A good budget choice for the PS5
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic tv. This is truly the best bang for your buck TV out there. I would particularly take note of the fact that it has VRR and 120hz support which works flawlessly for the PS5 Pro. It makes everything just silky smooth and it being mini LED makes the HDR content really pop out. A great choice.

Great 4K TV option with budget in mind
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better than expected! Yes it's not an OLED but it's definitely a true 4K TV that the average joe will be super happy with. Plays games great and looks amazing. You will not be disappointed.

Best "budget" 4k 120hz TV w/ Mini LED
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I believe this the best budget option for anyone not looking to splurge on an OLED. Other than your fairshare of Google TV software issues that TCL works on fixing constantly, this TV has as great of blacks you can get without going to an OLED. And it has better brightness than many OLED TV's. I would go watch some youtube videos that show the performance of this TV (most are positive). In addition to that it works great on next gen consoles and offers 120hz performance on them! If I were to choose any "budget" TV other than an OLED, this would be my go-to. The only reason it goes down to a 4 is because of the software issues but if you're going to use a firestick, apple tv, etc. than you should have no issues.

Best 120hz for the price - hands down.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing so far! Picture is beautiful and the 120hz is very smooth. I bought this tv primarily for gaming on my Xbox Series S (specifically to play the new Witcher 3 update), and it is amazing. It takes a bit to get it calibrated but rtings.com has a lot of settings suggestions. The black levels are very nice, looks similar to most OLEDs I’ve seen. The Google interface is nice as well, I was unsure as I have been a Roku user up until now, but I like this much better.

Beautiful Television for a great price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent television for a bright room. Tv doesn't disappoint during the brightest part of the day with lots of light from several large windows in the room and looks amazing at nighttime. Sound is about a 6.5 out of 10, is loud and clear and can be used without a sound bar. Google is responsive and loads things quickly and was very easy to setup. Only negative I have had is using the Tv with an eARC supported head unit. Volume will lag while turning up or down and then change very quickly to very high or very low. Must adjust slowly with 1 click and a pause for a second before going more.

Unbeatable for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As someone who gets really annoyed about small picture issues and is typically an OLED fan, I was absolutely blown away with this TV. It bothers me that so many reviewers will completely discount the smaller brands and favor the "top tier" brands every time. TCL was the fist to bring Mini-LED to market and they are by far the best at it right now. To beat the picture of this TV, you would have to spend at least double on a TV from one of the "better" brands. A lot of people question how long TCL's last, but I have had their TVs before and had no issues, but if that is a concern for you, buy the 5 year warranty and you'll still save money compared to similar TVs from the bigger brands which also don't last forever. The sales people at Best Buy are going to try to sell you on one of the bigger brands that takes up 75% of their floor space (we all know what brand it is) and I have fallen for it too and returned those TVs immediately. All TVs will look great in the store, but this TV actually overdelivers on local dimming, is ridiculously bright, and has so many more features than you would expect. The only issue I had was an issue with setting up my soundbar, but a quick search online and it was fixed. The operating system takes a little getting used to, but once you do, it is actually pretty great. If this TV is on sale at all when you are looking to buy, it is really the only one you need to look at. Bundle this with a soundbar and a warranty, save your money, and call it a day.

Great TV, Horrible Apps and Operating System
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is overall great, especially if you are looking to utilize the power of modern gaming consoles. It has HDMI 2.1, 120 Hz Refresh, and VRR support. The screen is beautiful, great colors, and awesome picture for you games and movies. HOWEVER The Apps, operating system, and usability are absolutely horrible. First, it wants you to sign into google, so if you have privacy concerns you have to be pretty careful about your settings. It is absolutely full of Apps you will probably never use and they are tedious and annoying to uninstall, if it even lets you. For example, you press several buttons to get to the screen, click uninstall, confirm, then BAM it sends you to the home screen requiring you to do everything over to uninstall the next bloated garbage useless app. Once you run an app, they often lock up or crash, requiring a reboot of the TV. You can chose to not sign into Google, but then you cannot download additional apps, at least, I have not found out how. So you are stuck with the BLOATWARE garbage that is pre loaded. Sorry, no one watches Tubi. Want to get that app off your home screen? Good Luck. This isn't talking smack about the TV itself, its fine. It is just a chore to use such a poorly designed OS and the Google TV is simply awful. I highly recommend using an external steaming device, never signing into google, and watch your TV from there. I love the simplicity of my ROKU player and wish this TCL TV had Roku instead of Google. My old TCL had Ruku and most do. Unfortunately, the only comparable TCL TV with Roku installed does not support the modern gaming features for PS5. TCL, if you read any of these, know that Google is a farty dumpster fire and all your TVs should use Roku. If you have an external player and want a good TV get this one. If you want to be constantly annoyed, bombarded by obtrusive Ads, use Apps that work 15% of the time, difficult navigation, and want all your personalized data monetized with no benefit to you, get this TV. Of course I am joking, if you don't care about the gaming stuff, get the TCL 55S546 with Roku and avoid Google TV like plague.

Great TV Especially for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing TV! It has all the features of an LG but for a fraction of the price. The local dimming features on top of dolby vision gives you a great viewing experience and really nice hdr contrast. So far I havent had any problems with the software, but the only thing I would say its missing is a blue light filter. Its much brighter than its conpetitiors so the brights can be a little harsh in the dark
