Seems like a good price on this model. Can pickup from their warehouses in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane or free delivery in those areas. I checked for Gold Coast and it gave me free delivery at checkout.

Not sure if I get it:
Display
Computer Supported Resolutions 3840 x 2160, 640 × 360 @60Hz, 853 x 480 @60Hz, 1024 x 576 @60Hz, 1280 x 720 @60Hz, 1366 x 768 @60Hz, 3840 x 2160 @60Hz
Refresh Rate 144Hz
Is ti 60Hz or 144Hz?
Yeah that's weird, on the other models it doesn't have it so maybe just for the 50 inch but it would seem like a huge mistake to falsely advertise refresh rate
Good luck getting it delivered. Plan on several days off work.
~I see Price $1990~ that was 75" NVM.
Thanks I fixed it
Also they price beat guarantee so if it's more convenient or cheaper delivery might be able to get another model they have in stock for a bargain
TCL is cost-effective, but I've had to replace my 98" TV twice in two months. If you can afford it, consider opting for a more established brand.
- All three TVs I received had speaker issues, prompting me to give up and invest in a soundbar.
- The native OS (Google TV) experiences slow responses, especially with a few installed apps, requiring a nightly restart.
- Connecting a Chromecast TV to eARC resulted in the soundbar needing a non-eARC connection, causing the TV to turn off every 30 minutes (still occurring with the third TV received as a warranty replacement). TCL support dismissed this as an issue, advising against using external devices. Now, I've had to connect my soundbar to the Chromecast via Bluetooth, introducing a slight delay. Please suggest any better solutions if available.
Investing in a 98" TCL TV has turned out to be the worst decision of my life.
Regarding 3, what reason do you have to connect the Chromecast TV via E-Arc? Why not one of the other HDMI ports? On my Hisense I run my Chromecast TV into one of the other HDMI's, then E-Arc into my receiver (in your case it would be the soundbar).
I find performance interesting though, as my TCL 635 is considerably more responsive than the Chromecast with Google TV 4K I have hooked up to my Hisense.
Agree re ARC. Sounds like user error imo.
I'm kind of a noob but can you cast directly to the TV with it being a Google TV? Or is there downfalls to this?
If their issue is performance/responsiveness, that will likely still arise with casting, as it's still the same base software in the background. I've rarely done it as using my phone to pick stuff on the TV feels counterintuitive to me, but yes, you can do that.
Yeah I notice a lot of cheaper end smart TVs are really slow it's unfortunate. I just use a mini PC that I move between the bedroom and lounge room I always had connectivity issues with a lot of those cast devices.
@lookingforadeal7: I'm surprised that LuckyDealer has an issue with the TCL OS performance, as my experience with my 635 and my parents' 845 is that it is considerably more responsive than a Chromecast with Google TV.
which range is your TV from? I think for "cost effective" brands it matters…I've personally never had an issue with this C range.
I almost never use native OS for TVs. My Google TV or Shield Pro allows me to have the same user experience across multiple TVs rather than having to set up every time i upgrade etc.
I agree with you, I have a 55" C745.
I used a utility called AppControl to strip out as much TCL bloatware as possible. (Did this for my Android Phones as well)
This helped with responsiveness and stability but still not as good as a Shield or even Chromecast with Google TV.
Rate this for a desktop monitor replacement or too big?
Depends on the usage, gaming or office work or productivity?
In terms of size, it depends on how far you sit back from the monitor, you'd probably want a very wide desk
Tried this size with a 55" samsung q70. Size is manageable when its slammed low on my desk and about 1.2m away from eyes.
The verticality is what makes it hard imo, you need to lower your desk so youre not looking up with your neck.
Gaming wise its was good with a controller, didnt like it for kb/mouse gaming. It was either too big when close or it felt disengaged when its far enough to be comfortable.
43" might be better for gaming, those oleds sometimes hit the $1k mark.
Thanks for the replies - I’ve a 27” at the moment, sitting 1m back from the wall, 70cm back from the monitor.
Odd gaming, mostly productivity.
When I've been looking at 42" people say you want a minimum of 75cm from the monitor, so I reckon you're going to have issues with the 50", unless you wall mount it to get the extra distance.
I think you're right, will aim for a 42". thanks
@cycloneaussie: If you have the patience, your best bet might be to wait it out until March/April and try to get a clearance 42" C3 @ ~$1K.
Got one of these during Black Friday sales for $949, Can't fault it for picture for streaming media and PS5.
On the refresh rate, there is a couple of specific ports you need to use for VRR and it needs to be enabled also otherwise you just get 60hz.
Pretty clearly labelled on the back when plugging stuff in on which are supported.Nice that's a good price, I'm trying to convince my friend to buy a 120hz TV since he recently got his PS5 but he bought a budget 65" non smart TV for $430 about 6 months ago.
Got this from JB 3 weeks ago for $949, matching Appliances Online, then used the 15% discount cards from recent deal, Awesome TV, can't fault it!!
I was wondering if anyone had done this, really good price for this TV I'd consider switching to it over a normal monitor if I got it at that price.
yeah $800 was a bargain :)
Also $999 @ Buy Smarte Delivered to SYD/MEL/BNE: https://www.buysmarte.com.au/tcl-50c845-50-126cm-c845-4k-uhd…
Much better off walking into your local stockist and getting them to price match with ease.
Also if you are on a budget Kogan currently has 144hz QLED TVs on presale for pretty good prices just not sure on quality maybe someone can tell me if it's a good deal? 50 inch is $599 ($579 w/ FIRST) for example.
