    The picture's great. Google TV as the OS is a big plus, you know? It's got tons of channels on its TLC Plus thing, like Pluto or Samsung TV Plus. This TV has a bunch of picture and sound settings. Oh, and the interface is super easy to use. The only downside is that the colors get weird if you watch it from a weird angle, but who does that, right? You can add it to Google Home and control it from there. It's perfect for the price.

    Have had no problems and just enjoy the picture and quality of this tv for the price point. I had gone to my local best buy and only saw a display one which impressed me compared to the other tvs. I would hace bought the display one but the person who helped me said i could order online for delivery or pickup and I did pickup and got a confirmation within 30 minutes and picked it up in my same store and am just happy with my purchase ever since. I have it on a portable stand and aleays use it inside and in my backyard and picture quality is superb. Picture cannot fully display the color this gives.

    The TCL 55" S5-Series delivers impressive 4K picture quality, especially for sports. Google TV interface is user-friendly and setup was a breeze. HDR makes colors pop nicely. Sound is basic but expected at this price point - might want a soundbar. For $267, you're getting a lot of features and quality. Really happy with this purchase!

    Amazing Value for a 4K Smart TV

    I bought the TCL 55” S5-Series 4K UHD HDR Google TV (2024) in February, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. For the price, this TV delivers exceptional picture quality, smooth performance, and a user-friendly smart TV experience. - Picture Quality: The 4K resolution with HDR makes everything pop—whether I’m watching movies, playing games, or streaming shows. The colors are vibrant, and the contrast is surprisingly good for this price range. - Google TV Interface: The built-in Google TV is a game changer. Navigating apps is fast and seamless, and having Google Assistant makes it super convenient to search for content without typing. - Gaming Performance: I was impressed with the low input lag and smooth motion handling. It’s not an OLED, but for casual gaming, it holds up really well! - Build & Sound: The design is sleek and modern, and the built-in speakers are decent for everyday use. That said, pairing it with a soundbar takes the experience to the next level. For a budget-friendly 4K TV, this TCL S5-Series is a fantastic choice. It punches way above its price point, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality TV without breaking the bank!

    Honestly, it's an amazing television. Easy to use easy to set up literally self-explanatory. I like the numerous inputs on it. The ease of adding the apps that I enjoy. The screen is amazing. The settings you can adjust to your liking. Along with the sound, the size is perfect. I have the 55 inch Google television and I will add, I love the remote. You can actually hold the voice google button and what app you would like to watch. The overall quality size sound the exceptional picture on it. Is a win-win for me? I would definitely recommend this television. I recommend this television. Yes, I would recommend this television.

    This is my first Google TV! This 55 in TV is so awesome! The apps, picture and sound quality are all top tier! I’m so glad that I went with this one. It also works great with my fire stick added to it! I have my sound bar added as well. I’d buy another one without hesitation. I loved being able to find it online with Best Buy and picking it up the same day!

    Excellent picture quality in all lighting conditions, no connectivity issues, software runs great with no hiccups. Great option for the price that I’d call- Bang for your Buck! The only thing is the apps buttons on the remote are hypersensitive.

    Big, beautiful, crisp color, quickly responding TV that was easy to mount and very affordable. It has specific modes for different things like movies or video games and is smart enough to know when to switch. The sound is very loud, not the highest quality but exactly what I would expect for the price. I’ll just connect my Bluetooth speakers to it. I Love this TV

    Picture Quality is excellent, it feels like I can jump through the TV with how thin it is and I thought I was was color blind before I saw the vivid 4K color on this tv haha. Sound Quality is amazing. Easy to navigate and with Google Voice control I can get to things faster. Everything is neatly displayed in the menu’s. In my opinion this is hands down the best budget tv around today.
