TCL Google TVs are being withdrawn from Best Buy due to concerns about slow and unreliable software
TCL delivered a further developed rendition of its top-of-the-line 6-Series TV in pre-fall. Besides minor mechanical improvements — the fresher set backings HDMI 2.1 and 4K gaming at 120Hz — the significant distinction was in programming, with the current 6-Series running Google TV rather than the Roku OS that has delivered on large numbers of TCL's most well-known sets in the US.
The business has as of now presented Android TV-fueled TVs abroad, just as a couple of reasonable models in North America, however, the 2021 6-Series was expected to be an exhibit for both TCL equipment and Google programming.

Up until this point, it hasn't worked out that way, and things aren't going just as TCL had arranged. Best Buy, the TCL Google TVs' true US retailer, has quickly removed the two models from its shop postings.
Some early buyers of the 6-Series with Google TV (model R646) have griped about a hazardous, drowsy UI.
I've been surveying a 65-inch model for half a month at this point and keeping in mind that the Google TV landing page seems to perform quite well, it didn't take long for me to see some general gradualness when getting up and going through the settings menu.

My flatmates have announced application crashes and two or three examples where the actual TV has froze and became lethargic. Some web audits notice additional vexing issues that require turning off the TV altogether.
TCL has recently delivered various programming updates pointed toward further developing execution and dependability.

A portion of those progressions seem to have had an effect, and Parks told us in an assertion on Thursday that 'clients will see extensive upgrades in the weeks ahead.'
Best Buy, in any case, has erased both of those gadgets from its retail postings as of this current week. TCL's own site contains a messed-up connection to Best Buy.
Preceding its expulsion, the 65-inch 6-Series I'm trying had a 3.5-star normal survey rating. Numerous analysts praise the board and Mini LED visual quality, however at that point proceed to whine about programming inconveniences.
