QuestionAre these center speakers? What does “main speakers” mean?
Asked 6 years ago by CrusQ.
- Answer Yes it has speakers. The main speaker is the TV speaker as it has multiple speaker output options including Optical, headphone jack, and coaxial. You can use a remote speaker system and leave the TV speakers on off. So I hope that is what you are getting at.

QuestionDoes this TV have a true 120hz panel? Also what is the difference between this and 55" ( Besides the size) and do all of the 5 series have the motion smoothing option
Asked 6 years ago by Ram209.
- Answer This TV is advertised EVERYWHERE (as in there isn't a SINGLE place where this TV is advertised that DOESN'T say that...) as having a simulated 120HZ CMI refresh rate - which means it is NOT effective frame rate and is effectively 60Hz with a simulated 120Hz experience. I can confirm this as my model: TCL 50" 50S525 from less than a month ago is being used as an additional extended Monitor and while my Laptop has a 120Hz refresh rate i can manipulate, this TV ONLY has a 60Hz refresh rate option. There is no option to run it in 120Hz because its just simulating 120Hz on a 60Hz TV. My concern is that there is NO option on the TV itself (Picture setting or anywhere else) or the Roku Mobile App to adjust this - as in turn it off, low, etc. - Since an option for it's adjustment cannot even be found and it is definitely NOT 120Hz EFFECTIVE refresh rate (as someone in the support section said it was - they are wrong) I'd like to know if the action smoothing or motion clarity or CMI Index or w/e they want to to call it option that simulates 120Hz is built in (as in not adjustable) or if it even has it - cause the advertising (literally EVERYWHERE, just google the model number and take your pick of ANY result on any store or TCL's own website) says that it's 120 CMI refresh, but its def NOT 120 effective as my laptop can't select anything higher than 60Hz for it...would love some input on if its built in, or was the option to adjust taken away like the Sharpness as Monitors being grayed out

QuestionIs the Roku tuner in the unit a 4k tuner or is the 4K advertised actually upscaling. What level Roku tuner does this have as compared the stand alone Roku tuner models? What is the equivalent tuner when compared to the stand alone version Roku's?
Asked 6 years ago by TC.
- Answer Our current TV tuners are QAM ATSC 1.0 and our 4K TVs will upscale to 4K. Most of the current broadcasts are 480i to 1080i broadcasts with very few stations actually providing 4K. You can check the received signal by pressing the OK button on the remote while viewing a TV channel. It would be best to contact Roku for the details on their Roku boxes. Hope this helps!

QuestionHow is it for upscaling 1080P? I tried inexpensive Samsung & Vizio 4Ks, they did a terrible job so I ended up with a TCL 1080P for the bedroom and I love it. I watch mostly cable TV, very little 4K streaming, so good upscaling is a priority for me.

- Answer This TCL Roku TV does a great job in upscaling non-4K content. The majority of our customers report a great experience with this TV. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
