In box: TV, stand, 2 remotes, user manual, AAA batteries, A/V to 3.5 mm.
Connectivity options are all on side: 3 HDMI (1 ARC), 2 USB (one 3.0), 3.5mm port for audio out, Digital optical output.
Delivery & Installation: Flipkart as promised delivered TV in 48 hours and in next 48 hours wall installation was done. Installation guys were well behaved and best at their job. In my case the wall mount was not included in the box and was given by the TCL people who came from installation.
Brief Summary: I have been looking for a 55/65" TV for quite some time but never wanted to buy any entry level from any brand neither wanted to look for top of the line from Samsung/LG/Sony. I was eyeing TCL P2MUS, which was listed for 80k and several others below 1 lakh and this one is was the choice after considering all online & offline store options. Personal experience, walking into the store, they would not promote TCL, not sure why but I had a side by side comparison with Panasonic, LG IPS & OLED, SONY TV's and surely they had a better black levels but the price is asked is something which does not justify the difference in picture quality. With side by side comparison at Reliance Digital, Croma and few other I was sure to buy LG 4k 65 inch for 1.4 lakh but was not able to convince myself on the amount I was about to spend.
I finally went for TCL L65C2US and I am glad I did cause when you run the TV out of the box, it gives punchy picture with no much need to make much changes to the settings. No dead pixels found out of the box. Just remember this TV is very sleek and needs to be handled with care if on regular TV stand, I would recommend it to be wall mounted to be on the safe side.
Picture Quality: This is still the most important thing for me when buying a TV and overrides any feature that any TV brand has to provide. I will never trade off picture quality for additional features and in all the previous reviews I see everyone focuses on android UI & performance and not much mentioning on the picture quality. I still believe, sound, android UI and any other feature can be optimized with additional accessory added to TV in future but something that you would not be able to change is the picture quality. The panel used in TCL L65C2US is VA (vertical alignment) and the screen is super sleek and would look like one of the most expensive ones. Minimum bezels give it a classy look and playing 4k videos is a pleasure to watch, even HD channels are up scaled and looks much better than actual 1080p videos. Anything 1080p or above, you will have a smile on your face. Picture is vibrant, vivid and very good balance of BGR. Brightness, contrast, 60F/sec refresh rate gives life like videos and watching sports or action movies is a great experience and you will not regret the money spent. HDR pro (TCL?s in-house) does its job very well and you will not believe your eyes for the picture quality you would see.
Sound: Harmon Kardon has put in their best engineered sound bar and for such a sleek TV, it is designed perfect. Sound is great and clarity is amazing. It doesn?t distort at high volume, but surely highs (Treble) might be piercing. Base is equally good and the overall surround sound affect is amazing. My living room is 16*14 feet and it fills the sound good enough at 20-25 out of 100 and very much audible from any corner of the room.
Android Marshmallow UI: 16GB internal storage might fall short if you are into gaming/ 2.5 GB RAM should be enough to run anything and Asphalt 8 as a benchmark was smooth on ii. The android UI is smooth, the TV was up-to-date out of the box. All features works as expected including Bluetooth, WiFi, TCL Cast, Google Chrome Cast. Although it is google certified TV with TV OS, you might not have all the apps available as you see on your phone in Google Play Store. You can always side load apps by downloading from any APK website and install it using ES File Explorer (Free). Netflix should work fine, I don?t have the subscription, I usually download movies and still believe to watch it offline. Amazon has not partnered with Google so Amazon Prime will not work, so don?t give it a try. For Amazon prime get Amazon Fire Stick (Amazon?s intention) and not TCL fault. Usually I watch all the movies before it comes to Netflix or Amazon, don?t have time to watch series, but people who follow TV series/ movies on Netflix would enjoy the amazing HDR effect.
Remote: 2 Remotes, one is the conventional big one, other one is dedicated for Netflix, Air Mouse, Volume, Program and Google voice assistant. Google voice assistant is super cool and makes it really easy to get the job done, I am sure you all by now know how it works and will enjoy the feature if haven?t used in past.
I have my Mac Mini plugged into it and watch movies which is coupled with Onkyo NR-636 with 7.1 Kenwood speakers system (2 tower speakers, 1 Bic America 12 inch 475 watt powered sub-woofer) which makes the experience much richer.

Its been about 3 weeks iv bn watching the tv. More or less everything about it is great, even the sound. There is a little issue tho... it does not show USB ports under Input Source. U hv to detach n reconnect the usb device everytime u want to access it. (Any advice here?) Secondly, as with most Android tvs I guess, it takes 50 seconds to start... that is pure frustrating.

Excellent tv.
There is an issue in playing tata sky recorded videos as sound is breaking. When connected external speakers the sync is not happening between tv speakers and external speakers.

One part of the stand was missing so you could not set it up on the table and there was no stand for wall mounting either.

I am not recommended to buy tcl TV's especially from flipkart because they are not authorized resellers.
I purchased this TV from flipkart on 9th November 2017.
I got defective product and they replaced with again with defective product, still I am fighting TCL team.
I am facing sound issues, HDMI Port 1 and over luminous spots behind screen.
My humble request is please don't buy TCL product,
service support too worst and very dilay.
