TCL 55" Class 4-Series 4K UHD HDR Smart Android TV - 55S434

LetLets start with Whats Good about this television. My particular one is the 55 inch. From top to bottom. The bezel is nice , thin and almost unnoticeable when the TV is playing. The stand is the typical right and left pair of legs( Be sure the longest dimension points towards the front the instructions arnt clear on that) The TV itself is not heavy at approximately 25 pounds and is well supported. The standby light is a nice soft white glow and not the common intrusive red. Moving onto the right side facing, all necessary inputs are there except for the typical RCA input. There are three HDMI inputs which is quite nice. Easy access. If youre not familiar with this type television allow yourself about a half hour learning curve, But if youre in a hurry you can be watching television five minutes after you plug it in! The chrome cast is quite handy, however realize not everything will cast. The sound is excellent, I have this in a room approximately 11 x 12 and there was no need for a stereo in that room. (You would expect tinny sounding small speakers, But you can get room filling sound from this set.) A very nice feature I will mention at this point is the opportunity to turn off the display and just listen to a music channel, you can get room filling sound from this set. thats very handy for YouTube and others. The display returns with the push of any button on the remote. While Im on the subject of the remote I will say the remote could be a little bigger But you can get used to it. Im a big fella With big hands but I have no problem with it, but bigger would be nicer. The buttons are responsive and raised. The picture is absolutely amazing. If you are into high contrast and visual clarity , This will put a smile on your face. . Youre really have to see it to believe it. I dont write many reviews but this television deserved one, the pluses are numerous andthe minuses are few. I bought it with a 4 year maintenance agreement only because I was not familiar with this brand and I dont know how it will hold up as I have had it approximately three weeks. But I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

This TV replaced a 5 year old TV that suffered a lightning strike surge. It is 55 inch versus the 43 inch it replaced, yet still manages to be lighter. I am very happy with the Android operating system and it's vast number of apps that it is capable of utilizing. I read in another review that someone was dissatisfied with the screen brightness, but this just isn't an issue with the unit we received. It's only been a couple weeks since I installed it so I just don't have much history with it, but so far I gotta give it 5 stars.
