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.

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 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.

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,

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.

This TV has a great picture. Sound, brightness and seems to be a good quality tv

I hung this on the wall in my backyard to use as my outdoor TV. It’s much brighter of a screen than I imagined it could and has no problem being bright enough during a sunny day. I’m going to get this exact tv for my office next. TCL has come a really long way!

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 very easy to navigate with its Google TV home screens. The remote and app services are very ideal as well. The affordability with quality is the best I have had by far. You cannot beat this TV for the price you pay. Highly recommend if you are looking for top picture quality but don’t want to spend a high price.

At first I was a little hesitant to purchase this tv for my son who is a huge Gamer and YouTuber, but he really loves his Christmas gift, and talks about the clarity and sound ,when gaming is awesome! I highly recommend this tv, for picture quality and sound. One of the best investments I’ve made!

Setup was very easy, the colors on the screen are so vibrant, and the sound quality is crystal clear.

Bought to use as a computer monitor a few months ago. Works great. The local dimming led backlight is a huge improvement over my last setup with global dimming. You can have white pages next to dark and they both display great. I don't do any photo editing or graphic design so I don't care about and can't speak to color accuracy, etc. I don't game on it so I can't speak to the refresh rate. I think it's 60 Hz at 4k which is good enough for me. I primary do 3D modeling, coding, writing reports. I love being able to get a bunch of code up at the same time. Or work in Inventor on models or huge assemblies and be able to perform operations with less zooming around.

Love it amazing tv gaming was amazing on it would recommend

Very easy to set up and use. Picture quality is great.

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.

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.

I purchased this TV on Christmas Eve on sale. I couldnt be happier. The picture quality is great, love Google TV, even the sound is pretty good. The mini leds look almost as good as the OLED tv in my family room. Just go buy it.
