Hey, I’ve got a TCL C7K 65-inch,Does yours give off much heat, or is it just mine?
Thinking about that for my dad. You happy? It’s $1100 at the moment.
Wait, it will get cheaper.
Waiting for C8K 65’’ for $1100
I know right, you could BBQ a steak on my TCL C7K, even with the brightness turned right down.
I was always hesitant to buy TCL, now after buying it, I’m definitely NOT buying one again.
Screen flicker, weird blacks and greys, excessive heat, horrible interface, shuts down watching Prime and Apple TV, useless multivision.
Samsung was much better, but just worked, easy access to everything whether console, USB, Apple TV, miss my Samsung, just not their useless customer service.
It'll be perfect for winter, making your house warm and cosy, then get rid of it right before summer 😁
Sounds like it's faulty. Have you contacted TCL yet?
@KirKoloft: I reached out about the heat, they were the ones that told me to turn the brightness down.
Just on the UI, TCL uses Android whereas Samsung use their proprietary OS. Android is always improving and driven by Google. Hard to understand that Android does not provide the 'easy access to everything'.
@debo: It use to, since the last update, it’s literally 4 clicks to get to inputs, down from 2…. First world problems I know
A lot less heat than my previous Sony TV. I was actually surprised at how cool it was in comparison
I have TCL QLED 75 inch 2025 and I find the GUI awkward at best and the PIP (equivalent, they call it Multivision) is difficult to invoke …. and iffy when it runs. I complained to TCL but they couldn't fix it. My 15 year old Samsung Plasma (that died) was waaaaay better .. I'd check the TCL functionally in the shop before I bought one ..
Google tv streamer with project ivy launcher, problem solved
It's the same price at JBHifi right now without any promo codes if you have got one closer to your house.
On another post people were able to get harvey norman to price match this for $1690 - https://countdowndeals.com.au/products/75c8k-tcl-75-c8k-prem…
$1850 isnt that great of a price, it's been cheaper..
thanks for this post. jb matched for me then used 3% gift cards $50.25 extra off (paid the $4 without GC) pickup only tho no delivery option
been looking ck7 for ages.. so happy with the slight upgrade
just realised could have got 6% with kids gift card at SB would have saved another , 50
I bought this last night from Harvey Norman online for slightly lower. (They price matched a Countdown deal and then there was a $60 delivery fee)
I'm still waiting for a deal on an 85". We can do better than $2800.
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/tcl-85-c8k-4k-uhd-premium…
It's $2416 at the moment.
I'm waiting for a better price, but hoping for a bundle deal again as i need a new soundbar too.
That is a little better, I think all time low on the 85 is somewhere around the $2240 mark if im not mistaken.
Yeah i don't think $2,416 is the buy price i'd go with.
With that said.. we may not want to wait until its too late lol.
@ReaperX22: C8 & C9 is the range, C9 exists in other countries, but not in Australia, it's not brought here. K is the 2025 model year, L is the 2026 model.
The models being replaced this year are C6K -> C6K Pro, C7K -> C7L, C8K -> C8L, X11K -> X11L.
@Karmond: Ohhhh tyty. Insert the more you know gif here.
Well I amend my comment to mean.. C8L! Ha
Going blind are you buddy?? Or are you watching your neighbours TV from your lounge room?
Yes to both but more importantly the number of downvotes has me concerned. Are we all green voters now?
Nah just typical OzDownvoters…. Btw I didn’t downvote you, I’m not one of those
@BatmanAU: There's a strong inverse correlation between the number of downvotes and accuracy of a post.
Respekt Batman. Thank you for keeping us safe, even the snowflakes.
It genuinely boggles the mind that Sony and Samsung bother to compete in this space.
Hence why TCL has a 51% stake in Sony now:
Samsung also sold their LCD patents and production fab to TCL CSOT. So they’ve already taken over Mini LED and they’re building an OLED production plant.
TCL has a 51% stake in the new joint venture, not Sony itself.
Basically, hasn’t Sony’s Bravia brand been spun off into it’s own independent entity, ie Bravia products will no longer be sold as “Sony Bravia” but just “Bravia”, of which TCL own 51% and Sony own 49% ?
Sony recently announced a joint venture with TCL. Soon all Sony TVs will be made by TCL.
There won’t be a “Sony” brand TV once this all goes through, Bravia will just be its own independent brand of which TCL owns a 51% majority and Sony the other 49%.
From what I have read the company is called "Bravia Inc", but the TVs will still be branded Sony Bravia. They would be insane to drop Sony from the brand .
I got same price with 85" in last black friday sale. Great tv!
I got this for $1795 a few weeks ago, super bright display and the stock speakers (Bang & Olufsen) are actually not bad sounding. Very happy with the purchase.
Sub $1k please
Secondhand after a few years maybe. Keep on dreamin' bud.
Haha
Let us know when you find one champ ..will buy 2
I got this in last years perks sale in december for $1795 delivered. Looks amazing after doing some calibration.
Using it daily with Stremio and the automatic HDR10 or Dolby Vision is great
How did you calibrate it?
I think when most consumers refer to calibrate, they just mean adjusting colour settings and modes, brightness, contrast, etc to best suit their needs or content.
Most people won't have dedicated calibration devices.
There's usually a number of settings people will typically update or configure. Can likely find from rtings or reddit etc. Can use that as a basis then set your own.
Typically you'll want the movie or film mode (usually most colour accurate by default)
Smoothing and fancy AI features off / sometimes noise reduction settings etc
Anything that says 'enhancer' is usually moving the colour space away from natural but this may not be universally true
Even with the above, just set it to your preference. I tend to set it fairly 'flat' or as accurate to what I consider 'natural' but I still allow Samsung's contrast enhancer to be on 'low' for a bit more pop just because I prefer that even if it's not strictly the most accurate!
Yes how did you calibrate? I just asked Grok what settings to enable/disable ie Adaptive Brightness — turn Off
Darn! I bought the 77 inch for $2200 two weeks ago. This is a great deal!
That's alright, you got an extra 2".
Hey man. 2 inches is a lot okay… Some would even consider it big. Large even.

$1799 at Retravision for anyone interested
This or OLED?
If you're a high roller go for oled, if you're low roller, save up & don't buy anything. more black swan events incoming!
I am getting $1816.50 incl. delivery…HOLD or GO?
Tell them to price match this for $1690 and if they ask say you're in Melbourne so they don't slug you with a delivery markup https://countdowndeals.com.au/products/75c8k-tcl-75-c8k-prem…
Thanks mate, got the Price matched $1690 on JB after HN rejected it. Nice bargain.
Thanks did they charged you any shipping cost ? Would you be able to share the receipt by any chance ?
Great TV and great sound. I got the same one 4 months ago👌
