    Great Value for sub $500 55" TV
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018*

TCL has established themselves as one of the best values in TV's at any given price point. Their 5 series TV's offer noticeable improvements over the 4 series for only a little more money. Voice remote, Dolby Vision HDR , HDR Pro Gamma, Wide Color Gamut and Dolby Atmos support. . On the 55" size, this 5 series TV is only $50 more than the same size 4 series. Well under $500. The 6 series adds local dimming (TCL calls it Contrast Control Zones) This will improve the picture - But the price jumps up $180. The $50 seems well spent.Amazon constantly has these 5 series sets at 50" and 55" going out of stock - a good indication that the positive reviews online - like Tom's Hardware rating the five series their "best under $500" has Amazon struggling to meet demand.  I'm not a TV expert, but many experts are saying you get performance and premium features similar to sets that cost a lot more.Now for my observations.No reason not to get a 4K set. Not that much more expensive than the 2K sets now.The feet on this 55" TCL are 39" apart at the widest. Geez but everyone - including me - wants to know how far apart the feet are on these big TV's so they will know if it will fit on their existing TV stands. Manufacturers rarely list this.  My TV stand is 41" wide, so this fit.  Another note - YOU CAN BUY feet that attach to the VESA mounts on the back of most  flat panel TV's.  This moves the feet much closer together. They run $20-$30. Cheaper than a new TV stand.  The feet on this set do the job but don't inspire confidence. I would much prefer a stand in the middle like my old TV had.  I wouldn't want teenage boys wrestling in front of this TV.  Just sayin...The TV is good looking. A thin, metal bezel around the panel, combined with a very, very shallow depth except at the base gives the TV a premium look.Best Buy appears to have these sets for $20 less. But their sets do not have a voice remote. The only difference. Otherwise the same TV.This is my first Roku TV.  We have multiple (smaller)  TV's in the house and we cut the cable a couple of years ago. Amazon Fire TV sticks (current generation) have been the only streaming devices used until now.  I wanted a Fire TV set but the Toshiba's don't get very good reviews on their actual picture and the Insignia's - which get better reviews (but not as good as the TCL's - 4 or 5) feet were too far apart for my TV stand.  The Roku as a streaming platform is a little different but comparable to Fire.  Like the Fire, Roku slips a few ads in on the home screen. Like Fire, you have to set up a Roku account (which is free)  Apps download and install quickly, and it's easy to remove any apps you don't want or use.  Perhaps the most noticeable omission for Roku is there is no native web browser.  Amazon Fire has Silk.  The only web browser is an app called Web X that is - unbelievably - a $5 a month subscription.  It's not a big deal to me since I virtually never used Silk to browse the web. I have smartphones, tablets and laptops for that. But it's a surprising omission.  On the plus side, I had never looked at the Roku channel before (I had Fire TV sticks, right?)  and there is a surprisingly large amount of worthwhile content to watch. All free, just occasional and short commercials. There are Roku apps for Prime videoThe TV's remote is small, has large buttons (and not many of them) and overall easy to use. DirecTV Now is not intuitive at all with this remote. But then DirecTV Now wasn't intuitive with my Fire TV remote either.  And just like Fire, you can download a Roku app to your smartphone and use it as a remote. Saves you if you lose the remote and this also lets you plug in headphones and listen to the sound without disturbing others.The TV has an adequate for most number of inputs/outputs. The lack of component level inputs is a noticeable omission. And there is only one hook up for composite. So those with multiple older devices they want hooked up may need to get an component to HDMI adapter ($20'ish bucks  here) The TV has adequate sound but the Dolby Atmos support is there for those that want to spring for a compatible Atmos sound set upThe picture out of the box needed some adjustment. To bright and too redish.  I can't decide which looks the best. Either MOVIE mode or NORMAL with color reduced from 50 to 40-42.  Everyone should keep in mind that there really is no single "best" setting for every channel and every lighting condition.  If you always want the "best" you'd be constantly adjusting based on what you are watching, the source and room lighting.  But I think most will find MOVIE or NORMAL, both with or without a bit of tweaking of settings (brightness, contrast, color, tint etc) , works well in most situations and sources.  Speaking of sources, you have to adjust these picture settings for each input type.  Your antenna or cable, your DVD, each HDMI input, your streaming apps (collective) . When in that source, you press the * button on the remote which brings up settings.There is an interesting feature that allows you to "pause" live TV. You insert a 16GB thumb (flash) drive in the USB port. Then run the set up. If you pause live TV, then up to 90 minutes is recorded to the flash drive. This works with your antenna (broadcast) TV.  I don't know if I will ever use it, but it seems like it could be useful to some.In short, this set offers a lot of value. You can certainly buy better TV's - this will not compete with a $1500 OLED set. But it looks a lot better and offers features you don't expect at a sub $500 price.

    A very good (but not perfect) relatively inexpensive 4K TV-entertainment package
  

*by G***  on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2018*

Bottom line: I would judge this set to be a very good value for the $400 I paid Amazon for it.This TV was a Mother's Day replacement for a CRT 25 inch in our bedroom which was well past its prime. We chose a new 4K model rather than an older, cheaper 1080p TCL model the same size because we wanted future 4K compatibility as well as better picture quality.We were not disappointed. I am nearsighted but the picture is big enough to see clearly from my bed on the other side of the room without my glasses. Sound quality is adequate. Despite its large screen size, it is very thin and relatively light. One-person setup was easy: Remove from the box, attach the two plastic foot supports with the supplied screws, plug in the power cord and signal inputs and turn it on. The Roku setup instructions on screen, including the wifi connection procedure, were easy to follow. I was impressed with the extensive selection of Roku apps. The most tedious chore was registering the paid Roku apps (HBO, Starz, etc.) for free use via my cable TV subscription.While overall my wife and I are very satisfied, the TV does have some shortcomings and there is some important and useful information missing from the written instructions.1. Bottom clearance: When mounted on its support feet, the bottom of the TV is just 2" above the supporting surface, which is not enough room for our cable TV box. We had to place the box just behind the TV, which allowed the cable remote to work, but the cable box display was not visible except when we looked at it while lying down in our beds. TCL, if you are reading this, please supply in the box an alternative set of foot supports that provide more bottom clearance, or better yet, make the existing supports height adjustable.2. Many cable TV users like to use the unified remote provided by their cable company to control both the cable box and the attached TV. It is possible to do this with the TCL units, but the instructions supplied for this in the manual are incomplete. They provide the necessary code settings for the cable remote to control the TV for only a few of the major cable suppliers, and they do not mention a necessary change in the TV's default settings necessary to make using the cable remote practical. By default, when the TV powers on, you get  selection of possible programming sources, including the cable TV box signal and the installed Roku apps, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. You have to select the source you want before you can watch it full screen, but many cable box remotes are not capable of issuing the necessary instruction to the TV to do that. You have to go back to the remote that came with the TV to select the signal source (a pain in the neck). TCL customer service gave me a practical workaround for the problem. In the TV's power settings, you can instruct it at power on to go automatically to the cable box input and show it full screen. With the TV power-on options set up that way, as long as you are only watching cable, the cable remote has all the necessary control functions, including power, volume and changing channels. TCL if you are reading this, please include full information on the cable TV remote settings in the instruction manual or, better yet, in the onscreen initial setup routine.3. Signal inputs. This is one area in which the TCL is weak. As others have noted, 3 HDMI inputs are not enough for someone who wants to use this as the main display for a sophisticated entertainment center. The absence of component video inputs, and the inclusion of just a single a/v input jack for composite video and stereo audio signals is a major compromise. The absence of component video inputs on this TV means that the signal from older video sources, including game boxes, which do not have HDMI outputs can only be shown at the lowest resolution, and will result in a noticeably fuzzy picture. (Note: Even with an HDMI connection, cable reruns of an old TV series such as the original Startrek will also look fuzzy on any 4K or 1080p TV because they were originally shot with a picture quality that was often not much better than that of the low resolution TVs of their era.)4. Audio: It would be more convenient for private watching if TCL had put a headphone jack on the front of this TV, or better yet, included a bluetooth audio option. Roku offers a private listening option requiring the use of its cellphone app, but it is less convenient and doesn't work listening to the cable TV signal.5. Roku remote: The Roku remote included with the TV is very small, with a minimum of buttons, some of whose functions are not immediately obvious. Using this remote takes some getting used to, but you don't have much choice because the manual control buttons, located on the bottom of the TV, are not visible from the front and are inconvenient to use. The remote does include some "express" buttons to launch a few of the streaming services available through Roku apps, including Netflix, Sling, Hulu and Starz. However, the Amazon Prime Video streaming app, which is part of the standard Roku setup, does not have its own remote button. Another reason why we chose this TCL model was its enhanced Roku remote with a voice search capability. It will find and display available choices for streaming a movie or TV show that you request verbally by name. However, Roku's voice search lacks the versatility of the Alexa voice activated intelligent assistant built into Roku's competitor, the Amazon Fire Stick, which will also respond to voice requests for such things as the local weather forecast or news reports.6. Conclusion: This 43-inch TCL 4K TV is a pleasure to watch, and its Roku capabilities greatly expand the entertainment options it offers. Taken together, it is an attractive package at a lower price than its competitors, but a few enhancements, which should not have added much to its cost, would have enhanced its convenience and versatility. TCL, are you listening?
