True HDR is 1000 to 3000 nits I believe, depending on the type of HDR. There have been newer HDR scales as low as 300 nits since it's still noticable in the colors and contrast compared to no HDR at all.

For gaming it's fairly fast; however, it's not very bright and you won't really get the full effect of HDR and Ray Tracing compared to a more capable TV with a more appropriate peak brightness. On the flip side, it's an great option for its price point for sure!

Changing the gamma to 1.8 when using HDR helps a lot for making the image brighter and not so dark. That was my main problem but this has fixed it. Btw the input lag on this TV is outstanding.. perfect for gaming.

I purchased a "pre-owned" 32-inch version from Amazon's resale store for $100. It was so good I looked forward to hitting the tread mill every day for 30 minutes in front of this kitchen "non-fattening" attraction.

These are like the 1rst gen moto-g when it came out. At the time for a budget piece of tech, You really couldn't do much better. We went from 2 old crt t.v.'s within the same month to 2 tcl t.v.'s and were blown away. The 43" hdr/4k and 32 1080p. Never had flat screen before this. And it was the best way to break into a new technology for us. And if you aren't someone that has already been spoiled by much higher grade or expensive flat panels, you really won't be disappointed with this. Except maybe the speakers for the 43 and 32" t.v.'s. Getting a soundbar with these isn't a complete necessity but it will be one of the next purchases you'll want to make.

Appreciate you for explaining!

A point worth mentioning is that all TCL panels, as far as I'm aware, are VA (vertical alignment). This is good in that they are good at producing blacks, but suffer from loss of colour saturation if you're not sitting within about 20-25 degrees on either side. So, if you're planning on putting it in a room with seating off to the side, it will be very noticable to those sitting there. Also, in a different review of a TCL 4 series, the reviewer mentioned that these tvs aren't very good in bright rooms due to a backlight that isn't quite bright enough and a has problem with glare. Just to add, that I researched a bit more and there are conflicting reports about whether TCL may or may not have the glare and/or brightness problems that the other reviewer claimed. Any prospective buyer may wish to look into it further

No one will probably read this, but what the heck...I bought the 49" 2017 model when it first came out. So, I've had mine for 4 years, now. This model has a good picture with pretty accurate colors, and decent contrast for an entry level tv (There is banding in some dark scenes, though). It isn't very bright, but it's bright enough. It also handles motion pretty well. However, the viewing angle is poor on this set. It washes out pretty quickly as you move to the side. Fortunately, mine is situated for only direct viewing. Unfortunately, since about a month ago a faint line has been running up my screen. I've read some reviews from other people who have had the same problem, and it seems there's nothing that can be done to remedy it. The good thing is that it is virtually unnoticeable in bright scenes, and barely noticeable in dark scenes. So, I can live with it. It can be annoying if you look for it, though. So, I try not to look for it.😉. All in all, this tv was worth the money. Hope this helps someone.

The firestick isn't even 4k, it's been ordered though. The 4k pictures on the roku are of course great so I cannot wait to see what the 4k firestick looks like . My concern is that this TV only has HDR not DOLBY VISION. Would it be worth it to return it and get one (hopefully for around the same price) with DOLBY VISION or is it not that big of deal to have to go through the headache of returning it? Thoughts from anyone would be greatly appreciated. 👍🏼

The Roku OS does has a slightly softer 4K signal compared to something viewed through the HDMI port. This is mostly due to the extra horse power of the chipset and additional settings only bring used via HDMI in. Dolby Vision is amazing and more natural compared to HDR10; however, the price difference between a Series 4 and Series 6 is quite large for just the addition of DV. I would probably just stay with what you have. If you wanted to check out the Hisense H9F, I have a review of that on my channel as well if you're looking to spend a bit more.

This TV is not capable of 120hz as it only has HDMI 2.0 and a 60hz panel. It’s a passable budget option, but it lacks a lot of brightness for modern HDR standards.

I'm really torn between, TCL, Hisense , Hitachi and Sanyo right now all their 55inch is $399 ,I just wanna buy something for my room to replace my 40inch tv . Which one will u recommend? I kinda like the Hisense the way it looks the vessels and at work we are using Hisense it's kinda decent ,just worried bout the quality the longevity of the product. It's too good to be true bout the price.

I've never used Sanyo or Hitachi personally and I would assume they are more of a budget off brand. I never see them at my local big box retail stores, but I always see them in weird places like grocery store electronics departments. I have both a TCL 4 Series and 2 Hisense panels (R6 and Q9/H9F). For the price the Hisense R6 has less DSE and a more attractive external appearance than the TCL, making it appear slightly more premium. OS, functionality, and remote are the same on both since they're both Roku based. I've had my TCL for a little over a year and my Hisense R6 for almost 2 years with no issues on either. My Hisense has probably a couple hundred hours more use on it compared to the TCL since it's a main living space TV and the TCL hasn't been powered on since out flood in September as the basement is still under reconstruction.

I just picked up a 65-in of this model at Target for $229... You're right about the brightness but once you get the settings proper it's excellent. Why should I spend six times as much?

@qwazyd0gg

So the PS5 is "capable" of 4K/120hz; however, Sony has said they are targeting a high quality 4K/60 next gen experience and not sacrificing quality to achieve 120hz or 120fps. This is good news because 60Hz is faster than console players are use to, while providing a high quality visual return. This TV is not true 120hz, as it uses motion interpolation to simulate or smooth 60hz motion to look as of it is 120hz. You DO NOT want this for gaming is it severely increases input lag to well over 100ms. You'd need a true 120hz native panel TV with 48gbps HDMI 2.1 + an HDMI 2.1 cable capable of 48gbps (not included with PS5) to get 120fps on the like one game they have in their library so far.

the only thing that I recommend is TCL historically has problems with quality control in their panels so if you did a white screen test you might see dark spots.

When I finally discovered the dark spots which show up as two eyes in the middle left and the middle right of the screen. That being said for bedroom TV it's not bad. But I was really disappointed that they didn't back there TV considering I deployed. Make sure to do a screen uniformity test . KZread has several of these on hand.

If you are buying this for gaming, let me tell you it kills Sonys and Samsungs as well. Input lag and also panel responsiveness is really close to 10ms in game mode, while the hyped Sony's are around 70ms lagfest TVs for 1000 bucks. Also, huge plus here, the 4series version natively supports 1440p @60fps (along with 1080p and 4K of course), which was actually cut out from the 5 series already. So to all the console and PC gamers out there, the 4 series is a must buy, especially for the low price. Now if you are a high refresh rate gamer like me, of course the 120Hz native panel would be better, but that is around 2-3x price and not really competing with a decent gaming monitor. So my advice is get a Dell or Acer 144Hz gaming monitor at 27" size + get the 43" TCL S425 TV for games like racing games, adventure games where the 60Hz is enough. There are still a lot of games out there btw that are capped at 60fps anyways. I couldn't find a better gaming setup for me. Sure, if you have 1.500 USD to spend then just get a C9 or CX, those are really good, but a bit of an eye melting if you want to use them close on the desktop. (I ended up returning it.)
