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 may update this review in a few weeks, but I wanted to review a couple of key features that I was looking for when I opted to purchase this setup for those that are looking.My List: 1. Specs – Big screen size, mountable on wall, bold color – Check, check, check. I’ve got 2 other TCLs (32″, 55″) and this one is identical in all aspects. If you’re looking for an budget TV that outperforms it’s price tag, this is hard to beat. I’d get it again. 2. Physical Features – Wall mountable, light enough for me to lift (I’m a big guy but I was able to mount it myself), ethernet and/or wireless (has both)I already had a wall mount, plus ports behind the TV for cables and ethernet (wired through attic) so it plugged in neatly and hides wires easily behind. Ethernet set up was automatic and first start up updated the software without my intervention. Perfect! 3. Software Features – Roku apps, easy input switching to Satellite or Live TV, other apps I use. Check. I love the Roku TV as the main home screen. I can add Xbox or Satellite TV or Cable or Live TV as inputs from the 3-4 HDMI connections and it’s as easy as launching the input, like you would to launch Netflix, to switch to that input. I have DirecTV as well and on my prior TV you had to hold the bottom right enter button down on the newer DTV remotes to pop up the inputs menu, arrow up to the right one and then click it. Easily 10+ seconds of annoyance. Now it’s a Roku remote arrow over and hit OK. It even previews the screen in the button window prior to hitting it. Nice extra. Now we get to my big 2 important wants and there is a hit and a miss (but it’s not TCL’s fault). 4. Integration with a Sound Bar, fewer remotes – check, check again. I bought this with the advertised Alto 7.1 on Amazon and it works great with the ARC HDMI #4 input on the back of the TV. You have to use that specific input and my TCL automatically sensed it and sync’d to it. Now when you click the volume on your Roku TV Remote, it doesn’t do the built in audio volume, instead it raises/lowers the Soundbar volume – One Volume! This soundbar also comes with a subwoofer that wirelessly pairs with the bar so you plug in the soundbar to power, HDMI to TV, mount it on the wall, plug the subwoofer in to a lower outlet behind your entertainment center, set the subwoofer off to the side and you’re all set with very few wires. I would add that mounting the soundbar was pretty dang easy as it came with a life sized paper template to mark where you quickly drill molly sized holes, put in screws, and hang the sound bar. Minutes at most unless you’re like me and want to level the heck out of everything. Then a few more minutes. Ok, so what was the miss? Because I have DirecTV, even with the cool single Roku TV remote controlling both Roku and soundbar (down from 2 remotes to 1 there!), I have to use the satellite remote to control DirecTV when I switch to that input. In the past, you could program your DirecTV. TCL was not listed on the brands of TVs, I’ve tried with several of the codes based on internet posts and none worked for me and this TV. So I have to keep the Roku remote handy for volume while on satellite. I blame DirecTV for not setting up a code but maybe one day they’ll have one. If someone knows the right code for the non-Genie DirecTV + TCL 65″ TV, post it in the questions, I’ll watch for it. As I use other features I may update.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

This tv makes a first good impression out of the box with the metal frame, the stand is made out of solid metal, and is solid. The screen quality is amazing, the darks are amazing even though it’s a QLED, and not a OLED, or MINI led, HDR10 looks amazing, but Dolby Vision is breathtaking, 4K is amazingly clear, and you can be far away from this tv, and see a difference, you can see a difference 2 feet away from the tv, and the experience from 2 feet away is great. I got the 50 inch though. The speakers are great for built in speakers. If you use action smoothing don’t turn it above medium, the frame rate drops will make you throw up during action scenes, medium action smoothing doesn’t have this problem, and it still creates a breathtaking experience. I went from a 1080p HD VIZIO to this, and I can recommend this tv to anyone. It’s a $750 tv for $400 basically. The only thing I will say is Roku, can you fix the frame rate drop problems in action scenes while using action smoothing on high?

If you want an honest, expert opinion, read on. There are too many great products being put down because customer service is in India or China. And one star reviews from people who don’t follow simple instructions! To qualify my opinion, my attached pictures are of two streaming channels I own. Why is that important? Because I was there when the shows were made, saw the scenes with my eyes, and now see how they look on this TV. Who else writing a review can compare a movie or show like that? None, but boy are they experts… And, I showed a sample of the 4K Amazon original of American Playboy. That is important too. I worked for Playboy when I was younger and was there when many of the scenes in the series were originally filmed. I was a photographer there and know how the people and places look.I think that helps me give a valid opinion of this set, and TCL. The qualified opinion I offer is that for the money, this is a really excellent TV. There is another brand that had been offering Roku powered sets, but they’ve switched to the they pay-nothing-for Android TV and I will never recommend using anything with Google attached to it. TCL uses the simple, elegant anyone-can-use Roku TV interface. It’s a perfect way to access all media, and Roku has been doing streaming TV longer than any other company and it’s a perfect choice.Now, with all of that out of the way, this is a review of the TCL Series 5, 75” set.You may as well move into one of the empty movie theaters! The screen is gigantic. This is a massive set, and because it’s enhanced 4K, even walking right up to it you don’t see dots/pixels. I wrote a book on assembling a home theater, and the rule has been you need a set that’s not too large or sit too close (as in HD TVs) because you could see the pixels. Forget that! With such high resolution and no visible pixels, you can sit 6-8’ from this giant screen and enjoy an immersesive, movie theater-like experience. That’s the beauty of 4K. Many streaming channels offer 4K versions of TV and movies. If you hook up an antenna (which I’d recommend over any form of cable or satellite) as digital broadcast TV is amazing 4K quality now. I have a 4K disc player and 4K discs are stunning. Best of all, since I have a broadcast video camera, I can watch pure, uncompressed 4K video right from the camera and it like being there.The 5 series presents 4K in the way it’s intended. Ultra High Definition when available, DolbyVision, and does a great job of lighting the screen evenly with very high contrast (the most important factor) and uses contrast zones in real time. My last attached picture shows how each type of input can be set for color, brightness, contrast and audio. If you need to adjust for lighting conditions, it makes that task fairly easy.4K TVs like this have massive computing power. They are processing millions of pixels on the screen about 120 times a second, and adjusting for your settings and input sources. They are more powerful than most computers when you realize what they are doing.Back to the TCL, it just has a great picture quality, and combined with the price it’s a home run. If it were more expensive, I’d still choose it. The picture quality is excellent and it has Roku. It’s good looking and easy to setup. There are always reviews about people who can’t get anything to connect to the Internet. I had no problems there. It instantly found my network SSID, I entered my password and it updated itself and in less than 10 minutes I was off and watching things.Now, the things that you need to consider. First, it huge. Measure where you’re going to place or hang it. It is about 65” wide and that’s quite a span. Next, it weighs about 100 pounds. I paid the extra money to have Amazon delivery carry it in and up a flight of stairs. Anything in the manner of placing it or unpacking it is a two-strong-person job. It’s not hard to do, it’s simply heavy. Finally, and this is for any TV using streaming services such as Amazon Prime or Netflix, you do need unlimited, genuinely high-speed Internet. I think 40gbs is about right. If you have 10-20tbs you’ll be okay, but you won’t see 4K most likely as the service provider will stream HD quality as they know your connection speed. I have gigabit speed and if you can get it and afford it, you’ll never see a pause in what you’re watching.The test of picture quality is detail in the darkest shadows, and highlights not washed out going pure white. The black images/areas need to look black — not gray. This set has excellent contrast. It’s hitting the marks for what you should expect from a high-end 4K TV no matter who makes it. It’s good.I didn’t choose the series 6. It costs a good percentage more and you reach a point of more video quality features on the screen than the media being seen on your TV actually has. The 6 series is good for gamers and sports as the screen refreshes 240 times a second so a tough call, but I don’t game or watch sports so the Series 5 simply had a more pleasing picture for my tastes.For this size, the quality of the image, the benefit of being a Roku set, and at just a few cents short of a grand, this is a winner and I highly recommend it. As mentioned at the start, I was able to watch Video I filmed and it gets a thumbs-up from someone who knows how the picture should look.
