HTPC all the way... served me well over many years. I think my current mini HTPC is now 7 years old and still works fine as kind, And it does get updates too as it runs linux.

I don't use them, they always seem buggy compared to what I get with external stick. Was trying to explain to Sam, that it looks like on some of these tvs, you might need to go online the first time you set it up, but after that you can just use your tv antennae to pick up local channels, without being online. Can't deal with amazon products, they have way too many restrictions for a device that a body bought and paid for. But if you don't use their crap apps n such it should be ok.

this TV in fact are stick..such any 20$ one... only they put in circuit beside Amlogic SoC GPU HDMI -LVDS inverter to turn on large screen.. this circuit universal can buy on aliexpress under 15$
i own 3 amlogic Soc devices S805 - S905X - S905D

Indeed, I'm use to using the externals, the ones built into the tv seem to be more prone to messing up and there always seems to be some deal that was broken by one side or the other company and this or that app no longer works. Then the sorry company that sold the tv kills ALL the apps off after 3 years or so, what a effin headache.

If there is a spi flash with a panel identifier on the buffer board, then it could be re-registered when turned on and change the parameters in the settings.

[Diah]

Yep, the 55" and the 65" use the same main board. They have the exact same part number and works perfectly fine. Didn't have to do anything much besides relearning the remote..

[Diah]

Thanks to everyone contributing! Well, this is my newest and biggest TV now. Never had a TV that big.
Before I forget it: the 55" and 65" TCL uses the same main board and I haven't to do anything to make the 55" main board to the 65" screen.

but the info on the photo you upload it say 65 , i remember you bought 55 mainboards !

but you can now read the version on the replacement... let see which firmware it had

Here you go!

[Diah]

I don't know which version the original board was.

[CapLeaker]

Actually any smart tv that isnt hooked to internet is dumb tv, you can disable or delete some if not all apps they come with easily, so as long as not online no problem if thats what someone wants. Bonus side effect is the eMMC will last much longer since it doesnt have to work so hard.

I hardly use the smart chit on the TV.

[CapLeaker]

What about the version of the firmware that is on the replacement board that you got is the same version

I don't know which version the original board was. All I saw was update available and it went on from there. So I cannot pinpoint and say version x.xx is bad.
