Wow, really? I'm not in the market right now (happy with my P55-C1 for the time being) but I'm just impressed by the price to quality ratio of this thing. I'll be recommending it to friends if they want a budget upgrade option.

No, it's not. I have a 50" in mine and it's looking small. You have to get at least a 50".
So I think I'm sold on this. Perfect bedroom TV.

Do they make this TV in sizes bigger than 55"? I have a 47" 1080p and I don't want to upgrade until I can go substantially bigger.
Yeah, read the review in the OP. It's 60" breh.

65" later this year.
What are you talking about? There is no 60" version.
what do you mean "version"?

That input lag is fantastic for a big TV with HDR and everything.
If this were available in the UK I would have already ordered one.

55p605 instead of 55p607. Different remote. That's all.

I posted my impressions in the TV thread. I am super impressed. Also my review is the #1 on Amazon for this TV haha.

That gray-screen uniformity would be a deal-killer for me. I cannot stand the dirty-screen-effect (DSE), especially in video games. I've returned many otherwise-good LCD sets over the years because of it.

am i gonna be a fighting game and FPS champ after buying this set? stay tuned.
this and black uniformity (some corner clouds/flashlighting on mine) are my main complaints so far after owning it for a few days. we'll see how i feel about it. unfortunately bb only offers a 15 day return window.

Does anyone know of a similar quality TV sold in Europe?

Very good for the money. Shame it's not available in the U.K. as I may just have bit. Seems to tick a few boxes decently.

I'd assume the Samsung KS8000 or whatever model number it has in Europe. It's going to be more expensive though and it's a Samsung. I'm done with them personally.

This is a nice set but it's reportedly not in the same league as the ks8000. For $200 more you probably are getting your money's worth.

nvm
The KS8000 at the same size (55 inch) is literally 3x the price, €1599/$1790, of this TCL TV for €535/$599.
Anyway, this TCL 4K TV seems like a really good TV, you're getting crazy good value for that kind of money. The only bad thing is the gray screen uniformity. The viewing angles aren't great either, but I doubt you are gonna sit in front of the TV at such an angle.

I don't think anywhere is selling that for msrp but you cant really find the ks8000 new anymore. It's a discontinued 2016 set. People are comparing the prices for Groupon deals for refurbished sets or close out deals that most people won't be able to take advantage of.

Wife and I went into Best Buy and purchased three of these... will be available for pickup in a few days.
Replacing three older/broken TVs in the house, so i'll have to obsessively inspect all three of these over the course of the next 15 days to make sure we are 100% happy with the panels.
Will be a pain in the butt but worth it... I ALWAYS bought Samsung or LG TVs in the past so hoping these work out as a decent cheaper alternative.

funny when i recognize crossposting with avs
interested to hear how your different panels fare. mine has the uniformity issues that rtings mentioned and 3-4 dead pixels (impossible to see from viewing positions). but i dunno if i want to bother with an exchange as those are ocd level things and this is a budget set.

Don't be like me. I returned 2 Vizio P Series, 2 Vizio M, and a KS8500 due to uniformity issues before settling on a near perfect KS8000. I think my wife was about ready to divorce me lol
Fixed, Canada is not able to enter.

Haha yeah I saw a few posts here that mirrored discussions on AVS
I'm a bit OCD but not too bad... But I did go through 2 LG LCD panels and also 2 on my Samsung LCD before settling on what I thought was acceptable (FYI my Samsung LCD is at least 8 years old and still running solid where other brands have all failed) so curious to see how long the TCL last. Then again these are budget sets so if they last at least 2 years before breaking I won't be too upset.

From Rtings
Gray uniformity describes how well a TV is able to maintain a single, uniform color on the screen. Uniformity issues can look like darker patches around the screen, with corners and edges especially susceptible to looking darker than intended. Its particularly an issue for sports, where darker patches on the screen can affect the look of playing surfaces.
To evaluate gray uniformity, we take a photograph of the screen while it is displaying a single, solid color. Using that picture, we calculate both the standard deviation of the color values of the pixels across the entire screen, and the number and severity of darker patches in the center of the screen (where they matter most).
When it matters
Youre most likely to notice gray uniformity issues while watching sports, since playing surfaces are usually large stretches of a single color. Dirty screen effect will also be most obvious when there is a panning shot during sports. Most non-sports media tends to be a bit more varied, so you shouldnt have gray uniformity issues with anything else unless your TV has particularly poor uniformity.

Yep, buying this one too as a second one for my living room. Have an expensive LG in living room, but that's a temporary luxury till my brother that is coming back from texas comes to pick it up.
Personal opinion, this is the tv I'm going to buy for my pro and wait till 2019/2020 for a cheaper Panasonic/Sony OLED panel and a ps5.
Not trying to make a 2000+ dollar investment on Tv's that are still pricey and improving rapidly year over year for a console that mainly does checkerboard 4k.
