    4) is it a gift card or a cashback?

      TCL's email says it's a digital gift card that will be sent to your email.

      • strangeloops66 on 08/11/2022 - 15:28

        That's 1). This is 4), which is TCL "cashback", which is a digital gift card.

          Seems like #4 is also TGG credit rather than a Visa/MC gift card according to the T&C's here.

    also do you need to use your phone for the $70 store cash?

    • Volution on 08/11/2022 - 14:53

      Yes, you'd need to add it to your phones wallet. I bought my tv instore and i register it before i bought the tv. After the purchase, the store cash was received 4 days after.

        yes I added it to my phone, but I mean do I have to actually make the purchase via phone to be eligible?

        • ozzydeals123 on 08/11/2022 - 15:01

          I would like to know the answer to this as well.

        • Volution on 08/11/2022 - 15:02

          I don't think you need to do it on your phone, just make sure your details and mobile number is the same. And when asked, during the checkout, put in the details again.

      • zorodluffy on 08/11/2022 - 17:38

        I made a goodguys store cash account and added it to my google pay via the SMS link.

        However I didnt see a option to link the cash account when i purchased the tv via my PC browser, but I purchased it while logged into my goodguys account that has the same name and mobile number as the cash account.

        Is this enough to get the $70 credit?

    • zorodluffy on 11/11/2022 - 10:35

      i purchased it and yet to receive the $70 store cash, it says in T and Cs that the store cash is paid on the 2nd and 4th thu of every month, do i need to wait until then to see if its tracked, or is there another way to check?

  • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 08/11/2022 - 14:56

    I'm dead set on a LG C2 but this is half the price!

    HDMI 2.1 check
    Dolby vision check
    Local dimming check

    • Volution on 08/11/2022 - 15:00
      +5

      Was in the same boat thinking i will wait for a C2 during the black friday deals perhaps but after much consideration even with the black friday deals, i will still need to fork out 2K or a bit less than that if I'm lucky. Then the final nail to the coffin is that my old TV decided to die mid Oct. A combo of necessity and half the cost made me pull the plug on this TV. If you have a bright room, this tv is awesome. OLED needs a dark room to get the full benefit of the TV. Good luck.

        It looks like the speakers are impressive too! Built in sub! So that's another $200-300 savings from not needing a soundbar.

          Do not kid yourself, the sound will be shite, calculate a soundbar for all modern tvs, they are too slim to provide any decent sound.

            @snuke: I have this TV, the sound is by Onkyo and compares quite well to my B&W bookshelf speakers.. So..looks like your generalisation doesn't apply this time. The previous model has the same sound set up, and its well regarded in the review here: https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2021/07/tcl-c825-review-4k-mini-l… You'd likely need to spend $350 plus on a bulky soundbar/sub combo to get something that to sound better. But its plenty good enough, so I doubt you most ppl would bother.

              @samwyze:

              I have this TV, the sound is by Onkyo and compares quite well to my B&W bookshelf speakers..

              You can't get around physics, and it's just not possible for a flat panel tv to move the air in any meaningful way. Sony with their entire screen as a speaker is the best hope.

              its well regarded in the review here:

              Gizmodo Aus has not been worth reading for tech reviews since Campbell Simpson left as editor many years ago. It's an embarrassment now, as was that "review". In thier review for the C835 by another useless reviewer, they recomend a sound bar - https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2022/08/tcl-c835-mini-led-tv-revi…
              The Cybershack review also says it's average/poor - https://cybershack.com.au/reviews/tcl-c835-mini-led-tv-bang-…

              Again, physics can't be ignored.

              If you're happy with it, and many people will be, more power to them.

              • leonhart83 on 09/11/2022 - 11:15

                @snuke: I am honestly a bit picking when it comes to sound, since I used to be a projectionist in cinema.

                I haven't noticed any issues with my TCL 835 since I started using it that made me run towards the speakers to switch them over. Perhaps I have just had some really poor experience with a lot of other tv's sound quality and it was more of a "pleasantly surprised" that it didn't make my ears bleed.

                I can honestly say as someone who uses dedicated sound cards, and DAC's that I can't agree with the reviews that say the sound is poor, at least from a anecdotal position. Especially when comparing to a lot of other TV's on the market.

        • Menzoberranzan on 08/11/2022 - 18:17

          The sub is nothing special. You will still get plenty more from a soundbar, speaking from personal experience.

          I also have a CX and even though it is 2 years behind, I still prefer the OLED by far. The TCL definitely was a bit more fiddly to get the settings the way I wanted, but it is a decent TV for the money as nothing else was a better option at the size and price point

        • leonhart83 on 09/11/2022 - 11:08
          +2

          I can't vouch for the 55" but I very recently got the 75". I plugged in my edifier 2.1 via optical before turning it on for the first time. It took me longer than I am proud to say before I realised that sound wasn't coming through my 2.1 speakers.

          I can honestly say that the sound is very impressive comparatively to any other TV I have heard. I have it wall mounted in a decently acoustic room, I don't know if that matters.

          Again I can't vouch for the 55"

          • McFly on 09/11/2022 - 14:56

            @leonhart83: I agree, which is just as well given the problems I'm having.
            I can't see an option to switch to optical output (just ARC, headphones, internal, etc.) for some reason.

            • leonhart83 on 09/11/2022 - 16:03

              @McFly: You need to change output to PCM for optical (I think it is under advance once optical is selected). I can't remember the exact options, but it needs to be PCM unless your unit support ARC.

              Let me know how you go. When I get a chance I can tell you the exact options.

    • magicpelgrave on 08/11/2022 - 15:49

      The C2 is an OLED which has vastly superior picture quality than the likes of the C385.

      If you can afford it, I highly recommended getting an OLED.

      Once you get an OLED, nothing else compares.

      I cannot answer it as i dont have either tv. However, I did consider the LG QNED. But since it's almost double the price, i couldn't justify the price. I'd rather wait for black Friday deal and get C2 instead if I'm forking out double the price. But that's just me though.

                https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/news/66c9785

                Even though LG lists the QNED80 series under the QNED MiniLED Tv series, on the detailed specs pages for each model, it mentions Edge backlight, which contradicts to the MiniLED moniker. This could very well be a mistake but the backlight type will remain under question until further officially verified.

                From what I've seen the 86" is MiniLED - the others, not so sure.

      https://cybershack.com.au/reviews/tcl-c835-mini-led-tv-bang-…

      Halfway down the page:

      Off-angle viewing – Pass(able)
      Unlike OLED, where you can get close to a 180° angle to the screen, this VA LCD panel tends to wash out colours and details past about 135°. All this means is that you need to be a little more front-on in viewing than off to the side.

      • tunzafun001 on 08/11/2022 - 15:41

        Thats pretty much the case for every VA panel.

            @nigel deborah: Hmm… TGG 20% off only brings the price down to Appliance Central's regular price. Then they both qualify for the TCL gift card. So as you said, the only difference is really the in store credit.
            Now that depends if you have any loyalty to the TGG. Have read some shocking reviews about their returns/repairs process!

            How long is the store credit good for anyway?

  • 3d3e3fae on 08/11/2022 - 15:44
    +2

    Based on spec, it is mini LEDs but only has 240 local dimming zones for the 55" - so it won't be a huge difference in contrast like switching to OLED (probably similar to QLED with full array local dimming). The only advantage with mini LEDs for this model seems to be better uniformity of brightness. The official spec says only 500 nits for brightness which isn't great for mini LEDs. 6000:1 contrast ratio is above average though.

  • FeZZa21 on 08/11/2022 - 16:02

    How did OP calculate cashback of $60.87? shouldn't it be (1116-70) * 0.06 = 62.76? So $883.24 total

    • XedeX on 08/11/2022 - 16:21

      Cashback is calculated on the amount you pay. $70 is the credit you will get after you make the purchase.

      • FeZZa21 on 08/11/2022 - 16:22

        If that's the case then cashback should be even more, $66.96 (1116 x 0.06)

        • Volution on 08/11/2022 - 16:27

          Shopback cashback is calculated excluding gst. $1116 is incl gst.

      Meh. It's really only the in store credit that puts it marginally ahead of other deals. It's a good loyalty hook from TGG, I'll give em that much. Dunno if they're worth it though. I've heard some shocking stories about their return & repairs process.
