On paper, it has a lot of features many should want: QLED, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and Bluetooth. Also, I miss having the Google TV platform. I would say that it's a winner for a medium sized bedroom or something comparable.

In need a 39 inch. Anything larger won't fit into TV armoire. Yeah, I know, old style furniture.

Generally I buy 43 inch 4k smart tv's during holidays for 99 dollars. Some people wait, and some need it NOW. I do not have this tv, but I do have TCL, Onn, Insignia's all 43 inch 4k smart tv's with either fire OS/roku/ ...for 99 dollars. But when not on sale they go for 199 dollars. You guys know the drill. If you need it NOW, get it.

I have too many 4k tv's , especially in 43 inch's ... I do love them, if I buy more I would step into HOARDING mode. (that is a lie)... I'm already in Hoarding mode with these 43 inch 4k's . Seasoned slick dealer here ... what the hell am I in this thread for.... Smilie

Pretty interested in this for a bedroom tv! Does anyone know if this is the same unit? I have some best buy gift cards I've been wanting to use and hoping they will price match to the walmart deal/

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-...Id=6579458

It's a different model number but appears to be the same tv. I'm guessing Best Buy gets its own unique model # the same way Costco does? Thanks all

Turn on developer mode and turn off non system functions.
also remove unused apps or updates if it's baked in to os.

I had to do this when the TV app for over the air antenna channels stopped loading.

Google is good platform but it's slows down when memory is full.

This set is different than your bargain basement 43" tvs. The next step up the 6 series has 43" sets for the first time. The peak brightness on it is probably nearly 1.5-2x what the $99 ones are.

Actually I just looked it up on ratings. HDR Peak brightness

Q6-495. Cd/m
Q4- 253 cd/m
Q5-378 cd/m (this is the TV in this thread.)

BB one is the Q6-Series - this one Q5. Not much difference. Both with HDMI 2.0.

My aunt had a Sony 27" tube TV that was made in 1995. It filled her stand perfectly. Unfortunately, in 2015 when I bought her a new TV...I was only able to buy a 32" as that is all that would fit. In hindsight, it was a downgrade for her and I regret doing it. The Sony was still going strong and had never been repaired.

The stand was a hand crafted solid oak that probably cost $1500-$2000. So, definitely wasn't going to get rid of it.

We can't have a larger than 43" tv in our home because it will not fit (width wise) on top of our fireplace stand. And it can't be wall mounted as it sits at an angle.

Obviously, I have never replaced my 1080p TV as at 42"...there isn't a huge difference (I tested side by side with a friends 4k tv).

I just need to get new glasses each year and not watch anything with subtitles...lol.

No, the 60hz is too low for gaming.

Quote from CoreyR2384 :
While this is a good TV for the price, Dolby Vision isn't really a selling point, since it doesn't have true HDR (no dimming zones). HDR will generally look worse than SDR on these TVs, so the mentions of HDR and Dolby Vision are really just for marketing. Misleading marketing aside, which all manufacturers are guilty of, these are great for the price.
I don't know how much time you've spent with Dolby Vision. There are different levels or implementations of Dolby Vision obviously. But I had it on a few devices including TVs and it is definitely not a marketing gimmick. Especially when watching streamed content on something like Netflix. It makes the picture quality look unbelievably amazing. It doesn't need the dimming for the metadata to be not only useful, but noticeable. Other implementations of HDR are forgettable or unnoticeable after the first second or two. But Dolby vision is in a league of its own.

As far as using this TV for gaming, it depends on the type of gaming you are going to do. If you do mostly game streaming and console gaming, 60 hertz refresh rate which translate to a Max of 60 frames per second is what you're locked at anyway. If you're getting a display for computer gaming, you just can't appreciate how much 144 HZ or higher makes a difference. Even 120 hertz on something like an Xbox series X for the games that support it, is pretty incredible and for Shooters really drops the input lag. You have to be careful, cuz some TVs will use marketing lingo that says 240 hertz etc etc. But you need to look at the native panel refresh rate usually 60 HZ, occasionally 120 HZ, and just recently there are TVs with 144 Hertz native. The panel native refresh rate or the native 60, 120, 144 Hertz rate is the discrete limit for the possible frames per second in a game. So if you want to run a game at 4K and $120 or $140 hz, this is not the display for you. I would highly recommend prioritizing refresh rate which is to say higher hz over resolution under 4k or 2160p. The experience is much better. Dolby Vision for gaming is better for adventure games or other types of games that don't need low input lag like Call of Duty or other first person shooters. If you want to be competitive at first person shooters get the highest native refresh rate you can at 1080p with no Dolby vision or other processing that will increase input lag.
