Overall Impression

Picture quality impresses buyers straight out of the box. Multiple owners describe the image as beautiful, sharp, and better than expected, especially when watching native 4K content like YouTube or PS5 output. Comparisons to previous Sony, Samsung, and LG sets were generally favorable, with several buyers saying they don't regret switching to TCL despite some skepticism about the brand's build quality relative to bigger competitors.

Reliability is a real concern for a notable subset of owners. Several commenters report freezing, screens going dark, or the TV turning off by itself within weeks or months of purchase, sometimes requiring replacement units that also failed. Warranty service was described as slow or frustrating in some cases, and one user explicitly called it a nightmare waiting months for resolution, which tempers enthusiasm from otherwise satisfied buyers.

Gaming performance draws mixed and conflicting reports. Some users say the P735 is great for PS5 with auto game mode kicking in smoothly, while others report absurd input lag on PS4/PS5 compared to near-zero delay on Samsung, leading one buyer to swear off TCL for gaming entirely. Confusion persists around whether the HDMI 2.1 port truly supports 120Hz at 4K, with commenters directly questioning the panel's actual capability.

I bought it 4 weeks ago and I have nothing to complain about...I've always been a Sony TV person...I was thinking of getting an LG 75 but after researching a lot I gave TCL a chance and I don't regret it...Samsung has problems with the motherboard after a while...LG has problems with the LEDs...each one has its issue but I still haven't seen anyone talk bad about TCL.

Mine arrived yesterday, P735 75\", I installed it in place of a Sony 55\" Android 120hz that I had, very good TV, excellent image and fast navigation, I've already installed my family and tvexpress. I saw many negative comments on other channels talking about brightness, and I don't know what, but it has a top image. On normal and UHD channels the image we receive from operators is not good because it already comes in 1080p but if you put a movie on YouTube for example in 4k to test it's another thing, on PS5 nothing changed, I just had to move the sofa back further because it was close and the closer you get the more \"defects\" you see in the image due to the screen size. But I recommend it.

I personally love TCL 50 Inches P735. Its affordable price and 99,900Rs. It’s understandable and standard size for gaming,youtube and netflix. Obv if you buy PS5 Digital it will cost you another 1.5Lac. So overall its 2.5Lac. Its fine figure to get. If you buy 75Inches P735 Series. Obv its a better experience for watching movie,gaming and music enjoying but its price is 290,000Rs which is way more then average household savings and budget price. So yea its good package for one kanal and 2 kanal houses place for tv lounges ground and first floor. Its not for middle class. Middle class can only afford 1Lac price tag. So i wish you best of luck. Can you review all sizes separately to discuss features and changes from 43inches,50 inch,55 inch, 65inch and 75 inch separately. So the people can take better and sound decision.

Hello Andy. I'm speaking to you from Bolivia, I bought the 55-inch one and a week later the equipment turned off by itself, I took it to the store and they told me they would change the damaged spare part. I wanted them to change the equipment for me but the warranty doesn't cover changes unless there's no solution. Did this happen to anyone else?

I bought a 65\" a short time ago, it was on sale. I regretted it two weeks later, it freezes a lot and sometimes turns off by itself when I watch content that uses multiple features at the same time. In a few years I'll go with LG.

@gustavo_teixeira

I've watched several reviews and assessments and for the price I was looking for I ended up getting the TCL 65P735. And one thing that I don't see anyone talking about (and this is already making me think if these reviews are even real) is that it's very slow. When I got the TV I already installed the basic streaming apps and the TV just keeps freezing. Trying to configure the image while watching a 4k video on Netflix is impossible. It freezes a lot. I only didn't return it because I had already returned it before (the TV arrived scratched on the screen, I changed it for an identical one before even testing) and since it's very large and I had to pay for a taxi (I bought it at the Casas Bahia store in my city. Even though it was a little more expensive I thought it was better to buy in person because any problem would be easier to solve personally than online. And it barely fit in the trunk of a new Tracker). Not to mention that another TV from a different model would cost a little more. Later I'll put a Chromecast 4k and it's solved. Another thing that no one talks about is that its internet (whether WiFi or cable) doesn't exceed 100mbps. I have 500MB and it stays at 97mbps. I'm buying a USB 3.0 gigabit adapter to try to solve this. Other than that, the quality I found pretty \"standard\" for the TVs I saw in stores in person. Above that only QLED. What made me choose it was the light leak that Philips has a little more, black level which it's better, and the value (I paid R$2999, but I paid R$1,000 more for 2 additional years of extended warranty. I don't trust the brand so it's better to prevent). Its sound is OK compared to my old LG, but I'm going to buy a soundbar.

@marcolobo5

I bought a TCL 65P735 65-inch, I noticed that in some games it has some delay or quick freezes using PS4, how do I know how to configure it for games and how do I know how many FPS it has, if someone knows how to answer I thank you, I want to configure it to have the best gaming experience using PS4 on it.

TCL for gaming never again, I regretted bitterly, it was 2 different TVs, I tested on both and the delay is absurd, while on Samsung practically 0, so I'm never risking it again.

@snaqueful

TV with high DSE that leaves the screen with stains; watching football on it forget about it, it's torture, the screen gets all stained. The TV's Dolby Vision is a joke; besides darkening the scene too much in certain dark scenes, it tilts the brightness that keeps flickering.
