TCL - 55" Class 5-Series QLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV

I got this TV last thanksgiving(2022) for $199 and has been a great bargain & going good. Really impressed with it. I just stay with Movie mode and vivid is even bright and colorful

Great tv for the price google tv is nicer than roku for the most part screen quality is really good for a this tv especially when its on sale for sub-$350 has good brightness but not comparable to a mini-led set which would be over $700 at least to get that feature overall a great tv for the bedroom

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.

Surprisingly good picture for the price, this TV also has plenty of streaming services to choose from as well

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.
