Purchased a TCL Q6C QD-miniLed 55” TV. When TCL technician was installing the TV, i noticed a few dead pixels. Another reddit member recommended a white screen test during installation, i simply followed his advice, thanks to him. The technician tried to dismiss that this was not a big issue. Still, i registered a complaint with TCL customer care. It has been 3 days and no communication from TCL yet. Anyone faced a similar issue? Does this warrant a TV replacement?

Bought 65 inch TCL q6c and my viewing distance is around 9 ft

Can someone pls guide me in detail what should the picture settings be and do I need to send up different settings ​presets for different content

My major content 70 percent is cricket and I have found the quality and screen blur and not fully sharp for some reason even at high quality,if someone could pls help me,even ball also feels flickered and I have switched off motion clarity as many said,but the major problem is overall sharpness in all contents

It doesn't look like a mini led 65k tv

I’ll be pairing it with a Sonos Arc Ultra + Sub 4 via HDMI eARC, so audio compatibility is extremely important.

Looking for a TV with:
• Dolby Atmos passthrough
• DTS support
• HDMI eARC
• Excellent picture clarity & color accuracy
• Great HDR performance (Dolby Vision preferred)
• Smooth UI & fast processor
• Good upscaling for OTT content
• 4K panel with decent brightness
• Reliable long-term performance

Usage:
Mostly Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, YouTube & movies.

Please suggest models that work flawlessly with Sonos Arc Ultra without audio delay/compatibility issues.

Hey everyone,

I am helping my sister find a phone. Priorities are-

Camera

Battery back up

Processor for video editing.

ip68 for rain and all.

She is leaning on Vivo v70 (Currently she is a vivo customer), I am trying to push to s25 as I owe one but the battery isn't the strong point. No OnePlus for obvious reasons.

After lots of research and window shopping I have finally bought Sony Bravia 2M2 55inch for effectively 62k

Every imported product = foreign currency leaving India 💸
Small changes by millions of people can make a HUGE difference.

🔋 1. Use Phones & Gadgets Longer
Don’t upgrade every year 📱
Repair > Replace saves billions in imports.

⚡ 2. Buy Energy Efficient Appliances
5⭐ ACs, inverter tech & solar panels ☀️ reduce fuel imports and electricity burden.

⛽ 3. Reduce Fuel Usage
Better driving, public transport, carpooling & EVs = lower oil imports 🚗

🛒 4. Support Indian Manufacturing
Toys, utensils, decor, electronics, furniture — many local MSMEs can compete 💪

🌾 5. Use Indian Oils More
Mustard, groundnut & sesame oil instead of imported palm oil 🥜

👕 6. Prefer Indian Textiles
Support local cotton, handloom & durable clothing instead of fast-fashion imports 🧵

💻 7. Use Indian Software Where Possible
Apps & SaaS subscriptions also send money abroad 🌍
Examples: Zoho, Tally etc.

🏠 8. Repair Culture Comeback
India once had a strong repair economy 🔧
Fixing appliances instead of replacing them saves imports & creates jobs.

✈️ 9. Travel More Inside India
Domestic tourism keeps money inside the country 🏔️

🇮🇳 Real economic strength comes when:
✔️ India manufactures better products
✔️ People support quality local industry
✔️ Imports become strategic, not excessive

Small choices by crores of people can create massive national i

(But can save HUGE foreign currency over time 💸)

🪛 1. Spare Parts Industry
India imports tons of small parts:
- appliance motors
- AC sensors
- laptop batteries
- phone displays

A strong local spare-parts ecosystem could save billions 🔧

☕ 2. Imported Coffee Chains & Packaged Drinks
People pay premium for foreign brands while Indian coffee, tea & local beverages are world class 🇮🇳

Supporting local cafés & brands keeps profits inside India.

🧴 3. Korean/Foreign Cosmetic Craze
Massive money goes into imported skincare & beauty products 💄
India can build strong dermatology-based brands using local manufacturing.

📦 4. Packaging Materials
Even small imported packaging films, foams & plastics add up massively.
India can dominate biodegradable & eco packaging 🌱

🐶 5. Pet Products Industry
Imported pet food, accessories & grooming items are growing fast 🐕
Huge opportunity for Indian manufacturing.

🎮 6. Gaming Economy
Millions spend on foreign games, skins & subscriptions 🎮
India needs:
- local game studios
- Indian stories/mythology games
- esports ecosystems

📱 7. Refurbished Electronics
A strong certified refurbishing market can reduce fresh imports massively.

Imagine:
✔️ repaired iPhones
✔️ refurbished laptops
✔️ reused AC compressors

♻️ Huge forex saver + less e-waste.

🧠 8. Foreign “Brand Mentality” Imports
Many products are imported mainly for status, not quality.

Example:
- luxury water bottles
- overpriced sneakers
- imported decor
- premium packaged foods

India loses forex for branding psychology 🧠💸

🏗️ 9. Construction Materials
India still imports many premium fittings, hardware & smart-home components.

Local manufacturing here can explode with better design quality.

🧪 10. Laboratory & Medical Equipment
Huge hidden dependency.

India imports:
- sensors
- testing machines
- medical devices
- diagnostic electronics

This sector has enormous long-term potential 🇮🇳

🌞 11. Battery Cells — The Future Battlefield
India assembles many products locally but imports lithium cells 🔋

Future winners will control:
- batteries
- rare earth processing
- energy storage

This is as important as oil was before.

📚 12. Educational Imports
Foreign coaching platforms, courses & certifications drain money too.

India can build better:
- skill platforms
- engineering education
- technical labs
- research tools

🚢 13. Shipping & Logistics
India pays massive money to foreign shipping companies.

A stronger Indian shipping ecosystem is a hidden strategic necessity.

🪑 14. Premium Furniture
Many urban consumers buy imported modular furniture.
Indian woodworking & engineered furniture industry has huge potential.

💡 Biggest hidden truth:

India doesn’t only import products.
India imports:
- branding
- technology
- trust
- design
- ecosystems

The real victory is when Indian products become globally trusted.

I’m planning to buy the TCL C8K 85-inch TV. How is TCL’s after-sales service? Has anyone dealt with TCL service centers after receiving a faulty product or facing panel issues?

I’d really appreciate honest experiences regarding warranty claims, replacement process, technician support, and overall customer service.

Bought a Daikin Split AC 1.5TR FTKM 5-star in 2025.
Worked perfectly in first season. This summer it runs fine but the room doesn’t cool down to what the unit shows.

I normally keep it at 28°C and it used to work fine. This season even when it shows 24°C on the display, the room doesn’t feel anywhere close to that temperature.

Service technician visited, said there’s no leakage and just a service was required. Did the service in under 10 minutes without opening anything — and the problem is exactly the same after.

Has anyone faced this? What was the actual cause in your case?

Guide me guys.

Need help deciding between the two sizes.

Getting the 65" one for 53k INR and 75" for 78-79k INR.

3 years Extended warranty of around 8k INR each on top of these prices. So 65" becomes 53+8=61k and 75" becomes 78+8=86-87k.

As per a TCL rep, the 65" variant has 242 dimming zones and the 75" variant has 312 dimming zones.

No budget constraints. Was actually looking for an OLED so have my budget set accordingly.

Looking to purchase one of the above. Can anyone shine light on which one is better in terms of picture quality, colors, and experience.
