    I’m truly enjoying my purchase. The picture is very bright and vibrant. I’ve had it for over a year now and I have not had any issues. I am very pleased with the picture quality and sound.

    Amazing for the price. This is a QLED VA panel, which means you will get amazing brightness with great contrast. It has Dolby Vision which supports two modes, Dolby vision bright and Dolby vision Dark. I recommend Dolby vision bright which takes movies to a while other level of clarity and brightness. The sound is standard for a flat screen TV, you will be better off with a Soundbar that is connected through the TV's ARC hdmi port. I only have two issues with this TV. One is that the Google UI can lag and feel a bit unresponsive or not fluid. The second is switching inputs to a game console. For some reason when you switch it the first time it automatically switches back to your last input or app. So you gots to switch the input again back to the console. So each time you wanna game, you have to switch inputs twice. For gaming it'll toggle Game Mode, which is only good for first person shooters or fighting games as this reduces input lag at the cost of a reduced image quality, meaning lesser brightness and color vibrancy. I recommend vivid then tweaking the picture settings to your liking to preserve some color and contrast.

    Great TV for a great price! I was lucky enough to catch this TV on sale and I have no regrets. It’s my very first smart tv purchase and it even has voice control specifically adjusted to recognize your voice! Amazing quality!

    It is not perfect. By any means. But I Went from a 51 inch tv to a 55 inch tv. My old tv was a Samsung plasma tv from like 8 years ago. Great tv. But after my lady gave me a 85 inch Samsung I was like oh boy. I need to replace my other old tv. ( Which still works great Samsung plasma). I didn't wanted to spend much and I just got this tv for 230 with tax included. I got a better screen, bit bigger, Android included which is a plus( chromecast 4k is 40 bucks or 60) And Bluetooth. Super pleased. I saw the YouTube reviews but I was like I'm still gonna try it. For that price ??? Plus I heard good things about TCL. Hopefully later I'll get more money for another samsung 85 inch but for now this is awesome.

    I'm reviewing this TV at the 199.99 price point we purchased it at. The picture is good, the blooming is bad. If you're allergic to blooming move on. The picture settings are hard to access in a way that allows fine tuning. Google TV is Google TV. Smart tvs are essentially weak computers with really big monitors. I reboot my excellent Sony X90j about every month to keep things running smoothly. I've been rebooting the TCL weekly or real slogs can happen. And when they happen it's difficult to even get to the setting to restart the unit and it just gets unplugged. (bad) Plan on using the apps on Google TV not simply casting from your phone. (hard habit to break!) Often when casting, after a few seconds the playback stops and we're asked to contact the apps owner. Don't do that, it's a waste of time. Just download the app. This TV replaced a very very old vizio base model so it's still an improvement for our very bright living room. Reflections are not an issue for us at all. I'm very happy with this TV even with the issues.

    I bought this in January 2022 because the deal was too good to pass up I currently use a 65” Q7 and honestly, I think the picture and color accuracy on the 55” 5 series is a little bit better.

    Great TV for a great price. I previously had a far more expensive Sony Bravia XJ90, and this one is very similar in quality. Average sound at best. Invest in a sound bar.

    Great TV with Flaws

    So we were out shopping for a new TV. At the time we had a 52" Samsung Plasma TV from like the 1st Gen Smart TV World. Anyways, ran across this in an Open Box sale. Checked some reviews and didn't see anything too bad about it. Picked it up for $300 with taxes and I walked away with a QLED 4K Google TV. First impression, styling looks clean and not overdone. The adjustable feet are an awesome feature but I use a rotating stand mount. Picture quality is great from any angles, I've found nothing wrong with angle viewing. When you get 4k stream, its phenomenal. You can count hairs in a beard or see shimmering sparkles of sweat on a forehead. It may not be OLED but is it really that important to have other than gloating to people. Now the flaws, speakers themselves sound like POOP. Luckily I run everything through a 7.2 surround sound system and have no need for built-in speakers. The other let down is only 1 arcE HDMI point. Other than those 2 things, I've found nothing else (so far) to complain about. This is after 2 months of ownership.

    I’m very impressed with the colors and quality of this tv, at first I was skeptical because I got it for $211 with taxes, so I wasn’t expecting much from this tv but in all honesty I’m 1000 % satisfied and I got it tell you I have a Samsung tv 4k and this one gives me better colors there is some little grey-ish tone on the black but not bad at all, I’m very very happy k purchase this tv and I recommend it 100% and one more thing it’s super bright.

    Grabbed this at a substantial discount before Black Friday. Turned out to be an awesome tv. I put it on Dolby Volume and voila, looks great and no further messing with settings. It has extreme brightness. I already had an Appletv 4k so that is what I am using to watch programming. The only question is does it last? I will add it isn’t perfect. Some artifacting. A bit of light bleed. Probably best from 9’ away. But still good closer. I am not coming from an OLED tv tho and again had a substantial discount. I would pay more now that I have used it for almost a month. Again super bright. Makes colors pop and makes the tv seem more expensive. Definitely a step up in my mind from the 4 series which I have experience with. Oh one more thing. I use original HomePods for sound so really no experience with the tv speakers. I might have heard them once. Seemed pretty loud relatively speaking with decent surround effects.

    Only had the tv for a few days but so far so good. The picture quality is great for a QLED under $500. I read some reviews that complained about the brightness, especially when using HDR but so far it’s performed well. Other reviews have also said that the Google interface doesn’t perform well and has a lot of lag. When I initially turn the tv on there is some lag but after it on for just a few minutes there is very minimal lag. My biggest complaint is the position of the inputs. Both the a/v and the power cord inputs are both inputted horizontally and are far too close to the edge of the tv, maybe 4 or 5 inches at most. This means after you hook up 2 or 3 HDMIs and optical cable they stick out past the edge of the screen. Even after tethering them towards the center, they still stick out some. This is a major problem for me and might cause me to return it

    This is a really nice tv picture! It set up easy enough and I bought a swivel stand for it to set on my tv console. It’s my first android tv so it took a couple days before I got proficient in having it jump around the inputs and learning how to use voice control. I learned today that voice control also worked to switch automatically to my antenna input for nbc broadcast station. It’s a bright picture on startup and I needed to backdown the brightness and contrast to my preference. Audio is loud enough but I like using a sound bar for output. There’s an Ethernet port in addition to wifi (5 and 2.4 band) but I use Ethernet to save wifi bandwidth traffic for my other wifi smart tvs or google tv dinked tvs. I wish it had Bluetooth but the sound bar supports blue tooth so I’m covered. I have a Sirius xm subscription and also was able to port my Netflix acct to the tv. Again it’s a nice tv above the entry level smart tv as it has about 40 screen zone dimmers to enhance picture differentiation in low light/dark movie scenes
