This TCL 55” QLED 4K TV is hands down the best bang for the buck if you’re shopping for a new television and don’t want to overpay just for a brand name like Sony or Samsung. The picture quality is excellent — very sharp, vibrant colors, and plenty bright. It is a bright TV, but that’s actually a plus because it includes a blue light filter, which is something you don’t see often and makes a big difference if you watch TV at night. It’s much easier on the eyes and helps reduce eye strain, which I really appreciate. One of the most underrated features is that TCL offers its own built-in free content: • Free live TV • Movies • Shows • Channels you can watch at no cost On top of that, once you add apps like Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, etc., you honestly don’t feel like you’re missing anything. The smart interface is smooth, responsive, and easy to use. I bought this TV as a gift for my mom, and she’s been happy with it ever since. It does everything she needs without any complicated setup, and the picture quality alone makes it feel like a much more expensive TV. For the price, it’s hard to justify spending hundreds more on a “name-brand” TV when this does everything you could possibly want: • Great picture • Smart features • Free built-in content • Eye-friendly options • Competitive pricing If you’re on the fence and debating what TV to buy, do yourself a favor and just get this TCL. You won’t have to worry about buying another TV for years, and you’ll save a lot of money in the process. Highly recommended. Read more

The picture is really decent for a *non local dimming QLED HDTV. Using a Hisense 2.1 soundbar so can't say anything about speakers, yet some say there fine. If your moving up from dirt cheap tv the sound on this may be okay for you. If buying a sound bar get the 2.1 for better bass. I dislike the google interface due to not being familiar with it. I have Amazon app, with several add on features up and running. Also the TCL channels, you tube, antenna local channels and live channels as well as Stars and NETFLIX, what else is needed. Without Google set up I have no voice commands. My 4K DVD Blue Ray player showed up with no problems. Some have (few) complained that they couldn't get their DVD to show up. I figure one day I will get it (Google) set up as soon as someone who is teckie stops by. Picture on this flatscreen is really very good with brilliant color, black n whites. Picture adjusts itself thru the AIPQ processor, not much else to adjust, as it dose this for you 1st 24 hours of use. Price was great at $150 off or $248 for the 50 inch. My AMAZON Fire 50 inch, QLED died after 18 months, so buying a TV was not in my budget at this time and that is how I ended up with this unit, the cost. This TCL is a good price friendly budget QLED TV and well worth the price. Bought the insurance plan for 3 years. Seems now days HDMI TV'S are a throw away item? Only negative I have on this is Google and that may be a deal breaker for some buyers. I am just to use to Fire. Even without Google set up I have so many channels, movies, live tv that I am in no hurry to set it up. (purchased Jan 30 updated March14th 25 uped to 5 Stars)***Pro's (6) *QLED, *Excellent color, *Great black n whites, *Pre loaded App's, *Available channels *Low Price. ***Update JUNE 29th 2025, I set Google up and it was easy. Just need a Google email address and your cell phone #. Now able to add other apps like Tubi, Plex and more. Now my voice remote works. Read more
I had been shopping for a new TV for several months, I had a long wishlist but my TV was still working okay - So I kept trying to save more money to get EVERYTHING on my list (I mean who doesn’t want everything on their list, right?).. Well then one day my TV just wouldn’t turn on again! UGGH then I was forced into a corner BEFORE I was actually ready to buy - But it was shortly before a holiday so I knew there would be sales coming up! After scouring the sales and comparing everything I settled on this Model. This TV is a QLED with upscaling. Its a 4K TV with DOLBY ATMOS & other DOLBY formats as well as the other HDR Pro etc. It also has the ability to change the screen formatting for Cinematic experience or other screen viewing settings! You can choose various Audio formats as well from voice heavy to cinematic.The picture quality is AMAZING! It os so clear & crisp and from every angle! Gone are the days of having to be directly in front of the TV to habe a good viewing experience!! It is a GOOGLE TV which I have never had before, but I don’t mind it.. it guides you through the setup - AND I use Firesticks anyway - So it doesn’t matter much! I DO HOWEVER love the LIVE TV function better on the native TV than the Firestick so I use that regularly. Also the TV does have the ability to download & run all of your favorite apps like Hulu, Netflix , Prime, Max, Disney+, etc — I just didn’t because I was already signed in to them all on the Stick so it was just plug and play! This TV is a FANTASTIC VALUE for the Money paid! I am extremely HAPPY with this TV and even HAPPIER with how much $$$ I saved by buying this vs the others that I was looking 👀 at! My previous TV was also a TCL and I was very happy with it, until it just died & wouldn’t turn back on! I am a HUGE FAN of the TCL BRAND! You WONT REGRET THIS PURCHASE! Read more
TCL is a great tv. The price point is lower then a similar tv from another manufacturer simply because they supply most of their own components, so they don't have to go to an outside vendor. The picture quality is killer! It's like having your own movie screen! 98"! Read more
