Back again. I know this was $30 less at one point; but the time machine hasn't been invented yet.

I bought the TV -
Used a mix of RTINGS and Reddit recommendations to calibrate
Good:
Picture/Color
Contrast
Deep Blacks
HDR is pretty good
It's huge
Bad:
Things with fast motion
The "noise reduction" functionality is useless and makes things worse
The user interface is super laggy. So changing settings etc is a chore. Don't buy this if you don't have a Roku stick or some other device like that.
I'm not even familiar with TCL. So many brands.
Thanks for pointing this out. Overlooked it.
And it is definitely living up to what I expected. Obviously, with an ultra-budget 75" TV, you are going to be making compromises somewhere. In this case, I think it is prioritizing being as good as that budget will allow for things like movies and regular TV shows (including 4K and/or HDR content).
And it is not bad as-is for that purpose. But if you also add a decent external streaming device and a reasonable budget surround-sound system, you can have an acceptable 75" 4K "home theater" setup for around, say, $850-900. Not too shabby!
For uses like gaming or sports? I don't think this TV will be terrible for occasional use. But if your main uses are more that stuff, you might want to look at a different panel technology. Or, plan to spend quite a bit more to get equally good or better performance for all your uses. Or finally, go smaller.

480i, on the other hand, looks pretty rough, but I have honestly never seen 480i actually look good on a bigger screen. It just doesn't have the information content to be blown up like that.
The one other caution is that reviewers have suggested it does not have very good motion handling. That's not a big issue if you mostly watch non-sports TV. But if you watch a lot of sports TV, that might be an issue to consider.

Thanks for the rundown. Looks like I'll have to sacrifice size if I want to go up to the H8G and keep it around $600. My son uses the TV mostly for gaming, and we're running a 2008 Panasonic 46" TV, so anything will be an upgrade. Maybe with the 2021 models coming out soon I'll be able to get a marked down 65"
