TCL - 55" Class 4 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV

With all the negative reviews I swear I thought this tv was going to be a bust but it most definitely wasn’t. The picture quality is amazing and for $200 it most definitely is worth it. You get all streaming apps including hbo max which most smart TVs do not have. This 55 inch looks exactly the same as my $800 LG that’s in the living room so trust me if you need a cheap, nice quality tv for your bedroom this here is the best bang for your buck. Also it has chrome cast which lets you mirror things from your phone to your tv!

I bought this TV after my long-suffering Insignia 50" 4K Roku TV finally bit the dust. This TV's low price point made me disregard the negative reviews but I should have heeded their warnings. I bought this TV on October 20, 2020, and just four days later it has failed. Last night it worked fine, but I turned it on this morning to find that the display has gone haywire. There is a 5-inch wide rainbow-colored vertical stripe running down the middle and the rest of the display is a flickering, flashing mess. I've repeatedly tried turning it off and on, unplugging it, etc., to no avail. Sometimes the rainbow-colored stripe turns black but it never actually goes away. It hasn't moved or been touched since I hung it on the wall, and I live alone with no pets, so nothing hit it or anything like that. It just died. When it worked, the picture and sound quality were pretty good for the price. I like the Android interface, and setup was amazingly easy. I'm not a huge fan of the remote (Roku-style remotes are much more intuitive, in my opinion) but I'm sure I would've gotten used to it. If it hadn't died I would say it's a good value, but since this one died after only four days, I can't recommend it. I think I'll bite the bullet and exchange this for something at a higher price point.

$200 for 55" or 4k, who could ask for more. Great price for a lot of real estate. Some of the colors are represented a little too vibrant, tweaking the settings makes them acceptable. Worth the money, have other TCL with Roku operating system, not worth the extra$$ in my opinion.

I must say this tv has great colors. You can add apps to it and whatever tv service you have is great. The volume is super great and playing a game system on it works great everything looks good. Sometimes the tv does get slow if you don’t power it off from time to time.

Good for the money. Remote is small and easy to miss place. Pic is very good.

Setup could not have been easier. TV is very user-friendly and has many options yet to explore.

I love everything except the CEC. First off, I am upgrading from a 39inch 720p Vizio to this 55in 4K and wow. The colors are so vivid. This will obviously not give you the type of colors that an OLED can provide. However, the price is worth this buy. I would buy it again. My only issue has to deal with the CEC capability . I am an avid FireTV user. With my previous TV I was able to use the tv remote to control FireTV through HDMI CEC. However, with this TV it’s not that simple. Every time you want to use your tv remote to control the FireTV you have to go to settings>system>T-link>guide. Only then will it allow you to control the fire stick. However, with guide activated, you end up with a big virtual remote on the screen. It’s unfortunate but I’ll live using two remotes for now.

Purchased this tv at a terrific price! I like the lightweight, slim design and clear, bright picture. The sound is good as well and does not need a sound bar even in a large master bedroom ( but would be beneficial in a basement or larger family room.) For a 55” 4K UHD tv TCL makes a great tv at a fraction of the price of Sony, Vizio, and LG. Super pleased overall. Remote could be lit for easier use.
