Please see this post for reviews https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=122438941&postcount=177 Don't worry too much about PC monitor use, most of us won't even notice the cross hatch issue below. It has been my sole PC monitor for 7 months with no problem, text looks sharp from 9ft away. (monkeybiz)
This panel may be unsuitable for PC Monitor use
The panel does render 4:4:4, but applies a final output which is not 1:1 pixel mapping.
The bottom image supplied by Rting Confirms crosshatch dithering pattern
This can not be turned off.
The Crosshatch pattern also extends to the TCL P6 series and R6 series from both THIS year and LAST year's model

Good looks. Ordered one. Best price for this TV I've seen. Now I don't have to stand in line on Black Friday for a lesser tv.
EDIT: Will review this when I pick it up tomorrow. Been waiting for a price dip for 5 months now. Hoping I win the tv lottery! Fingers Crossed 🙂
edit2: I WON THE PANEL Lottery!!! colors are vibrant, blacks are deep. best investment I've had. watching 4k Netflix and YouTube on this looks amazing especially when you connect it to a 5.1 audio system. I feel like I'm in a real theater.
note: screen is really bright. my eyes started to hurt watching doctor strange for 10 minutes. will take some time to get used to.
I did some research, and it seems like getting one from bestbuy vs getting one from amazon does matter. TCL gives better sets to bestbuy and other retailers I believe. You also have till first week of January to exchange it if you have any issue with your model, which I don't think 95% of people will have.
This dude obviously knows nothing....

Wonderful TV. Got the Amazon R617 version during the previous price drop back in July. The 1st unit arrived damaged which Amazon promptly took it back. The next one arrived 2 weeks later, ran a variety of youtube video tests and it did well on most except for some minor banding and cloudiness. Colors look stunning and 4K HDR content looks awesome as well. The Amazon version remote is worth the extra bucks simply for not requiring line-of-sight. The voice feature on remote is not great though.
Just purchased one. I didn't purchase any extended warranty or protection. Paid with a visa. Did I just make a mistake?
You have 30 days to purchase protection.
*Most TVs if they're going to break early, do so during the manufacturer's basic warranty.
Therefore, there's a debate whether an extended warranty should be purchased.
I personally believe that it makes more sense to purchase a TV from a place or through a credit card that offers the extended warranty for free.
Reading this made me realize time is precious and I'll never get back the time I wasted reading this comment
It wasn't a total waste. Now you know not to leave a TV outside for several days before you've been notified of a scheduled pickup. Wait... who even does that? Ok, it was a total waste.

Which Youtube tests did you run on this TV? The 5% gray scale?
You sure did! Playing the panel lottery for a shit brand that has poor quality control is insane. I know everyone on here is easily swayed by rtings.com, but when you see the various TCL models in person and compare to the big name brands, there is a noticeable difference in picture quality.
If you have Samsung EPP or unidays account, go with the 65NU8000 for the same price.
I hope this is not too loong for the TCL fanboys! EMAIA
At least buying through best buy allows easy returns/exchanges.
