(Open Box) TCL 50" Class 4-Series 4K UHD HDR LED Roku Smart TV – 50S421

This is a very nice TV for the price. Are there better 4KTV's out there? Absolutely. But this is a great buy, worth its price. It's 4K with HDR, a built in Roku, an easy remote (that can be replaced for less than $10 if you lose it). It was so easy to set up right out of the box, however the tape/film around the screen was really hard to peel off in places. I already had a Roku account, so setting this up took about 10-15 minutes with updates and loading-on channels. The reason I went with this TCL Roku TV over another, cheaper brand was I heard the sound on this TV was much better, fuller than most TVs--and it doesn't disappoint. I have this in an average-sized bedroom and the sound is fantastic (not tinny, distorted, and no static or crackles). If I had this set up in a small living room, I think the speakers would be perfectly adequate, but for a medium to large living room, it would need a sound bar or surround sound set-up to carry through the room. The screen is bright and crisp (the only tweak to the picture I made was to turn the brightness down). This is my first 4KTV to replace a broken bedroom TV and I am not disappointed. I've researched 4KTV's for over a year for a dedicated home theater (not happening yet because of renovations), and a newer version of this TV was on my radar for awhile. This was a spur-of-the-moment buy and low-cost was the most important factor, then sound, and brand. I hooked up a 4K UHD Blu-ray player and an AppleTV 4K streaming box. Streaming in 4K is great. On Vudu, you can easily toggle a movie you own between 4K UHD, HDX, and SD and the differences between the two high-definition formats (to me, at least) are huge. On this TV, I would say that the AppleTV's streaming of 4K content is slightly better than Roku's, but the different is really negligible; and the AppleTV channel is included on the TV so you can access your Apple content without having another box and remote around. It is playing 4K UHD Blu-rays on the TV that blow anything streamed out of the water, the clarity and colors are nothing short of brilliant! I put in 4K blu-ray discs of Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II, and it was jaw-droppingly stunning! Several other movies were just as amazing. I also played the 4K disc of Gemini Man (filmed at a high-frame rate) and the TV handled it brilliantly, though the HFR was not exactly my cup of tea--too fluid and "live" looking. I would recommend this TV to anyone. For the price, features, and quality: it simply cannot be beat!

very good! delivery was super quick. (3 days) impressed with the quality of the picture. light weight makes it easy to put on a stand. good sound. hope my husband likes his surprise! we love samsung, but this is just as impressive. It makes a good comparison, maybe a step down from the lovely samsung products, but for the price and quality, I'm impressed and very pleased. Look at detail in photos I took.
