Verdict
Customer experiences with TCL Australia are broadly divided between positive encounters with customer support and frustration regarding product reliability. While many consumers praise the responsive and patient assistance provided by support agents during warranty claims and technical troubleshooting, others report persistent software glitches, remote delays, and lengthy delays during the repair process. Overall sentiment leans positive for after-sales service, though hardware and software consistency remain points of concern for a minority of buyers.
I put in a warranty claim with TCL after a recent firmware update caused some problems. The technical support technician Miles suggested I perform specific inspections and actions. Great support team with a great outcome. Show details
The TCL TV is excellent; however, after a year, there was a minor pixelation issue. The TCL support team arranged for a swap to a newer model and had it delivered in good time. Excellent support service from the crew at TCL Australia- Tin, Abby, Gary and others. Thank you.
Tv is nice, however we came across issues with installing YouTube directly on the TV. I contacted support and Elie was awesome. They led me through the factory reset process and helped me fix the issue Show details

I am a satisfied customer of my tcl tv and thank you for the tcl technician video call to get my tv up and running again Show details · 1
Never again TV has crapped itself after not even 4 years. Out of warranty, 75 inch flickers randomly on all channels, video games, streaming waste of money! Show details
Today I spoke with Jesse, a TCL technician regarding a small problem with my near new television which I am extremely happy with so far. The problem was with the program guide, whereby the date would change and all information regarding channels would disappear. Jesse talked me through the problem and we fixed it so I would recommend this Company and their back up technical support as well. Well done TCL. Show reply

unfortunately but my advice to everyone want to buy this TV think again and spend extra couple of hundreds to buy decent brand , finally I don’t recommend it at all because the life expectancy for this brand not more than 4 years not like other brand I had before for nearly 15 years , even the local tv technician told me he get 2-3 tv a day having the same issues, Please take my advice and stay away from TCL thanks

Do not buy a TCL TV if you want to just watch free to air TV and dont want a constant nuisance popup from google "you are missing important alerts". … Read more
In fact, I would not recommend anyone buy a TV that has "Google TV" on it, as apparently they all have the same nuisance message constantly popping up. It is trying to force you to connect to the internet so google can download information about you or what it has recorded you doing (ie they have a camera). Been through the service menu, and there's nothing to turn off this nuisance message.
Follow-up · I have contacted TCL and no help in removing that nuisance "you are missing important alerts"! Seems to be have been set secretly from factory, as it was not there for the first few months of having the TV. I wouldnt recommend anyone buy a TV that has this bs google os.

My washing machine threw a hissy-fit so contacted TCL, who have been exceptionally good at resolving my problem. Tin especially has been very helpful - prompt and polite with emails and information. Show details · 1
Follow-up · We have not replaced our washing machine because we were able to resolve the problem ourselves. Digital display was showing E3 error, which was the lid, so pressing the hinges resolved the problem. We still have a credit with the store where we bought it, good for three years, so happy with the outcome.

Settings changes – I had a problem with my TV randomly changing the brightness setting. Ian helped me through the process to identify and fix the problem, showcasing his extensive knowledge of the product. Show reply
Follow-up · The actual fix was in the settings. I had to actually deselect the auto brightness feature, as this depends on the room ambient lighting. This fixed the problem.

Dear Abby, I wish to sincerely, thank you for the excellent support you’ve provided in resolving my TV swap request.

When I explained that my elderly parents… Read more

Thank you again for your help. God bless!
The technical service department of TCL have been fantastic. Prompt answers to queries and follow-ups. I had an issue with my 65" TV and it is being replaced under warranty by the equivalent current 2026 model. Shout out to Gary who has been most helpful. Show details

Purchased an 85in TCL TV 18 months ago. Just went through the warranty process as the screen went black. Sent numerous pictures and videos, took 8 days to establish that the TV is no good. Multiple emails back & forth and phone calls to get to this point. They refuse to send a technician out. Now they want to replace the TV with a newer model and… Read more
expect me to wait up to a further 12 days, of course, I have to incur the cost of removal of the old TV from the wall and installing the new one. We have had 2 x Samsung TVs for the last 20 years with not one issue. I am pushing for a full refund and going back to a Samsung, I thought I saved money buy going with a cheaper brand, but it will cost me more in the long run, in money and grief, huge mistake buying this brand, very ordinary service from a warranty point of view and low quality product. Bought this size TV for the footy, wouldnt you know it finals start this week! Never buying a product from this brand again. Do yourself a favour and spend a little more and get a reputable brand.

Not satisfied with the product or service provided, do not recommend getting a TCL if you expect quality or support. Our tv had a major failure after 3.5 years with very basic usage by my elderly mother. No streaming. No gaming. Basic settings. Other TVs have lasted 8-10 years without issue. We thought we were upgrading. Should have kept our old… Read more
one.
After calling, they requested details to be sent via email. However service could not find my emails and did not acknowledge the SMS replies either, I had to follow up several times for any acknowledgement.
They then dismissed the claim and cited a range of reasons this TV might fail so soon, and because of all those factors (none of which apply), they would refuse a repair.

TCL 65" inch tv is 7 months old and it's started to randomly scramble and then reload the channel info but at least it stays on and is back to normal in a second or two. I mentioned it to TCL and received 2 separate calls to coach me through the data refresh and then a full reboot to factory settings only for it to continue after the tv has been… Read more
on for a few hours. Since then they have changed my case number twice [probably to meet their KPIs], and email me from two different email addresses around 10 times, and texting me a dozen times asking for the same information over and over again. I think this is a tactic just they brake you and that you'll go away. Once again we see a company's real culture and ethics when something goes wrong.

I had bought a new tv and it was only a couple of months old when the screen went black and there seemed to be flickering after being on for about an hour. I reported it to TCL, they sent out a repair man who took it away to look at it. I was then contacted by Abby from TCL advising they would replace it rather than repair it if I agreed which I did.

My TCL Sound bar arrived without it's remote. I sent a quick email to their support team. The next morning a team member called RHODZ called me personally to sort out exactly what I wanted. She followed through with an email confirming details of our telephone conversation. Totally impressed and appreciate how quick how RHODZ responded to my email inquiry. Show details · 1
