have the 5 series? I just received mine and I'm still trying to find the perfect calibration for it.
don't have mine yet and couldn't seem to find any settings online. most of the hype and media coverage will be on the 6-series for a while.
how's the tv looking with the not-perfect calibrations?
The picture is good out of the box but I'm just waiting to tweak it to my liking. I booted up uncharted 4 and was blown away at how good it looked compared to my old set tho.
Had to pause the second he laid the screen face down on that table. DONT DO THAT!!!
He's placing it on some packing foam and not directly on the table. That and the foam wrap should be enough. That's actually similar to how LG instructs you to unbox their oleds to install the stands.
Incorrect. It comes with a composite adapter. The tv does not support component.
I've been playing around with mine since I got it on Tuesday, and it's been mostly great, but I definitely miss the screen uniformity and viewing angle my plasma had.
Put an all white image up and discovered a single dead pixel in the upper middle-left part of the screen. Fortunately it's so small that I can't even see it at 8' away.
vudu app looking like trash on roku = poor upscaling performance? that is a strange conclusion to make
Is this good?
(I don't play multiplayer or fighting games to I'm not sure this even matters to me)
Thought the same, completely unrelated. And the Vudu interface has always looked low-res.
Thats on HDMI 3 which is also ARC .
Do we know the input lag yet for the other two inputs? the rumor was they were much higher so those of us who do not run our components through our AVR kind of need to know.
Hopefully rtings.com checks all the inputs with HDR when it does its review
I recommend everyone doing this with their new sets, I had 3-4 bad panels for the p605. Some of the problem areas didn't even seem like dead pixels but more so like dust trapped or glued onto the panel. Wear some sunglasses or something though because the screen is really bright!
Anyone have this tv, in the preview program, and can get 4k and hdr. Just got the 65" and i cannot get it to recognize 4k. Not sure if its being in an alpha build or something else.
Yep, after taking a couple pics and putting different colors up I'm pretty sure it's actually just a piece of dust stuck inside. If I zoom into a close up the pixels are all lit up.
At 8 ft it's completely invisible so I'm not going to worry about it.
This TV is with one thats gonna make me upgrade my 1080p guy from 5 years ago! Sad its not high Hz, but I think I can live without it if its solid enough for gaming. Debating if I should not open God of War till I get this...
Did you go into the input settings on the tv and change HDMI mode from automatic to 2.0? Also, are you definitely using a 2.0 hdmi cable?
I have the Vizio SB3851-C0 5.1 soundbar and wireless subwoofer/speakers and I've really liked them. They're a relatively cheap and easy way to get into 5.1 sound.
I wonder if this means they'll clear out last years models, which would still be a huge upgrade for me.
