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.

Hey. I have a problem with the TC55C735. There is a stripe on it that goes all the way across the screen, it is slightly whitened and these are not burnt pixels just the matrix. Does the warranty cover such a thing?
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?
i installed V473 OTA and now i cant find the VRR settings anywhere when playing PS5. did they removed it?
Anybody knows where they moved it?
Update: Always cut your tv from electricity after update and hidden menu reset. After restart VRR worked again.

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...
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 don't know why you are messing with power...

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

Why? i need some info.
I need tv for my bedroom,watching Netflix in dark..
I'm considering c822 also . its on sale..
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

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.

Hi, at the launch of the tv there was a problem with the nvidia cards to activate the 144hz, in tests that i saw online it was ok with AMD but not NVIDIA. On the other hand i don't know if it is with all nvidia cards or not. I have an AMD card but I haven't tested 144hz yet, just 120.
You also have to change to 8bits colors for 4k 144hz, in 10bits you can only have 4k 120hz.1
Yes, is depend of Project ID, region and country.
Last week started form Italy and now France also.
Also not every region will have, as Europe region has been on V477 and other regions on V496.1
You can just update to v508 using USB stick, if you wish. V501 is only available as IMG, not OTA, so TV won't update to v501 automatically for anyone. My 55C635 self-updated only to v477 and for newer versions I had to update manually using USB stick...
Personally I didn't notice any differences between v496 and v508 so far... -

OTA size= 1.734 GB3I have 50c735 europe_pl (bought and use here) first set up update firmware to v477, but that's it, no more updates to do, it says - nothing to update. I know that there are few next updates so I decided to do update by myself, but to be sure and safe, just for know I just update with v496 OTA, of course reset shop, reset all and after that full factory reset and configuration of all Google TV once again with all apps etc.. Hmm.. I don't know if this update give something new, may be some functions or naming of it, may be little smooth feeling, but rather little not many. Hmm, but what I noticed, after update the screen is more more red.. and maybe pink moreover in some movies/ apps so I have to change white balance in expert mode 2 points and red boost set to -16 and blue -2, now is very good, but.. hmm someone also noticed it?? Some said here that the Dolby Vision is repaired now, but don't know what, maybe is more smooth, maybe - ok, but still the problem about @OnyOnaki said above actually exist. I can't say that is brightness lag, its like a delay in led backlight software saying about reaction. Hmm Im good with that to be honest, it doesn't annoying me, but some in my family said that is really not cool. Hm.. in my opinion this is a dynamic hdr so..., but yeahh.. it could be faster... To avoid big jumps of brightness I set bright preset and gamma -1, everythings OFF and dynamic mapping on OFF [but to be honest this option is really good to have ON, because of details that he helps you to see in very white scene, but.. also makes more work to brightness regulators]...
I think about v501 flash via IMG and make completly fresh instalation, but.. don't know if it make sense. I think the main problem is CPU and everything we say its about him. TCL make not good move with making money on us who don't need big-bigg screens and they implement ****ty realtek CPU inner <50 inchs. Really sad, because these TV to be honest isn't the cheapest we can buy, but maybe some updates helps us.
Maybe someone has calibration settings for these C735 SERIES to 50 inches etc.. screens, I mean of course calibrated with sensor, not on eye, because on eye I also did that, I've got good eye hehe, but if someone has settings made by pro, it will be be nice to share with us.
Someone test v501 on c735? I saw there isn't at v501 OTA so.. I don't know if it is safe.. and if it is worth to update.
EDIT: UPDATE ABOUT FOR ALL OF US WHO HAVE DOLBY VISION BRIGHTNESS PROBLEM, THERE IS A WORKAROUND SOLUTION AND SOMETHING LIKE A GOOD NEWS.
I found these instruction here on xda in other thread with beyond TVs:
1. Activate Quick Start (EVEN if you have this option ON, just do TURN OFF AND TURN ON THIS OPTION once AGAIN)
2. Turn off (hold power button on remote control 5 seconds and say YES/ OK to turn off question and unplug the TV and of course after 10-15 sec, plug in powercord to TV again)
3. Turn on the TV
4. Let it load all the GTV UI
5. Turn off the TV with the remote control button (but not completly, just one short click - to quick start standby mode)
6. Turn the TV back ON with the button on the remote
7. Put the movie or series with Dolby Vision
8. Enjoy, finally, the movie or series without brightness changes in the scenes
And if you always use stand-by quick start turn off turn on method od remote control, these will be work. If you unplug TV or you lost power on TV powercord you will need to do that ALWAYS ONCE AGAIN AND AGAIN [DON'T SKIP ANY STEP, JUST DO THAT ALWAYS THE SAME WAY]. Don't test it how it will be working after few days and making a mess with apps etc.
And these is that good news - its only firmware problem, not a hardware, but the question is if the TCL knows about that and has a will to repair that in next updates. Some say here that the V501 repair that. Don't know, im on v496 now after manual OTA update with V477 stock firmware, but on these two version, it was the same problem. Maybe I will try to V501 IMG full firmware flash with reset all and reset shop before, and factory reset after flash this IMG and I will also report if that helps or not, but to be honest I think TCL don't know how to repair that. I know one TV from my country which is on the market warranty Service and 7 days after still we don't know what will be done in this case. I also forward these news and instruction how to workaround these problem and maybe service will contact with TCL SUPPORT and MAYBE THEY forward this information on the next steps, but to be honest in these budget - the only we can do now is to have hope that they will still work on these platform, it's 2022y model so maybe... Don't know, will see.
