As stated there are two year models, that seem to be exactly the same except for the chipset, when you get a gap send an image of your About section and the firmware model, curious to see if this is true.

If true, not quite sure what the chipset offers extra

If TCL can keep their pricing, they'll start hurting Hisense locally, which has a rather great footprint in South Africa. I had the chance to see the new U7N in person, and owning the C755 to compare it to, I can happily say I'm chuffed with my purchase

What irritates me is they have a new arrivals section for 2024 models lol and they clearly use the 98" image for the C855 while only offering the 65". I have been trying to contact them for days but get no response (Hopefully that's not a sign of terrible after sales service in SA)1736229486698.png

Could it be that the 85-98” C855 is indeed coming but they don’t or haven’t yet updated the specification section for the 85-98” bad boys

I had a prompt answer from them via the service.za email address before the holiday break, some places aren't even opening till the 13th.
I was querying having 2 differant serial numbers i noticed when filling out the warranty registration.
If it helps anyone the barcode serial & the serial the software shows being differant is a known thing & apparently normal..
I'm showing as a 24 version also , 55" C755

Danko Sir

Which serial did you end up using? The sticker on the back or the software serial

On my store receipt was the barcode one so i used that but i also took a screenshot of the software one and added it into the uploads.

Their reply to my query on the different numbers was
"Regarding the serial number, it is normal for there to be differences. The serial number on the box represents the TV's external identifier, while the one on the television itself corresponds to its internal serial number."

I just got through to them. Sadly, they're not bringing the 85C855 to SA, which makes no sense considering they offer/offered 85" versions of all the other models, and they even sell a 115" for R400k, so pricing isn't the issue. Maybe they don't move enough 85" models?
 
Also grudge purchased the C755, would have preferred a bigger C855.

I fiddled with the motion settings and nothing seemed to work until I disabled it 😁 It's pretty, pretty good now.

Enjoy the new TV man

Yeah, turning it off worked best for me as well. The TV ramps up to 60fps when required so no worries there ;)

Question is, does it drop to 24fps when needed?

Mine does
Then again, I have an apple tv, with match frame rate enabled, once selecting a show that is 24fps, it pops up a little bubble that shows 4k @24Hz, sport with @50Hz

Admitted, I have not tested the TV’s own system to verify how it adapts

Ideal for everyday consumers, this TV is set to redefine value, offering premium performance without the premium cost. Expect strong demand, particularly for the 98-inch model, during its release and the holiday season.

Funny how a 85” feels normal once you use it for a week.

Or, it could just be the room size, ceilings are quite high, and the room is quite big, making the 85” ideal for the room size

With the 65” in the room, can’t believe we had no issue with this size and in such a large living room.

Have to admit, some dstv tv shows, these you would find on BBC (Game shows et c.) Some text would feel a tad blurry but nothing serious, I don’t have that anymore with the 85”. Ignorance is bliss

Told the wife can’t we swap this one out for the 98”. Got the stare of death 🤣
 
@ Peeps using an Apple TV with their TCL

If you struggle to remove the weird judder or motion that feels a tad off, you won’t get it right with the motion settings. I went with the following advice on a UK forum (it worked)

Turn off the motion setting, refresh rate at standard.
Then in your Apple TV menu setting under video and audio-> Match content
Turn both on, frame rate and content.

Now, your visual settings, rather go for SDR at 4K and leave the TV or content you’re watching decide what the output would be. If it’s HDR 10, you’ll now get a small pop up on the top left corner stating it. And on your right you’ll get 4k @24Hz (Same applies to dolby vision)
Remember to adjust your settings to your liking as they’re at the factory defaults.

The reasoning behind these adjustments, if you selected HDR 4K in apple TV, it’s forcing this to all the content you’re watching, SDR, DV et c. So you’re colours are off and not to the content creators intent.

I found myself playing more with the settings now because of this ;)

Be sure to get a good HDMI cable, splurge a bit on those 8K HDMI 2.1 bad boys, eliminating any issues. Found my one HDMI cable introduced stuttering when it’s 60Hz content.

On DSTV stream, sports look quite kak when it comes to motion handling, the TCL’s own DSTV Stream app does a better job and ‘dem balls’ look much smoother ( wink wink )

Back to the point, leaving the TV to decide how to handle the content causes less strain and processing work, hence the SDR Selection in Apple TV, yes your menu now looks kek, but your shows look as they were intended to.
 
The C805/755 is not the same as the QM7, America has its own model. Europe, UK and the rest of the world get the C805/755

What I could find, it’s much closer to the QM7, than the Q7 that the US gets. But it’s a different TV altogether. Nonetheless, great TV for the price, it’s aimed to compete against the Samsung Q80 range, but outperforms it and sits between the Q80D and Q90D. That alone should tell you, this is a great bang for the buck TV. Samsungs TV’s, heck, even the Q80D is much more expensive than the TCL C755.
