I picked up a TCL over the holidays and I'm
so disappointed in the picture. Watching the same shows via my roku plugged into my Panasonic plasma dumb tv is so much more vibrant. It's almost unwatchable on some scenes and adjusting the settings does nothing. I get the feeling it's my TV that's lacking something, but I'm just not sure what feature it is. Please help. Thanks in advance.

I don't think RTINGS even mentions about the performance of the TVs (might be wrong, so feel free to correct!)
While we are not worried about the dirty screen effect or sub-par viewing angles, since it's mostly being used to playing rhymes for the toddler, the TV isn't responsive. Not sure if its the OS, components. This TV has 2GB RAM and 16GB storage space, while I'm not sure what the processor is.
You definitely would want to use an addon chromestick/Roku/AppleTV if you don't want to have a blood pressure.
Also, this is a costco specific model, they throw in a year of extra warranty and a HDMI cable.
I can confirm (and add to) the list of issues:
- The backlight definitely lines up with the dirt cheap price.
- Google TV can occasionally hiccup because they used a VIC-20 for the brains.
- The glass is extremely fragile - take off rings on your fingers before moving it, and have a friend help "just in case".
- If there is a screen failure then Hisense will merely refund you and it is up to you to figure out how to get rid of the thing.
Pros:- $350
- Picture quality can match sets at twice the price. (Though, yes, $700 is hardly top-tier, but still ...)
- Did I mention it is only $350?
If you have $1000+ to spend on a set then look elsewhere. But if you are just looking for something to get you by until Samsung's latest OLED perfection screens get down to reasonable prices then this screen is good enough.This LG is also available at my warehouse for the same price.

My old LeEco/LeTV has a better hardware than these 'new' TVs (granted, that thing will not update its OS for years now) and it is so responsive.
Solution for me is to use a $20 walmart onn device to "replace" the TV's OS.
I got this 75" TCL Roku TV for $500 around Black Friday for my father and he loves it. I would probably grab another one today if it was still that low. I need a new bedroom TV and don't need all the bells and whistles of a higher end TV.
It was Best Buy and it was a lot of work. I waited for almost 2 hours for my online pickup before they finally told me they didn't have it. That was about a half hour south of the BB near where I was staying. Luckily, the BB 30 minutes south of that one had a few. Fitting it in my small rental SUV was not easy, but I did it and then uncomfortably drove it an hour north.
