Even better than I expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this tv. It was easy to set up, its simple to use, and the quality of picture is astounding for what we paid. I researched and bought it myself without input from my husband and he loves it too. It exceeded my expectations. Totally totally worth it.

Great Picture - horrible remote
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.5 Series TCL does not have the advance remote, unfortunately. And the included remote is IR - so, minus one star. Overall the picture and features is very good for the price. I wanted HDR for the PS4 & streaming movies. Very good overall. Remote is a BIG disappointment. Overall good value.

Great picture and Roku built in
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great picture quality and we love the built in Roku. Apple airplay built in is awesome too. We love that with xfinity and Roku tv we can use the xfinity app to get access to live tv, dvr, and on demand without paying for an extra box.

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. The picture is awesome and I love all of the features available. I’m not really sure about the sound because I bought the compatible sound bar as well and have been using it since day 1. This is a great TV at a very reasonable price.

Awesome TCL TV
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the colors and crisp image on this TCL TV.. Very easy to set up and very easy to use. Love the fact it has Airplay, so that you can be watching something on cellphone and easily mirror it with Airplay to the TCL TV.

Good TV for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will begin by saying I am NOT a video or audio geek. For most of the viewing needs of my family, this works, especially for the price (which is why it's 4 stars versus 3 stars - 3.5 would be about right). It replaced a smaller 4-ish year old 50" Vizio that suddenly died. It is not nearly as clear and sharp as that older Vizio was. C'est la vie. That said, this TV does a good job for us. The wife and kids do love having a Roku TV, too!! It does make it nicer not having two remotes, or buying a universal remote. It does have some shortcoming when it comes to fast-paced action sequences or intense special effects. I recently introduced my young boys to the original three Star Wars movies on Disney+. The fast paced special effects with blasters, light sabers and space dog fighting sequences are a bit blurry and pixelated. My boys don't notice (or care - they LOVE the movies) but it is a bit frustrating. Normal shows seem to be fine. As stated, good TV for the price. OH, and pretty easy to wall mount with the correct mount!

Awesome TV for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been wanting to upgrade to a new 4K tv for awhile and finally got this one. The picture is great, especially with the advanced settings where you can really make the picture how you want it to work. Mainly bought this for 4K Blu Rays and it’s awesome I use an Xbox One X as a 4K player and it’s not the greatest player. The Blu-Ray app has some issues and sound issues as well. The sync for my sound system and the TV is off slightly due to the Xbox Blu Ray app being a bit meh, but I was able to put the TV in Game Mode and that fixed it for the most part. I think the lack of a A/V Delay option on the TV is a disappointment, but that’s more of an Xbox problem and not the TV. Not the biggest fan of Roku that is internally built in, but having the option to use my phone as a remote is a great plus Pick it up, it’s great!

Excellent picture for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 5 series is a step up from 4 series and delivers a very clear picture. Having Roku embedded is also a nice feature that TCL continues showcase. This is an excellent television without having to buy a premium price it sacrifice picture quality.

Great Picture for the money!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought as a present and should have bought one for myself. For the price you can't beat it's quality and features. The only issue is the remote died after 6 months. TCL issued a replacement with no hassle at all.

Good value 4 the money. Issues with other remotes
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price we paid we think the picture quality is excellent. Also, having Roku built-in saves even more. Would have given it 5 stars but the TV can't be controlled by my Xfinity remote like most others nor can I control the Xfinity box or soundbar with the TV remote.

Very nice TV for price
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TCL 5 series is a really good TV especially for the price. I was able to get it on sale cheaper than the normal 4 series TV. So far so good. ROKU platform easy to use and quality of TV is more than satisfactory.

Excellent TV for the Price.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a TV for my bedroom. I rarely watch TV in my bedroom and do most of my watching in the living room. So I did not want to break the bank for something that would not get much use. The normal TV's I buy or high end $1200 plus sets. I was not expecting much for something in the $300 range. I have to say I was really surprised at the quality of this set. The colors are pretty good and the TV can get pretty bright. The black levels are really good. Roku TV has everything I have ever heard of plus a bunch of apps that I have never heard of. There is no local dimming so there is a little bit of blooming that the average viewer would not notice. I would highly recommend this for purchase.

Inexpensive, good quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second TCL TV we have purchased. The first is this same model but 2 models older. The first has worked well since the beginning and when we did have a problem, TCL sent someone out to swap out the TV when lines appeared on the image and could not be removed. This was while it was under warranty. One thing to be aware of, while the tech was here, TCL basically does not repair TVs onsite. Given the price points of the TV, they will send a tech with a refurb or new unit and swap it out. This replacement will have warranty to the end of the term for the FIRST TV; it does not extend the warranty. Image quality is good. Sound is decent for the price. Recommended.

Better than expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently had a s425 series that took a dump on me in 2 years because the screen blanked out on me and this was my replacement. I figured yeah same tv just 5 series but it actually does look way better since is has the motion crap on it unlike the 4 series. I do recommend this for a budget tv. Great picture, sound isnt as loud as the previous tv, but it works fine. Same simple roku and smart tv features ans simple to use. Hard to adjust darks but for the price its quite good. For another hundred the LG would be a better choice, but TCL does sit up there as well. Longevity, not so good in my opinion. 2 years on my 4 series. Well see how long this one plays out.

Great value tv
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The tv is as good as it gets at the price point. I only wish that the internal speakers were a little bit better. However the system is very intuitive and easy to use. The picture is even better than you might expect and looks great!
