TCL R646 Google TV Optimization tips?

by gordonyu

Hey, just got the TCL R646, and the Google OS is quite slow and buggy. Picture colors and aspect ratios seem subpar.

Anyone have a link suggesting optimizations to the Google OS?

How are the black levels on that tv and any blooming?

Go to settings, apps, scroll and find the play store, scroll to the top right and select manage apps, you'll probably have 10-13 app updates. One of them will be Google tv and another will be TCL home. Once all the updates have finished I would reboot and you should be good!

Can’t even use HBO Max. I get in the app but any time I try to play something it just says “oops! Something went wrong. Please restart the app.” And every time I do - same issue. Piece of crap GoogleTV OS being rushed out.
