Re: TCL R635 PS5 1440p VRR pink lines

Jump to solution

Be advised this isn't just an issue when connected to PS5...I'm connected to a PC. This issue is related to VRR and fluctuation in frame rate not being handled properly by VRR resulting in pink horizontal lines and occasional flickering on the panel.

 

Thank you

Also happens on Xbox as well. Definitely not a PS5 only issue.

Just pointing out this has been a known issue for over 5 months. https://www.reddit.com/r/tcltvs/comments/xvocpl/tcl_55r35_got_around_to_trying_vrr120hz_and/?utm_sou...

It’s clear you either don’t know how to fix it or don’t care. This tv cannot properly do what it’s advertised to do. I also love how the word “l a w s u i t” is not permitted to be used on the forum lol.

@mrwarcriminal I did the same update and oddly enough it seems to make the pink lines go away when I enable VRR. Sometimes, not always. BUT when using VRR it now introduces black flashes every 15-30 seconds. Lose/lose situation with this tv. Absolutely maddening.

Just got a PS5 over the weekend and experienced this nightmare of an issue. After spending multiple hours swapping cables out, changing inputs and thinking there was something wrong with the PS5 I found a workaround online. If you disable VRR and ALLM on the PS5 and change your brightness to something other than "Game Mode" on the input it disables game mode and the pink line will go away. I am not really sure what VRR or ALLM does but I haven't noticed any difference in the games I play (God of War, Last of Us) but I hope this helps someone to avoid spending hours trying to fix their TV. I hope it is fixed soon as (upcoming update) could mean months from now. Until then at least this lets you play without the line.

When is the update planned? Because I called TCL support today and they said there are no updates planned for this TV model.

@Tedeschman Not having the tv in game mode introduces upwards of 100ms of input lag. Not really a fix. There won’t be an update to address this. This tv is now 2 years old. The customer service reps here are just providing lip service. Who you spoke to in the phone is correct, there are no updates planned. Expensive lesson learned for a lot of us unfortunately. Avoid tcl/roku TVs. They don’t stand behind their advertised specs.
