Cool, good to know new 6 series is going with mini LED ... also eager to see how 2020 5 series compares to H8GInter01fan wrote: ↑ I think the new 6 series will only be comparable to the Hisense Q9G (but it likely will be better than this too). The new 5 series is what will likely be the direct rival to the Hisense Q8G as it will have QLED and Full Array Local Dimming.
The new 6 series is adding mini LED and will be hard to compare to the H8G as it it will have hundreds of local dimming zones. Specifically, the 75 inch TCL 6 series 2020 will have upwards of 1000 dimming zones, to put it into perspective. This will most likely fix any panel uniformity issues that has been bugging the 6 series for the last couple of years.

yeah but the question is do I REALLY need a TV THAT bright? I think unless I have direct sunlight aiming at my TV for a lot of my viewing time, I'd take uniformity and better motion over it.Poutinesauce wrote: ↑ It does show. Man is that TV bright. It's super bright when just when staring at the menus.
My complaint with my LG TV right now is I see a lot of dirty screen noises and poor motion smoothness when I watch hockey. And the brighter I turn up the brightness setting, the more obvious the DSN is on the white ice surface, and therefore I am reluctant to turn up the brightness beyond 70% on my TV ...

Well the TCL 6 series isn't the best TV of all time, but it is an excellent TV for the price that does a more than decent job. I really don't have any complaints.number17 wrote: ↑ yeah but the question is do I REALLY need a TV THAT bright?

The link was up this morning at time of posting and someone reported (on page 18) that both the 65" and 55" R635 pages have since been taken down. Naturally, as a noob, I did not save the pages.

Just noticed that TV Outlet (through Best Buy) is selling a refurb 55" 2019 TCL 6 Series (55R625) for $720. Pretty good price considering this TV was never sold in Canada, and is extremely well reviewed (often called the "best in class" for budget TVs).

I've been waiting for it to come back to Costco, does anyone have any expectations or info on this? The 2018 model (New) is $600 at bestbuy - but I've been holding out for Costco warranty.

I would never buy a refurb tv but that's just me. Especially when the price/value difference isn't that great

Bestbuy has the 2020 TCL 5 series 65” in stock now for $799:
TCL 65 5 series
Edit: in stock maybe over stating it. Available for purchase and later ship maybe more accurate.

No kidding man. Not sure what’s the deal with TCL sleeping on the release dates. TCL will be roku anywho and Hisense 2020 models are out now with android tv so I think I’ll just grab a 55Q7G from Costco....roku tv just lacks apps and is smooth but pretty bare bones.

65" 5-series with Quantum dots for $799 is pretty good deal compared to the Hisense H7G/H8G

Some ppl prefer Roku over Android TV ... but whatever your preference, don't let that sway your decision cause you can always buy a Roku stick or Android TV box instead.

I know I keep hearing that same point but I’d rather keep it native to the tvOS. Don’t want to need to buy an external device to use over top of the OS.

I appreciate this thread, i'm in the same boat as a lot of you! Hisense, Vizio, TCL...
Bestbuy has a refurb 6 series TCL for $719. Available online only. Any thoughts? Wait for Costco to have it again?
