Ty. I just upgraded the firmware to this one.
I just bought and installed the tcl 55c735 144hz 4k tv. bought it mainly so I can game on it from my 12900K 3080 TI PC that supports 2.1 HDMI unfortunately the max hz I can choose is 120Hz in the NVIDIA control panel and I cant enable the Game Master Mode. I can enter the Game Bar though with my remote.

Do I miss out inputlagwise?

I tried different 2.1 HDMI cables.
The tv is in PC mode.
In the attached file a screenshot of some more settings i have enabled.
Gonna call the tcl helpdesk monday but maybe someone here also knows the answer. Any help is welcome.

Hello everybody,
I bought a TCL 55c835 a few days ago, and it arrived with fw V8-T615T03-LF1V438.000296

I encountered a problem with the 5ghz wifi: I have divided networks with different SSIDs and the 5ghz band set by the modem in auto (20/40/80 mhz). Unfortunately my 55c835 does not detect the 5ghz network, indeed it does not detect ANY 5ghz network (not even the hotspots of other smartphones).
Is this a known problem or a bug on mine?

Set in your wifi router 5ghz band to a different lower channel, for example 48 instead of auto mode.

Exactly...for example channel 36 is ok for me...I have seen the same issue in a Mecool KM6 android box, so I manually have set the 5Gz channel in my modem. And my 55C835 works smoothly with channel 36! :)

Ok, I set channel 36 and now the 5ghz network appears correctly.
How does this happen? what channels are supported?

Hi there.

I have just bought a tcl 43c635. I renamed one of the hdmi inputs. I now have the original plus the custom named input. However I cannot find a way of deleting the custom named input.

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. A few days ago I purchased a 50P735 and I have the following issue.
When I turn off the TV sometimes the stand by led switches off and then there is no way to turn the TV on again from the remote or TV's physical button. I always have to unplug it in order to turn on. I have switched off any energy savings and and I have enabled fast turn on. I have already made a factory reset but nothing changed. Is is a faulty TV or is there anything else I can do.

Have been updated to V477 automatically when first switched on.

I don't know why you are messing with power...:rolleyes:
Once you plug TV in socket, On and Off can be done with remote control.
When TV is ON...
short press on remote...stand by
long press on remote....TV Off
Why you switched off any energy savings ?

Yes, I have switched off energy savings.
I always use the remote, I just checked the button to turn it on only when the remote could not do the job. But not even TV button can turn it on once the stand by led switches off.
This is really frustrating....
I still have to option to return it back (it will take 2days to return to the shop) but I was just wondering if that is a bug from the update that TV automatically installed.

Hi, folks.

I've been using Chromecast for years and some weeks ago I bought the latest Chromecast (HD, not 4K). The thing is that a some days ago, I bought also the TCL 55C635, that comes with Google TV. What should I do? Do I return the Chromecast? I bought it JUST for the TV that I just stopped using today and that I'm gonna sell soon. I don't want it to carry it with me if I go to a hotel or things like that.

The BIG difference that I've seen is that Google Chromecast uses Android TV 12 and the C635 uses Android TV 11. :/ And also, the TCL comes full of bloatware...

Thanks for your advice!

BTW, my firmware is V8-R51MT05-LF1V477.020694

So I have more info. If I turn off TV and after 3-4 minutes turn it on again, it turns on quick to home screen. If I turn it on about 30 minutes later, it turns on like booting starting with the TCL logo and then access home screen. If after that boot, I press turn of after 2-3 minutes, both the TV and stand by led turn off and the TV does not turn on again untill I unplug it first........ really weird.

我的電視是TCL 75C935

我想通過電視的 Earc 將藍光電影和 TrueHD 信號發送到 SoundBar。
這個時候有一些問題
一個。我用PC的PowerDVD直接連接SondBar,TuneHD的信號可以流暢傳輸(聲音22M/s)
b. 使用PC -> 75C935 -> EARC to Soundbar的EARC --> 此時只能開啟DD5.1,TuneHD無法啟動。
C。我把Soundbar拆下來直接在PC上播放-> 75C935電視內解碼-->同樣只能傳DD 5.1信號給電視。
d. 用KODI播放,75C935 -> EARC -> Soundbar的EARC 明明在播放,但是Soundbar只能接收到PCM信號,聽上去像是雙聲道切換出來的。。。完全不是TrueHD。

想請問一下,如果你買了這台電視,能不能測試一下,看能不能順利解碼TrueHD?
我現在感覺這種高碼率信號傳到電視上是不對的

I saw C735 / C835 had same porblem in this discuss series.

VPN connection problems

Hi there.

I have a tcl 43c635 and I have a VPN connection problem.

My VPN (Proton) connects perfectly. However, if I exit any app, the VPN connection drops out. It would appear that the TV allows only one connection.

I have tried all the usual problem resolving routines: reinstalling the app, clearing the cache, increased background processi to max, installed different protocols (openvpn and wireguard apps) but I get the same results.

I have also tried at least 5 other VPN providers and get the same problem.

(I have a firestick and the sames VPNs stay connected for days.)

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

    Quick question, i have a c835 and i was on v474, then TCL auto (forced) update to v503 and now i don't have the game mode and game bar.
    Is it possible to install the GameBar apk (from Mega repo) or i can only downgrade the firmware to have this options back ?
    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?

    No one test the beta version..
    This is a forum for people who do exactly that. Developing and testing different firmwares and other forms of software development. If people didn't do that then you wouldn't have a forum to whinge on. Everybody is different and everybody has different things they enjoy doing, so I'd say yes there is people that care about it despite the fact that you may not.

    I have tried your suggestion but the result suggests Youtube videos based on "Play Store" or "Google Play Store". The search result does not bring up the actual playstore application. I have the same problem since day 1. Why the Google Play store app is not visible? And another thing, why when ai search for a game title i never get any results back???
    Install this apk....Play store will appear in home page...
