TCL50C655K 50-inch QLED Pro Television, 4K Ultra HD, HDR Pro, Smart TV Powered by Android TV (Dolby Vision & Atmos, Motion Clarity, Hands-Free Voice Control, Compatible with Google assistant & Alexa)

Well initial impression is wow... It's SO much better than my previous LG and a million times better than my 4k Hitachi.The picture is bright and very clear when linked up to my Virgin cable box. The TCL channel also had some great high definition streaming videos etc.Sound is brilliant too. I've done away with my sound bar completely, as the rear sub on this TV allows you to have crisp voices yet a good rounded sound as well.... No tinniness.Google TV is fairly snappy, again much better than my previous one which struggled. This TVs interface(s) are generally very smooth without lag. Google TV does occasionally lag a little, but that's the platform rather than the TV itself.... It happens even on very expensive TVs with supposedly more powerful processors.I only have a few minor niggles...1. Trying to find the subtitles selection on digital TV (as they're on by default). That was a right faff.2. Viewing angle. The amazing picture gets slightly washed out if you move too much to the side...3. You can't remove the pre-installed apps. This wouldn't be an annoyance really as there's plenty of storage, however one of them is actually discontinued, so pointless being there.4. This is the only one that concerns me really... The vesa mounting holes... The top ones are nice and solid, giving plenty of support, presumably being attached to the inner frame. However the two lower ones seem to be attached to the plastic outer rear panel only , so it flexes... It seems to hold up ok, but I'm not sure how it would cope if you move the TV/mount regularly.So all in all very happy indeed, and considering buying another for my main room.

this is a 2nd tv for the kitchen, but I've been very pleasantly surprised with how good it is.sound quality is better than my main Samsung and the Roku UX is excellent.picture quality is super and works well over wifi for catchup.it is a very light TV and feels a bit cheap, but once on the wall you dont notice. recommended

A brilliant TV let down by Amazon delivery.As far as the TV goes the sound and picture quality is genuinely brilliant, for this price point I was not expecting the clarity you get. I've had Hisense TVs in the past and what with being cheap the sound is rather quiet and the picture being a bit hit or miss. One thing I will say up front is - if you are using this TV for terrestrial TV watching only the picture quality will be horrible. This TV is geared around streaming online content 1080p and upwards - definitely, 100% preferably 4k content. At that resolution this TV shines. It's simply down to how the TV encodes the image. It's not built for SD content.It's an extremely light TV so wall mounting was a breeze. This is my first Roku TV but have gotten used to the operating system & functionality of it, I've had no issues with it being laggy.I'm going to mark it down for the delivery though as it arrived with a sizeable dent in the top frame which is a real shame as I love this TV but all I can see when I look at it is the damage caused whilst in transit with Amazon or DPD (both were involved with the delivery). In closing - a fantastic TV, awesome picture, brilliant sound, damaged and let down by Amazon/DPD. A real shame, I will decide in the coming days if I will return it for a replacement.***I have decided to return the item as the damage found upon opening it just bothers me far too much, and you can see slightly discoloured bars going up the screen obviously where it's taken a sizeable knock somewhere in transit.

Arrived and looked fine, however startup took almost 20 minutes to complete (not inputs, just waiting for it actually start).UI was so painfully slow it took literal minutes to get properly into the settings, then discovered half of them were missing or hidden.No display options, no HDMI CEC, nothing. TV was detecting HDMI inputs as it would wake up on connecting one, but the 3 wats to try and change Source to HDMI (button on remote, top of home screen and in settings) all failed. The TV tried to bring up a box that should have had the input sources listed but couldn't, froze and closed the option.Knowing something was up, checked for updates, nothing. Tried to power off and on, TV froze. Had to switch off at mains.On reboot, apps wouldn't open, tried to reset wifi just in case.. wifi wouldn't reconnect.Finally decided the trust factory reset was the nect option. Can't.The code of 1234 that is IN THE MANUAL doesn't work. Tried several other generic codes, no dice.Then discovered that the manufacturer have removed the hard factory reset button off of all their TVs, entirely. You can NOT reset the tv if it goes into a restricted mode or has an out of the box fault like ours. They would quite literally have to send out an engineer to pull out the motherboard and replace it any time you have an issue.In the process of looking all this up I discovered this brand (which is on multiple websites for top ranked TVs as of writing) have been in trouble multiple times for shoddy products resulting in mass recalls, which you'd think would be at least mentioned on these sites.Terrible quality control to have so many issues on a single unit, won't be bothering with TCL again in the future.
