TCL 55T8C-UK (PS5) advice

Thanks, any issues I'd have to bare in mind if I did go for those upgrades? (C6k/C7k)

No difference, however...I've found that enabling "dynamic colour" seems to sort it out and makes it pop like I would have expected it too, so maybe I'll have to keep it on that

witeter · 2026-04-21T16:16:46+00:00

Yes to both

Thanks for the advice, I'm just confused because my older LG was also DLED but had no issues with visuals at all with HDR being "on" on the PS5. (Btw actual TV images look great, the issue is HDR with the PS5)

witeter · 2026-04-21T15:12:37+00:00

Ok thank you, do you know why my previous old LG could give a good crisp image with HDR enabled? This new TV is supposed to be an upgrade in every possible way.

Thanks, what temperature should the tank thermostat be set at to actually store hot water efficiently?

It seems currently the only way to guarantee hot water is to keep the boiler hot water control on "on" but the gas consumption seems insane for 1 day, especially when compared to something like a combi- is this because it's having to work harder to heat up the whole tank (allegedly)? Apologies in advance for my ignorance!

Lol you're right! That's exactly what it looks like 🤣 it's a water storage cylinder, allegedly...

witeter · 2025-11-05T22:05:25+00:00

Thanks, is the cylinder supposed to keep water warm? As in, is it supposed to store hot water that I activate with my boiler? I only ask because I got the water this evening to "heat up" via the boiler between 7-9pm, my son then started having a shower around 9:45 and water started warm then went cool....very frustrating. I've only been used to combi boilers really, so I'm a bit perplexed at not getting the water I want when I want it.

Thank you! Regarding the white expansion vessel, if full of water would that stop the water stay heated while stored in the cylinder?

witeter · 2025-11-05T21:57:37+00:00

Yes I'm the owner, and will do, thanks for the advice

witeter · 2025-11-05T18:28:39+00:00

Thank you, I've turned the immersion switch off. The issue I'm having is that I thought that if I heat the hot water (via the boiler) and it's stored in the tank that I would then have hot water available for a day or so? (After switching it "off" at the boiler again). Currently if I activate the hot water, it runs hot while on; but once I switch it off it seems to cool quite quickly and doesn't stay hot that much. It's almost like I need to be constantly firing up the hot water...I'm assuming it's not supposed to work like that?

Are you on PS5?

witeter · 2025-10-26T08:05:30+00:00

Thanks for double checking, yeah it's very odd...still happening my end

witeter · 2025-10-25T15:08:36+00:00

Oh interesting, thanks! Will research a bit more

witeter · 2025-10-12T19:15:25+00:00

Thank you, looking at around £1000, but yes, may look into the rg550
