I just bought an 85 in TCL Q7 w/ Google TV to replace my 75 inch TCL roku 6-series. I took it back. The Google TV OS was awful compared to Roku. It was so slow and choppy. My direct tv stream app was almost unusable. Roku is 50x better and faster. TCL sucks now

I actually like they idea of getting the inputs closer to center. I can't count how many times I've gone to hook up a PlayStation or cable box, only to realize the cables were not long enough to place it on the opposite side of the cabinet. This is especially problematic when you switch from Samsung TV to an LG, which tend to have their input bays on opposite sides of the TV from each other.

Gotta admit that the LG Zero connect box looks like a pretty good solution to the spaghetti problem at the TV. Maybe that technology will eventually trickle to screen sizes and pricing us mere mortals can accommodate.

@@jeffkardosjr.3825 Fair enough, but not having yet seen any pricing on the M3 series, and since it’s debuting at the top of their TV line up, I’m not so sure any would be given away or sold used for a while. Just seems like an interesting approach to solve one of the issues with mitigation of the interconnection problems to larger TVs; in my own immediate family, only one of a total of 7 is not wall mounted. Our TV service provider’s desk top box ( Arris Xi6) is compact enough that it can be Velcroed to the back of bedroom TV is connected via WiFi and provides access to all our streaming apps. A strategically located 2x2 AC outlet can power the works (including sound bar) and all wiring is tidily hidden from view - something that’s pretty easy to get used to. The main 7.1 system downstairs is an altogether different story, and as I’m starting to window shop for a replacement for my 7yr old Vizio D series, I’m paying a lot more attention to some of those details. I happen to live in Canada, and am currently a bit constrained to brand choices, so we’ll just have to see what happens over the next few months.

This is an easy one to figure out and on paper a smart move by Roku. Just look at how long smart TVs have been around and lately their starting to use their streaming apps rather well & efficiently. Buying a separate device that more or less does exactly what your tv does is a dwindling market. Apple TV at least has a niche as a HomeKit hub & pleases IOS fans etc. Roku needed to do something or risk going the route Lucente Technology went, aka not adapting with the times..

I have the settings for hd set mostly but people say different dtuff about sharpness. Movie mode it is 30 but ratings says sharpness should ve at 60. Should it be 50 which i assume is neutral setting? I have not figured out what micro contrast does on my select series. I cant see Any difference and it is on med now. Dynamic contest and noose reduction turned off and warm color temp. The hdr settings are what confuse me. I have no idea where to start with hdr and i don't think any of the thx optimizer i have on dvd would work for that. Not sure if i have any bluray with hdr calibration. Thougt about useing ps4 to do it but not sure how good rhat would be.

I had a Roku 2 and later a 3 back in the day and they both suffered from the HDCP warning issue where intermittently you would need to reboot the Roku to watch anything. This was a software issue that, to my knowledge, was never fixed and was widespread. Roku never admitted to the problem and their official advice was always that it was a problem with your HDMI cable - which was a blatant lie because if it were true, it would never work and you would always have the HDCP warning. Since that, I don’t think I would ever consider buying anything Roku branded again because in my eyes, they’re untrustworthy.
