I have the same lic-sync issue, not constantly, with the normal TV channels reception though the antenna coaxial cable. So it should not be matter of setting but it is rather a bug.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] OnyOnaki:
Hello there, I recently bought a TCL 50p731 (which is the same as p735 I believe) and I have been having some problems.

Firstly the TV seemed fine but when I put on a Netflix show with Dolby Vision, the Brightness of the TV started changing according to the scene lighting. Like lagging a bit and it is definitely noticable. I have tried everything... firmware update, turning off all power saving modes, secret menu settings but it's still there. Should I just return it? Am I missing any fixes that I can apply?

Also the built-in Chromecast lags so much that it is unusable.

P.S. I have a Chromecast with Google TV that is just far superior and I can use that but it irritates me that I bought a TV so I have have that built in.

Any help appreciated thanks.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lapist:
Dolby Vision has information about brightness of individual scenes encoded in the video stream, thus I suppose that is the reason why TCL disabled brightness control for it and it regulates brightness according to Dolby Vision stream automatically - you can just choose if you want bright or dark preset (at least on my C635). I am not sure how other manufacturers handle Dolby Vision., but if you want to disable automatic brightness regulation, I suppose you need to avoid Dolby Vision (e.g. Xbox has option to enable/disable it, but I didn't find such option in apps like Netflix nor the TV settings). If you see lagging in it, is it better when you play Dolby Vision content on Chromecast?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] OnyOnaki:
Well yes there aren't any problems when playing the same scenes on my Chromecast

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] d_xd:
thank you @mevisto for that comprehensive comment and help to the community. it can help me in teh future.

@stasiof thank you for the hard work, and keep us up to date on the firmware versions.

How do you know there is a new update. my tv says its updated, but there is still at least the v501 that i believe that is the latest for the c635.

How has been your experience with the c635 after the IMG Update? any audio delay on tv channels or dolby vision problems with brightness?

Best regards

I just purchased the P635 model 50 inch. I believe 43 inch panel is made by CSOT and this 50 inch panel could be Innolux I'm not sure. CSOT panels are good in my opinion, I'm not just sure if they manufacture 50 inch LCD models.

They improved somehow especially for gaming. No ghosting, no motion blur (image duplication), etc. Compared to the budget Samsung BU8000 (AU7100/AU7700) series: This TCL has better backlight (direct led and better grey uniformity), better os system, clearer sound and more image options to calibrate if you want to. It has slighter backlight bleed at both sides, very small. Samsung TVs usually don't have any kind of backlight bleed but their white/grey uniformity is a bad lottery

Samsung budget line has better upscalling for 480p and 720p. Everything else does not justify costing more than this TCL. TCL algorithm for 480p and 720p sources is to soft image, similar to what bilinear filter does to emulators. 1080i source is totally fine thogh.

Here it is a 1080p source (Playstation 4) with no anti-aliasing (this particular game has no anti-aliasing.).

Sharpness is set to 15 instead of 0. Game mode is off

Look how well it upscale 1080p. No artifacts, no shimmering.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] cotenzom:
IF I understand correctly the P635 model is "HDMI 2.1" because of eARC? other than that is there anything like VRR at 18mbps?

EDIT: I found my panel model. It is CV500U2-T01. Great colors, CHOT is truly budget and good.

Hi, any idea why can I not update C935 from USB stick? I have message : Validation of update package failed. Thx for help

Try other USB brand or reformat existing.

Be sure is proper zip file on USB and your TV recognise USB ,when inserted.

Start update...setting...about....software update....local update.

My 55C635 has Clear LED Motion option there, but only for some type of content. For example, the option is missing when Dolby Vision content is being played. But anyway, I don't think this option is useful for anything - it flickers like old 50Hz CRT TV when it is enabled..

Small question regarding updates via Google Plays store.

Yesterday I noticed that there was an update of Google TV and another for the TCL launcher, do you have to update them manually or not and this is only done during a general firmware update?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] dah145:
In my case I haven't seen the option for any type of content whatsoever, even if I wasn't planning on using it this is very weird behavior... I will try updating to the latest firmware and see if it appears.

On a side note, it was interesting when TCL support asked me for a picture of my back input panel, as the serial number and model number/part number were not enough to identify my unit.

I have attached a picture I found in a forum where we can see eARC on the first HDMI port (full 2.1).

remote controller is working with V470

thank you so much.

and the reason why i did downgrade to v440 is Doby Vision and Doby Atmos doesn't work sometime.

my firmware version history is start with V4??(i can't remember, it's factory version) -> v473 OTA -> v474 OTA -> v440 IMG -> V470 IMG(current).

dolby vision on Apple Tv app shows me somtime broken and repeat a screen.

and Doby Atmos is activated olny once in almost every firmware virsion.

(after activated once, no more i can't see the Doby Atmos icon on other screen)

here is some question.

dolby atmos seems to be still not workng (on apple tv app, also xsx). if i want to check that dolby atmos activate or deactivate state, how can i check it?

do you know why C835 doesn't support Doby Vision with 120Hz?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shtepsel:
Hi guys, sorry if the question is not for here, but I've almost lost hope now.

I have the 55c635 and use the "EON" application for live TV. It's an app used by a few Eastern European providers.

The issue I'm having is with dropped frames. Basically every second or the video gets choppy. This is mostly visible in panning shots and rolling titles. I've also noticed it when casting from my phone.

All the unnecessary apps and settings are disabled and there are not pending updates.

Any ideas how to fix this ?

I have the same issue on my 55C635 with apps of local Czech IPTV providers - I think that the TV has problems with rendering 25/50 FPS content to 60 Hz display. The same stuttering appears when I play those streams in Kodi (mostly it is 1080p MPEG4 or HEVC, 50fps or 25 fps).

I tried contacting TCL support, but I didn't get any answer, as it seems they are quite underinformed and try to blame the providers of the apps, rather than trying to fix it on their side.

So far I am running those apps on my Fire TV Stick 4k Max plugged to HDMI port instead, as it plays much smoother there.

Hi all

Bought a TCL c935 (here in Denmark). Not really pleased with the vrr functionality of this tv..tried xbox series x and ps5. Both give me a signal not detected when starting a game in vrr mode, which last for 5 seconds. When I turn vrr off, games start up as usual. Anything to do about that delay?

Picture wise in gaming I think clarity is an issue..slight blur. At 60fps..not 120. But I am still checking if I have messed too much around with settings.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tekkno100:
I bought a TCL 43C735 a week ago.

This TCL 43c735 is nice but ..

HBB tv does not work properly on this TV. HBB TV live channels (live stream, in Poland, mux 8 and Live channels on TVP Go) do not work.

Likewise, the TV rewind function does not work on TVP channels in HBB.

Additionally,

By activating the hbb functions in the TV menu, the TV station list no longer works. By default, the list of TV stations is on the remote control under the "OK" button (and it should be under the "LIST" button). When enabling HBB, the "OK" button is a function button for HBB and it is not possible to include a TV station list.

Is there any newer, correct software for TCL 43C735?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] lapist:
Did you check your email account, associated with Google services and TCL, if you didn't receive any email asking for password reset or something like that?

I suppose you can also try flashing IMG firmware using USB stick, what will cause factory reset too..Or try to sign in using a different account.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] shtepsel:
I've reached out to TCL support by all means (email and whats app ) and there is case number for the issue.
