There have been a few recent reviews of the TCL C845 Mini-LED TV by a number of on-line reviewers, and potential users should be aware of the new and unique 3D LUT calibration capability via ColourSpace of these TVs that the reviewers have overlooked.

Direct emails with the ColourSpace integration info have been sent to the various reviewers, but only one responded, from What HiFi, Australia.
(Contact details for TCL can also be provided for direct information, rather than just our own info.)

It is interesting that many reviewers choose to ignore useful information that would assist their readers...
(Seems to be associated with corporate sponsorship...)

Hi Steve,

I think you've been watching what I've been doing. I was just looking at reviews and videos on the QM8 and c845 and come here and you've just posted this. Could you share any calibration reports on your testing of theses during your intergration work. Providing it was the c845 you were testing.

Thanks.

Aaron.

The TV we have here is a pre-release model, and not a suitable example of the actual end-user TVs.
(It's a actually a totally unique TCL model that no-one else has...)

Steve

No worries Steve. Thanks for replying.

I tried to point out this info on AVforums, in the discussions on their C845 review - post removed, and banned as a user...
What's with these reviewers.
I was just pointing out what has been said here, and on a number of Steve's social media posts.

Ah - yes. Have had issues myself.
Made a GDPR Right To Erasure request to have all my posts removed from there.
Just could not understand their attitude to banning 'useful information' posts.

Steve

Is the QM8 one of the TV's that has 3d lut capability currently?

Please see: https://www.lightillusion.com/tcl_manual.html
The 3D LUT capable TCL TVs are listed there.

Steve

OK so none of the American models currently have the 3d lut functionality. I know the models are close in performance and the QM8 I believe is specific to the Americas. Wasnt sure if that was included within the "Associated TCL Models".

Ah - no.
I know for certain that no Roku models have 3D LUT capability.
And the 'associated models' really means those associated with the C845, as per the link.

Steve

Thank you for the clarification. Would be awesome to get some of this capability in the USA.

That really just needs pressure put onto TCL USA.
Feel free to get them to look at the link above.
It would be very simple to add the capability.

Steve

I have put in a request through TCL USA and hope that they can connect me to someone with some authority to talk on this subject.

Any luck moving this forward with USA TCL models?

Unfortunately, nothing to do with Light Illusion.
You would need to ask TCL.
