Two 55 inch 4K TCL TVs
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased two TCL TV models in 2024: This model 55S551G is my 2nd 55-inch TCL Smart TV bought in the last 4 months. I got the best picture quality after using the same settings on both TVs. The first model purchased was 55S450G. There was no lag switching between TV, TCL, Pluto, and YouTube. Using the skip and mute buttons reduce excess commercials. Audio: Bluetooth and WIFI are strong. I use a Wired headphone when the Bluetooth headphone needs a recharge. Both headphones have loud and clear sounds when moving around and come in handy when people are asleep. For audio, the only setting change was from ‘dynamic’ to ‘movie’. Sounds coming through the headphones are better than sounds from both TV built-in speakers. Built-in Shutdown: The TV turns off if I pause a YouTube video and step away. But when you restart YouTube, it returns to the previous video at the point of shutdown. Local TV stations: I was able to get free local TV stations by attaching two old external antennas. I got 12 free channels on the S55 model and 20 free channels on the S45 model. No issues after months of use in 2024. Prices on the S55 model dropped. Newer TCL models are now on sale. I bought the TV furniture stands first and then checked the TVs length, width, and height for ideal fit.

Perfect TV for a smaller space.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this TV as a lightweight budget option for a guest room. Very easy to hang with one person, picture quality is more than adequate and the sound is good. The apps work smoothly. Overall I would recommend.

Loving my new purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the ease of setting up and that it works with platforms like Apple HomeKit and Google home products, and as well as Alexa! It has the Google Android software, so casting is super easy, and it has AirPlay built in, so it has you covered there also. Well built tv that will fit the needs of every consumer. And lastly it has profiles so everyone can make the tv their own!

I would definitely recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm blown away by the exceptional picture quality and impressive features of my new TCL 55-inch TV! Purchased from Best Buy, this TV has exceeded my expectations in every way. Firstly, the 4K Ultra HD resolution is stunning, with crisp and vibrant colors that bring movies and TV shows to life. The HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology adds incredible depth and contrast, making every viewing experience feel immersive. I'm also impressed with the TV's smart features, which are powered by Google TV. The intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate and access my favorite streaming services, including Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. The TV's design is sleek and modern, with a slim profile that fits perfectly in my living room. The wide viewing angles ensure that everyone in the room can enjoy an excellent viewing experience. Best Buy's service was top-notch, as always. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, answering all my questions and ensuring I had everything I needed for a smooth setup. Overall, I'm thoroughly enjoying my TCL 55-inch TV experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a high-quality, affordable TV.

Big screen, great value—perfect for everyday viewi
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using this 55-inch TCL smart TV and it’s honestly a great deal for the price. The picture quality is sharp with vibrant colors, and everything looks smooth whether I’m watching movies, sports, or streaming shows. The screen size is perfect for a living room setup and really makes everything feel more immersive. The smart features are easy to use, and apps load quickly without any lag. Setup was simple right out of the box, and the interface is straightforward to navigate. Sound quality is decent on its own, but even better if you pair it with a soundbar. Overall, it delivers solid performance, a clean design, and great value. Definitely a good pick if you want a reliable big-screen TV without spending a fortune.

Tremendous value for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is our second TCL tv. We were so pleased with the 32" one we bought for our sunroom, that we decided to buy the 56" UHD for our living room. The picture is sharp with excellent contrast and blacks. Its 3 hdmi ports give you a lot of flexibility. We use one for our 4k Roku stick and the e-arc is connected to a nice creative labs sound bar with subwoofer, both of which can be controlled with the Roku remote. The built-in tv speakers are typical- tinny with noticeable distortion at higher volumes. The included Google and TCL apps give you added viewing options. For $250 it's a great deal, even if it only lasts five years. Highly recommend.

Dorm TV
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good tv. Great price and has performed well. Throughout its use however, the only issue has been not able to connect to WiFi with username and password WPA authentication. Other than that, it’s been great. Sometimes laggy, but Google TV is way better than Roku, especially with all the apps.

Amazing picture quality for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am thoroughly impressed with this TV. The 4K picture is vibrant and sharp, and the HDR contrast makes movies look incredible. Google TV is fast, smooth, and easily organizes all my streaming apps on one home screen. It's an absolute steal at this price point.

Excellent Smart TV with Google TV Integration
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased the TCL TV with Google TV, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! The picture quality is outstanding—vivid colors, deep contrast, and smooth motion make watching movies and sports a fantastic experience. The built-in Google TV is a game-changer, offering an intuitive interface and seamless access to all my favorite streaming services. The voice control feature is incredibly convenient, and setup was quick and hassle-free. For the price, this TV delivers exceptional value. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a smart, feature-packed television!

Solid TV with good picture quality.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price this thing is great. I haven't had a new TV in quite a few years so I appreciate the auto change to certain TV modes like Dolby Vision when it detects that content. I paired it with a DTS:X compatible 2.1 soundbar and it's great. The picture quality seems good to me. It's very smooth and crisp. You can obviously play around with the settings to fine tune all of that to your liking. One of the even better things about this TV is the built in Google TV. It is faster than the Google Chromecast 4k with built in Google TV. That dongle is slow as heck and this built in one puts it to shame. If you've already invested in the Google TV area and like the Chromecast, this is a good choice.
