Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve had the 50” TCL QM5K Series 4K TV since mid-June, and it’s been a great buy—especially for the price. I picked it up after buying a Nintendo Switch 2 and wanted something that could keep up with better visuals without breaking the bank. With limited space, 50” was my max, and this model delivered the best bang for my buck. The QD-mini LED tech produces vibrant colors and great contrast, and the full-array local dimming adds noticeable depth to the image. I use it mainly for streaming and gaming, and both look excellent. Another standout feature is how well it handles glare—I haven’t had any issues even with bright light in the room. My only caution is that the bezels are ultra-thin, so you’ll want to handle it with care during setup. But overall, this TV punches well above its price point. Highly recommend if you’re looking for premium performance at a mid-range price.

Easy set up, sharp picture, Improvement from my last non smart tv that this is replacing. Once thing I am still trying to match up and fix is the audio and tv are not in sync. I tried the audio delay setting but without success,

A beautiful TV with many options. Very easy to set up and very bright without looking washed out. Colors are vibrant and this TV shines with a 4K Blu-Ray player and a video game console. Video modes are plenty. Cinema mode is worth the price alone as it makes even regular TV look amazing. Gaming mode looks vibrant on both PS5 and Xbox, with both systems showing excellent responsiveness. Menus are well done, but since you can configure so many items, you do get lost until you work with the settings for a bit. Sound is way better than other TV’s of its type. This TV has more range with a little more bass, as compared to other large named TV’s. Sound is clear and not muddy. Have not needed to use my sound bar since installing the TCL. A great product offered by Best Buy.

I bought this because my old tv finally blew some electronics inside and it was cheaper than repairing that tv. The image consistency on this one is terribly frustrating. Some things will look amazing, others will just be terribly washed out and bright. All the default brightness settings are 100%, and even at half that, it still looks weird. I've been fighting with the setting all week and can't seem to find something that works. The 'smart' portion is quite frustrating as well, but that's just personal preference. I watched the screen brighten and dim constantly, while a scene in a movie panned over the top of a pine forest. It struggled to adjust to the dark and green being layered like they were. The reason it still gets 3 stars despite looking so bad at times, is the sale price was excellent, and when it does look good, it looks amazing. Speakers are meh, but I don't think anyone expects them to be amazing.

I was extremely impressed by the quality of image for the cost of this TV. It was well packaged, super light, and easy to mount!

Picture looks great straight on. Blacks look amazing. Only thing wrong with this TV are the viewing angles. Looking at it from side view, the colors wash out

Television was light weight. fit in my car and could bring it home right away. easy to set up and get programed for viewing. remote easy to understand

I recently purchased the TCL 50” TV, and I’m very pleased with my experience so far. The picture quality is impressive for a TV in this price range — sharp 4K resolution, vibrant colors, and decent contrast, especially in well-lit rooms. Overall, this TCL 50” TV offers excellent performance for the price. It’s a great choice for casual viewing, gaming, or as a secondary TV in a bedroom or guest room. Definitely recommended if you’re looking for something affordable without sacrificing too much on quality.

At Best buy we were taken care very well by a sale person with knowledge,we basically told him what we wanted in a TV ,he showed us different models ,and we went with the TCL 50 inch ,were very happy with it ,couple of things took us little things to use on it ,only really complaint we have ,we wish they would put a real Manuel book with it ,like they use to instead of this 3 or 4 page paper ,and wanting us to print off all the Manuel papers just is wrong ,a real Manuel would of answered many of our questions ,but that how is it with all appliances as well ,they just put to save money on printing Manuel ,other that were very happy and would recommend Best Buy and the TCL tv

Was looking for a fairly good tv for the bedroom and stumbled on this , the price is great and the picture is so good in any light condition, which we have heavy sun in the bedroom around 2 pm and we could still see an excellent quality picture , for the price point hands down a great deal and the sound quality was better than expected

Great picture, very bright. I wanted to find a 50inch mini led 4k with 120hz but that doesn’t exist in the 50inch size. This will do for a long while, watching content is perfect. The UI is easy to navigate. I mounted the tv to the wall, the bezels are pretty thin so be careful for fingerprints. Sound quality is downward firing but pretty good. If you’re putting it on a TV stand you or entertainment center it will be much louder.

This was bought for me so I can watch things other than YouTube videos repairing lawnmowers. My husband said this tv is better than he expected. He loves listening to music on it. That’s how good the sound is. He said the sound is as good as the one we have in our living room with a soundbar!! I am beyond happy with everything about it and especially getting it 50% off, amazing buy!!!!

The TV is great, the install went well, no problems. The install tech, Sean, did a great job. I did not like finding out the day before install that there would be an additional $130 fee because the TV was mounted above a fire place!! All the technician had to do was remove the existing TV from the already installed mounting bracket and then place the new TV on the same bracket. No major construction for this job. There was no mention of any additional install charges at time of purchase, there was nothing on the receipt or paper work I received. Best Buy should tell the customer up front that there will be additional charges. The install technician said that this happens all the time and the customers get mad at him because the store failed to inform them of the additional charge. Best Buy should refund the additional charge.

This TV is a great value. It has a very sharp picture, and the Google OS is easy to navigate. The sound is good, but I added a TCL soundbar to make it better. This was a great addition to my family room. I liked it so much that I bought the 75" version for my den.

Works perfectly, no issues. Has some really cool features like custom game mode, connection with Google Home to display photos, and live TV! It took a while to set up when connecting to my account but still didn’t take too long.

Great picture, mine is in my kitchen which is bright and it’s barely a glare from the window or light. Sound is great for the size of the tv, good bass can’t really go past vol 20 without it seeming too loud

Bought this for the bedroom and am very satisfied. Picture is great for the price. The sound isn't great, but that's to be expected. The Google TV experience is decent and pretty snappy, but I can't stand all the bloat and advertising. That's also not surprising.

Great picture for the money. It is alomst as good at my oled tv. Gaming works great switches sound with earc great. I might buy the bigger version for my living room next. Have apple tv hopk up and playstaion. And all the sound comes out my homepods. Everything is perfect so far!

I'm not the most informed consumer of TVs, but for the price this TV seems to be great value (I've had for a month or so now). UI is user friendly with customizable options. Picture seems clear and vibrant to me, though if you really focus you can notice some pixelation which could bother folks. I use it primarily to watch football and sports and it is sufficient for my tastes. Sunday ticket multiview can be a bit lower quality, but full screen games look fine to me. I think this is excellent value for the $300 price tag, especially if it survives for a few years.

Had the 50" for a month. Very happy with the purchase. The quatum dots and mini led work as advertised. Google tv is working flawlessly and was straight forward to set up. Sound quality is okay for talking heads but like any tv I've ever heard,it needs to be upgraded for serious listening. Not a gamer so I can't comment on those features, but if movies and sports are your thing I think you'll be more than happy with this set. Is it going to replace my 65" OLED? No. But do I get little smile every time I watch something and think about the price/performance ratio of this tcl. Absolutely
