Hi Stasio, is this better than the old T615T01-LF1V072? Planning to upgrade since 4k gaming is capped at 60fps. Last time Ive seen people run 120fps on some firmware. TIA

Many thanks. Updated to V083 much smoother than V072. Running 4k @ 120hz. Also, I can choose 8, 10 or 12 bit and RGB or YCbCr444.

Right now im testing with 10bit and 444.

Any recommendations on that settings?
TIA

 

[GoldenStars]

[petetherock]

On box itself, is cleary stated ...Google TV (no more Android TV).
TCL placed on server V8-T615T03-LF1V414, as official network Auto update.
