I don't do much gaming, but when I was, it was without DV.

DV is crap on this TV. With original firmware, brightness changes were put of sync with the scene (at least in movies), with current versions it stays on maximum brightness, so it at least doesn't disturb, but black areas look grayish at night. So movies look better without DV, I guess it may be similar with games.

VRR works fine, at least on 1080p with Xbox, and I didn't notice any major input lag.

You can always downgrade FW by flashing OTA file using IMG method without loosing data (but some things may get broken and then you need to flash IMG firmware which does also factory reset, but you can get to your old version back if needed).
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] justatekkie:
I wouldn't be quick to call DV crap, it actually looks quite good in games but the kicker is you have to put up with input lag for the DV to show images in a decent bit depth. So, no VRR and DV at the same time.

DV is still a new thing in gaming or perhaps it's the Xbox's fault, who knows.

Btw, my DV stays on maximum brightness, I don't have the problem you've described.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] justatekkie:
I think you misunderstood. I meant is there any way to enjoy input lag free gaming in DV without having to turn on VRR as that degrades quality? Color banding and all with VRR enabled in DV for games so...

Just a quick note from my 55c635 experience... unfortunately, the TV backlight died this evening... when turning on the TV, I can see for a millisecond the red TCL logo, then everything's black... but if I use my phone light, I can barely see the Google menu letters on the screen... Still under warranty, this TV isn't 2 years old yet... let's see what will happen...

Latest firmware is V605....post #1,441
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Staniiiiik:
TCL finally!!!! released OTA update v603 also for EU region and i received it now here in the Czech Republic. I asked TCL via all possible channels why my 75C935 didnt have any update even it is/was their flagship TV with 8 years software support (such long support TCL promises in the TV C935 datasheets...) and i was still on v474 for more then 6 months (V8-T61 5T03-LF1V474.000418) with lots of SW bugs. And after many many questions (mainly about the bugs i found) from my side about it they finally released it also in my region.

Now i have to check which bugs have been fixed/addressed ...

My findings with V603 on 75C935 after few minutes of checking TV are (same bugs were already in V474 on 75C935):

- switching TV channels by pressing P+ or P- will switch the input to HDMI (or another input like Google Movies) once you are on the last channel in your channels list (or first channel and press P-). Instead of to switch from the last channel to the first one (and vice versa) ... I don’t see any reason why P+/P- changes the inputs. Especially when there is already dedicated button for changing the inputs on both TV controllers...

- Game Master menu is tragically translated to the Czech language, but this is the last thing to solve, it bothers me least...

- i have console PS5 connected to the HDMI2. And the TV is not able to power off itself once i power off the PS5 even all CEC HDMI options are enabled. But TV is able to power on itself after i power on the console. So, CEC is not working properly.

- Once i power on the TV it sometimes/randomly shows me the last chosen input no matter what i set in the TV Menu. I have set the TV to show me Google TV home screen (desktop) all the time and didn’t choose the option "last input". It’s really annoying together with the previous point when you have to manually power off TV after you power off PS5 and you didn’t change the input on TV to DTV before you power it off. Then when you start the TV again it won’t shows you the Home screen (desktop) but it will start the PS5 console (it was the last input) and you have to find the console controller to power off PS5 and then switch the input to DTV/application/home screen or what you want... And if TV finally (from time to time) starts to the Home screen/Desktop + PS5 console was the last input and i choose the TV app/icon it will starts the PS5 console too, same as previous case...

- I still can’t modify the Home screen (desktop) at all. Can’t remove e.g. Prime Video or Google Play Movies ribbons/strips/lanes/bars or sort them vertically even my older OLED TV with Android is able to do that

What was fixed in V603:

- Game Master had to be enabled manually every time again once i started the console in V474. Now there is the option to have it enabled all the time on chosen HDMI input...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] zamyxxx:
Please, how can I get it on the TV? I can't do it via usb flash. Thank you
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] 001248/776:
Yeah that is both incredibly annoying and stupid - I can't count how many times the tv needlessly turned on my PS5 thanks to this behavior of channels switching...

Another annoying one is when browsing through EPG it will switch to the highlighted channel if you stay on it for a second or two.

The translations are typical Chinese translations and are universally hopeless.

I have 43C735 with v601 firmware and i have noticed that standby led doesn't accept off option.

I set it to off in settings, turn off tv and after some time led turns on.

Does anybody else have this problem on 601 firmware?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Panenca:
Hi everyone, sorry for my bad english. I have a TCL 55C635 EU version and I have a problem with the application search bar. When I press it the TV does nothing. I have checked for OS and services updates and have done a fabric restore but it hasn't worked. I do not have GooglePlay and can't search new applications. The only solution TCL Tech Service has given me is to use RMA, but I think if I manually update the TV it will work. Here is my configuration:

Serial number: Z2216007618

Product version: V8-R51MT05-LF1V437.020554

TV+ OS Version: V5.2.0 (V8-2202150-MF1V520)

Client type: TCL-EU-RTD51M-S1

I have seen on previous pages that version V601 is available, but where can I find the file?

I have upgraded to 601 version but the bar is still not working. I flashed to FAT32 and moved the GooglePlay shortcut to the same USB but it doesn't recognize the file when I open it with the TV file manager.

Edit: is shortcut this treated like an IMG?

You need to study your TV more.....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Panenca:
Mate you are the best, seriously, I think that I will need to use the RMA and stay without the TV, but now in hours it works all very well. I can't express how happy am I for this.

The bar I mentioned above is located under Applications>Bar at the bottom of the screen. But now I have the GooglePlay app and I don't need this bar, logging into the GooglePlay app works fine.

Some information and thoughts concerning people using soundbar instead internal tv speakers...I have a JBL BAR 300 connected directly to eARC of 55C735 through hdmi 2.1 cable. In sound settings digital audio is set to AUTO, connection type - ARC. CEC is also enabled in settings. I am playing movies from a PC with MPC-HC player and K-lite codec pack, PC is connected to the TV again with hdmi 2.1 cable. When I play movies with Dolby Atmos, it shows "Bitstreaming" instead number of output channels. Is this configuration OK and should i change from AUTO to PASSTHROUGH in TV audio settings to get uncompresed Dolby Atmos/TrueHD Surround ? Does it matter if Dolby Atmos option in TV audio settings is On or OFF ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
Bitstreaming is lossless audio (TrueHD etc), so you're already getting the best results but I'd change it to passthrough on the TV anyway just to be safe.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] romansavov:
Do you have any idea, why the vocals/voices in Atmos movies are so quiet compared to the sound effects. I always have to operate with volume up and down buttons of the remote control :(
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
Is your system calibrated using the AVRs built in measuring/setup system and microphone?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] romansavov:
Yes, there is a calibration button on the remote control of soundbar. According JBL the calibration sound setup process ensures the soundbar delivers the best 3D surround effects for any interior and room layout.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
Oh ok sorry I thought you were using an AVR with speakers. I guess with a sound bar you get what you're given to a certain degree.

Hi guys, i have a problem about Dolby Atmos . My tv is 65c935. It came with 603 upgrade. There wasnt any problem about it. After it updates itself by OTA to 603 this problem showed itself. I have upgraded to 605 but it is still alive :(

The problem is when i turn on dolby atmos setting the sound is like crackle. as i said before it has started with v603 upgrade. This is a satalite channel which has dolby sound also it is the same for netflix movies which has dolby atmos. But when i exit and reopen netflix movie it turns to normal after 3-5 reopen. Another channel doesnt support dolby sound so there is no problem about it.

Here is a video about it. I dont know why but video's sound is low. Pls use a headphone to here it well.

What should i do?

I thought that V999 is only for beta versions, and stable versions have lower version numbers. I don't see how they will release newer stable version with 999 or "higher" version number.
