Have tcl c800 series, there is also frame skipping and stuttering during hdr streaming. Any update dont resolve issue, its tcl thing as i read on forums
Hi Ty for the review . I don’t have a budget for a mini led from tcl so I’m looking at the c745 or c655 pro . I can get the c745 for around 560 euro and to c655 pro for around 620 euro both în 65 inch . Can you please recommend of the 2 models? I would love the c805 but unfortunately it’s out of my budget and not on sale . Ty for all your reviews.
Yes, C765 will most probably be the next TCL TV I'll review. Stuttering/frame skipping sometimes happens because of Google TV, but once you unplug it from power and plug it back it goes away. It happened on C805 after cca. 6 months for the first time and did not happen again until I returned it.
@@TVguyDarko CCA? Some people report the fix for that problem is to use external device, but some say it stutters/frame skips on a device too. I wonder what's the difference between an internal Google TV OS and a device's Google TV OS?
@@multi2176 Yes, no frame skipping if you play for example a movie via external Blu-ray player. The device with Google TV might be more powerful or has fewer services running in the background so it doesn't have issue with processing of the video from some video on demand app.
@@multi2176 I connected android tv box with hdmi and i lt didnt resolve frame skipping. Connecting from hdmi nr 1 to 4 gave better results but still not great. Tcl video decoding software is shit as fck
Thank you for the content drako! But I’m very confused about one thing . I bought the tcl t8b model here in Romania thinking it was the c655 pro with full array but it looks like tcl has tricked its costumers with its complicated model names for different regions . Can you please give me advice if I should return it and get the c655 pro ? I have a wife that likes to watch tv and she doesn’t like the tv picture quality of this t8b so was wondering if you knew if the c655 pro was better în that regards.
Hello there, any idea about the difference between the tcl C series and T7B. Tcl c645 t7b and c655 are all kinda similarly priced in gulf region. Which oke sould i go gor just for casual setup nothijg fan of y?
I’d go with C1 OLED without any doubt. So much better in terms of picture quality and can reach higher peak brightness, making it better for SDR and HDR.
Hello. Please tell me: Do I need to turn off the Local dimming when calibrating the TV? Or is it still possible to calibrate with local dimming enabled?
@TVguyDarko thanks for answer, but I have little question again. Tcly55c745 or TCL 65c655 pro, there is no too much price different. Which model should I get ❓
Hi, C745 is brighter that C655 Pro so it would be a better choice. Also consider C755/805 with mini LED - comparison video: th-cam.com/users/shorts42MjTTN7DVg?feature=share
Hello Darko. Amazing videos. If you can help, which one to choose. This one or the Philips 55PUS8209/12 AMBILIGHT 55" 4K QLED? They are currently on sale, both the same price. Thank you and keep the amazing work.
Hello Marko! I'm currently typing this on Philips 43PUS8009 which I'm using since I made the review as a monitor. Works really well in that role. But for movies and games, TCL simply offers more, so I'd suggest you get it.
@TVguyDarko thank you so much for the reply! Well, I went for philips but they were out, so I took tcl and now I read your comment and it makes me happy 👌👌👌
Cao, da li si gledao usporedbe C655(ne pro) da ostalim modelima, nekako u tamnim scenama C655 ima kao neku bijelu maglu/zavjesu, slika kao da previše osvjetljenja!? Da li znaš šta o tome može li se to riješiti i da li je bolji ovaj model ili Samsung CU7092 ILI DU7192? TV bi bio za gledanje filmova u sobi, nema puno svjetlosti!?
Pozdrav! Gdje si vidio tu maglu/zavjesu? Je li TV bio u trgovini? U kojem je modu radio? Moze biti svasta, od loseg podesenja do primjerka koji ima neujednaceno pozadinsko osvjetljenje/ jak DSE efekt.
@@gowri0077 There is no "best brand", but currently TCL does offer the most in my opinion for the asking price. Take a look at their entry level mini LED TVs like C755 (2023) or C765 (2024).
From my experience: in terms of picture quality TCL's Qled entry TV's are unfortunately not performing better than the "normal" LED models of Samsung and LG. With a good calibration of any LG/samsung budget TV you can easily reach the picture quality of any TCL budget Qled TV. Moreover they have often better upscaling qualities.
Sorry for the late reply, didnt have internet due to my working environment, Straight to the point: The android OS is, which is google in this case, was so underwhelming. Laggy, freezing a lot, account syncing issues, continuously having to log in and out. On the other hand, the TV picture quality is amazing compared to the price point. You easily enjoy the experience *AFTER* calibration. ONKYO sound quality was good and enjoyable. Arguably one the best feature of the TV is the ONKYO audio technology. All in all, the C655 is an amazing TV at its price but the OS is the main and major setback. It is so annoying to have to wait for everything to load and constantly signing in to your account and have go do the 2FA to log in. My recommendation? Save more and buy a better TV with a better OS. Which are the Samsung and LG.
@@theman7030 I mainly use my TV's with external sat receivers through HDMI port, I'm not so much in Netflix, etc. Is the C655 also laggy in opening/using the picture/sound adjusting menus (brightness, contrast, etc.). Furthermore, is FHD content well upscaled as I don't watch 4K content at all. Best regards.
Hi, for the price point, what would be some of your go-to recommendations? Just something that is overall pretty solid.
Have tcl c800 series, there is also frame skipping and stuttering during hdr streaming. Any update dont resolve issue, its tcl thing as i read on forums

Any plans on reviewing c765? There are many complaints in avforums about stuttering/frame drops in it and last year model c805/c755.
Yes, C765 will most probably be the next TCL TV I'll review. Stuttering/frame skipping sometimes happens because of Google TV, but once you unplug it from power and plug it back it goes away. It happened on C805 after cca. 6 months for the first time and did not happen again until I returned it.

What is 1080P upscaling like on the TV?
I think you should definitely review E7NQ Pro next, as I believe it is direct competitor to C655 Pro.
Thanks! I'm already testing E7NQ, will see which Hisense TV will I buy next (E7NQ Pro or some from the ULED series).
Hi my bad if this has been asked but is this model the same as the NORTH America's q681g??
So can someone plz tell me what your country calls the 55Q681G??? Cant find ANY INFO or reviews

Which is better C655 or LG C1 ? Which is brighter?
I’d go with C1 OLED without any doubt. So much better in terms of picture quality and can reach higher peak brightness, making it better for SDR and HDR.
Hi,. Does the TV have the option of setting the legs narrower? I mean additional narrower mounting points
Hi, no - only one set of mounting points is available.

Is the TCL C655 durable? We only get a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, and the Pro model is not available in Sri Lanka.
I’d say it is as durable as TVs from other brands.
Hello. Please tell me: Do I need to turn off the Local dimming when calibrating the TV? Or is it still possible to calibrate with local dimming enabled?
You can keep it turned on. For SDR patterns are full field and for HDR if you keep the at 10 or 18% windows local dimming won’t dim them.
@@TVguyDarko I was referring to the calibration of the SDR with a calibrator
Yes, I replied it is OK to keep LD on for SDR as patterns are full-field (covering the entire screen) so LD doesn’t affect it.
@@TVguyDarko Спасибо.
Cao koja je bolja tv Tcl745 ili Tcl 845 koja je razlika i dali je velika?
C845 ima bolji HDR i preciznije zatamnjenje zbog više zona (mini LED). Ako ti budget omogućuje, kupi njega radije.
@TVguyDarko hvalla odgovorio si mi i na lajvu 🙂
@@TVguyDarko cao darko uzeo sam Tcl c845 na kutiji pise 55Tcl c845x2 jel to znaci da sam uzeo onaj sa novijum cips setom ili stariji?
So nice video, but I have question, which one should I choose 655 or 655 pro? Since I don't understand different bw these models.
Hi, I have a short video exactly on this topic coming soon. I’d get C655 Pro since it is brighter and has local dimming.

What app do you use to stream video from storage to TV?
Built-in media player. KODI does offer more options, but for my needs the default player is sufficient.
How about compared to hisense U6K pro?
Are you talking about the miniled? If so it's not even a competition that the U6k pro is better
Calibration settings please. Thank you
PDF files are already available, video with basic tips will arrive in coming weeks.

could you post C655 pro best settings?
Yes, will do it. PDF settings are already in my store, check links in the description.

Does this support 4k 120hz?
No, max 1440p in 120 Hz.
@TVguyDarko man deal breaker. I thought theyd fix it w the ori
better to get the c755 model. its native 120hz
this TV can only do 1440p @ 120hz and 4k @ 60hz when gaming on a console. I thought it can do 4k @ 120hz. I'm disappointed
No tv priced at 500 dollars can do that
No headphone jack? Damn..
c655 pro have 120hz not like regular one c655,this model is not pro i think
It has at 1440p and 1080p as shown in the Gaming section.
just refunded my 55C655...such a bad TV. just save more for SAMSUNG or LG.
What was so bad with it?
