TCL 55P8K-UK 55" 4K 144Hz Gaming QLED Onkyo 2.1 Dolby Atmos Google TV with Dolby Vision & HDR 10+

Well initial impression is wow... It's SO much better than my previous LG and a million times better than my 4k Hitachi.The picture is bright and very clear when linked up to my Virgin cable box. The TCL channel also had some great high definition streaming videos etc.Sound is brilliant too. I've done away with my sound bar completely, as the rear sub on this TV allows you to have crisp voices yet a good rounded sound as well.... No tinniness.Google TV is fairly snappy, again much better than my previous one which struggled. This TVs interface(s) are generally very smooth without lag. Google TV does occasionally lag a little, but that's the platform rather than the TV itself.... It happens even on very expensive TVs with supposedly more powerful processors.I only have a few minor niggles...1. Trying to find the subtitles selection on digital TV (as they're on by default). That was a right faff.2. Viewing angle. The amazing picture gets slightly washed out if you move too much to the side...3. You can't remove the pre-installed apps. This wouldn't be an annoyance really as there's plenty of storage, however one of them is actually discontinued, so pointless being there.4. This is the only one that concerns me really... The vesa mounting holes... The top ones are nice and solid, giving plenty of support, presumably being attached to the inner frame. However the two lower ones seem to be attached to the plastic outer rear panel only , so it flexes... It seems to hold up ok, but I'm not sure how it would cope if you move the TV/mount regularly.So all in all very happy indeed, and considering buying another for my main room.

Why did you choose this product over others?:cost was the major consideration. Incredible price for the features. So easy to install. This 55 inch replaced a very tired 50 inch. and yet was lighter than the old tv.I am thrilled with the picture quality, and the construction quality. Well packaged and arrived very promptly. Thank you

A brilliant TV let down by Amazon delivery.As far as the TV goes the sound and picture quality is genuinely brilliant, for this price point I was not expecting the clarity you get. I've had Hisense TVs in the past and what with being cheap the sound is rather quiet and the picture being a bit hit or miss. One thing I will say up front is - if you are using this TV for terrestrial TV watching only the picture quality will be horrible. This TV is geared around streaming online content 1080p and upwards - definitely, 100% preferably 4k content. At that resolution this TV shines. It's simply down to how the TV encodes the image. It's not built for SD content.It's an extremely light TV so wall mounting was a breeze. This is my first Roku TV but have gotten used to the operating system & functionality of it, I've had no issues with it being laggy.I'm going to mark it down for the delivery though as it arrived with a sizeable dent in the top frame which is a real shame as I love this TV but all I can see when I look at it is the damage caused whilst in transit with Amazon or DPD (both were involved with the delivery). In closing - a fantastic TV, awesome picture, brilliant sound, damaged and let down by Amazon/DPD. A real shame, I will decide in the coming days if I will return it for a replacement.***I have decided to return the item as the damage found upon opening it just bothers me far too much, and you can see slightly discoloured bars going up the screen obviously where it's taken a sizeable knock somewhere in transit.

This TV is fine if you want to plug a device on the HDMI and use it as a big monitor. Other than that it should be avoided. I am guessing that you are looking for a TV so I will elaborate. It's easy to setup, you should be up and running in a few minutes. However, the advertised functionalities are not working.1. Chromecast: chromecast is not working with mac neither windows. The TV syncs with the casting device and after a few seconds flickers through frames having lost framerate sync.2. Lag/Stutter: While scrolling through the main menu the TV lags for no reason whatsoever, you press the arrow button once and then it either does not register or you are sent for options below on your tv list.3. Apps: The TV should not be allowed to have Android OS. Apps crash or do not work at all. VPN apps crash on the background after a few minutes and the TV hardware cannot handle streaming apps.The worst thing of all is that TCL is misleading customers by not disclosing that the C655K model sold in the UK *is completely different* than the models solde elsewhere e.g. Europe. This TV works with Android 11 and has a firmware from 2022 that will not be updated for customers in the UK. This is half TCL's issue and half Amazon's. They shouldn't be allowed to sell this without explicitly declaring the models' firmware status. Most reviews out there are for a different C655K firmware.My suggestion is to avoid this specific product. Do not be fooled by the price point or the "supposed" functionality. I returned mine after a few days.
