A fantastic bargain! Some things to know about....
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, out of the box it has several updates depending on what apps you choose do download. For me between the TV itself and the four apps I selected, the updates took about 15 minutes on an 800Mb/s network. Second, and I'll preface this by stating I own several LG and Samsung upper tier LEDs including an LG C1 series OLED. This panel is rather bright out of the box to my eyes. I had to turn brightness down to 90%/. Color and contrast settings however are good at default but it will take some calibration to get it up to its capabilities like my other panels. Still I am highly impressed with the picture quality, specifically at this price point. It does a fantastic job of 4K Blu Ray playing as well as lower 1080p programming from Xfinity. As far as quality, it is light and it is definitely not a slim case design. It will protrude with a wall mount. However, on top of an A/V table the downward firing speakers do a surprisingly good job of sound without needing a sound bar. At least for a bedroom TV as this is used. The feet are metal and not plastic so it has a solid footing, and the TV is light enough for a single-pole VESA base stand mount option like a PC monitor. Finally, for those who do not know, this TV is not really made by Pioneer. It is made by TCL in consortium with Best Buy and Amazon and only branded by Pioneer. Warranty is handled through Best Buy. TCL is a proprietary Chinese TV maker, meaning they make all their own components in house for the TVs, and they also make their own LCD panels with a subsidary (China Star Technology). Years ago I had a bad experience with a TCL so I am hoping this one lasts well beyond the 1-year warranty. For $299 however, it's worth the dice toss, but ultimately, Father Time will tell.

Rushed to market, terrible remote
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent picture and above average sound on this PIONEER 50in 4K TV. 4K material is stunning in clarity and color. Note that TV does NOT upscale SD or HD video in any way whatsoever. TV will play MP4, MOV videos and JPG photo files from a USB drive. Navigating the menus is a total pain in the butt. My wife wants me to return it for that reason alone - it's that bad. Changing aspect ratio is a difficult ordeal like trying to solve a video puzzle. It appears totally impossible to change aspect ratio from the videos/images on USB drive. When you plug in a headset or an external analog audio system, it shuts off the internal TV speakers. The remote has far too few buttons. No numbers whatsoever making direct numerical selection of specific over-the-air TV channels impossible. Set has lots of potential but it seems the product was rushed to market with insufficient user testing. FIRMWARE CHANGES are desperately needed. Also needed is a much more user-friendly remote. Three days in, it's a toss up whether we will keep it or not.

Q: QuestionWhile I pay for the HULU app, it seems that in order to access any other "free" apps, I need to establish an Amazon account. I'd prefer not to...not an Amazon fan. Is it absolutely necessary to go through Amazon to access "free apps"? Thanks.
Asked by Rich.
- A:Answer Yes, you need a free Amazon account to download free apps. If you do not want to use the Amazon Fire TV OS, try to hook up a different streaming device into one of the HDMI inputs on the TV.

Q: QuestionHow do you know which brand of 50 inch TV's are better?
Asked by Kathryn.
- A:Answer Get a Tv with full array contrast zones like Tcl 5 series this is your basic budget tv.Blacks look grey in review pics.look at Tcl reviews pics from customers and you'll see the big difference check out some YouTube videos there are some professionals out there that know what they're talking about like our Rtings.com and others that do it for a living testing all TVs. You will get tired of watching but ultimately if you're watching your TV and you want to really enjoy it put in the effort to learn about them there's a good four levels of TVs with a manufacturer and they change every year sometimes on the upper models. There's even best times of the year to purchase a TV cuz the manufacturers want to get rid of their last year's model. I bought $1,000 TV and got it for $450 when Best buy did a special deal with it and I am super happy TCL 6 series 2019 model 65 in
