I noticed this deformation on the outer frame of the C835 TV.. There is no effect on the screen or the image. I own the TV 5 months ago. I initially think that it is because of the screen temperature and the poor quality of the plastic used. I hope it doesn't get worse or cause damage to the screen.

Good morning. I've had the same FW (v503) for a while now and the gamebar works fine. This statement is a bit silly, but you know that it is only available when connected to a console, right?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Omo De Carton:
Do you know if the plan to resolve the bug releted to the 4KCam module?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tonarii:
Indeed my bad, i was almost certain that the game mode options were still available in the menu even without the PC (or console) connected (not possible to activate the mode but you could still have access to the menu).

My home UI changed after a reboot while my last firmware update was a while ago, that's what disturbed me i think (maybe there was an UI update in the background from google play store).
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] salvocos:
Hello @Alepisci, I also have a c835, but I am using it with a Yamaha soundbar via optical cable (S/PDIF).

Unluckily, it is not possible to complete deactivate the ONKIO TV speakers, which also uses audio-channel (making real multichannel audio impossible).

Could you confirm that using one of the latest Yamaha AV through eARC the TV speakers go off?

If not I might consider giving up on TCL (although it looks great).

Thanks a lot.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Alepisci:
Good morning, @salvocos . Surely the TV turns off the internal speakers when connecting to my yamaha via EARc. I even use the TV remote control to lower and/or raise the receiver's audio. I just had to get used to using it. To lower or increase 0.5 by 0.5 on the receiver, you have to click. Holding for more than 1s, the volume goes up.

Hello everyone.

I bought a 55c835 and i updated the firmware to version 503. I have connected the tv with my pc via the hdmi 1 port ( with an hdmi 2.1 cable ).

At 144 hz the tv can't go to 10 bit colour it stays at 8 bit, at 120 hz works with 10 bit colour . Is this normal or is it a firmware problem?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] tonarii:
Hi, what is your PC setup? Do you play in 4k? 2k?

Does your graphics card also support hdmi 2.1?

I'm not sure i can try because my 5700Xt only supports hdmi 2.0 and i think i'll have bandwidth limitation.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
Yes, it's strange. When you disable vrr at the tv menu you can have 10 bit color with HDR at 4K 120 Hz and the option to use local dimming. Maybe it's firmware related. I tried to downgrade to v474 but with no success.

Hello @stasiof I have a 55c835 (bought in Japan, V8-R51MT07) and have upgraded from V007 to V038.

I use the TV connected to my PC and it was working before updating.

What happens now is that whenever I restart my PC, the video (from the PC) appears but the audio does not play.

If I use the remote and change to whichever input source (e.g. media player) and go back to the PC than the sound from the PC would play.

Do you suggest to downgrade? If so, could you provide the link to the Firmware?

Thanks a lot.

Hello, I'm considering buying a C935 and wanted to know if it's worth it or if I shouldn't. I once had a C825 and it had a lot of bugs. Does the C935 have as many bugs as the C825?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jimmydix79:
Hi guys, Iam looking for help with my new 65 c735 and connection to PC. It has been really flustrating few days I spent with the PC to TV connection.

I have 3060ti card capable of 2.1 as well as a 2.1. cable (unfortunately 10m long because of the room spacing. its a special cable with internal electronics - tried 2 different cables already).

My problem is that when I send signal from PC to TV in 4k 120 Hz to port 1 in tv (144hz capable) I cannot activate VRR because I loose the signal.

If I activate VRR in tv settings the TV goes immediately to no signal mode. When I deactivate VRR in settings the TV goes back to normal PC signal and I see the picture from PC.

also the game bar doesnt allow me to go rapid-two thunders (black screen/no signal), only normal and eco seems to work.

without rapid screen settings I also dont see G-Sync tab in nvidia so I cannot activate that too. On normal or eco mode I cant see the G-Sync tab in nvidia settings.

Tried several settings in windows and nvidia panel but no luck so far.

any ideas what to do?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Mahoubin:
I think 10 meters are too long for the HDMI cable even with special electronics. Try an optical HDMI cable.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jimmydix79:
Yep, tommorow I will try to move the PC closer to the TV and try to use shorter 2.1 hdmi cable for a test.

To my knowledge this 10m cable should be working too... Its a special optical fibre cable that specificaly supports VRR among other things.

I have a bad feeling that the new and shorter cable wont make a difference for me but I will test it anyway to confirm the cable compatibility, I suspect Iam having something wrong in the settings in either TV or PC.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] kwh....:
It seems like it's fixing most of its minor bugs, but it has 2 major faults that it doesn't seem to be fixing or maybe not able to fix. One is unusable crackling sound with Dolby sound in cinema sound setting in the build in speakers. The other I guess is only a problem on the 75 inch with bright line and with certain colors really distorted coming far down below the black bar when for example watching movie with the right aspect ratio. It's actually also to the right of black content but that's minimum how much that ruins things. But for me, the top distortion is completely unacceptable. It can be helped with local dimming on low or disabled or turn contrast way down, but that's not acceptable solutions.

Thanks stasiof:...All good after installing a file manager
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
They do recommend 2m cables or less for optimum bandwidth, however i have the same GPU and the same TV and can tell you that its better to run one HDMI from the GPU to port 1 on the TV, and then i have a second HDMI (extended display) running from the onboard Intel graphics to my AVR which does audio. This way seems to be better but i am yet to be able to activate G-Sync. The VRR is only supposed to work with game consoles i think.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Phinxx:
You need to go to system menu, about, update. And choose local install (usb) and it should work.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
I had also a similar problem with output resolutions , refresh rates and color output with my 55C835 paired with the amd rx 6900 xt. If it's not the gsync incompatibility or the cable length maybe you should look the bandwidth your nvidia rtx 3060 ti can give, look specs from other sites about the resolution, refresh rate and color output it can deliver.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
No VRR also works with PCs. I have activated it at my pc. At PCs VRR is also shown as GSync by nvidia or FreeSync by amd.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
Yes I have since had it working on mine. I'm using 2m long HDMI 2.1 cable plugged into the HDMI 1 port on the tv.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
Yes it works on every game not only console like games. Unless it's an arcade or adventure etc that caps at 60hz by default.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] HexedHavoc:
Does anyone know if its possible to do 444 at anything above 4k@60hz with the latest firmware?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Alepisci:
Good morning. On the PC I could (I no longer use the PC connected to the TV) do 444 with the dynamic output range limited to 120hz on the PC in the second HDMI port. But I preferred to use full RGB. I could not, however, 144hz on the 1st HDMI port. Maybe because my card is an Nvidia (RTX 3070). From what I've been reading, only an AMD video card could reach those 144hz.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] HexedHavoc:
@Alepisci Did you do image tests etc to see if it was displaying at 444? cause when I test it on older firmware that I am currently using, while it is set to 444 - 4k@120hz it actually converts to 442.

If I set it to pc mode, 4k@60hz, only then does it display 444 correctly.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Alepisci:
Well, I change it in Nvidia's own program (Nvidia control panel). It only allows the selection that the monitor, in this case the TV, accepts and reproduces.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] HexedHavoc:
Yes you can select it and the gpu will send the signal, but when running in 120hz the tv downsamples it to 422 unfortunately :(
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
I have the 55C835 ( with the v503 firmware ) paired with my pc and my gpu now is the amd rx 7900 xtx. It works via hdmi 1 at 144hz 10bit color and at RGB 444 and vrr and allm enabled.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jimmydix79:
Now everything got a little messier after I found out possible reason of my issues.

I tested shorter cable (3 m long) and everything worked well with PC. I decided to test the 10m cable again and the TV worked also well with this cable.

I am really, really confused since it seems like the problem I have is caused with electricity circuit in my household.

Because when the TV was 10m away from my PC it was propably plugged in different electricity circuit than my PC and that could cause heavy interference and my signal was lost after few minutes.

Now that the TV is closer to my PC (I had to move the TV closer because I wanted to test the shorter cable) and on the same electric circuit it seems that it all works well even with the original optical fibre cable 10m long.

What led me to this conclusion was also a problem with DVB-T2 cable that if connected to the TV I saw heavy flickering and blicking on the Hdmi source. After dissconnecting the antena cable the flickering stopped so there must be something wrong.

can anynone confirm I have a correct deduction?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jimmydix79:
so for everyone who is having issues with this line of TCL TV´s .... putting it in the same electricity socket as your PC could have an impact on the quality of the overal signal. There can be some insulation problem in my tv or its a common issue. No idea how is that possible.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] HexedHavoc:
What does this image show?

http://madshi.net/madVR/ChromaRes.png
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
It may just be a HDMI handshake issue affecting the edid each time you've unplugged/plugged in the cables again. Even the order in which you plug things in can affect this drastically. More can be read about this here: https://www.firefold.com/blogs/news/edid-and-the-hdmi-handshake
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
I see the 422 and the 444 like empty space.

The strange thing is that whatever i choose at lower refresh rate ( 120hz ) rgb 444 or ycbr 444 or ycbr 422 the picture is always shown the same.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] HexedHavoc:
Yep, its cause the only way to show 444 is to set the tv to PC mode. Then set to 4k@60hz and then it will show properly. They could probably update this via firmware as its unlikely 60hz is the limitation. Maybe they cant get 4k@120hz with 444 due to bandwidth limitations or chipset limitations... but they may be able to do 100hz for example.

I'd really like to contact them about this so they could look into it and hopefully implement 444 at a higher refresh and in game mode... anyone know how to go about this?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] jimmydix79:
thanks for the tip. I will check it out latter. Right now I have the best picture ever on my TV - Trump formally charged :))

Does the HDR works properly for you with the pc at 4K 120hz or 144hz with VRR enabled?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Alepisci:
VRR is just for gaming.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
Yes i know, i mean in gaming ( with a game that supports HDR and you must enable HDR also in the game options ) can you play with HDR and VRR enabled at 4K 120hz or 144hz ?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] HexedHavoc:
Don't bother with vrr since I don't notice tearing, but mainly because I am using a displayport to hdmi cable (only a 2080ti which doesnt support hdmi 2.1) and thus unable to even if I wanted to :P
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
Yes i know VRR is a crap especially if your fps are increased enough you don't need this setting. Also i have noticed that disabling VRR from the TV settings you can use HDR properly in games but you lose the option to have 144hz, you stay at 120hz ( which it doesn't make much of a difference ).
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] HexedHavoc:
Yep, an extra 24fps, not a big deal, 120 is smooth enough for everything. Most games I even cap lower at around 90fps just to keep things cooler and not wasting as much power. Only with FPS (where the benefits are more noticable) will I cap around 117 fps.

Is anybody here using a PC with the TV and an AV Receiver whilst having 4K@120hz and eARC? I realise that HDMI 4 (eARC port) on the tv is only 60hz, I was just wondering if it's possible or if there's a workaround to have the PC plugged into the AVR and use eARC whilst also having 120hz? I thought that eARC ports had to be HDMI 2.1 so it doesn't make sense that the HDMI 4 port is only 60hz.....
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
For eARC you don't need much bandwidth so hdmi 2.0 is more than enough for sound, if you want also to pass 4K 120hz through there is imposisble .But the good thing is you also have a full bandwidth hdmi 2.1 (48 gbps ) on port 1 and another hdmi 2.1 (40 gbps) on port 2, you can test there if you can use eARC.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Alepisci:
Good morning. Simple solution. I connected the PC and the console (Xbox X series) directly to the TV at port 1 and 2. And another cable at HDMI port 4 (EARc) coming out to the EARc input of my receiver, which is a yamaha RX v681. Even because the receiver itself only has HDMI 2.0 ports. And voila. Everything works very well: Atmos, DTS and other codecs (although the TV's DTS is the simplest, there is no DTS:X)

And in windows, what is your default sound output device? The TV? Ive been using my RTX3060Ti to output the video to HDMI 1 and then ive been using the onboard Intel graphics to output the audio to my Onkyo AVR. The Intel obviously appears as a small monitor which i park off to the top left and i dont use.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
When i want to use the soundbar on my pc and not the pc speakers i select the gpu output for sound in windows.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] garethk1979:
So your output is travelling via earc? I cant seem to use that and utilise the sound formats i prefer, its like theres some kind of bandwidth issue. Im listening to Dolby TrueHD Atmos and DTS HD Master. Do you know if your eARC can pass those formats losslessly?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] johnlasx:
yes through eARC, but from the pc i don't think it supports dolby atmos (and dolby vision) yet.It has an app at microsoft store though it's called dolby access but i don't know if it works properly cause you have to pay.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Alepisci:
In a way, yes. I don't feel the need to put another cable connecting PC and receiver for sound. The HDMI cable carries video and sound to the TV. I use another HDMI cable in the EARc port as I said and I receive sound on the receiver.
