For TCL, can buy from their official shop in shopee or Lazada and they have 3 years on-site warranty. Plus all the freebies they give, not bad actually. I got mine at the roadshow cos they were giving out air purifier but haven’t deliver yet.

Who is the official/authorized dealer? Seller in Shopee/Lazada, seller in Giant, seller in NTUC? Or they are actually from same company?

I don’t know about giant & NTUC but under shopee and Lazada, it’s TCL Singapore and the Jem Roadshow is under this company called Smart Tech SG (google them) who’s showroom is in Link@AMK and they’re the same people at the roadshows as well as shopee/Lazada and even the TCL booth at audio house.

Interested to find out who is actually the official/certified store as The one at Shopee did not indicate that. Warranty term and condition seem different.

But you cannot even see the trees in the background at 12:16. That's horrible.

Found from FB reply. It seem there is 2 dealer selling TCL as from now. The one at Giant and the one at NTUC is different dealer and different warranty term. Not sure about those selling in online platforms.

I would buy with caution. Very similar situation as early Xiaomi TV. Claim has 3 years warranty but ended no one handle it for these parallel importers set

I bought from roadshow because the same personnel was there as when I was at Audio House and at their showroom at AMK. Their Shopee and Lazada shops also from the same seller.

Not sure about Giant and NTUC as never see their TVs there before.

The AMK showroom is their own people selling or somebody else. Because JEM is NTUC selling and delivery. While their people doing installation. If I want a open date, with 2 party doing communication would be difficult.

Hi everyone,

I am looking at the C935, wondering if anyone in this forum has this TV? Wanted to see if any user has good or bad real life everyday usage feedback that can help me decide if the set is a good buy.

I've considered the Samsung S95B and the LG C2. I am concerned about OLED burn in issues and on the web there is also this issue with auto brightness that is widely reported.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!!

Cheers

Do check out the images in a dark room. The local dimming really cannot make it for C835. Not sure about C935. Its as if local dimming is non-existent for C835 even when this setting is set to High. You are better off with an OLED. I do own an LG OLED, LG 3D 4K TV and C835. The worst performance in terms of black level is the TCL. If you intent to watch in a dark setting, TCL is not for you. My 8 year old LG LED 3D TV outperforms in overall black levels (although it has no local dimming).

Otherwise, the C835 images looks vibrant in bright, colorful scenes. The audio is pretty decent due to the built-in Onkyo subwoofer. But a cheap $150 soundbar could easily outperform the built-in audio.

Dont worry about burn-in. By the time if and when it gets noticeable, it will be time for a new TV as there would have been many changes to TV technology.

I would stay away from TCL due to poor tech support. The only way to contact them is via Whatsapp messages and email. If they dont respond, too bad for you.

Saw P732 at NTUC. The black looks dark and color is vibrant (saturated). Connection at the back are in the middle of the panel, which means impossible to reach after wall mounted. $10xx for 65".

Saw P735 65" at $997 at NTUC and thinking of getting it.
Have been using LG in the past so wanted to check if Google TV has any appstore restrictions like Android TV OS Vs Android OS where apps like mewatch won't be available?
