TCL 50" 4-Series 4K UHD HDR Smart Roku TV with 50S455 Model | Perfect for Home Entertainment

M M: We have had this TV a few months now, it’s set up in our finished basement. There are no complaints. Set up was easy, it arrived quickly with no damage, picture and sound are fine. I would recommend this product

A. Jarry: 4K doesn’t look radically better. I can see the caked makeup on newscasters, though. QLED, OLED…maybe better, but some have complained about it’s triple highlight ‘soap opera” effect. It’s big enough. I don’t like the tiny remote, and can’t find the on/of switches on the set. Sound quality is good. Much better than my old Vizio. I don’t have to crank it up. What I don’t like is that you can’t directly go to live tv anymore. It must be true of all tvs nowadays. I have to go through several places to click on. Why can’t they just consolidate like they used to? I think ROKU is probably the best, less complicated, and smooth running streaming. Smartcast, Fire, Tizen are a mess. The face of the ROKU is clear, not cluttered like a Tizen would be. I think complanies are starting to focus on Os or Google (yuk), and you can’t seem to find many systems that use ROKU but you can use a plug in or whatever it’s called

Ziminy13: I am impressed. I've had it a week. The picture is very nice. It was very very easy to set up. Multiple ways to activate the Roku, you can use your cell phone, an app or your email. Plug it in and it works. I also use it as a computer monitor, which only required me to plug in my HDMI cord and good to go. The remote is very simple and very straight forward.

It gives off no heat that I can feel, even after being left on for 24 hours straight, I can not feel any heat coming from the screen or the back of the TV. That means no wasted electricity going into heat, and for a Floridian like myself, no heat that my air conditioner needs to work to dissipate. My old flat screen would heat up my room very quickly and I always had to run the A/C on a lower temp to keep the room cool. A lot of electric savings on this. Tag says $10 a year for 5 hours a day of use. That's really good.

The frame is about 1/2" and feels sturdy. I did not want one of these frameless TV's where you have to be afraid to even touch it or it can be ruined. I dont intend to throw it around, but it doesnt feel delicate. It is EXTREMELY light weight. The box felt empty at first when I picked it up to bring...

heather d: I decided to replace my old TV with a Smart TV so I can cast photos and video from my phone and use Apple Fitness Plus workouts at home. I wanted the biggest picture I can fit in my old built-in cabinet, and this TCL 50" Roku smart TV is perfect. I have used a Roku device for years, and it's the same remote, so convenient, no learning curve. The picture comes all the way to the edge of the screen, which makes it seem much bigger than my old TV. It works perfectly with my iphone and Apple AirPlay, and all my apps like Netflix and YouTube. It was delivered on the date promised, well-packaged, easy to put together and start using, a great value.

Ed Gruberman: Hoping this helps with your decisions.

So, wish we had vid/pic the product to post along with this review. Package was in the simple original carton only. That said, UPS handled it very well as there were zero damage or wear to the carton at all & we gladly accepted the delivery.
The carton gave instructions on how to open the TV the easiest and safest. It was inner wrapped in plastic with an additional thick foam and cardboard shield between the carton and protected screen.
Every item was attached to find easily & no loss or damage.

The set itself is a great economical entry/midrange tv. Picture is on par and the bundled Roku software lends many viewing options. Wireless network setup on TV is easy especially bc we knew our password. Its not clear if any push to connect option was available as we don’t allow that option on our residential wireless. Hardwire network option is available, though our wireless is substantial to hold and serve many endpoints.
Updates were automatically verified and then the Roku app setup begins with simple date time and zipcode verification. If you are familiar it is identical as a external Roku setup. If not familiar,...
