Did you enable it from your PC? Select your TV as the audio output device.

P2 UHD 43inch. I don't know what's up with the TV but playing a movies off the torrent which are encoded at 1920x800, using software decoder the video scales perfectly as "fit horizontal' does what it's expected. But using software decoded like we all know tax the system a lot and lags sometimes, so best choice is to use hardware decoder. Issue I'm having hardware decoder is that it completely filled the screen and ignored 'fit to horizontal'.

It's been bugging me for past few days and haven't found any work around. I have Kodi 15v on it which managed to play in software decoder mode and doesn't lag whereas all the other plays, software decoder lagged. The strange thing is on Kodi 17, the software decoders runs horribly.

Only if I'm able to find a hardware decoder which a fully functional fit to horizontal or proper aspect ratio [forgot to add, hardware decoder completely ignore aspect ratio while software decoder does it correctly], will my mind be in peace.


What are the differences between the TCL C2 and P2 series? Considering getting a 49inch one.
I just got the P2 series albeit 43 inch. AFAIK C2 panels come with front direction speaker with brand Harmon Kardon, "Smart TV" with builtin support for Chromecast and seem to be more feature full. The one on P2 has some other type of screen mirroring which doesn't really work out of the box which I had assumed. HDR support on P2 is only on USB whereas on C2 it's on HDMI & USB. Those are biggest difference I've looked at.

Before buying one and wish some had told me this before, take a USB with 1080p movie, 4k content, and solid color images off the internet to look for dead pixels.

Thanks. So C2 is the better model (on paper at least).

so i went to metro islamabad today and saw c2 on display i have to admit its blacks were super awsome samsung ku7000 cant even dare to compete it in terms of black and viewing angles,speaker too were awsome as expected but there were flaws too like screen mirroring wasnt working even with mobile after i left metro tht guy called and said that he restarted tv and it start working which was weird because i tried mirroring on both of its 49 and 65inch variants....i saw optical cable port but weird thing was tht above the optical port there was written spdif.......i saw 4k content and it was awsome whites were very good but a little less thn ku7000 there wasnt any kind of clouding or led light bleeding which was very amazing os was working smoth 1 thing i wasnt able to check was how well its upscaling is which i think wouldnt be anywhere near samsung as i think samsung is far superior in upscaling tech.....another deal breaking thing specially for me was that the person said i cant mirror my laptop to c2 as it doesn tsupport it which was very shocking.........now i,ll wait for 55inch variant and in mean time i,ll contact tcl too for some queries......overall picture quality on c2 was awsome i mean i was amazed with level of microdimming it offered even with the edgelit tech......one flaw which was severe or i thought it was was in c1 that i saw bluish tint in every color of c1 which wasnt the case with the c2.....ohh yes 1 thing i forgot to mention c2 again doesnt support most comon video formats which i easily played on ku7000

Yup with a significantly higher price tag. Better option in price of getting far higher bang for the bank is to go for P2 and get yourself a Mi Box.
sorry to disagree but i think thats a wrong suggestion as i saw c2 today and it really worth its price all you can do is wait a little more for prices to go down or u shoud have purchased it on pre order sale....trust me c2 is far superior thn p2....if u dont beleive me u can visit and compare these two urself as now c2 is available on display centers...i played hdr adn 4k content and it detected hdr when played through harddisk i was unable to check 4k and hdr through any other means as i dint have any

P2 has HDR as well via USB and supports 10bit video input. The panels are the same, the difference lies in the 'smart tv' box builtin and newer speaker design. For those new features, you will be paying 30k extra when a Mi Box superior in every sense comes at 7k,

tht support of hdr via usb is also present in c1 plus the chnges in c2 are major and not minor 1 over p2 othr thn that you can visit display center you will chng your min on your own thn c2 have harmon kardon speakers integrated p2 cannot compete with it....only good sound bar will cost you any where between 20 to 40 k infact not good but average one

i seek to buy good monitor
have budget of 0 pkr to 30,000 pkr
i use pc for gaming 80% of use is gaming 20% is browsing
i dont want built in speakers on monitor (i use headphones)

i seek monitor that is easy on eyes , currently using some samsung led tc as monitor , which is eye killer

a firend of mine suggested this LCD & LED Monitors - Asus VX239H 23-inch Widescreen IPS Monitor - Black in Pakistan for Rs.18600.00 | Computer Zone

i dont care much about resolution and stuff , my main concern is eye strain of prolong use , i miss crt monitors :C​

so it appears that c2 doesnt have miracast or widi(obsolete) rather it works through chromecast that would require active internet connection and which i dont consider as screen mirroring its more like remote control because you,ll need internet connection and it basically uses tvs app too to display content for eg youtube so its a big no for me....all my waiting gone in vain...i think i,ll buy ku7000 again...i liked c2 because of its awsome blacks,true smart remote,bluetooth...i,ll give it a 1 more try i,ll go to metro islamabad again to check if it can mirror laptop and if it works same like ku7000 screen mirroring thn i,ll buy it otherwise i,ll have to leave it....
