TCL 55" TV & Alto 9+ w/Subwoofer

Had 4k tv for 16 months and then one day it turns on and blackscreen. This is an issue on TCL tv's. I am told since you are 4 months over warranty you are just out of luck. Take my advice and buy an LG or Samsung and get quality and not this junk.

This is my second TCL TV (I purchased a 55" series 5 model about 2 years ago and it's still kicking) and I have to say the quality on these things is fantastic for the price! I'm not the pickiest TV shopper, but I needed a 4k TV with HDR support for the PS5 this fall. Needless to say this thing is a huge upgrade from the 32" Vizio TV it was replacing.While yes, this doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a more expensive TV (HDMI 2.1 ports in particular) this will more than get the job done. To be honest, I really doubt many games will even take advantage of those features so as far as my money is concerned this TV is a great buy for someone looking for amazing image quality at a low price.The only downside to the particular unit I received is a dim backlight in the four corners which is only really noticeable when white (or really light) content is on the screen. Since we're in the middle of a pandemic I'm not gonna be picky about getting an exchange for it because it really isn't noticeable 99% of the time.Even if you don't play games and are only using this TV for streaming content like Netflix, Hulu, Disney + etc. it's more than worth it. The Roku interface is so snappy and it's just overall such a joy to use this thing.

I bought this Tv from amazon on Aug. 20, 2020. On Oct. 5, the sound completely went dead. I did afactory reset, the sound came back but cut off again 10 minutes into watching Netflix. This has happened on allthe input sources I have tried it on. The sound will cut off every 10 minutes, you will have to then unplug the tv, wait 2 minutes and turn it on again. 10 minutes in, the sound will cut off again. You would have to do this at least 5 times to watch one movie. Amazon told me they are not responsible and said that they will not help. I am trying to get hold of TCL Support. Do not buy this tv and do not buy it from Amazon. You are on your own, once the tv is in your hands.

I was debating with going with the new 5 series or the 6 series. I decided to go with the 5 series and let me tell you that I am not disappointed at all with the purchase. I thought I was going to be missing some of the features the 6 series has (like mini LED's and higher actual refresh rates). But the 5 series really surprised me. The QLED technology and the wide color gambit built into the panel looks really good. Colors just seem to pop and they look very accurate out of the box. Of course, some-fine tuning may be needed to adjust it to what you think looks best . But overall the default settings are fantastic.The HDR is also pretty good but not perfect. This TV isn't able to get bright enough to experience true HDR. But I think the HDR experience it does provide is rather good for its brightness. It also has Dolby Vision support that looks much better than the typical HDR 10 standard. I really enjoy watching content in Dolby Vision as it just looks better overall.Another plus is the Roku operating system built into the TV. I have always felt that the Roku OS is one of the simplest and feature-rich TV OS's around. There are plenty of apps to choose from. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney +, and plenty more. It makes watching content from any streaming service super easy as you don't have to hook up another device to stream.I also use this TV for gaming. The input lag is very low and inputs feel smooth. Make sure that you enable game mode in the TV settings. It really makes a difference in the amount of input lag from the controller.Overall I would say that this TV is a must-buy! Sure it doesn't have some of the fancier features. But it's also a lot cheaper and provides a fantastic picture that anybody will love!

I bought this over the new Vizio M series even though that has HDMI 2.1 spec but a 60fps native resolution.When I first set this TV up, the colors were washed out and I like the saturated colors.I followed TCL "6-Series" 2019 Settings over at rting.com and adjusted the settings more on my viewing preferences.Personally, I set the color all the way to '100' and turned off all Motion Smoothing settings in the Movie mode.Otherwise, the tv is nice and the design is bezel-less with a silver / 'gun-metal' frame finish.The remote that is included is only IR and is NOT the RF enhanced voice remote. I have picked up the Roku enhanced voice remote from Amazon for about $20+tax to go with this TV setup will update this once the remote is delivered.Update: I got the Roku enhanced remote and paired it with the TV. No Issues and works great. No longer have to point the remote in the direction of the TV. In the meantime, the rtings.com review of the TCL 5 series QLED is also out for anyone curious about the full review. I still have my color settings to max. For me, this TV was a nice purchase.

Great tv awesome picture so far so good only thing is the remote doesn’t work if I don’t point straight to the tv but everything else is just great

Awesome HDRGreat blacks + solid black uniformity (minimal crush).Slight blooming, slight banding, slight DSE but for the price how can you complain.Motion and interface are solid.This is essentially the 6 series from last year at a more affordable price and it performs great.

Indeed nothing to complain in this price point for getting a qled TV.However, it doesn’t have chrome cast like my old Vizio does. I might need to spend some time to get used to it
