Maintaining a long upload pace or not being consistent with it and releasing a video after a long amount of time is the better option. You can polish your work a lot more.
This right here is what a Tech review should be. This is executed perfectly. A lot of facts with some opinions and comedy in the mix. So many funny little things added in to keep interest. Blur cat, fan off, and random sound stutters. You really did a great job, hope this channel takes off. Seems like a great start already.
I WATCHED FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME,AND I THINK THIS PRESENTER IS A NATURALLY GIFTED VIDEO PRESENTER / STORY TELLER,WITH HIS ADOREABLE MEOW BUDDY. WONDERING WHY HE SEEMINGLY STOPPED MAKING ANY MORE SALES VIDEOS? HE HAD OVER 1 MILLION VIEWS @SOME POINT. LIKEABLE VIDEOS.
That's what my family said to me when I was a kid, that and: "Kids are like trinkets, they're made to be stared at and adored, not heard so shut the fuck up."
Elijah The Beast I get what you mean by I think the point of his videos being so spaced out is so that he has time to really get to know and experience the products he is reviewing. I would like him to post more often but I know that in doing so some of the quality that I like will fade. but this is a valid argument you have here though
I could be wrong as it's been a long time since I've chatted with him, but I think he's a student. Most of the "big" RUclips channels we're used to posting new content every day have multiple people people developing topics, recording, editing, etc. Since the videos he's released thus far appear to be high quality, well researched, well rehearsed and well edited then you can expect it to take quite a long time to complete each one, assuming he intends to continue making such high quality content.
Elijah The Beast not true. sure his videos would appear more often as suggestions, but if he rushes and the quality suffers, not only would he get less subscribers, but he'd stand to lose those he already had
This tv does not have terrible input lag and 30hz! It allows 60hz at 4k and HDR10! You just need to upgrade your cable to HDMI 2.0!!!! 10/10 would buy again, and great video, subbed.
I bought this same model TCL 55 inch at the beginning of this year, it was $538, I should of gotten the $578 model that has the ROKU 3 ear plug jack on the remote very convenient when your wife goes to sleep and you still want to watch videos, everything you said is spot on, clear as hell, my son just bought a VIZIO 60 inch 4k TV and it was $598 on Black Friday, this TCL is brighter and clearer, BTW TCL and Hisense are the 2 top TV brands from China, in fact they are both in the top 10 list of quality TV manufacturers on the planet, you may ask well how many TV manufacturers are there, well they are hundreds of TV manufacturers but thousands rebrands OEM that are built from these true TV manufacturers and put other labels on them, if you want your own brand say DeV Tech you contact companies like TCL or Hisense and have them build you this same model with your label on it, you have to buy at least 1000 or more but you'll get them for around $200, and that includes the Roku in it, you can even specify the Roku 3 with the audio jack on the remote, point is these TVs are as good as the best of them, back in the 80s Zenith was a reputable TV brand neck and neck with Sony, Sanyo was considered an inferior brand, well as it turns out it was a Zenith rebranding just a different label on the same TV, and people swore up and down it was worth paying several hundreds more for the same size Zenith TV because Sanyo Sucked and only the inside people knew this, in the internet era this would of leaked out the minute they rebranded it, they now have the TCL 65 inch for less than $1000 but watch it drop to $600 by mid year, great TVs

DeV cool i'll give it a try, yeah I debated on whether to buy this TV but I'm glad I got it, like I mentioned it's brighter than the VIZIO next year I believe they will include HDR
DeV 99% of people that buy 4k TVs for $500 or less probably aren't even using there TV properly/ viewing content in 4k. Also the processors that run the cheap/ 4k TVs that came out in 2012 -2014 aren't powerful enough to give a good experience in 4k, on top of this probablem you can't just grab an NVIDIA Shield TV, or a Roku 4k, because of HDCP 2.2, which is copy right protection, so basically what that means is none of your HDMI ports are capable of producing 4k. so to fix that problem you would need a 4k capable HDCP stripper, which basically strips out the HDCP blocking, which allows you to connect 4k capable devices to your HDMI ports. Anyway most people think 4k sucks, because they've never seen 4k content, because they dont understand HDCP, and the slow processor that powers the internal apps isn't really capable of powering/giving you a good 4k experience, and also the HZ are 30, meaning the TV is only capable of 30 frames a second. Point being is gaming wise in 4k you need to buy a more expensive TV, but if you just want to watch 4k movies/TV you need to buy a 4k HDCP Splinter, which is like $40 or less. Anyway HDCP is what you need to look into if you bought a 4k TV under $500.
As he pointed out...he uses everything wireless. Even if the HDMI ports are as you say, it won't affect what he uses it for. Which part of the video did you not watch?
Brandon Herrin I wasn't necessarily referring to his TV specifically, I was basically just trying to help people that wanted to use there HDMI ports to view 4k content, and didn't want to deal with copy right problems/ HDCP, but on top of that I was also talking about some processors in some TVs are not powerful enough to stream/wirelessly produce a good experience in 4k, thats were needing to use your 4k TVs HDMI ports is helpful, and to do that on some TVs you need a 4k HDCP splitter, along with a 4k roku or an Nvidia shield TV. I also talked about HZ as well, which most cheaper 4k TVs only have 30HZ, which means the TV is only capable of producing 30 frames per second, ideally you want at least 60HZ if not 120HZ. Maybe you didn't understand. I was referring to wireless when I was talking about the processors not being powerful enough in some TVs to get a good 4k experience streaming/wirelessly/ through WiFi.
Thanks buddy! Thanks to you, picked up a 55" TCL 4k (55s401) yesterday at Walmart for $398! Its an amazing TV, looks soooo good and the interface is great! GO GET THIS TV!!!!
medranofamilyCA I bought mine from Wal-Mart for the same price. It wasn't because of this review, though. I bought it because of the many good reviews I saw of this tv on Amazon.
ClashOfRoyale I have a Low end tablet from tcl bought it for 120€ with this specs Snapdragon 400 2GB RAM 5600 mah Battery 10.1inch FULL HD screen And Full Vannila Android I love it!! performance wise : Vainglory highest settings with no lags and 45-50FPS!!!
Yung TedBounty i have teclast x98 plus 2 Intel atom x5 z8300 4gb of ram Dual boot android 5.1.1 and windows 10 64bit 9.7 inch retina screen Bought it for 150€ :)
8-9 years ago, my mom convinced my dad to buy a $7000 LCD T.V which was 45 inches and had ugly gray speakers are the side that now have a lot of static. It was 1080P and now they're offering 4k T.Vs for this price. O.K then!
Hey bro thanks for the tcl 4k review. I needed budget 4k monitors for a gig and picked up two of these babys at Wallmart under $400 each! They are so good and the slick roku UI blows my Samsung $2,000 led at home out of the water. I work in digital media and the specs on these 55” are fantastic displays for real world UHD content. I would have not purchased if I haven’t watched your review! Thanks 👍🏻
bruh you don't understand i just scoured the entire video because of this this shit was the first thing i saw when i just woke up because i edited this all night and got no sleep literally had a heart attack you're paying my hospital bills
DeV That wasn't my intention with the comment >.< Sorry about that but I'm unfortunately not rich enough for your hospital bills.. So looks like I'll have to get a loan now..
Amazing video and amazing quality of video! I don't know why but a smile whipped across my face when you said "alright what's the catch" and you looked over to the cat and it meowed, I don't know if it was planned but it was pretty cool!
Tim Hurkmans cause his videos are coherent easy to watch and audio is on point. his video is relatable to a market that the majority is on RUclips trying to search for things like his videos. his videos are clean and simple. presentation is quality and he obviously cares about the content he creates. most importantly he probably likes creating his videos cause they were things he was curious about as well and loves to share his findings.
Great video! I have a question, though. When you plug your laptop to the HDMI port, are all the settings available? Or are some of them grayed out? I bought a TCL 42" TV once, and I hated it 'cause I was stuck with its default saturation. It was hideous! Grass looked radioactive.
The new s405 then would blow your mind as it's the 2017 model and has an input lag of only 15ms and is the top-rayed budget TV for gaming on rtings.com .
I liked the video and gave it a thumbs up. You have a good pace and a good voice for a channel like this. But I don't agree with everything. I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me but.... Brighter and more colorful is the easiest way for TV's to attract consumer attention in a store, it absolutely does not indicate higher picture quality. Look at black level, contrast ratio, picture processing, color accuracy, response time, clouding/bleeding/blooming etc. I do however agree it's a bargain for the price and Roku is a fun addition. But as far as smart TV's goes I'd rather have an external device and focus only on the TV's picture quality. Also IR blasters in remotes are perfect for many external speakers/soundbars so they can learn the IR signal in case HDMI-CEC is not supported (or doesn't function good). RF is a lot faster but also harder to use for other products. Samsung high-end TV's are not 700 dollars, those are the entry level 4K TV's. Samsung uses RF in combination with IR for that exact purpose. 4K blurays are indeed expensive, but they are a LOT better than streaming, prices will come down soon though. Just take the audio.. Dolby digital on netflix.. whereas blurays contain Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, DTS HD Master etc. No hard compression added to the picture either. Full 4:4:4, 60 FPS, 2160P in HDR with HD audio. HDR is more important than the 4K resolution and requires a really good contrast ratio and really good black levels combined with wider color gamut and good color reproduction. When you've seen a high-end TV showing 4K HDR from a bluray disc in a dark room you will see theres no comparison to TCL. I have a TCL in the bedroom and it's an ok TV, nothing more. However if 4K is worth it? YES but it does depend on your budget, I would personally not buy a 1080p TV 2016 (maybe for the bedroom), considering that 4K is being embraced at a faster rate than 1080 was. But I've never seen a good 4K TV in that price range. If you have a good 1080p TV today keep it until prices come down further or just be willing to pay if you want to have a REAL 4K TV, pixels are easy, but keep in mind that true 4K is a lot more than just more pixels.
The Samsung and Vizios you wanted aren't considered "Premium" they are more of like the entry levels of the series with Samsung's 6 and 7 series being entry and Vizio's E being theirs. Their "Premium" TVs would be samsung's 8 and 9 series and Vizio's M and P series. There's not much titles out right now on 4K bluray but it's still a better answer than streaming. But there's many options to get content, but you shouldn't drag the disc format. RUclips doesn't offer actual Hollywood movies in 4k and Netflix only got their Originals in 4K. Amazon might be the best choice considering they have videos with HDR and 4K offering from Originals and Hollywood movies. Also Hulu just started offering 4K.
You tell people to "forget about 4K blu ray" yet you don't seem to realize that disc content is around 70mbit/sec bitrate or higher and has lossless audio and HDR. Yes the 4K BD costs are ridiculous right now but you can rent them (google rent 4K BD). For your living room TV that is important. As an owner of a GTX1080 you should understand why quality is important. Also this TV is not a 10 bit panel so no HDR. HDR is the single most important technology leap in TVs for the past 10 years and is present on nearly all current-year netflix and amazon original content as well as every 4K BD ever released. Even the low bitrate streamable 4K versions have HDR.
sorry to hear..best to get them in before dusk and keep indoors safe all night, with an accessible in-only direction cat door in the day for them to escape any danger, ...so many dangers..hope he/she chipped and id?..hope he returns to you safely
TF2Player the newer smart tv's are a lot better. I just bought a Samsung 4k HDR 70". it's a mid range high end TV but the OS is pretty smooth. I don't use the OS much because I use my Xbox.
FkknJerry14 lol a lot, but the point is not all smart TV's have crummy smart features. Yeah you might have to spend a little more, but you're not spending more for the smart features at that point.
hey dev, can you recommend this TV for console gaming? This TV looks great but the input lag certainly has me worried. Has anything changed since you filmed those parts of your video?
I think a lot of my bias comes from playing exclusively on PC with a 144hz G-Sync monitor. I messed around with V-Sync settings today when I was playing NFL Blitz and I noticed it cut down input lag a little, but the game mode still doesn't do much. Again, I think it's because I'm accustomed to a much faster response time, so if you regularly game on a console already, you should feel right at home. i mean hey if not use that return policy and let me know how it went.
You're a fucking idiot, Samsung has the best quality televisions available outside of OLED. You must just be another one of those cheap asses that can't afford one so he talks shit about it.
Jeremy Kaminski You're just a Samsung fanboy who is butthurt. Because LG TVs are better, but you probably haven't ever used anything besides Samsung that is why that is your only point of reference.
Um, I clearly said OLED is better moron and I'm not a fanboy of anything, I tested out 4 different TVs before settling on my Samsung. Fact is you have no idea what you're talking about. Btw, lg's OLED panels suck for brightness and still suffer from image retention.
onee lg's ips panels are crap compared to led or oled tv's. I went from a sharp 4k tv which is basically a hisense tv but rebranded to sharp. The sharp had a way better pic then the more expensive lg i got that had an ips display. Every review i watch says ips doesnt have as good of a picture as led. Ips is good for more natural colors but when it comes to 4k i didnt see a difference from the 1080p lg tv that i had.
I love your videos. It's because you are honest and human. We hear the things we want to hear and not making it boring by adding some jokes now and then. Great work man, I'm looking forward to your video's in 2017 :)
You have a future in journalism! Well-spoken, no "ums", "ahhhs", or "likes". You obviously have had training. I'm a subscriber now, keep up the top notch broadcasts!
I couldn't care less about smart TVs to he honest. give me a basic 4k panel with no frills and charge me less for a "dumb TV". I'll just use a separate set top box for everything else. Nvidia Shield/Amazon Fire TV can do everything else I want better than anything else I've ever used.
I would not be too worried about the longevity of the TCL TV I owned and still do own one of their first flat screens that they produced about 10 years ago in fact my children use it to watch television in their playroom so it is 10 plus years pretty much and still going strong
Scott Dunn TCL is a good company. Prior to buying my 55s401, I knew nothing about them. However, when tv shopping via online, I saw that particular tv had better reviews than many other brands. I looked at their website and was impressed.
Don't be sad, I got three quarters through the video when I realised this is just another dumb kid that thinks he knows what he's talking about. Even the position in the shop the TV was, was a dead giveaway it was a sucker move. I'll guarantee you that the features, durability and life span, after sales service, warranty, resale, and sex appeal of your TV is 1000 times better than his. See if he is still as happy in a year when he wants to sell and upgrade his TV. General rule for life is, "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is". Unfortunately the TVs were probably both made in an Asian sweatshop.
LOL yep Sex Appeal that's a big one for sure... I know when I'm TV shopping I walk into big box store and say "Give me the sexiest tv you got" Last time I did that... They tried to sell me the $3500 Samsung refrigerator with the TV screen in the front.... I won't argue warranty service but to be fair Samsung is fairly horrible too (and I own lots of Samsung shit!) :) I think this was a very well done review, it wasn't all positives. Not sure why the butt hurt.
Roku Tvs are amazing. I have one in my bedroom and I love it. so affordable and very fast and great picture and sound. I recommend it to anyone. Im thinking about getting a 4K one for the family room. Worth it for sure.
Cat at 2:05 " Can you stop F%#$@*% moving! You are bumping my head!". (Brief period of annoyance) Cat at 2:30 " F@%# it I'm moving". Ha Ha.. Love the videos DeV! Take care
I got a vizio 4K "home theater display" that has a chromecast built in. 55" for $399. no TV Tuner. only thing that sucks is the remote is your phone, kinda clunky, but barely use it after setup and calibrated.
Well it did come with a remote, for power, volume, and source. Never took it out of the packaging. The phone/tablet remote for the vizio line has some bad rap and I can see the difficulty if one isn't technically inclined. The amount of calibration that can be done could be daunting for some. However, being able to calibrate it to my Xbox One with the tuning software on the xbox, holy crap, makes a world of difference!
I have the first gen TCL 1080p and its good for cable, but my brother got the 4k 55" TCL and it is amazing for watching 4k on netflix and playing games on xbox one x. It is well worth the $350-400 on amazon. If your paying $700+ for a sony, vizio, or samsung you are throwing away your money. Save it and buy a nice sound system.
You’re under rated tbh, you have 76k subs when you should have a million. High quality videos with really good voice audio. Keep it up! I love this video because I literally just bought this but haven’t used it yet.
I really like how structured your video is. It builds up and there's really a lot of effort to the camera angles and the positioning of your video despite the lack of room. And the fact that none of your videos are sponsored - wow that passion. Looking forward to more videos! :) Keep it up. This is definitely a treat to humanity.
Your cat needs to be in every video from now on.
IT'S SUCH A CUTE KITTIE
He needs to become like a character on his reviews.
This cat must be like Jack in Unbox Therapy, only visible.
Virtual Glitch Jack is his main camera, not a cat.
The Digital Crank Shhh, don't break it
Wait? I was thoroughly entertained for the entire 20 minutes... About TVs?
What is happening?
Ivo Sotirov i know right.. I don't even want a TV. I just love his vids
Yeah I just got a new TV for Christmas. I don't care though because this guy makes awesome videos.
Ivo Sotirov Too many cooks
Ivo Sotirov true,my 1st time I've sat through a Tv review
i bet it has something to do with his voice, it is kind of relaxing and pleasant to listen to.
Wtf .. I thought this was gonna be boring but I watched the entire thing .
Tuquan DaGAMER same lol I watch the whole thing..
SAME
And down the Rabbit hole I went.
His cat puts up with so much shit, my cat just leaves if i adjust my position slightly..
cute cat
Cause cats are assholes. Lol
@@jbw5485 no, people are..lots of cats rock
@@thesummerland6165 stop fooling yourself lol
Forget the TV, How much is that cat?
LOL.
I love your videos they are such good quality, well put together, and useful.
Cast CC Your logo is C Launcher's icon.
so? i would rather have that then brodacast my face all over the internet
Or create your own logo?
i could but eh to lasy but yeah i could
Virtual Glitch why does it matter what photo he uses ?
If you have consistent uploads you'll be a very successful youtuber, mark my words for that
he'll upload when he wants
In the beginning of the video he mentioned he uploaded video every 2 month
Maintaining a long upload pace or not being consistent with it and releasing a video after a long amount of time is the better option. You can polish your work a lot more.
Neonal Thank you means alot :')
Arshad Zulfa Virtual Glitch but wouldn't you want him to succeed? Even if he only had a video a month, the consistency would help him grow

You really did a great job, hope this channel takes off. Seems like a great start already.
I don't think buying a tv any time soon.I don't even watch tv.
Why did I watch 20 mins on it?
.
Cat is dope through.
I just want a bigger TV for watching movies

"You speak when spoken to." I like this phrase I will use it from now on.
Tomes I have no idea why this comment is so funny, it just is 😂😂😂
That's what my family said to me when I was a kid, that and: "Kids are like trinkets, they're made to be stared at and adored, not heard so shut the fuck up."
This guy and that exact moment remind me of my uncle.
Are you like some maniac or what? Because I am the watcher.
+Tomes If that was the case nobody would speak.
You have a nice Radio Voice man. Like your video will sub your channel. Nice work
6:50 that blurring haha
If you upload at least once a week your subscription count will spike up

Y'all keep talkinh about 1080p and 4k resolution while im still struggiling with 144p
I pull a strong 72p
4K is 2160p
This guy is so talented in video making
It is so unfortunate that he stopped creating new content
I could be wrong but I believe he’s studying full time.
damn he is 20 wtf, no offence you look like nearly 30
ZDEyE Cuz he's a manly man man
ZDEyE it's bc he has a full blown beard and has a little bit of fat on his face lol
ZDEyE and sounds 40 but that's a good thing.
ZDEyE and yet im getting strange reactions in the mid center section of my body.....bearcubs kill me...ejem and hes a good vlogger....and great voice
ZDEyE thought we was a young 28
I like the cat. Especially the time were it was licking.
and meowing ^^
and the purring at the end
you need to upload more man, your content is good
This tv does not have terrible input lag and 30hz! It allows 60hz at 4k and HDR10!
You just need to upgrade your cable to HDMI 2.0!!!!
10/10 would buy again, and great video, subbed.
How do you upgrade your cable to 2.0?
DJ DALTON You can buy it from amazon, Walmart or any other place, just ask for HDMI 2.0 or higher than 2.0 like 2.1,2.2
How's it holding up for you 8 months later, if you still have it?
Word just get a 4K Cable from Costco. Great value
K rino
This is the best tv review video I’ve ever seen
I almost NEVER make it through an entire video/review. Your video was an exception. The video was well made, and a new follower was gained.

medranofamilyCA I bought mine from Wal-Mart for the same price. It wasn't because of this review, though. I bought it because of the many good reviews I saw of this tv on Amazon.
How is holding up? Looking to buy the same model today. Any help would be appreciated.
Joshua Frost It's great! I love it! It's great for gaming, as well. You won't regret purchasing it.
I have the tv also. can you mirror your pc to the tv? I have window's 10 and iti's not working for me. Thanks.
Raphael Manjarres I believe SO. I'll have to check.
Finally dude! I have been waiting for you to upload a new video! fantastic! :)

8-9 years ago, my mom convinced my dad to buy a $7000 LCD T.V which was 45 inches and had ugly gray speakers are the side that now have a lot of static. It was 1080P and now they're offering 4k T.Vs for this price. O.K then!
Upvoted for Too many cooks
how this guy is not is big youtube, lol??
Nick Giacomini how is this guy not big on RUclips?
knowledge is everything I guess
TCL's sales just jumped lol
BrianYYH na it's been on the top of Amazon when just typing in tv for months
I rarely watch anything longer than 10 minutes while on youtube. Congrats, saw every minute of this video and I dont even need a tv or ready for 4k
Hey bro thanks for the tcl 4k review. I needed budget 4k monitors for a gig and picked up two of these babys at Wallmart under $400 each! They are so good and the slick roku UI blows my Samsung $2,000 led at home out of the water. I work in digital media and the specs on these 55” are fantastic displays for real world UHD content. I would have not purchased if I haven’t watched your review! Thanks 👍🏻
afektmedia I LOVE Samsung, but they are overpriced. The TCL is the best deal for all you get.
Luckily 3D and curved TVs are getting fazed out
It's great. I can understand curved TV's benefits, but I think the drawbacks are too severe for me to ever legitimize it in my mind.
Sweet! Now I know your password!
(will be back after RUclips finishes processing)
dragonfand how
Masterzz 57 ... (it was a joke in how it said "your password" at 0:03)
bruh you don't understand i just scoured the entire video because of this
this shit was the first thing i saw when i just woke up because i edited this all night and got no sleep
literally had a heart attack you're paying my hospital bills
DeV lmao rekt
DeV That wasn't my intention with the comment >.<
Sorry about that but I'm unfortunately not rich enough for your hospital bills.. So looks like I'll have to get a loan now..
Amazing video and amazing quality of video! I don't know why but a smile whipped across my face when you said "alright what's the catch" and you looked over to the cat and it meowed, I don't know if it was planned but it was pretty cool!
Spartiosh o
Spartiosh I
Is that a gtx 1080 I see under your TV. I thought you said you couldn't afford stuff.
I got my Vizio HDTV in 2007. Cost me $400. Now there are larger 4K smart TVs for the same price.
The Ignored Gender I did the same thing but my vizio still looks good at 1080p
The Ignored Gender i got my 32" sony bravia 3D tv in 2010 for 1400. Now there are big 65" 4K tvs with HDR for 600 and i feel so dumb.
My dad bought a 40” 1080p tv in 2006 for 1400$ isn’t it crazy how prices change over time
That was 10 years ago so who cares
Bought a 52" sharp in 2009 for $1,400. Crazy how much cheaper tvs are now
My son broke my Visio 50' - this video convinced me to buy this product. I watched 10 minutes of this and paused it to head to the store.
No, in situations like that you should be thankful no injury came of the incident.
daily damage yo, chill lol
daily damage 😒😒
I'm just like ur son oof
My internet can barely handle 360p. Yes, I live in the U.S.
Shypl upgrade service, computer, hardware, router, and/or modem
Thomas Galland That service may not be available to him/her depending on where they live. Which sounds like a very rural area.
I'm 16. I live with my parents and they will not upgrade. I'll just have to wait until I move out
It's not WIDELY available, but it is available. I live in lower Alabama. My parents just refuse to change our internet.

How did you manage to get 38000 subs after 4 videos
Tim Hurkmans cause his videos are coherent easy to watch and audio is on point. his video is relatable to a market that the majority is on RUclips trying to search for things like his videos. his videos are clean and simple. presentation is quality and he obviously cares about the content he creates. most importantly he probably likes creating his videos cause they were things he was curious about as well and loves to share his findings.
his videos about pcs for students went super viral
he also is studying a degree in video production so he likes what he is doing and is very good at it
Thatz Henry do you know what he does to make money now?
Willy G He's in full time education so probably has a student loan but RUclips probably gives him a little boost financially
I only watched for the cat
Same. :P
Great video! I have a question, though. When you plug your laptop to the HDMI port, are all the settings available? Or are some of them grayed out? I bought a TCL 42" TV once, and I hated it 'cause I was stuck with its default saturation. It was hideous! Grass looked radioactive.
The new s405 then would blow your mind as it's the 2017 model and has an input lag of only 15ms and is the top-rayed budget TV for gaming on rtings.com .
D Gillies Nah, the TCL P607 would blow his mind
Actually, TCL is a famous brand here in China. It even produces BlackBerry phones.
it's funny when people don't know shit about something huge in other countries
Can you blame them?
monsterhunter445 true, I mean, Blackberries :P
Please keep the cat in your future videos :D
i am really surprised nobody knows about TCL
Oliwer Wijk what's a TLC?
oh god
Oliwer Wijk it's TCL dummy
tv channel
Until this Black Friday, I only saw them available in Costco or online. Almost got one a few years ago, but waited.
I liked the video and gave it a thumbs up. You have a good pace and a good voice for a channel like this. But I don't agree with everything. I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me but.... Brighter and more colorful is the easiest way for TV's to attract consumer attention in a store, it absolutely does not indicate higher picture quality. Look at black level, contrast ratio, picture processing, color accuracy, response time, clouding/bleeding/blooming etc. I do however agree it's a bargain for the price and Roku is a fun addition. But as far as smart TV's goes I'd rather have an external device and focus only on the TV's picture quality. Also IR blasters in remotes are perfect for many external speakers/soundbars so they can learn the IR signal in case HDMI-CEC is not supported (or doesn't function good). RF is a lot faster but also harder to use for other products. Samsung high-end TV's are not 700 dollars, those are the entry level 4K TV's. Samsung uses RF in combination with IR for that exact purpose. 4K blurays are indeed expensive, but they are a LOT better than streaming, prices will come down soon though. Just take the audio.. Dolby digital on netflix.. whereas blurays contain Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, DTS HD Master etc. No hard compression added to the picture either. Full 4:4:4, 60 FPS, 2160P in HDR with HD audio. HDR is more important than the 4K resolution and requires a really good contrast ratio and really good black levels combined with wider color gamut and good color reproduction. When you've seen a high-end TV showing 4K HDR from a bluray disc in a dark room you will see theres no comparison to TCL. I have a TCL in the bedroom and it's an ok TV, nothing more. However if 4K is worth it? YES but it does depend on your budget, I would personally not buy a 1080p TV 2016 (maybe for the bedroom), considering that 4K is being embraced at a faster rate than 1080 was. But I've never seen a good 4K TV in that price range. If you have a good 1080p TV today keep it until prices come down further or just be willing to pay if you want to have a REAL 4K TV, pixels are easy, but keep in mind that true 4K is a lot more than just more pixels.
I miss this guy's content. I really hope that he brings back his channel.
The Samsung and Vizios you wanted aren't considered "Premium" they are more of like the entry levels of the series with Samsung's 6 and 7 series being entry and Vizio's E being theirs. Their "Premium" TVs would be samsung's 8 and 9 series and Vizio's M and P series.
There's not much titles out right now on 4K bluray but it's still a better answer than streaming. But there's many options to get content, but you shouldn't drag the disc format. RUclips doesn't offer actual Hollywood movies in 4k and Netflix only got their Originals in 4K. Amazon might be the best choice considering they have videos with HDR and 4K offering from Originals and Hollywood movies. Also Hulu just started offering 4K.
You tell people to "forget about 4K blu ray" yet you don't seem to realize that disc content is around 70mbit/sec bitrate or higher and has lossless audio and HDR. Yes the 4K BD costs are ridiculous right now but you can rent them (google rent 4K BD). For your living room TV that is important. As an owner of a GTX1080 you should understand why quality is important. Also this TV is not a 10 bit panel so no HDR. HDR is the single most important technology leap in TVs for the past 10 years and is present on nearly all current-year netflix and amazon original content as well as every 4K BD ever released. Even the low bitrate streamable 4K versions have HDR.
The TCL S-series (same price range) and P-series (a little more expensive) both support HDR-10. The P-series also supports Dolby Vision.
every video you have created has been top notch quality, keep it up!
Can your tv do this, and it's only 399
my cat looks exactly like yours and he left a month ago and hasn't come back😢
Swof .I hope is fine and come home.Cats have 10 year live.!
Its dead lmao
The Force who made you the way you are?
sorry to hear..best to get them in before dusk and keep indoors safe all night, with an accessible in-only direction cat door in the day for them to escape any danger, ...so many dangers..hope he/she chipped and id?..hope he returns to you safely
I have a smart tv but its so slow that we got a chromecast for it.
TF2Player the newer smart tv's are a lot better. I just bought a Samsung 4k HDR 70". it's a mid range high end TV but the OS is pretty smooth. I don't use the OS much because I use my Xbox.
FkknJerry14 lol a lot, but the point is not all smart TV's have crummy smart features. Yeah you might have to spend a little more, but you're not spending more for the smart features at that point.
I farted several times while watching this, and I only got about 15 seconds in.
nice
Happens to the 12 of us
LostinOC Saaame
only 4 videos and still probably my favorite channel on youtube, keep the videos coming man!
5 now
Yep
I bought a TCL also wroth 1080p a few years ago & honestly it works great. The only downside was the volume but no biggie on that.
TCL has like 25% of the market now I think
Ur voice is soothing
6:45 look at the cat
Ultra Violent Wish you could do that?
HAHAHAHHAHAHA
lol he censored it.
This reminds me of regular car reviews for some reason
Good review, but your cat stole the show, I want him/her 😊
I have this TV and love it
hey dev, can you recommend this TV for console gaming? This TV looks great but the input lag certainly has me worried. Has anything changed since you filmed those parts of your video?
I think a lot of my bias comes from playing exclusively on PC with a 144hz G-Sync monitor. I messed around with V-Sync settings today when I was playing NFL Blitz and I noticed it cut down input lag a little, but the game mode still doesn't do much. Again, I think it's because I'm accustomed to a much faster response time, so if you regularly game on a console already, you should feel right at home.
i mean hey if not use that return policy and let me know how it went.
DeV Thanks man! appreciate your thoughts, and great video.
Could always use a PC monitor.
Harris Yasir "Get behind me Satan."
LOL....what do you mean
Your videos are just outstanding dude, keep it up
nice vid bruh, i love your channel and i understand that it is hard to make videos,
keep up the hard work man!
Liked for censored cat
I been having a TCL for 2 years and it's still as beautiful as when I got it.
how does a 4k TV cost 2* less than a phone
Night Raiders!! you mean half?
+Brett Domenick he meant two times cheaper
Night Raiders!! my Galaxy Note 4 (cheapest 1440p phone) costs 299$ or some price near
What is the catch? They probably don't spend anything on marketing in the US. That is why Samsung sells shit TVs for such expensive prices.
You're a fucking idiot, Samsung has the best quality televisions available outside of OLED. You must just be another one of those cheap asses that can't afford one so he talks shit about it.
Jeremy Kaminski You're just a Samsung fanboy who is butthurt. Because LG TVs are better, but you probably haven't ever used anything besides Samsung that is why that is your only point of reference.
Um, I clearly said OLED is better moron and I'm not a fanboy of anything, I tested out 4 different TVs before settling on my Samsung. Fact is you have no idea what you're talking about. Btw, lg's OLED panels suck for brightness and still suffer from image retention.
onee rting reviews would say otherwise.
onee lg's ips panels are crap compared to led or oled tv's. I went from a sharp 4k tv which is basically a hisense tv but rebranded to sharp. The sharp had a way better pic then the more expensive lg i got that had an ips display. Every review i watch says ips doesnt have as good of a picture as led. Ips is good for more natural colors but when it comes to 4k i didnt see a difference from the 1080p lg tv that i had.
I love your videos. It's because you are honest and human. We hear the things we want to hear and not making it boring by adding some jokes now and then.
Great work man, I'm looking forward to your video's in 2017 :)
holy shit this is one of the best reviews i have ever seen / heard . ... must not subscribeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ....dammit i subscribed
You have a future in journalism! Well-spoken, no "ums", "ahhhs", or "likes". You obviously have had training. I'm a subscriber now, keep up the top notch broadcasts!
4 more months till the next Video!!!
I couldn't care less about smart TVs to he honest. give me a basic 4k panel with no frills and charge me less for a "dumb TV". I'll just use a separate set top box for everything else. Nvidia Shield/Amazon Fire TV can do everything else I want better than anything else I've ever used.
I'm gonna go out on a whim here and say this tv has no HDR and high input lag...
still working good? considering buying it want to know how it holds up months later
I would not be too worried about the longevity of the TCL TV I owned and still do own one of their first flat screens that they produced about 10 years ago in fact my children use it to watch television in their playroom so it is 10 plus years pretty much and still going strong
Scott Dunn TCL is a good company. Prior to buying my 55s401, I knew nothing about them. However, when tv shopping via online, I saw that particular tv had better reviews than many other brands. I looked at their website and was impressed.
I feel sad now I spent 1700 on a 55 samsung 4k
Not Giving A Single Fᴜck but your tv is probably better than his
Fabio Le Levier I never buy new technology. I wait until prices fall and that tech is more common.
Don't be sad, I got three quarters through the video when I realised this is just another dumb kid that thinks he knows what he's talking about. Even the position in the shop the TV was, was a dead giveaway it was a sucker move.
I'll guarantee you that the features, durability and life span, after sales service, warranty, resale, and sex appeal of your TV is 1000 times better than his.
See if he is still as happy in a year when he wants to sell and upgrade his TV.
General rule for life is, "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is".
Unfortunately the TVs were probably both made in an Asian sweatshop.
LOL yep Sex Appeal that's a big one for sure... I know when I'm TV shopping I walk into big box store and say "Give me the sexiest tv you got" Last time I did that... They tried to sell me the $3500 Samsung refrigerator with the TV screen in the front.... I won't argue warranty service but to be fair Samsung is fairly horrible too (and I own lots of Samsung shit!) :) I think this was a very well done review, it wasn't all positives. Not sure why the butt hurt.

After this vid TCL will be the new Apple
Nah this TV is too underpriced for it to be compared to Apple.
they must remove the speaker jack
Cristian Austin 😂
MrRed That would be a bad thing.
Roku Tvs are amazing. I have one in my bedroom and I love it. so affordable and very fast and great picture and sound. I recommend it to anyone. Im thinking about getting a 4K one for the family room. Worth it for sure.
do u have to pa for the roku service
I wonder how it's held up the last few months? What about input lag from a console, any different?
This video helped me make my decision thanks Dev
TCL why you no sell in canada??
Joseph Boulet because communism doesn't sell out to communism, just to the capitalist endless consumerist.
Its in Canada now! Just bought one!
saw 55 inch 4k smarts for 299 at bestbuy that one was out of stock so I settled for 1080p for 250
StillBornRec if the quality Of 1080p is good, it could look better than 1L4k
Saw a 50inch 4k for bout the same price at bestbuy, it was a display
bad move.....
Cat at 2:05 " Can you stop F%#$@*% moving! You are bumping my head!". (Brief period of annoyance) Cat at 2:30 " F@%# it I'm moving". Ha Ha..
Love the videos DeV! Take care
I've had a TCL TV for years and they're pretty good for the price.
Tcl is actually very popular in other parts of the world. Visio is not known here lol !
i usually dont like cats, i like your cat, she seems dope
I got a vizio 4K "home theater display" that has a chromecast built in. 55" for $399. no TV Tuner. only thing that sucks is the remote is your phone, kinda clunky, but barely use it after setup and calibrated.
and it having some hard core color tuning, holy shit it looks amazing!
dj_doughy interesting. Might have to make a video on this - but using phone as the remote could be a bit of a pain
Well it did come with a remote, for power, volume, and source. Never took it out of the packaging. The phone/tablet remote for the vizio line has some bad rap and I can see the difficulty if one isn't technically inclined. The amount of calibration that can be done could be daunting for some. However, being able to calibrate it to my Xbox One with the tuning software on the xbox, holy crap, makes a world of difference!
Its feb 1st 2018 .. how is it running?
Francisco Lopez III yeah I wanna know
Ditto
Dev where are you man? I miss your quality content.
I have the first gen TCL 1080p and its good for cable, but my brother got the 4k 55" TCL and it is amazing for watching 4k on netflix and playing games on xbox one x. It is well worth the $350-400 on amazon. If your paying $700+ for a sony, vizio, or samsung you are throwing away your money. Save it and buy a nice sound system.
Xbox One X 4K games yessssirrr
iGotTheMojoBaby nipe gaming pc
iGotTheMojoBaby I already gotten a decent Sharp 4K Smart TV for $330 from Wal-Mart.
Tent a center tv price a week
Priscilla Fleurantin could you please let me know how it is. I'm planning on buying this for my Xbox one x as well
iGotTheMojoBaby what games? Xbox don't have games
The video lag he is talking about from games is probably his laptops video card. Get a real video gaming card in your PC and you may not see the lag.
Uh he has a gtx 1080 in their and those aren't high powered games
i miss living with my mum
Yeah same...Now I'm cooped up with ROOM MATES.
Cool.
Now I'm living with your mom. 😉
Ben Shapiro this 👏 is 👏 epic 👏
You’re under rated tbh, you have 76k subs when you should have a million. High quality videos with really good voice audio. Keep it up! I love this video because I literally just bought this but haven’t used it yet.
I really like how structured your video is. It builds up and there's really a lot of effort to the camera angles and the positioning of your video despite the lack of room. And the fact that none of your videos are sponsored - wow that passion. Looking forward to more videos! :) Keep it up. This is definitely a treat to humanity.
