I have worked on TCL TVs in the past. It’s the worst piece of shit I have ever seen. TVs running Linux with the oldest kernels, and the worst scripts to boot this piece of shit. It doesn’t surprise me that they have bad updates.
The worst I have seen: when the display is freezing for a few seconds, it means that the gstreamer pipeline has crashed big time, and the TV is literally rebooting to pretend that “something is happening.”
Also they make TVs for Toshiba and maybe more. Don’t buy Toshiba TVs, it’s Chinese bash scripts behind. Have fun somehow if you get one of those.
That’s unfortunate. I used two TCLs at a gf’s house and they were the fastest things I’ve ever used. I was able to push any button and control the menu in like less than 2 seconds after booting.
Here’s hoping they can get the updates figured out. I’m thinking they’d be my next TV, tbh
A Costco employee pushed TCL when I was looking at TVs. They had better specs on paper, were bigger, brighter, more pixels etc per dollar, and I’m sure they move a lot of units because of that. Bummer.

Probably not booting, but woken up from sleep
Tbh there will be nothing but Chinese left in a few years. This year even Sony is exiting the market.
They honesty aren’t that bad considering
You should see their competitors
