TCL 55" Class 4-Series 4K UHD HDR Smart Roku TV - 55S41

The walmart delivery driver had this tv in a small sedan car, half in the trunk and half in the cab. It was screen down with other walmart delivery boxes on top. After unboxing it, I spotted scuff marks on the lower right corner, along the bottom, the along the left side and from the corner about three inches in along the top. Most of these spots should've been encased in the hard foam packaging that TV's are delivered in. The marks almost look like fingerprints but, using a camera lens cleaning cloth they would not clear. I have no idea what caused the marks but, would like a replacement. Only now that the sale is over and the item is sold out I doubt that is a choice. Receiving a screen with scuff marks is a major let down. I had high hopes to enjoy this yet, this is another Black Friday sale where Walmart has ruined my purchase. Last year I bought three of the same 75" TV's at seperate times and all three were in beat to death boxes. I didn't even try to remove them and see what the damage was inside. Only had the choice to return, not exchange. Walmart is desperately in need of hiring warehouse, store and delivery driver employees that take pride in what they do, are knowledgeable and take care of the merchandise. It should be common knowledge that you should never lay a flat screen with the screen down and never stack boxes on top. That's just asking for trouble. Buyer beware, you are better off picking something like a TV up yourself. That doesn't guarantee that it wasn't damaged in a 18 wheelers trailer in commute. I've worked on a dock and have seen TV's not secured in Walmart trailers that were tossed around like a deck of cards. Ive also seen a TV that had a unsecured canoe pierced in it resembling a dart in a dartboard. In the past the DFW walmart warehouse did not care how they loaded a trailer, that may still be the case. Remember you take your chances when you order high dollar TV'S. In this day and age, no one is going to take more care of your purchase than yourself.

bought this tv for my 89 yr old grandmother for the black friday deal that was early for plus members on 11/7/22. picked up tv today (11/9/22). upon opening the box and plugging tv in screen is already broken somewhere called walmart CS and was told an exchange is not an option either refund or use the warranty i paid for. why would i want to use a warranty on something that was broken from the start. They apparently are selling broken tvs as ive seen other reveiws like this do not buy this! it is an extreme headache. my gram will now be without a tv for an extended period. i was told by tcl if theres any sign that damage was done by store it voids their warranty. just avoid the headache. Trust me. pic is screen from straight out of box.

Never owned a Smart TV but did own a smart DVD player, thought I'd give this one a try. Sadly found out that you need smart everything in order to hook up to this TV which is good since I do have a smart DVD player and a Roku device. lol Then again you also need a good internet hook up with fast speed which it might be better if your TV is hooked up directly to the router/internet connection found that out the hard way. You will need at least 5g otherwise you will get disconnected quite a bit. Navigating around the system is a bit tricky which makes me rethink just going back to a regular TV and just use my Roku and/or smart DVD player, less of a headache. Set up isn't too bad but just too many ways to get lost and it's not easy to just remove an app that you no longer want. But all in all you get what you paid for and is still a good TV.

We got the 55 inch TCL Roku TV it was easy set up just pulled it out of the box it came with two little feet to screw in on the bottom, comes with a remote and batteries to insert, we stuck the TV were I wanted it, and plugged in the cord where it went in the back of the tv and into the outlet. The TV did an update. I was walked through set up with setting up the WIFI, plugging in the email I want to use, if there are any components plugged in, and then was able to add apps that I wanted to add. The TV has 4k HDR and UHD built in to it. The components on the TV are a USB port, 3 HDMI ports, cable or antennae spot, auto in, adapter, headphones, fiber optic port, and Dual-band WiFi & Ethernet port. Easy voice control that works with Siri, Alexa, and Hey Google. Private listening with the free Roku mobile app if you want to use your headphones. You can use screen share to share videos, photos, and music from your apple device using AirPlay. I would recommend this TV easy to use, great visuals, and app friendly. You can use it in your living room, office, or bedroom. We are using it in our bedroom and love it!

This TV is amazing. It's a Roku TV which means it can access all of my favorite apps like abc, Pluto tv, Netflix Etc. And since I have small kids one of my favorite features is the USB port in the back which allows me to plug in a flash drive that holds all of their favorite movies( complete with thumbnail icons). The picture is really good and is 4K. It is super sharp and crisp on YouTube videos, live tv, and Blu-rays. My only complaint is I don't believe it has the audio leveling feature that my other Roku TV had so movies may get very loud to very quiet occasionally. I miss how the older models have the composite video jacks on the side but this one has a single port for that purpose but it requires an adapter that's not included. The TV is surprisingly light weight, but feels solid. Good for mounting. The viewing angle seems good even from the sides. The remote is nice and not overly loud and clicky like one of my other Roku TVs. I've had it for a few weeks and so far it has been very reliable and consistent and not giving me any problems so I highly recommend.

First off, any review placing this at a 1 star because you received the unit damaged in shipping is asinine. A shipping company mishandling your package has nothing to do with the quality of the TV, nor does it do anything to hamper the shipping company, who are the ones that actually deserve the 1-star review. For what you get from this television it's hard to find a competitor at this price, full stop. Only one, maybe two other companies make televisions with relative quality and features that are in this class. I upgraded from a 50" TCL Roku set to this one. The 50" unit I purchased in 2019 had nothing wrong with it, I just wanted something a hair larger for the bedroom and my son needed a replacement for his aging 32". That said, the majority of issues I had with that tv were fixed in this updated model. With my previous TCL tv my biggest issues were the backlight and the brightness level of HDR content. Of course, at these prices, you can't expect amazingly brilliant performance, but I always found myself not wanting to watch HDR content because the brightness just wasn't there. However, with this newer unit, the performance is much better. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that this television features a "full panel backlight" (a row of LEDs arranged in a strip across the unit) as opposed to the older one, which utilized edge-lit backlighting (the backlight LEDs sit in rows along the edge). The diffuse material layer also seems to be made of something far more even, as the light level distribution is more evenly distributed. This combined with a better display panel makes for a much more pleasant experience, one where I can be satisfied watching HDR content. Another thing I was impressed with was the black levels. Generally, on a tv in this class, you get fairly muddy blacks, with light bleed leaking through, but for the most part, the black separation was better than expected. The biggest caveat with these TVs is their adjustability vs convenience. For most people the amount of control you have is sufficient. Everything is very straightforward when it comes to setting up the image properties and it will be easy for almost anyone to adjust to their liking. The downside is that there just aren't any power user settings. You can't adjust individual color channel hues or saturations, there are no motion or refresh rate settings (although I see that as a plus, most motion enhancement systems are terrible) and you are generally limited to the basic range of things. That said, you can still get a great image out of it with relative ease. This really is a great tv for this price range. One last thing, people want to complain about the speakers, but almost any modern tv under a significant price range is going to have dinky little speakers. That's the price we pay for having super thin, lightweight tvs.

I got this TV to replace another smaller TV in my office. I decided that I was cutting the cord to cable and going to all streaming, however, my previous TV wasn't a smart version. This did the trick!! Now I can watch Netflix and Hulu in my office in the background while I work. The sound quality is excellent, as well as the picture. It was really easy to set up and I am incredibly happy with my decision. Now I just need to get a larger TV stand to accommodate this monster!

Very nice sturdy looking TV with lots of apps to offer, however, it has a common issue that i found out about after purchase. The HDMI ports are faulty and seems do not work especially to connect with cable boxes. No updates from TCL issued for a few years to this matter. Will have to return. Only had it 1 day.

I wall mounted this tv in my game room where kids watch most of the time. The mounting was pretty easieras its smaller and with all the tools it took about 20 minutes. I didn't expect the picture quality to be same as my other branded tv but when I turned it on, the quality was perfect. I also liked the smart tv options but sometimes I am noticing some audio-visual non- sync. Not sure if its because of internet or some other problem but overall this is a good quality smart tv with lots of options. Other thing I liked is the simple remote with a few buttons but lots of options. That makes it user friendly even kids can use it without messing up with options. Its perfect for my game room. Hope it stays the same for long time.

I bought this on early bird black Friday for $188. I have 3 other smaller TLC's and love them, so I couldn't wait for a new big TV for the family room. I picked it up from the store, drove home, took it out of the box and set it up. It was late but I couldn't wait to try it out! Wish I would have waited so I could have slept better! The color was really dark and it was on the brightest setting, and it wasnt responding to the remote right. It starting jumping around on the apps, then a computerized voice starting reading everything outloud! I couldn't get it to stop unless I muted it. I finally got a movie on, and it would play, then pause off and on, over and over! I changed the remote batteries and nothing. I finally unplugged it! Now it will not even turn on. Now I have to load it back into my car, drive an hour, return it because they're sold out, and be without a TV. What a joke!
