Built in apps are broken
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this TV because my TV finally stopped working. The picture is great when using cable. When using the built in apps, the tv began having a line of frozen pixels on the top. When I exited the app, the line would go away. This happened in both Netflix and Hulu. I checked forums online and others experienced the same. Some stated they factory reset the TV and the issue went away for a while but came back. I decided I wasn't going through the hassle after only owning the TV a couple days. Returned the TV and bought from a different manufacturer.

Great value for our money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were looking for a TV on a budget. This TV has everything we were looking for. It was a great find. The picture can be a little bit dark but not enough to make a real difference. That’s probably a personal preference thing too.

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wide color gamut with the Dolby Vision gives the picture a wow effect.With the 120hz motion makes the action scenes smooth and same with sports.This 5 series TCL was released in August 2019. I bought this for $300 on sale and it is awesome.

Not native 120hz like the site suggests
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this because the specs listed a native refresh rate of 120hz. The native refresh rate is only 60hz and the support on the TCL sites explains how it uses enhancements to achieve 120hz. The specs on this site need to be changed, but other than that it’s a great TV for the price.

Happy so far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had for about a month and am happy so far. We had one issue with everything turning grayscale on us, but all good now. The Roku TV is not very good with buffering all the time. Would recommend this TV though.

Makes me choose between Roku and Apple TV device
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my TCL TV, but there is one issue. I can’t easily switch between the built-in Roku functionality and my 4K Apple TV device. It forces me to choose one over the other. I chose Roku, but I wish I didn’t have to.

Great 4K TV for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is excellent and for the price it's a great value for a 4K tv. My only gripe is viewing the TV anywhere but straight on has a washed out look. But otherwise I would definitely recommend this tv!

Good TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really like it, there are only a few times when there seems to be some odd lag or crashing but I think that is more our wifi related than product related.

Good TV, Good Value
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value tv. The only issue I take with it is the unnecessary ads that take up the tv space. I don't like having to see ads while on the homepage of my own purchased tv.
