Customer Ratings & Reviews

Much brighter than other brands I used in the same location. Sealed back so it appears a better choice for a protected outdoor location. May not be perfect for some bright locations but it was perfect for me. Far superior to vizio.

I researched affordable, well-reviewed 50-inch TVs and the TCL brand and this particular mini-LED model stood out. After a month in with this set, I have no complaints. What's striking about the image quality is the vividness, it seems a level of brightness above anything else I've been used to from other brands. The mini-LED technology is touted to be far more revealing in low-light programs and movies, such as GoT productions which can be murky, shadowy on a lesser set. Overall, pleased so far by this next-gen TCL model (and the Best Buy sale price).

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.

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!

Excellent picture quality, brightness, clarity and ease to set up. Very pleased with the choice made as this was our first purchase of a TCL branded product

Works GREAT! The TCL and Google ap have so much to offer it’s overwhelming! Picture is fantastic! Easily connected to my Denon AVR so sound is outstanding. Only down side- I had to purchase a new remote and get it programmed to control TV, cable box and AVR. Nick (Htgn store) was super helpful and knowledgeable in helping me decide on the TCL and Hayden was great assisting with selecting a remote and advising on its use. No regrets so far! I have seen a “lost connection” to I-net a few times but it seems to resolve itself. The mini led gives a fantastic picture!

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,

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.

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.

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

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.

Very good picture quality, colors are vibrant and blacks are deep, would purchase again!

A Solid budget option, deep blacks, great clarity. Great for someone who is a beginner who wants to get into a mini-led TV at a good price.

I got this as a secondary TV for my office and it has been great over the past month. I bought it open box excellent condition and it looks brand new and it arrived quickly. I use this with an Apple TV 4K so cannot attest to the internal OS. This replaced an old Samsung TV and the brightness is much better without looking washed out. I haven’t even calibrated it since it looked quite good out of the box. This review is for the TCL QMK5 50”.

Very pleased with this new TV. The images are almost too good given the older shows I watch and with new shows, just flat out excellent. The size is perfect for our condo living room -- big enough to easily see but not too big to overwhelm the space. My wife and I enjoy listening to the music stations from TCL when we are doing other things (like working on the computer). My wife is particularly happy it has native Bluetooth for me when I'm watching football. All-in-all, a great buy.

Great Tv for Price. I use in my Bedroom, and have had 3 Samsungs and loved Samsung. Honestly the Brightness of Samsung is better, as these dont seem to have the Nits. My goal was the Full Array Backlight which does make a difference. No Spectrum App like Samsung, but I bought a Fire Cube for Atmos Movies, and it Amazing to watch and listen. Its NOT Oled, but def gets Dark. Its not as Bright as Samsung, but I love this TV. 4.6 Stars!!

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.

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!

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.

Bright and crisp picture. Colors are rich and vivid. The user interface is pretty snappy. Sound is not the greatest, it's not a deal breaker. The price is really sweet, so grab a decent sound bar. TCL hits the spot with this tv.
