Keep or return ? 65C7K TV issues

Hello I bought a TCL 65C7K and testing it for almost two weeks, great tv for the price in movies, gaming...

But some issues and I'm still in return window (tomorrow deadline), need a final decision on this TV.

  • Eco message pops up when changing brightness/modes → can’t disable it
  • Local dimming : better contrast/blacks, but yellow shift on white subtitles over black → gone when LD disabled
  • Also causes flickering on small white objects, see 0 :07 here :

  • → gone when LD disabled

Firmware v545, OTA stuck. Seen v643 (Android 14) online.

Questions :

  • Any way to rollback firmware if needed ?
  • OTA vs USB updates — is USB the only reliable method now ?

TCL C79K subtitles on black zone

Hello, just got this great TCL C79K for a week, great quality overall for the price.

Anyway, I don’t know if it’s a particular setting or what: when a movie has black stripes at the top and bottom and the subtitles are displayed on those stripes, they’re a bit more yellow than elsewhere... I think it’s related to the contrast, local dimming or what, but I have big doubts...

Thank you!
