Description

The 5-Series marries superior 4K UHD picture quality with Dolby Vision HDR for a stellar imaging experience. The 5-Series’ HDR Dynamic Contrast technology uses information embedded in the Dolby Vision content to optimize every scene for an accurate display of details in the bright and dark areas simultaneously, unlike other HDR formats that have a set brightness level for all content. The 5-Series models’ iPQ Engine provides precise color replication while HDR Pro Gamma significantly improves HDR performance in any setting. A clean, contemporary design is made possible with TCL's FullView edge-to-edge glass display that blends seamlessly into your viewing experience. A dark finish and jewel eye power button lend additional style and sophistication to your home theater. The award-winning Roku TV smart platform provides seamless access to over 500,000 movies and TV shows through a simple, intuitive interface. No more flipping through inputs or wading through complicated menus. All your favorites are at your fingertips from the instant you turn it on. Choose from thousands of streaming channels plus live sports, news, music, kids and family, food, science and tech, fitness, foreign language, and so much more.

  • Three years later, still going strong
Size: 50 in Style: TV Only
This TV has been great, it has been on 24/7 for the last 16 months and used for the last three years. Literally nothing else wrong with it at all. I even have external hard drive hooked up to it with media, that it plays via the Roku media player.

  • Outrageous Value
Size: 55 in Style: TV Only
I'm writing this review from the perspective of someone whose last TV was 11 years old (40" LCD flat screen) That means absolutely everything is better than my last one. I'm not a pixel peeper, so instead I'm going to talk about the value and address some concerns from the point of view of someone who isn't comparing this TV side-by-side with like-priced models. Let's get one thing straight: I gave this TV 5 stars because it is a terrific value. I honestly don't know how this level of experience is delivered for this low of a price and I can only hope its durability is such that it will last many years. Display: If you're looking for your friends to be absolutely wowed by the picture on your TV I hope you don't think you can get away with spending $350. More likely is they'll be shocked when you tell them it was only $350! I was concerned because I saw a bunch of reviews say the viewing angles were terrible. I honestly don't know what they're looking at or what their expectations are, but I wouldn't want to watch a whole movie at more than a 45 degree angle from the screen, anyway. (A note: I have a 500sqft apartment so the 55" TV is dominating in size and there's limited seating) Sound: It's not offensive, but it's not great. However, I suspect that anyone buying a 55" TV for a living room already expects to provide supplementary speakers. I will say I have an old set of computer speakers w/ sub-woofer and they provide great sound even just plugged into the headphone jack on the TV, so this needn't be an expensive or high tech endeavor. Remote: This is the worst part of the whole experience. Prior to buying this TV I had a Roku Streaming Stick+ and the TV remote is made of cheaper plastic, it's a flimsier build, the play/pause button is smaller, and it doesn't have the rubberized coating of the SS+ remote. It may also be IR(?) whereas the SS+ remote is all RF, so you have to point the TCL Roku TV remote at the TV for it to register input. I strongly advise spending the $20 or so to replace the default remote but it's not as high of a priority as the speakers, probably. (Personally I was able to pair my Roku SS+ remote with my new TV so that is what I use) Roku: As a smart TV platform this is the best I can imagine. It's the most widely supported TV/OS platform on the market and therefore nearly every app will be developed for and available on your TV. This means you'll likely not need to buy or install any additional streaming devices in your HDMI ports (I have a Chromecast installed but I already owned one). Antenna use and Live TV Pause: The antenna reception is excellent. There may be a sizable internal antenna helping out here because I get way better reception on this TV even when using my old antenna Live TV Pause of antenna use is available. I haven't tried it, but it says if you put a 16GB or larger thumb drive in the USB port the TV will provide up to 90 minutes of buffer for pausing live TV over antenna. That's neat and something I didn't see advertised. In summary: Whatever shortcomings there are here are appropriate and acceptable for a $350 55" TV in 2020. Those shortcomings are overcome-able and for minimal additional cost. All of the structural things that you can't change or upgrade are solid (mainly the display and TV platform). ... show more

  • Tips to program a different (better) Roku remote and have only one remote to control the TV
Size: 55 in Style: TV Only
My review is more about the remote than it is about the TV because we just received the TV today. We are not perfectionists about color or sound, but the 55" TV seems to be great for our purposes. We put it in the bedroom and it's about 13 feet from our viewing area so we needed a screen large enough to read from that distance. This TV does that perfectly. Because this is a Roku TV it comes with a Roku remote and streaming ability inside the TV (saving you from having to buy a Roku streaming stick separetly). However, the Roku remote that comes with the TV is much worse than the remote that comes when you purchase a Roku streaming stick. For starters, the TV's remote has no microphone so you can't use voice commands. Second, it is a slick plastic-y thing that doesn't have the nice grip on the streaming stick's remote, which makes a big difference when you're fumbling around in the dark trying to use the controls. I hated it so much that I used a Roku streaming stick I already had and paired it to the new TV which allowed me to use the much better remote that came with the streaming stick. However, I really wanted to avoid having to use more than one remote - one to change channels and another to turn the TV on and off. After digging around a bit I found a way to do that. First, you need to pair your streaming stick Roku remote to the TV (google how that is done - quite simple). Next, you need to tell the TV to use your streaming stick Roku remote to turn the TV on and off (instead of using the remote that comes with the TV). This is done in the TV's settings. Here's a great article on how to do just that. https://support.roku.com/article/115013019828 In case the link above breaks, simply go to your TV's settings, click Remotes & devices, then click Remote, then click Set up remote for TV control. This allows you to turn the TV on and off with the same remote you use to change channels. Finally, when you turn the TV on with the newly programmed remote it looks for you to click the source of the port where the streaming stick is plugged. It just sits on the that HDMI icon. At first I thought I was would be stuck using the TV's remote to click the HDMI icon (clicking with my programmed remote didn't work.) TLC's website has information on how to program the TV to automatically accept the HDMI port but their information is out of date. All you need to do is click one of the arrow buttons (other buttons may work but I know the arrow buttons work). So now you can turn on the TV, click an arrow button, and voila - you can use a much better Roku remote than what comes with the TV. I'm a technological clueless grandma and I made it work, so anyone can. The TV was delivered on time and was packaged very well. The stand has small rubber grips which makes it fairly stable, but I wouldn't rely on just those little feet if I were placing the TV on a piece of furniture and doing aerobics in front of it. ... show more
