In fact, you have to press the Settings button, scroll down to Inputs, then select your new input just to change to another input. You’ll use it to mostly control the Google TV software, and TCL is banking on you mostly using that software. The remote looks fine, and it’s pretty basic. Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR There are two leg positions here, which is nice. You’ll simply screw in the legs, plug the TV in, and you should be good to go. Setting the TV up is pretty easy, though you’ll need two people to do it, especially if you have the 65-inch model, like us. Two of the ports support HDMI 2.1, too, so you’ll be able to take advantage of the high refresh rates on offer by new gaming consoles. You’ll get four side-facing HDMI ports, one of which supports eARC. On the back is where you’ll find all the TV’s ports, and there’s a solid selection there. I really appreciate touches like this - things that are often only found on more expensive options. The legs, for example, let you thread cables through them, which avoids having cables dangle at the back of the TV. TCL has made an effort to help you create a cleaner look at your TV. It’s also quite heavy for a TV of this size. The completely bezel-less look seems to mean that the TV is a little thicker than much of the competition. The back of the TV is made from plastic, but it’s not a huge issue given the fact you won’t look at the back all that much.īut there are some downsides to the design though.

It has a nice brushed metal edge around it, with a completely bezel-less display, save for the bezel at the bottom, which is built with the same material.

The TCL 6-Series is designed pretty differently than most other TVs in this price range - and it’s a fair bit more premium.
