The HDMI splitter? Yeah it should work, should being the key word there. As long as the splitter is 2.0 compliant, it should support 4K HDR at 60fps. Not sure how your receiver would handle it all though. Another option for the Pro would be using an optical cable if your receiver supports that.
Nah not the menu UI. Just an annoying as fuck clicking sound that is constantly in the background of all audio. Now I know why this thing was so cheap.

If you got it from best buy They might deliver you a new one for free.

Hur hur. 55. Whatever the size. Doesn't matter. Sound quality is beyond trash.their is no 65inch version of this tv

i don't disagree with that. if you care about sound quality i wouldn't recommend tv speakers for any tv though...outside of maybe the ones where they include a sound bar that isn't attached to the tv. tv speakers have gone done the drain every since the race to get as thin as possible (not to mention screen uniformity)
back to your issue. i don't have any clicking on mine though. try contacting tcl support to see if they have any idea. if its outside of the return period but inside warranty that sounds like something they'd cover with a warranty replacement if its a hardware defect.
Good advice. I don't expect great sound quality from television speakers, but I also don't expect obnoxious iPod clickwheel sound every time any sound plays. It's crazy to me this kind of thing would pass QA (I assume there actually isn't a QA program for these making them so cheap)

they supposedly are able to make them so cheap because of vertical integration but who knows. they might actually just selling them cheap like vizio to try and get market share and brand recognition.

It's 100% a market share thing. I had never heard of this company before this year now I hear it piping up all over the place. Ryan mccafferty from ign mentioned on a podcast that a high up person with Microsoft recommended the tv to him after he said he wasn't interested in the X because he didn't have a 4k tv.

technically they've been in the us for a long time just that they licensed the rca brand name and sold tvs under that name. you see that a lot with home appliances actually. they've been doing a pretty hard marketing push this year though.
i've seen them partner with a bunch of random things. Ellen just gave away 55inch s series to her entire audience the other day, ucla athletics/rose bowl official tv partnership, viewing party for The Bachelor lol

Yep, Vizio did the same thing to establish their cred.
TCL isn't the only company doing Hisense also.
Having said that, if I had $2000 I would have gotten the Sony X930E.
ok now that I have HDR gaming X1S, i wanted to revisit this,
yes in a couple games so far I need to have gamma at 1.8-2.0 as well as upping the color quite a bit and drop brightness by 1-2 points to keep the rixchness
otherwise it is too dark

I guess I should ask how the image retention is
JohnnyFootball
GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
It's non-existent.
Burn in and image retention are pretty much non-existent on LED TVS, except under ridiculously extreme circumstances.
Plasma this aint.

You obviously never owned a plasma, because this comment is total ignorance.
Early plasmas had issues with image retention. Measures were built in to plasmas that largely nullified those issues. By 2006, permanent image retention was largely a thing of the past for plasmas. Could images still remain if left unchecked for hours? Sure, but it was the epitome of an overblown issue.
To this day plasmas provide probably the best overall picture quality.
While I don't see it happening, I would love nothing more than for plasmas to make a comeback and be compatible with 4K/HDR. The Pioneer Kuro's are some of the best TVs of all time.
I have some image retention on an LG LED from 2011. Hopefully I can avoid that with TCL

Plasma TV's also provide the largest electric bills, lol.

My old ass Toshiba lcd has bad image retention. Takes only about 5 minutes or a static image to happen.

I managed to get in on the Amazon.ca deal for the 55", as usual thou the delivery date is set as Sept 20-jan 4.
Thanks Amazon for being so specific.
Not that I mind a lot, I'd likely need a new receiver since my current one is > 4 years old and so probably can't drive 4k/hdr anyway

It kinda matters in that you may have the S405, not the P605/607, since you mentioned earlier that you got in on a $400 price, which the S405 was on sale for this past weekend. The P605/607 may have the same issue that you're saying, but yeah.

Is it for sure confirmed that TCL is not doing a 65" version of the P607 tv? Major bummer if so. Right now I'm eyeing the 2017 Vizio M-series for Black Friday instead as a result.

Thanks! I had heard people say as much, but hadn't actually seen any articles or news for it. Maybe my google search is broken lol. I most definitely agree with the writer of the cnet article. A 65" model would have been a killer seller and a considerable threat to the more expensive models sold by other brands. What on earth was TCL thinking? Now I'm really sad, but will continue to watch the price on the Vizio M-series.

these tv's are on a one year cycle. if they can't even release it before CES 2018 or get good yields for larger panels it'd probably make more financial sense for them to just work on next year's model and hope they can get out all sizes at the same time for next year.

I have a plasma at home that I bought three years ago. The image quality if fucking amazing.... when you don't notice that the destiny HUD is burned into the lower left corner. I was actively trying to avoid burn in with destiny but was unable to.
In the winter they put off so much heat they cut down on your heating bill tho lol.
So the only reason to get the monitor is IPS screen. Is the color shift pretty bad on the TCL? I know its a VA panel.
Oh ...
I was just about to ask when are they releasing this thing in Europe. I guess I'll have to look for another one.

is anyone noticing in destiny 2 that you can see flashlighting in the corners in the loading screens where its mostly black except for the destiny logo?
seems like fald isn't working for me in some instances. unless the screen isn't black? :\

Are you playing directly to the tv or going through an a/v receiver?

directly from ps4 pro to tv

I can't decide if I want a vizio m 65 or the 55 inch tcl.
I wouldn't call it "pretty bad," but it can be noticeable. But I decided not to buy that monitor after watching some videos on it for gaming that pretty much confirmed it was awful for that purpose.
It's the 401. What's the difference?
RedAssedApe

s401 is a variation of the s405. i think the only difference might be the color of the feet :]

The 401 doesn't have FALD, that's one of the major differences.
Not sure then, I ran into a similar problem when I had my a/v receiver set to handle the video instead of just sending the source to the tv and letting it handle it .
Anyone else having problems with this TV and PS4 Pro after the recent system update? I tried to play Uncharted Lost Legacy, and when the game went to switch to HDR, I got a static/snow screen.
EDIT: Seems to be back to normal after I restarted the system.
EDIT 2: PS4 shut-off all of a sudden when I tried Uncharted again. LOL, great update, Sony.

My friend has a tight budget and doesn't need a huge TV screen.
Any recs for a smaller, lower-spec set (1080p acceptable, HDR optional) that's still good for gaming and is no more than $300ish?

Use either automatic or RGB. I use automatic and it has worked fine so far.
There is nothing good in that price range. $600 for the P605 is really the best option.
Thanks. RGB was screwing it up; automatic seems to be working fine.
Weird, it worked fine in my testing. Make sure you have the port set to HDMI 2.0 in the TV settings. I'm wondering if there's a chance your PS4 will default to 4:2:0 instead of 4:2:2 when the port is not set to 2.0.
As has been stated on avs forums fald is f'f up right now. After the latest update there is no difference in the medium and high settings, it's on low on anything non hdr. Try it.
Destiny looks like a muddy mess on my set right now.
