TCL50C645K 50-inch QLED Television, 4K Ultra HD, Android Smart TV (Game master, Dolby Atmos, Freeview Play, Motion clarity, Hands-Free Voice Control, compatible with Google assistant & Alexa)

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.

I have a TCL Roku 40 inch tv but wanted a bigger one for the living room. I went for the 50 inch and it’s a year newer model. This one is a QLED UHD and the picture quality is brilliant. Very sharp and the colours are perfect. Great depth and no horrible luminous oranges and reds for example. The sound quality is also brilliant. I tend to set it to Theatre mode. The main reason i wanted this tv after having one already is the ease of the menu and accessing apps. It has all of the streaming apps you need and you can add more easily. My sister bought a TCL android and whilst i don’t doubt the settings/features are good, i set it up for her and it just felt like there were too many. That and it requires you to sign into Google to download apps. Roku is more user friendly. Unless you’re a big tech know-it-all who could spot any flaws, you won’t have any issues with the picture, sound or performance of this tv. For the quality and price, this tv will suit most people. Why spend more? Good delivery experience by the company AITHD who brought it into my house for me. They kept me up to date with the delivery date and time. It was free - much better than the delivery cost from other suppliers. I highly recommend this tv.

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.
