TCL P7K 65P7K (65")

My old TCL 65 inch TV carked it suddenly a few days ago. My choice for a replacement was easy, just get that same brand TCL again because it was a good run from that old telly before it died. So, I went for the more recent model to suit my affordable "poverty Pak" range. LOL Appliances Online was my first choice because it's free, next day delivery. The delivery guys unbox the new one, remove all wrapping, screw on the legs and lift it carefully on to my furniture stand. Then they take all the packaging cardboard and styrene, plus my old TV away. Priceless !

I won't give a critical propeller -head, nerd review of the the TV, quoting technical figure and facts. I'm just a normal everyday person, so I'll give you the "normal person" review as I see it.

It was an easy ten minute job to jump thru the hoops, tick all the boxes etc to set it up. The picture was great out of the box but a few minor tweaks in the picture settings to suit my preferences made all the difference and gave me a first class picture. Extremely life-like skin tones, crystal clear picture, wide viewing angle and stutter free fast action scenes ! I liked the quick access to "subtitles" button on the remote, which is far superior to the older model TCL that required multiple time wasting button presses to simply turn on/off the subtitles.

Now...the downside ! The audio/sound is absolutely woeful ! Despite TCL's literature bragging that it has magnificent, mind blowing sound, it is indeed a complete fib. For me, the sound is tinny sounding like a little pocket radio playing in a tiny toilet. Easy fix, just hook up my old Samsung sound bar via the arc HDMI socket. Now it's perfect !

I should really knock off one star for that, but the value for money price of $950 negates that. Overall it's the best bang for buck to have a smart TV this good.
