I'm either mad, or a genius, but I've been using my TCL R646 as a monitor for about two weeks now and a TV for a couple months. It's worked out incredibly well, and has held up amazing in the long haul. Here's my long term take on this TV, easily the best bang for buck on 4k 120hz TVs.

I bought the 55 inch version, and so far it's been spot on. Firmware updated during the setup using the home app.
Its been solid, not buggy at all. You know the drill apps are apps some better than others. Netflix has always been weird at times.

I’ve had the TV for about six months and I think it’s the best. Amazing picture. There is not a better deal with gaming. I have. Oled C2 as well and this TV goes toe to toe with it.

Thank you for the amazing review! We appreciate you showing love! ♥

This looks so clean, it looks better and suits your desk than a monitor IMO. I think something like a 48 inch oled panel would be perfect. That’s what I use and now I’m not ever changing my setup.

I just bought an opened box excellent condition from BB for $473. Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow!

If you are using this TV as a monitior ive got a tip that i use. Create a custom resolution in Windows to turn this 55" 4k monitor into a 39" ultrawide monitor with vrr and 120hz. Just buy a high bandwidth displayport to hdmi cable.

I upgraded my 2017 SONY LED 55 to this one and its a great surprise at low cost and wonderful picture quality.

Shopping for a new tv and this review helped me a lot. Paired this tv with a new ps5 slim and can be happier. Great content.

Every time I see a review like this I immediately notice the brightness of non-OLED panels. I upgraded from a Vizio P55 to a LG G1 and while the overall picture is way better on the OLED, it’s noticeably dimmer

just got this for my gaming setup. I watched a lot of reviews. and RTINGS rated it a 8.3, and the picture on this display is beautiful, the black levels are really solid, and the input lag I believe is 5.8 ms and COD feels super responsive, and I'm so surprised. It's an amazing TV for the price, bc I was going to get a Samsung Qled, and the C2 OLED which i took back bc I didn't want to have an expensive OLED just for gaming.

I'm using it as a monitor as well. I sit 6 feet away and it helps with eye strain and looks AMAZING! One of the least regretted purchases I have made.

as a blink fan, i appreciate that guitar hanging on your wall, also nice review.

I bought a 48" C1 just over 6 months ago as my PC monitor and I love it!!!
I use a large solid wood harvest dining room table as my desk so I have plenty of space for my set up.
I am so glad the C1 did not come in a 42" or I would have gone with that, but I love the size of a 48" screen as my PC monitor.
I even moved both my PS5 and Switch dock from the TV room so now all my gaming is in one location.
Furthermore, PC gaming on a 48" 4k HDR OLED screen has made my PC gaming experience like console gaming but without having to choose between fidelity/resolution mode vs performance.

I have this TV. I freaking love it. If you dont have the budget for an OLED then get this TV! I promise you you wont regret it. Contrast ratio is damn good, it has local dimming too and among the best I have seen on a TV this cheap. Its a no brainer, get this if you have a Series X or PS5.

I have been using the 65 inch version of this Tv for a year now and it has been great but I am now noticing that it has developed a few DSE (Dirty Screen Effect) spots that are noticeable on a few games but thankfully not in video content yet.

Как же я завидую всем кто живет в развитых странах, вы можете покупать самую топовую технику за рекомендованную цену. В России даже до войны, был +30%. И даже TCL R635 никогда не был у нас в магазинах. Метрополия не равно колония(((

[zdenkakoren]

TCL R646 2021 is basically a Sony x900f 2018 with ALLM, 5% overall improvment and biggest improvement is
Native Contrast 5, 089 : 1 vs 8, 542 : 1 and Contrast with local dimming 5, 725 : 1 vs 19, 300 : 1 and this is due to mini led vs standard led tape. 65" is same price.
Hell even X900E FROM 2017 is good.

[lifeonmars]

Thank you for the follow up. Been thinking about grabbing a 65 inch model of this & a c1.

[michaelwyckoff]

I still think my TCL R635 is a excellent TV even though it was their first version of a Miniled TV. I got a exceptionally clean panel. I think it's as good as the 646.and now the 655 2022 new model.

Although unintentional I appreciate the views of the tv that shows window glare. Someone who has a bright room I like to see shows real world application with a bright glaring window.
