TCL 49" Class 4K Ultra HD (2160p) Dolby Vision HDR Roku Smart LED TV (49S517)

I found light intensity and contrast very good for this tv. Sound quality much better than expected. Smart TV features very easy to use. I found the TCL company much larger than expected and the tv was rated just below some Samsung models but at half the price. Only had tv 10 days. So far so good.

Box Arrived in very good condition. All features are working. TV, Roku apps, PC etc. Responsive interface. Enjoying 4k experience. Uses less power than 1080p set it replaced.

This is my 2nd TCL 49 inch 4k TV one in the bedroom and this new TCL in the living room. This latest TV included Dolby Vision and great picture for watching 4k movies. The Wamart staff at my local store were courteous and friendly when I picked it up.

Great picture for the money so far everything is working great but my Dish Tec. had a problem hooking up my receiver to the TV, he couldn't get it to receive the signal from the box so he hooked my old TV up. I decided to try it after he left and had it working less than 5 minutes after he left by hitting the reset button on the TV. I have a Visio sound bar hooked up with it.

Best picture for the price! Paid $300 The model 495S17 has a better remote and is worth it in my opinion comparing to the 495S15. Only $20 difference. 5 series TCL is way better than the 4 and not much difference from the 6 series which would cost $700+.

This TV has been great so far, great picture, works well. The sound could be better, but other than that very happy with my purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best tv for gaming I have ever used. But it is unfortunate TCL tv hardly produce parts to fix their products. My screen got bad and could not find a replacement. This makes the products very bad for African market.

While it may not be as brilliant or sharp as a Sony for twice the money, but at $400 this is a good buy. Secondly, it will reduce your Bluray player to a point where it will only be useful for playing your DVDs. Smart TV offers all the basic subscription streamers like Amazon Prime, VUDU, Netflix, PBS, Discovery, History, Youtube, to name a few, they're all there, plus hundreds of other sites covering literally every topic you can think of. I do like TCM. Aps are easy to install, move around and uninstall, of which I've been doing a lot as I pick and choose. Just be aware that for many sites you will have to Activate them to recognize your TV by entering a code into their websites using a computer, smart phone etc. As far as Ads, it's your choice to live with the Ads, or pay a monthly subscription fee to avoid them. Sound quality is decent, but if you're an aficionado, external speakers will be necessary. While the mounting brackets are solid, they're 37 inches apart for this set, so if the set isn't wall mounted, a surface of at least 40 inches minimum should be used. At this point, the one negative is the Remote control. It's functionality is as basic as you can get. An upgraded one can be purchased separately.

Vibrant color and clarity... the voice operated remote is great !..only shortfall so far is the total lack of written instructions. Pass on this one unless you have computer/electronics savvy....and you don't have HDMI outputs on the devices you want to connect to it.

Disappointed. The HDMI ARC does not communicate with my Sony theater surround-sound, so I only have the poor quality speakers on the TV. Contacted customer service and they don't know why their components don't work. They suggested putting in composite cables...ummmm, I guess.
