Verdict
Customer experiences with TCL Australia are broadly divided between positive encounters with customer support and frustration regarding product reliability. While many consumers praise the responsive and patient assistance provided by support agents during warranty claims and technical troubleshooting, others report persistent software glitches, remote delays, and lengthy delays during the repair process. Overall sentiment leans positive for after-sales service, though hardware and software consistency remain points of concern for a minority of buyers.
Miles served me on the telephone this morning. Miles you were so kind and helpful and so understanding and you helped me in more than just my purchase. I wish the world had more people like yourself in it. Thank you I believed you really cared about me. This is for your boss double her pay she is worth keeping so make it worth her future. You are 1000000% go girl go. Grahame Mills Show details
Rubbish TV’s. I made the mistake of buying two. They both have software issues and one of them had vibration issues with deep notes. They partially fixed this by removing a component?
Worst customer service ever. After going backwards and forwards for two weeks with theses people I'm fed up. Two TVs, both sluggish from day one, but just try to get them to make good on their warranty! Even after doing all the dirty work for them and being compelled to send videos as proof, they still don't provide customer service. Do not buy anything from TCL if customer service means anything to you! Show details

I am a satisfied customer of my tcl tv and thank you for the tcl technician video call to get my tv up and running again Show details · 1
Never again TV has crapped itself after not even 4 years. Out of warranty, 75 inch flickers randomly on all channels, video games, streaming waste of money! Show details
Today I spoke with Jesse, a TCL technician regarding a small problem with my near new television which I am extremely happy with so far. The problem was with the program guide, whereby the date would change and all information regarding channels would disappear. Jesse talked me through the problem and we fixed it so I would recommend this Company and their back up technical support as well. Well done TCL. Show reply

months later fault persists despite numerous communication via telephone email and SMS. They appear not to understand what the problem is requesting videos of the fault. I keep telling them it's impossible to do that unless I sit all day every day with my phone trained on the tv waiting for it to turn itself off again. Theybeaskedvforva photo of the white sticker on the back of the TV which has the serial number despite already having this information in an email sent two days earlier. Warranty services are hopeless to the point of being useless.

Unfortunately my new TCL C6L encountered an issue which resulted in a complete breakdown. I contacted the TCL help line, and gave them the required information. They were most helpful and that same afternoon I was able to either obtain a store refund or a new unit. As I was quite happy with my google TV I chose the same replacement model.

What load of crap the worst tv I have ever bought from the remote where you can't even see the controls the colour is terrible you have to be directly in front otherwise it's all white please don't buy this nightmare
Purchased an 85in TCL TV 18 months ago. Just went through the warranty process as the screen went black. Sent numerous pictures and videos, took 8 days to establish that the TV is no good. Multiple emails back & forth and phone calls to get to this point. They refuse to send a technician out. Now they want to replace the TV with a newer model and… Read more
expect me to wait up to a further 12 days, of course, I have to incur the cost of removal of the old TV from the wall and installing the new one. We have had 2 x Samsung TVs for the last 20 years with not one issue. I am pushing for a full refund and going back to a Samsung, I thought I saved money buy going with a cheaper brand, but it will cost me more in the long run, in money and grief, huge mistake buying this brand, very ordinary service from a warranty point of view and low quality product. Bought this size TV for the footy, wouldnt you know it finals start this week! Never buying a product from this brand again. Do yourself a favour and spend a little more and get a reputable brand.

Not satisfied with the product or service provided, do not recommend getting a TCL if you expect quality or support. Our tv had a major failure after 3.5 years with very basic usage by my elderly mother. No streaming. No gaming. Basic settings. Other TVs have lasted 8-10 years without issue. We thought we were upgrading. Should have kept our old… Read more
one.
After calling, they requested details to be sent via email. However service could not find my emails and did not acknowledge the SMS replies either, I had to follow up several times for any acknowledgement.
They then dismissed the claim and cited a range of reasons this TV might fail so soon, and because of all those factors (none of which apply), they would refuse a repair.
