This is one of the nicest collections to date for The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The case is nice and glossy while the steelbooks have a matte spot glossed finish.

awesome next gen console

So far so good with my launch Series X console. The only issue I ran into was a noisy disc drive on day one the first time I put a game in but that noise went away after a couple minutes and has been running fine and whisper quite since.

Whilst respecting the heritage and retaining the DNA of the franchise, DIRT 5 writes a new chapter in the legacy of DIRT ~ bolder and braver than ever before. New features, new innovations and a fresh approach make DIRT 5 a hub of off-road racing, style and culture, where you can constantly create highlight-reel moments.

fun offroad racing game

This is a pretty fun game and looks awesome with legit 4K visuals and the sound is top notch. It definitely has a learning curve to it if you play on harder difficulties but nothing that is too aggravating.

Been following these TCL 6 series for awhile, and read about some improvements with the 75 inch. I was optimistic enough to try it out for myself. Swing and a miss, unfortunately.
Picture quality is, overall, very good... when it *is* good. Blacks are deep and solid, and color and processing are pretty nice, and I’m picky. BUT, there are instances where this set’s limitations are all too readily apparent. Quality control is still an issue — I don’t have the large vertical bands like a host of users found with the smaller panels, but I do have a fairly obvious DSE. Also, there are spots and dots, corresponding I assume to the dimming zones or LED backlight portion of the panel. Most are faint, but there are a couple I can see in almost all content types (dark, midrange, light, color, etc). And then you can’t unsee it. When these combined issues show up, it can all but ruin the beautiful picture you were just enjoying. I’ve also got a stray diagonal beam of light about 6-8 inches in length coming out of the bottom corner on mine. Gets more distracting the more I’m watching content.
Aside from the picture quality issues, which are disappointing enough, I’ve also found that the Roku system just feels and looks clunky compared to others, whether built in (like Samsung Tizen or LG WebOS), or separate streaming boxes like AppleTV. The TV body sits lower too, so I can’t place a soundbar below it without blocking the signal receiver... and spamming buttons trying to get something to happen on a remote as cheap as the included one is in fact even less fun than it sounds. And my goodness, the legs on this thing are HUGE. It hangs off the front and back of my media stand (which isn’t a fault per se of the TV itself, but be sure to look closely for measurements before trying to set it up). It is nice having a TV with such a large presence in the room, but it’s not pulling its weight enough for my tastes, or my wallet.
So, in all, this wasn’t worth the bargain deal, weighing the pros against the cons. For some people it might, but I don’t want to roll the dice again and again on something like this 75 inch beast. I want a better guarantee of quality in both construction, design, and picture. It was worth a shot, but I’m going to be headed back to the main three brands (LG, Sony, Samsung) for the foreseeable future. Yes, every set/brand has their issues, but more often than not, if you’re a discerning TV or media enthusiast, you will be getting what you pay for. Back to the store it goes.

same thoughts
May 8, 2019
I just wanted to chime in since I have you same exact feelings. I am now on my 4th 75R615, the first had major clouding issues on a black screen, the second had very noticeable vertical banding that during panning shots really affected the picture and the 3rd and 4th ones not have the dark spots you reference (both TV have the spots in the same place, about 1/3 of the way up the screen dead center of the screen). Other than that that like you said the TV puts out a phenomenal picture but the QC is horrendous. As much as I just want to get a good panel, I fear the constant returns are going to flag my account for too many exchanges and I really do not want that happening.
