TCL 6 Series/R646 2021 QLED vs TCL 75R646

On the flip side, TCL’s Roku TVs support Apple’s AirPlay 2 and HomeKit protocols, but that’s not true of the Google TV models.

It has a decent frequency response with a well-balanced sound profile that delivers clear dialogue. It gets very loud, with very little distortion, even at max volume.

Yes I know nothing is better than separate standalone speakers with subwoofer, but for built-in speakers the sound is exceptionally good, particularly the mid-tones and base. Good enough that I can hold out on purchasing an expensive standalone set.

This should no longer be an issue when I get my new receiver, but definitely a negative.

I tried different modes and while it can get very loud it sounds quite muddled the moment you try and add in any amount of base. -Sound bars: For some reason people(including me) have been having trouble with their sound bars, cutting out, sync delay, or not being crontrolled properly. -Resolution: For gamers this is a big one and despite my best efforts and looking around all over for an answer you CAN'T CONTROL THE TV RESOLUTION FROM THE TV. I couldn't find a way to force it to do 1440 from the TV itself

adjustment in picture,sound, motion clarity,action smoothing, color temp took awhile..UI is easy and the remote is great, just need to get rid of the netflix,disney,hulu,and sling shortcut buttons.

While most of TCL’s smart TVs use the Roku TV platform, the 55R646 uses Google TV for its interface. Google TV is a streamlined version of the Android TV platform on Hisense TVs, retaining all of its features, with a menu system that’s more content-focused than primarily driven by app selection. All of the big names in streaming are available, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Twitch, and YouTube. Google TV also supports Google Cast for mirroring your Android smartphone or tablet, or Chrome browser tab from a computer, though it doesn’t support Apple AirPlay like Roku TVs do (Roku TVs don’t support Google Cast, however)

In this age of instant responses, this OS is not. Moving between videos and selecting one; or another provider is like watching the little clock go around 4 or 5 times.

I was looking for a 55" TV, at a reasonable price not realizing that most of the decent TV's in this range were gone, and I was lucky to be looking at Amazon the day these TV's dropped and quickly purchased one on the 11th. OK, I received my TV today (8/13/2020) replacing an older TLC series 4. Nothing wrong with my old TV, with the exception that even through I have 1 gig internet, my download speeds would never go over 20 mb/s. I have found it really hard to get a straight answer whether this was good/bad, or something else and I would swear that initially when I first hooked the TV up download speed were much faster before dropping to 20 and staying there

When you first turn it on, you have to pair the remote to the TV. The remote barely worked, I had to press the button 10 times to get it to do anything. It took me over 10 minutes to enter my email address. I even tried new batteries

(We bought an extra VESA mountable stand to address this problem.) - Remote: the block of four "branded" buttons at the bottom of the remote are an issue. You cannot customize these, so if you don't have Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, or Sling, you have 4 useless buttons on your remote. Summary: I know there are a lot of cons there, but this TV is *such* a good deal -- excellent quality for under $1000 -- that these minor annoyances do not affect the recommendation
