" ... Best moving picture box. ... "
" ... Picture and colors are great. ... "
" ... It's a beautiful TV, a beautiful image . ... "
" ... You won't get a better picture for this price. ... "
" ... The picture is superb. ... The picture quality—obviously depending on source—is wonderful. ... "
" ... Great value, great picture ... "
" ... Picture mode: Movie, Picture Size: Direct, Local contrast: Medium, Backlight: 2, Brightness: 49, Contrast: 77, Color: 49, Tint: -1 (reduces red push just a tad) ... The light you see in the four corners of the display in some of these pictures is actually an effect called Flashlighting which as I understand it is different. ... "
" ... The picture quality is nice compared to what I had been using before (BenQ RL2455HM gaming monitor, LG 1080p 24 inch IPS monitor), input lag in game mode is also very good (low enough) for games that require it like fighting games. ... "

" ... After 30 days of use - it's a first rate TV at a good price. ... "
" ... Love it can't beat the price an quality ... "

" ... I've watched one 4K UHD DVD from the Blu Ray player through HDMI (no flickering) and one streaming movie on Amazon through the ethernet (no flickering on that one either). ... "
" ... I don't own a UHD Blu-ray player with Dolby Vision yet, but it will be coming this year. ... "
" ... Great pic,HDR,DV and FALD does make a big difference. ... "
" ... and my favorite Roku channels all on the same screen. ... Pros: Easy set up - lightweight - great picture quality on antenna, cable, and especially on the streaming channels thru WiFi - crisp and sharp images on streaming channels - easy to use remote (in antenna mode use arrows to switch channels, there are no numbers on Roku remotes) - the audio is slightly better than average, the audio has a "speech" option which is good for seniors. ... "
" ... I don't yet have a UHD Blu-Ray player so my review will initially be based on 4K content from Amazon Prime Video. ... "
" ... At 3x ms input lag, this set is perfectly fine for a great gaming experiencing with 4k HDR. ... Netflix and Amazon offer many 4k/HDR options as well. ... I was surprised that I got a 4k tv for less than half of what I was originally going to spend on a 55 inch screen. ... If TCL sort this out, this will be the set I recommend to anyone currently in the market for a 4k TV. ... "
" ... It otherwise looks very nice, especially when viewing higher resolution content. ... "

" ... The 55P605 is near identical aside from an inferior remote. ... "
" ... The remote is compact and features a microphone so you can find shows using voice commands. ... "
" ... You can control the TV using the Roku app on your smartphone, and if you lose the remote, you can use the Roku app to make the remote play sounds to help you find it. ... "
" ... With the remote control (unique to the 607 model), you can do voice searches for shows or actors and you can plug in headphones to the remote. ... "
" ... I like the remote, and really like the integrated Netflix. ... "

" ... The black levels have always been great to me, & I bought VIZIO’s $150.00 36” Sound Bar (SB3621 n-E8) that comes with a subwoofer (Best sound bar for under $400.00) so that I could have enough incredible sound to match the incredibly great picture (a 36” sound bar rests perfectly in between the legs of this TV). ...

" ... This is clearly a manufacturing defect that seems to be present in quite a few of these TVs, and since the shipping box was not damaged, I believe is TCL's fault. ... "

Take out the the top piece of styrofoam, slide the tv out onto my bed, screw the two legs on, place on table. ... I have a feeling that some people might have attempted to lift it out vertically and squeezed too tightly around the edges, which could easily cause a backlight bleeding situation, or at least exacerbate it. ...

" ... The TV also has multiple HDMI inputs, one of which has ARC, so you can control the volume on your AV receiver using the TV remote. ... "
" ... - HDMI ARC provides full 5.1 surround for any native TV applications, but only stereo for anything else you are plugging into it. ... "
" ... Would like more HDMI ports, but for the year and price, this is a darn good deal. ... "
" ... I was able to eliminate an external HDMI switch, extra sets of audio cables that used to have to run to my receiver, and it eliminated the need to switch the video feed and the receive channel. ...
