    Customers have different views on the television's durability. Some find it reliable and solid, with a compact remote that performs well. Others feel it feels cheaply made and not up to best standards. The remote seems to be made of mild steel, which can break easily.

    "...Great Price! 2.) Decent Quality 3.) Small and simple controller (Pretty much standard Roku) 4.)..." Read more

    151 customers mention "Sound quality"84 positive67 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the sound quality of the television. Some say it's adequate for apartments, with inputs including ARC, a headphone output, and the ability to pause. They decode Dolby Atmos quite well, and integrates with a Sound Bar. However, others are disappointed with the sound quality, saying the settings are limited, the audio is out of alignment, and there can be a bit of difficulty hearing some conversations.

    "...I think the TV sounds really good. I have it at like 15-20/100 and that is plenty loud for me, even too loud at times...." Read more

    "...Not a lot of bass, not a lot of midrange power & clarity. For the price of this TV you can add a good sound system and still be ahead pricewise...." Read more

    143 customers mention "Functionality"75 positive68 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the TV's functionality. Some say it works well enough, with Xbox One X and the apps working fine. Others mention it stopped working, the remote didn't work properly, and the speakers stopped working.

    "...The Roku app works fine. My wife says it's a little slow to start a new app; I haven't noticed that...." Read more

    "...I spent about an Hour kinda upset how HDR wasn't working on my PC but it was working fine on the smart apps...." Read more

    "...It is simply a nice TV. However, just recently the TV's speakers stopped working. One night they were working perfectly when the TV was turned off...." Read more

    94 customers mention "Remote control"25 positive69 negative

    Customers dislike the remote control. It's the most basic one they've ever had, making it impossible to use unless it's four feet or less away from the TV. The remote is an IR remote, so it must be pointed directly at the TV. Many find it not intuitive, with occasional freezing and incomplete settings. The remote has become harder to use over time, and there is no replacement remote compatible with this model.

    "...anywhere in front; it blocks the sensor, which causes the remote to not function. Your only other option is to purchase a $50 IR extender...." Read more

    "...Unfortunately that prevents the remote from working...." Read more

    "...Great Price! 2.) Decent Quality 3.) Small and simple controller (Pretty much standard Roku) 4.)..." Read more

    "...I felt like the remote control was very simplistic though and felt cheap...." Read more

    First arrived in pieces.  Second arrived with dots on the screen.  Third is perfect!
    5 out of 5 stars
    First arrived in pieces. Second arrived with dots on the screen. Third is perfect!
    I ordered the 50" TCL 5 S535 model on Amazon after having read up on reviews on RTings, a website that reviews TVs and Monitors. The first 50" arrived in multiple pieces, with the metal foot having been smashed into the TV after the box had been significantly damaged and the foot had broken loose from the damaged packing material. (Picture one, the glowing blue nightmare.) Amazon was aces with the replacement, which shipped immediately and arrived in a much better treated box. However, the second one had several dots on the screen, roughly the size of a dime, which were noticeably darker than the rest of the panel. I returned this one for a refund.I ended up purchasing the 55" TCL 5 S535 version locally instead, so I could take it back same day and scream at people if need be. It is slightly bigger than I wanted, but still manageable.The picture quality is great on both models, as they have the exact same panel and internal electronics. It is excellent for video gaming, and the Roku streaming services are amazing. I mounted the TV to a VESA compatible PERLESMITH Universal TV Stand Table Top TV Base (B07XLMQ39D) as I dislike the metal feet and do not have a very wide entertainment console, this worked perfectly.I hooked a Mohu ReLeaf antenna to the TV and picked up ~35 local channels in rural Idaho, with several hundred free channels from the built in streaming services as well, all seamlessly integrated into the process. The device also hooked up to my Google Assistant enabled smart home, however the TV does NOT support Chromecasting, and will require a Google Chromecast at a later date.The Roku Remote Control is easy and intuitive, with the only criticism I have being that the remote has 4 buttons dedicated to streaming services that I do not use, and they cannot be remapped (swapping Disney+ for Amazon Prime Video, for example.) But this is not a huge deal.The big takeaway I would have with this experience is: 1. A non-zero number of these TVs are arriving in bad shape when they arrive. Open and test them immediately. 2. There is a "panel lottery" as the QA process on all TVs is not perfect. Even with the good 55", the 4 corners of the screen are slightly darker, but this is just a reality of this kind of display. 3. Amazon's return process was aces the entire time, although they will want photos handy; I suggest uploading them someplace like imgur or google photos or apple's icloud so they can be readily shared.

      The picture is incredible. Previously I had a 55" TCL/Roku TV, set a bit farther away, and I liked it. But I couldn't see the difference between HD and 4K. Well, add 10" and sit a few feet closer, and the difference is striking -- at first I almost got dizzy watching some moving scenes. I went ahead and paid the extra for 4k Netflix and am happy with that.

      The sound is what I would expect from a thin, light TV like this. Not a lot of bass, not a lot of midrange power & clarity. For the price of this TV you can add a good sound system and still be ahead pricewise. But currently we're watching it without added sound and it's good enough not to be annoying.

      It's surprising how light such a big TV is. I will be mounting it, and while I know I "should" have help, I probably will do it alone and won't worry. I'm in my 60's in (at best) half decent shape but I don't work out, so you don't need to be an athlete to pick this up. Small, slight people would have trouble.

      BTW we got this TV because we were very happy with the Roku TCL 55" we got 3 or 4 years ago but need to replace due to moving. The Roku app works fine. My wife says it's a little slow to start a new app; I haven't noticed that. If 5 or 10 years from now the internal Roku just can't handle it due to new software always needing more CPU horsepower or memory, I'll spend $30 and get a Roku stick. Meanwhile it's nice to have just one zapper to do everything.

      I knocked one star off of "remote" simply because the remote does not have a microphone. You can probably do that using the Roku app.

      The Roku app isn't the greatest, though; it can't handle certain things if your phone has lots of pictures. (I'd like to set up my photos for screensave mode and the app has that feature but it doesn't work because my phone has too many pictures.) But that's not TCL's fault.

      First impressions, just got it today.

      Bought this TV because it's rated highly compared to the same price range/size of only TVs on the "rtings".

      I think the TV sounds really good. I have it at like 15-20/100 and that is plenty loud for me, even too loud at times. I'm in a media room btw, not a big open living room setting.

      The TV also looks good in my opinion. Nothing like an OLED of course, since it's not, but I think those this price and being LED it looks great. I don't notice "halos" or light bleeding into the dark zones.

      There's a game mode for gamers out there who want less input lag! And I don't even notice the change in visuals that apparently get a little worse when you use game mode which is great for me.

      TV is nice and big and the screen is pretty much the entire screen. The border is almost flush to the screen and barely there - added picture for reference.

      I can't say anything about the TV feet it comes with, because I ordered separate universal ones so the TV would fit on my current TV stand. Just from looking at and touching them they seem just like their your standard subpar feet that pretty much every TV comes with these days.

      It does require you to sign up for a Roku account as well as have internet as far as I know (I didn't see any skip option, but I didn't look too hard either). However, it was a fast and easy signup taking like 1-2min. The part that asks for payment information can be skipped entirely thank goodness.

      The HDMI, etc ports are at the sides of the TV, with nothing to plug in the middle. This is pretty good if you want to wall mount your TV, as the mount will not interfere with any of the plugs. There is a downside that the angles the HDMIs go in are kind of awkward since my devices are on the opposite side/middle area, but as long as they don't cause damage to the cords I could really care less. Pic of this as well for reference.

      Have two four series in bedrooms a 4k and a 1080 and love the TCL roku TV. So when we upgraded the LG in the living room, it was a no brainer to check out the TCL.
      Got a 75 inch five series and couldn't be happier. Picture is incredible after trying all the serrings this thing has and finding the right ones for us. Watching 4k sports is incredible. You can see the pebbling on the ball surface and blades of grass on the turf. 1080 is almost as good.
      There are better TVs out there but not by much to my eyes and not worth thousands more, in fact, I think this is a better picture than a lot of the big buck TVs out there that I have seen. Colors are good and viewing angle as well. Good blacks overall, but sometimes it does them funny (greenish and blotchy like a cheap TV) but that seems to be from poor quality sources, like old black and white documentaries on Nefllix.
      Sound is actually quite good but I use a sound system so no real review. Do not game, so also no review here. From what I read though, you may want to look at the six series for gaming.
      Overall, value for money or not, take a look at this TV. Highly recommended.
