For picture optimization I used this as baseline, it's the Q650G (better version of this TV) and changed a few things as necessary from there. (https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews...d/settings)

For performance improvement, i first installed Projectivity Launcher from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/app...rojengmenu), you can also install FLauncher from the play store and see which one you like better (https://play.google.com/store/app....flauncher). Both of these are open source, ad-free and allow you to customize the home screen. You aren't constantly bombarded with promos from Google.

Once you are happy with either of the above launchers you can connect via adb to your TV and run the commands from this thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidT...hromecast/). This disables the primary google home launcher and lets you launch one of the ad free ones from the ones I linked above when you press the home button.

Next I installed tvQuickActionsPro (https://play.google.com/store/app...ickactions) this lets you remap buttons of popular streaming apps that you can uninstall/disable via adb. One example is disabling YouTube, installing SmartTube from here (https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube/releases). This is YouTube for android TV but with adblocking and sponsorblock in built and remapped the YouTube button on the TV to SmartTube.

I also uninstalled most of the extra streaming services to remap their buttons, prevent them from using system resources and disabled these apps which I found to be bloat but you can keep let them be on in the background if you want. This disables alexa, google assistant.

Compared to the '22 models looks like:

6 series > Q750G > 5 series > Q650G > 4 series > S450G


So almost directly in between the old 4 and 5 series TCL TVs if it really is the exact same specs as the Q6...but I dunno about that. Someone on AVS said it had a lower max brightness compared to the Q6 when comparing them.

i paid $150 for the 50 inch. SO 65 inch should be $250 to be a great deal. This is meh !

If your willing to spend the extra money, the tcl r6 series is much better as it has FALD, 120hz native, and mini-leds. You can also check rtings.com for the review and see how they compare.
Is this the R6? Sorry, TCL's numbering confuses the hell out of me

When will we start seeing 4k/1440p and 120hz refresh at this price?
This TV will do 120Hz (REAL 120Hz) at 1440p and 1080p with a wide VRR range based on this [rtings.com] review of the Q6, which is basically the same TV but may be brighter based on some anecdotal evidence from users.
