Early Review for the TV - not yet fully tried it out
I have to place a note - the model is a 75P8MR (75") no option to place it here
Now we just got this TV, its picture is fantastic and the response times for things are great, blacks looks great for a LED, HDR is nice and it comes with feature rich content. Bluetooth, WIfif, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Chromecast, YouTube, Netflix and Stan. Remote control has built in voice commands alongside a normal remote and it also has google home and allexa support.
As I stated we only just got this and so far I am impressed but ultimately time will tell...Read more
on everything (so will be updating in the future) The connections are standard, I think there could have been more connections but its OK, if your running a few devices with older RCA plugs then you will need a switch box to connect it as only 1 input is able to be applied. The sound of the TV was impressive, TCL is really a budget orientated market brand, but am impressed by the sound quality - I haven't gamed on it so cannot actually make any references towards gaming well I will come back in a few months to give an update but to what I see now its really a lovely TV that I have no probs in recommendingPurchased in January 2021 at Harvey Norman for $1,700.00.

Although she is cheap...she is mighty
Absolutely awesome TV which was super easy to set up. Love that it can easily connect to my google account and easily connect my Netflix as well for easy binge watching. Also came with a voice activated remote with really takes the cake.

Better than expected for the price.
My 50" Panasonic TV failed and being Christmas break and in a Port Macquarie a quote for repair was not possible until February. I bought the TCL 50P8M for $545 at Bing Lee following shop assistant Linda's advice and info. Internet research showed it was a good buy so I bought it and set it up myself. I am 84 and had no difficulty in set up. It is light enough for me to lift into position on my own. Initially I was very disappointed in the picture quality, being hazy and lacking contrast. I used the settings suggested by a previous reviewer but...Read more
had to tweek them more. Colour was set on Standard, Black level was reduced to 39 and brightness increased to 70. Picture perfect now especially on Netflix whose movies are probably made using the latest equipment ( see earlier comments re ABC Brisbane.) The attached photo is a crop of part of a screen showing a Netflix TV series taken with a mobile phone with no adjustments other than a crop.. SUMMARIZING. Very pleased with TV so far. An excellent buy.

Ripped me off. Do not buy from these people.
Broke down for the third time in 3 years and because it was a month out of warranty they did not want to know about it. Offered me a new set at half price but I don't wanna give them another cent.

Incredible
We got this because of its smart tv capabilities and have been pleasantly surprised. We have added all the apps we usually use and it makes things so quick and easy. The wireless connection is amazing and stable. It also came with a Google remote so we can speak into it to control it. The picture is perfect and we are so thrilled with this TV!

Good image - terrible software support
Built in Chromecast is a mystery. Works some days. Other days it won't work at all. Lost am hour today with TCL support to do factory reset and checks.
After that the tv still crashes and reboots into "safe mode"
Tv won't run Disney app. Opens Disney + but refuses to work on internal Chromecast on Disney. My own external chrome cast ultra runs Disney just fine
Built in Chromecast is also much softer volume level than external Chromecast on Netflix
Casting from phone to internal Chromecast on Disney just opens from phone app and then says 'unknown device' if cast to tv Chromecast

Early days but loving it
Pros
I have no real knowledge of what to expect in a 4 k tv but i am thrilled so far.
I probably need to wait a few weeks, I feel I will be more impressed.
I love the big screen, I haven't used 4k to any great degree but i am amazed
At a few 4k clips i have watched on YouTube
I love the included voice remote, and glad too see it is no longer sold as a accessory
The three year warranty was a consideration, as long as it is honoured.
3 HDMI outlets are great,, I also appreciate the USB outlet as this enables me using time shift and ability to record.

Bought as a cheap TV for the bedroom...boy was I surprised.
Only had this 2 weeks. Feature set is great, picture quality given the price is fantastic. Some jitter on panning but acceptable.
Easy to install and easy to use. Comforted by the fact it has a 3 year warranty. Only disappointment was the price dropped another $80 after I bought it!

Great TV and value.
Great tv. I upgraded from a 10 year old 50" panasonic plasma to the 75 TCL. The menu works fine. Easy to navigate. Im not a tv guru but the picture looks fantastic. Even compared to the $$$ TV is store the picture looked great. Connected a heap of Apps all work great. Got the free extra google assist remote works a treat. Came with 3y warranty had to walk past a $1245 75" TV on sale at JBs.

Good but slow
85 inch is slow on android TV. Perfect picture and brightness, easy to use.voice AI is useless and very slow to respond, voice remote always disconnecting. Setup for voice command on google home is annoying as not recognizing the tv, takes time. Worth the price, yes.

Just Average
Had this for a couple of months and the picture is great but have some other issues, my Samsung soundbar connects but doesnt always, freeview hasnt worked since day 1 but working with TCL, Voice Remote has stopped working a couple of times which means a factory reset and reinstalling apps, when doing a factory reset you also have to reformat external storage so loose anything downloaded, I am working with TCL to get these issues sorted but no success as yet, if you dont have a little technical knowledge then probably avoid this, im sure we will get issues sorted though and for the price its ok, we have fox with iq4 and the 4k quality of this TV is excellent

Good value for money. Apps not as reliable as on my LG TV - keep having to close them when they stop working. Has all right ports. HDR could be brighter.

Amazing Value TV
I've only had this TV a week, but so far I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I got a fantastic deal through Ebay and Appliance Central with 20% discount off $650, so ended up paying $525 plus postage. For that price the quality of this tv is exceptional. I'm no expert on picture quality, but to my eyes this screen provides a brilliant quality picture once the settings are tweaked. For this I must thank Grant in his review below - I can vouch that the settings he recommends are excellent. I use them for standard picture mode, and shift it to m...Read more
ovie mode when watching movies. I also was surprised at the quality of the sound. I had pretty low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Of course though if you want cinema quality sound you're going to need some external speakers, but for general purpose the sound is more than adequate. I did have an issue though when I first set the tv up. For some reason for the first couple of days the picture quality was slightly fuzzy, and there was motion blurring. I mainly use kayo sports, and any motion was stuttering and looked awful. HD free to air looked anything but HD. I tried adjusting every setting I could to no avail. But I checked out you tube and watched a music video and it looked great, so I couldn't understand why the picture elsewhere was so bad. I was thinking it might have to go back, but the 3rd day I had it I turned it on in the morning and the picture was perfect! No idea what happened, but if you're not happy with the picture out of the box perhaps just wait a few days for it to settle. Everything else has been really smooth. The interface works really well, downloading apps such as kayo is a breeze, and the remote is nice and responsive. Overall definitely highly recommended!Purchased in September 2021 at Appliance Central for $565.00.

Brilliant TV - I'd be surprised if you could beat it for under $1000, 55INCH model
Purchased for around $670 delivered on EBAY September 2022. The settings out of the box are terrible - what are you guys dong at the TCL factory? Once the picture settings are tweaked the HD and UHD is STUNNING. Standard Def is good but any apparent problems at this resolution is more to do with viewing poor source material on a 55inch TV. Sound is average, needs a sound bar.
Yes for $1500 or $2000 you'd get more uniform backlighting and superior white and black levels but the average viewer would struggle to see the difference unless they were side by side.
For those who want help here are the picture settings Ive found to be best:
Colour temp: Warm
Tint 47
Bright: 49
Contrast: 77...Read more

Bargin for your money
The smart tv apps are supper easy to use and the straight forward. The control is set up to make it easier to get in and out of apps. The only problem is that it looses connectivty qith wireless internet if you internet connection is not strong enough. Yes it does have enpugh port to connect devices such as ps4 consoles and other items. The sound quality is amazing on this tv and it helps to make for a cinema like experience as the tv size is really big. I would definitely reccomend this tv if you want to find a cheaper good quality tv. Its is well worth the price i paid for it.

Avoid this TV (Blurry NOT clear)
Purchased this TCL online from bing lee & went in store to pick it up, it was sitting right next to the hisense R6 & the picture quality of this tcl was no different to my 10year old plasma, yeah if your just after a big size upgrade then it sure is a big tv but i would honestly say that my old plasma screen would be on par with the image quality of this tv. Total shocker in my opinion!!! Also it’s obvious that you get what you pay for but In actual fact the Hisense 75 R6 is only $200 more and the image quality is so much sharper and also brig...Read more
hter and deeper black tones etc.... I’m 100% sure you will thank god you seen my review before buying a new budget 75” tv & run far away from this TCL before you get stuck with a rubbish blurry tv.... do yourself a favour and spend the extra $200 & go for the hisense R6 it’s sharp & bright & blows this TCL away by miles for only $200 extra Go and view them side by side like I did !!!! Thats all I can say !!!! Also, the hisense frame is slim and sleek and the TCL border is fatter than an old street directory or large bible which you will be needing if you have already purchased this tv before reading my honest review!

Wonderful when not rebooting itself randomly.
This set is quite easy to set up.
The picture quality is fantastic, so good in fact that it is difficult to tell the difference between this and one twice the price.
Apps supplied are OK but after six weeks of trying I still can't figure out how to get a new app to install.
User manual is terrible, tells you nearly nothing, but even less so when what you want is important.
My set randomly resets, ie: it beeps, shuts down then restarts at random sometimes not a for a few days, then maybe 1, 2 or 3 times a day for a few days.

This product is outstanding.
Very easy to setup. Took my time getting familiar with Android TV Operating System. Logged onto our $K Netflix subscription. Flawless. ensures High db rated signal for aerial (93% signal strength). Issues with some channels. Rebooted Android Os fixed all sync issues rectified after scan for Channels with reboot. Adjusted Tint, Colour, contrast and some white and black settings and optimised picture even further.

at 4K. Tested downloaded movies at 4K - all worked and with no failure on differing sound standards such as DTS and Dolby Digital. Connected a 2 terrabyte hard drive to USB port. All downloads worked and other material. Connected via DLNA to my NAS Drive (Netgear) - all photos found, home videos videos etc worked. Other computers detected. Blue tooth devices all detected. Not tested. In Summary: 1) Ensure you a good aerial connection via its internal Channel diagnosis. 2) Ensure you are wired network connected ( not Wireless networking ). This is greater stability in 4k internet connections (high bandwidth) 3) We have NBN optical to the premises. . Ensure your Internet is above 15mbps download or you may choke on 4K. Most internet connections work on Netflix Standard HD without issue.Purchased in June 2021 at VideoPro for $1,995.00.

It is about time the TV networks upgraded all there camera captures as some are still broadcasting news source material that is 576 upscaled to 1080. (Brisbane ABC) In the era of 4K it is about time frames to delivery of 4K, The 7:30 program that follows the ABC news Brisbane is true 1080 and good quality. Scaling up from 576i and broadcasting in 1080i is unacceptable quality. Let alone trying to upscale the already up scaled source of 576i material stepped up to 4K. This in turn is made even worse on a 75" TV. There is only so much improvement processing that can be done. This is not fault of the TCL TV. I have owned a Samsung QLED TV and know what I talking about. To prolong the life of the TCL you should also have a surge protector on the power that goes to the TV. These TVs work on a very low voltages are are very energy efficient.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

The difference of this model tcl 65p8m to tcl 65aus?

your best bet is too google it - the question really is a comparison between two models so by googling it you will gain feature and benefits and tech specs between the two. It will be more information than anyone replying to your question unless from TCL within the first place, googling it also makes it more fun to review
Thanks,but cant find any answer from google too, dont know why even its manufactured date.

I can now add that the Disney app also won't work at all. It works very well on my external Chromecast if I push it from my android but won't work if I push the android app to the tv. That ends in tears as "unknown media..."
