TCL QLED C735chat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Several PC gamers report Game Master mode cannot be enabled when connected via PC even with certified HDMI 2.1 cables, limiting access to low input lag and VRR features that work on consoles.

If you set the picture to game picture mode you can enable Game Master but PC picture mode looks with more saturated colorslaunch

Game Master mode cannot be enabled using a PC with an RTX 3070 Ti connected through a certified HDMI 2.1 Belkin cable. Can only reach 120 Hz in 4K and not the claimed 144 VRR.launch

I'm kinda turned off from the fact that I cant use game master mode with a PC. Is it a waste of money if I'm just going to connect it to my pc and dont have an xbox/ps console?launch

Multiple commenters note the C735 isn't very bright, with one citing only 365 nits peak brightness, unfavorably compared to the mini-LED C835 or even budget rivals like Samsung TU7100 and Hisense mini-LED.

@opaimon67

The c735 is HDR capable but it can only pump out 365 nits of peak brightness so not a true HDR experience so it's better to get the newer C835 with its 1000 nits of peak brightness and mini led panel.launch

I have a 55” model. Buy a Hisense 55\" Mini-LED ULED U8HAU 4K QLED Smart TV [2022] Has a better peak brightness, wish I got one instead. It’s cheaperlaunch

Got one, it's ok but brightness just like any other non qled LED, it's no brighter than an entry level samsung tu7100 i have.\n\nThe features for gaming and PC are going to be great thoughlaunch

Hey mate, thanks for the video. Much appreciated!\n\nI've purchased this TV on your recommendation and think it's an absolute steal, though I've noticed its not very bright.. I've followed the instructions you've mentioned in regards to optimising the display to suit my ps5 however, seems dull and not very bright despite brightness being at 100 😅launch

Some users struggle to get the claimed 144Hz refresh rate on PC, only achieving 120Hz at 4K or lower resolutions at higher refresh rates, with confusion over how to enable it since there's no DisplayPort.

This TV is perfect and looks really good when you see it up close and how thin the pannel are it's just perfect. \nBut I got a question \nHow do you get the 144hz ?\nThere's no display port \nAnd the hdmi 2.1 can't go over 120hz\nSo there's no way to get the 144hz right ?\nBecause one of my friends have this tv and we tried to figure how to get the 144hz out but we couldn't unfortunatelylaunch

One buyer found initial setup took over an hour and found the Google TV interface unfriendly, while another reported CI+ module and language menu issues during installation.

@user-xc5ub2vp2n

Bought out TCL C735 65\" in November 2022 I wish I hadn't, I thought upgrading from an ALDI which we found very good that had finally died. First it took me over an hour to set up which wasn't a good start. I find the Google control not very user friendly after 10 months and made for tech savvy people. I have never had so much trouble setting up a TV. I find the screen no good with reflection daylight and particularly at night with a back ground light reflects on the screen. Very disappointed.launch

Unfortunately the device was very disappointing for me with a CI+ module, which was difficult to set during installation and then after switching to a different channel gave the message that no video and audio was available. Then after trying different settings I discovered that there are language-deviating menus.launch

A couple of owners reported serious issues such as total loss of sound after a repair, or unfinalized firmware causing the TV to become inaccessible shortly after purchase.

One frustrated commenter notes the lack of PCM 5.1 surround sound support alongside FreeSync, unlike some competitors, calling it not truly PC-ready.
