I own 3 TCL TVs bought 5 years apart. This is my 4th. All work flawlessly. I got this 50" TCL QM5K TV on sale for a great price. It appears to be a Best Buy exclusive. I use this as a computer monitor and a TV in my office. With a little tweaking it has crystal clear text and images as a monitor. I tried using a TCL 4 series as a monitor. Excellent budget TV but as a monitor -NOPE, ghosted text and just not precise enough. This TV is a work horse. Great gaming monitor but you are limited to 60fps because of the refresh rate. The compromises over the larger QM series are fewer dimming zones, a slightly less powerful image processor and a 60hz panel. I think because of this standard definition processing is a little 'blotchy' but imminently watchable, depending on the source but with higher resolution in HD and UHD the picture is what you'd want from a QLED TV. Blac levels are black. No blooming. See the dandelion photo. It has a very low glare screen. Minimal reflections. Picture is bright even in a sunlit room. The sound is actually quite good for a TV. No bass of course. The images I included are very close to the actual display. Yours may vary. Additionally, I'm a ROKU fan but the built in Google interface is admittedly very good; very snappy. I had an extra ROKU stick that has all my logons and preferences already installed or I would use the the Google interface. I also hope all Best Buy staff are as responsive as this store. I wanted this TV but was sold out at the time. I went back a couple days later and they had two just come in still in plastic wrap buried in a 'Jenga' looking palette. The sales person politely said, "I can't sell you those yet". I asked to speak to a manager and explained I am here to buy this TV not just look. At first he also said couldn't do it - not yet in inventory. I explained but if I wait they could be sold when I come back later. He said hang on a minute and left to check if they were reserved for online orders. They were not. Rather than pass up the sale the manager deviated a bit from their usual process and carefully removed the TV from the stack, logged it into inventory on the spot and said get your vehicle and we'll have it for you out front. Outstanding customer service! I knew they could have stuck with their rules but instead they made the sale. Thank you to that manager and thanks to Best Buy. Also, this isn't the first time staff at my local Best Buy have worked with me to do what they could to make a sale I was happy with or offer an unsolicited suggestion that saved me money and lowered their profit but increased my loyalty. I'll always check with Besy Buy before looking online. They are often higher on little things but usually match online prices with big ticket items. And easy returns. That instant response to the customer is lost if we lose our 'brick and mortar' stores.

After the setup of the TCL 50" QM5K TV, ran into slight minor issues that were definitely solveable such as artifacts and some pixelation on the picture quality display. User interface speed has some lag on powerup, but was manageable by waiting a few seconds + by disabling some apps you won't use. Intelligent picture setting isn't good on default settings, but once you set the brightness to 50 and to "Brightness+", the picture is amazing! With that all said, picture and audio is crystal clear! Remote is simple and user friendly but doesn't have a dedicated forward-pause-rewind button. This is an amazing budget option I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for more value in their TV choices.

If you need a gaming tv and are okay with 60fps this is THE TV to get at this price point. Absolutely STUNNING quality, and the lag input isn’t terrible. It performs very similar to my basic 1080p gaming monitor. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TV FOR BUDGET SET UPS. Unfortunately the speakers aren’t great so if you want better quality a speaker system will be needed for an upgrade. I’ll probably eventually upgrade from this unit when the PS6 releases but this is perfect for PS5/Xbox Series/Switch2. If you want better frame rate you’ll have to purchase the larger sizes of this tv model but it is worth it for the price point. I got this unit when it was on sale for $299
