Absolutely awesome TV which was super easy to set up. Love that it can easily connect to my google account and easily connect my Netflix as well for easy binge watching. Also came with a voice activated remote with really takes the cake.

Incredible
We got this because of its smart tv capabilities and have been pleasantly surprised. We have added all the apps we usually use and it makes things so quick and easy. The wireless connection is amazing and stable. It also came with a Google remote so we can speak into it to control it. The picture is perfect and we are so thrilled with this TV!

Bought as a cheap TV for the bedroom...boy was I surprised.
Only had this 2 weeks. Feature set is great, picture quality given the price is fantastic. Some jitter on panning but acceptable.
Easy to install and easy to use. Comforted by the fact it has a 3 year warranty. Only disappointment was the price dropped another $80 after I bought it!
Purchased in November 2021 at The Good Guys for $680.00.

Amazing Value TV
I've only had this TV a week, but so far I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I got a fantastic deal through Ebay and Appliance Central with 20% discount off $650, so ended up paying $525 plus postage. For that price the quality of this tv is exceptional. I'm no expert on picture quality, but to my eyes this screen provides a brilliant quality picture once the settings are tweaked. For this I must thank Grant in his review below - I can vouch that the settings he recommends are excellent. I use them for standard picture mode, and shift it to m...Read more
ovie mode when watching movies. I also was surprised at the quality of the sound. I had pretty low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Of course though if you want cinema quality sound you're going to need some external speakers, but for general purpose the sound is more than adequate. I did have an issue though when I first set the tv up. For some reason for the first couple of days the picture quality was slightly fuzzy, and there was motion blurring. I mainly use kayo sports, and any motion was stuttering and looked awful. HD free to air looked anything but HD. I tried adjusting every setting I could to no avail. But I checked out you tube and watched a music video and it looked great, so I couldn't understand why the picture elsewhere was so bad. I was thinking it might have to go back, but the 3rd day I had it I turned it on in the morning and the picture was perfect! No idea what happened, but if you're not happy with the picture out of the box perhaps just wait a few days for it to settle. Everything else has been really smooth. The interface works really well, downloading apps such as kayo is a breeze, and the remote is nice and responsive. Overall definitely highly recommended!Purchased in September 2021 at Appliance Central for $565.00.

Brilliant TV - I'd be surprised if you could beat it for under $1000, 55INCH model
Purchased for around $670 delivered on EBAY September 2022. The settings out of the box are terrible - what are you guys dong at the TCL factory? Once the picture settings are tweaked the HD and UHD is STUNNING. Standard Def is good but any apparent problems at this resolution is more to do with viewing poor source material on a 55inch TV. Sound is average, needs a sound bar.
Yes for $1500 or $2000 you'd get more uniform backlighting and superior white and black levels but the average viewer would struggle to see the difference unless they were side by side.
For those who want help here are the picture settings Ive found to be best:
Colour temp: Warm
Tint 47
Bright: 49
Contrast: 77...Read more

When was this model released?
Nick K.asked
How do I get Amazon Prime on this model ?
3 answers
You dont. Its not in the Google play store for this model. Im trying to find a way to download it myself.
Hi James, I rang TCL and they told me that the techs are currently designing a patch that will include Amazon Prime in the apps. Please leave your TV on auto update and it will download when available...believe it or not ???
In the meantime if you figure out a way to do it please drop me a line.
Cheers

Hi Nick & James,
I had the same problem, no Amazon prime or Disney+. I contacted TCL and they emailed me a link to a firmware update that you download and put on a USB drive to update. Followed their instructions and worked flawlessly, I now have both Amazon prime or Disney+
It took about a week for their reply, so be patient :-)

Had the pixelation with Netflix on both TVs. I reset the Netflix and that seemed to fix it.
