QuestionI have an LG OLED TV which I love but I can only watch with certain shows. I watch FOX News a lot and ended up getting a total Fox News Burn in on the bottom of the screen. Will this TCL TV be susceptible to burn in from station logos or video games?
Asked 5 years ago by JC.
- Answer I had the same issues as you with an OLED. The TCL won’t burn-in, but you may want to read my review.

QuestionWhat does the series number reference? I notice the price goes up the higher the number. Is it resolution?
Asked 5 years ago by theFred.
- Answer Not necessarily the resolution, but yes more options/features, better panel, so on. Quite a big jump from series 6 to 8, I have both and would say Series 8 price to value for me isn't there.

QuestionWill the speakers still provide sound when a headset is plugged in? Same question for Bluetooth. My wife needs it loud, but I don't, so giving her a headset might be a solution.
Asked 5 years ago by SchaumburgBill.
- Answer Our TCL Roku TVs are currently not Bluetooth capable. However, you can download the free Roku app on your smartphone or tablet to use with your TCL Roku TV. By using the app you can use voice search, voice control, and experience private listening. You can currently connect up to 4 phones with the Roku app to the TV, and everyone can connect to their own phone with wireless headphones to experience private listening. However, when using private listening, it will automatically mute the TV speakers. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support

QuestionI have heard this TV has had a lot of problems since launch. Have there been many firmware updates to correct them?
Asked 5 years ago by Trickypat72.
- Answer I am loving this TV! It is everything I expected. When the screen goes to black, I could swear it has been turned off. It definitely has had updates. That's my only complaint at all. This is my first smart TV, so maybe it's completely normal, but about every 10-14 days it updates. I have to wait about 45 seconds for it to turn on, and it annoys me. According to your question, though, I think that's a good thing. It means something is being fixed or improved. This is definitely a first-world problem. Obviously I need to be more patient! I can highly recommend this TV!

QuestionI'm very interested in buying this tv, but have a question about the refresh rate. Does this tv support 4k 120hz gaming? If not, does it support 1440p 120hz gaming? Thanks.
Asked 4 years ago by Josh.
- Answer You need HDMI 2.1 for 4K @ 120hz. Check the reviews on Rtings for the input capabilities. As far as I know, only the new 2021 Vizio has HDMI 2.1.
  I would recommend:
  - VIZIO - 75" Class P-Series Quantum X Series LED 4K UHD SmartCast TV

QuestionIs this tv edge-lit or full backlit? The info on this page says edge, but everything else I've seen says full. And is there a 2019 _and_ 2020 model? Or just 2020?
Asked 4 years ago by randy.
- Answer This TV is backlit using a mini-LED backlighting array that allows it to look almost like an OLED without the massive chance of burn-in that OLEDs tend to have. The backlighting isn't controlled by each individual LED, but the "zones" it uses are small enough that I RARELY see light bleed in a dark screen with a bright object also on screen. The contrast on this thing is crazy. The colors are amazing, but the black and white levels are just... crazy. I woukd swear the TV is just off if a scene cut completely to black. There is none of the "gray" glow that comes from an edge lit or constant backlight that you see on standard LCD/LED tvs. I hope I managed to answer your question somewhere in the word avalanche I caused. I just really like this TV.

QuestionHow many Mini Led makes up the back light of the 65Q825 Series 8 Television, and what is the number of dimming zones?
Asked 4 years ago by 8Ohms.
- Answer I am amazed how difficult is seems to get a direct answer for many of the questions being asked here. Almost nothing gets responded to specifically. It always looks and seems smoke the old smoke and mirror. I ask specifically about the dimming zone of the 65 inch, and the answer is all related to the 75 inch. I am sure someone at TCL can count the number of the 65 inches and post them if they are willing to give the specific number for the 75 inch. All consumers, like myself want is for manufacturers, like politicians to be truthful and honest. It'll go a long long way.

QuestionDo you have to access the streaming services (e.g., Netflix, Amazon Prime) thru Roku or can you access those services directly if you don't want to use Roku?
Asked 4 years ago by PotentialBuyer.
- Answer The entire TV uses Roku for the user interface. Roku is not separate. You either use Roku apps for your sources (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Disney Plus, etc.) or you can get content through a HDMI input source (TiVo, Blu-Ray, Fire TV Stick, AV receiver, or though OTA antenna or composite video (think VCR). You can use streaming apps through other hardware such as BluRay player or Fire TV stick, but I don't see any real advantage to that, and I certainly wouldn't call that "directly". Think of it this way. You use Android or iOS for your phone. Your computer uses Windows, MacOS, or possibly ChromeOS. This TV uses Roku. I find that it works very well. My TV is hooked up to TiVo, Blu-Ray, Comcast X1 streaming box (so I can get Peacock, which will be available directly on Roku July 15, 2020 so I can ditch to X1), my AV receiver, and finally my VCR. Roku has hundreds of additional apps that can be downloaded for additional content.
