Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought formy wife, for better viewing and navigation experience...so far, she loves the quality of pitcture, ease if access via smart phone, and overall loves it!!!

Love the television. Easy Setup Easy Remote Nice Color Nice Picture Sound could be better so we will need to buy a soundbar.

Amazing picture for the price. So good I bought 2. Easy to set up, great features. Google tv is responsive and easy to set up and use.

Great color & backlight is perfect for a brighter room. Controller is feels like quality materials and user friendly.

This is a great TV, the colors and the full array dimming make this a great TV for the bedroom. Very good picture and the color is very good. The downsides are the off-center viewing angle and the speakers are not the best but for a bedroom tv this model is the best choice in its class!

I've never had enough money to call something that costs 600 or 700 dollars "budget" or "affordable", so I bought this tv. It had the most critical features I was looking for, like local dimming. It's an excellent tv for the price. Probably the best I've ever had.

Really good picture quality compared to other brands at similar price range. There happened to be an open box model of this TCL at the store for just a little bit more than the low cost brand I had in mind, so I went for it. The one thing I'm not too crazy about is the Google integration. This TV was purchased for an older relative and I didn't want to burden them with setting up a Google account. It is possible to set up the TV without having a Goggle account (which I did), but then it gets more complicated to set up. I then dug into the menus and found there are still so many ways that Google can track one's use of the TV even without having a Google account. I turned off or disabled a lot of things in this TV. Now, I'm not anti-Google (I have a Google account), but I feel there is too much complexity introduced to this "smart" TV because of it.

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.

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.

Good picture quality. Very bright. I also installed app with the build in tv box.

I was unfamiliar with TCL TVs, I'm so glad I made the purchase of a 50" Mini LED Smart TV with Google TV. Beautiful picture quality, light weight, awesome easy to navigate user interface.

The television shows a very clear picture. The lighting is good. The sound is clear. When I went to the store, I was unsure as to which brand to buy. The sales representative was very helpful in explaining the differences in each of the makes/models. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Perfect bedroom TV! Mini-led makes the blacks deep and stay deep, qled means the colors are pure and vibrant, and it sounds great! Not the brightest, but this is really meant as a bedroom tv. 10/10!

This TV is easy to use and the picture looks great!

Sharp,clear,easy setup right out of the box...mini led beautiful picture,great price!

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.

I’m extremely impressed with the TCL QM5K. The picture quality is stunning for the price — the colors are vibrant, the contrast is sharp, and the Mini-LED technology really makes a difference, especially in darker scenes. Blacks look deep without losing detail, and bright scenes pop without being overwhelming. The Google TV interface is smooth, easy to navigate, and gives me access to all my favorite streaming apps in one place. Setup was quick and straightforward, and the TV feels responsive when switching apps or inputs. I also love how sleek and modern the design looks. It fits perfectly in my living room and feels much more premium than I expected for the cost. Whether I’m watching movies, sports, or just streaming shows, the viewing experience has been consistently great. Overall, the TCL QM5K delivers high-end performance at a very reasonable price. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality TV without overspending

Tough to beat at this price point. I was in the market for a secondary TV and "settled" on this TCL which had a lot of features not often found in a 50" size. After setting it up, honestly it's pretty amazing. Gets plenty bright and viewing angles are acceptable. Color seems reasonably accurate in Movie mode and the picture quality is great. I was surprised how well HDR content is displayed. The built-in speakers are nothing to write home about, but they're not terrible either. They get loud enough and clarity is fine, just don't expect anything special here. Overall this is a fine TV. When considering price, I would say it is outstanding. Highly recommended.

Bought both TCL QM5K and Hisense QD7 50". TCL QM5K 50" review Highly Recommend as TV Not recommend as PC Monitor (caveat) Usage: TV Colors popped, saturated and realistic. High Contrast. Great menu and controls. 5 stars ***** Usage: PC monitor (3ft from screen). Small text not smooth, even after ClearType adjustment. Solid colors seems to have vertical stripping up close; not obvious from 5ft or more. So if sitting further away or increase text size can be done, these issues might not a problem. VRR up to 60hz (55" and above is 144hz). Conclusion: Returned TCL and kept Hisense QD7 Mini-LED. The TCL has better color, contrast and menu system than the H. But H rendered better text and color is smoother. No obvious stripping from 3ft.

I’m really happy with this TV. It has a great picture especially for the price. I can’t speak to the google tv function as I never activated it. I use an Apple TV box. Surprisingly, the TCL remote works with the Apple TV without programming. Highly recommend.
