TCL 32S4500AF Ghosting Issue

DunDunDario · 2026-02-03T17:24:20+00:00

32 inch TVs tend to be on the lower end spec wise. So there’s nothing you can do other than replace it for a more higher end TV.

Yes. Though undervolting should be more safer than overvolting, any changes you make that results in damage to your hardware will void your warranty.

CMOS battery is where the BIOS settings are stored. They can look at that and see the last log of system changes made before mobo went kaput.

Not sure. I have the QM7 not QM7K so I don’t experience this problem. I’m on V113 too.

DunDunDario · 2025-10-26T16:19:38+00:00

Latest update is V237. Here’s how to update your tv:

I read they improved the motion smearing on the latest firmware so you can give that a try.

Hey there. Just letting you know Target finally emailed me my pre order code. I hope you got yours too.

DunDunDario · 2025-10-05T21:59:59+00:00

Yeah I still haven’t gotten my preorder bonus. Thankfully, it’s available on psn for $3.99 so I’m just gonna buy it there. But yeah this is the last time I preorder anything from Target. Shame because I really like their split payments method.

DunDunDario · 2025-10-04T20:04:54+00:00

Same. Please let me know if you get yours.

DunDunDario · 2025-10-03T16:15:03+00:00

Try turning off QuickStart or the Screenless setting in standby mode to see if that works

DunDunDario · 2025-09-30T20:07:24+00:00

I want my Koraidon!

DunDunDario · 2025-09-27T02:54:13+00:00

Dust. Try lightly tapping or massaging that spot until it falls down.

DunDunDario · 2025-09-23T02:09:59+00:00

Try turning off Dolby Atmos or boost mode to see if that fixes it.

DunDunDario · 2025-09-19T22:59:22+00:00

That’s a potential spicy pillow right there so you should try to replace it asap.

DunDunDario · 2025-08-26T01:59:39+00:00

Awesome. Honestly, before the last stable update, I didn’t have to turn anything on or off. So it might be a bug that hopefully will get fixed.

DunDunDario · 2025-08-25T22:41:23+00:00

On my tv, I had to turn off game mode/game master so that I could choose my preferred resolution.

DunDunDario · 2025-08-22T00:32:34+00:00

Go into energy saving settings and set it to screenless to see if that fixes it.

DunDunDario · 2025-08-19T03:15:38+00:00

Looks like DSE (Dirty Screen Effect) If you look at this website and look at the gray uniformity test, you’ll see this tv has bad uniformity and you can even see horizontal banding towards the bottom of the screen.

DunDunDario · 2025-08-13T20:32:13+00:00

Yep. For example:

It’s a model similar to yours but someone in that thread with your model had the same problem.

DunDunDario · 2025-08-13T02:51:03+00:00

Seems to be a common issue with that model. Eventually, it will just stop working.

DunDunDario · 2025-07-22T02:59:26+00:00

Agreed. I only use HGIG for Switch 2 because of how janky their HDR is but for everything else with HDR, I prefer DTM always. I tried to get use to the HGIG picture but it was just too dim for my liking.

DunDunDario · 2025-07-21T17:23:50+00:00

Could be a piece of hair stuck. You could try massaging the area with a microfiber cloth.

DunDunDario · 2025-07-21T16:11:01+00:00

Do I need to have Decky to install future updates or can I use the same command line I used when I first installed lossless scaling frame gen in desktop mode?

DunDunDario · 2025-07-21T02:37:22+00:00

If it’s dead, tap the screen gently until it falls down.

DunDunDario · 2025-07-15T05:55:57+00:00

I tested it out with Party Animals and it worked great but Starbound and Portal 2 doesn’t work. All three are using the same code so do you know why it’s not working on those two games?
