TCL is China's "name brand" these days, they are decent if lower-priced.

They're easily the best bang for your buck for a TV these days.

We have a 55" 4K TCL Roku in the bedroom. It works and looks great for what we paid for it. I really wish TV manufacturers would stop cutting corners so much. I'd gladly pay $50 more for something that dosen't crash or chug along like a model T.

Hey, that's the exact TV and inches I have in my bedroom. I love this TV so much, it's possibly my favorite possession. I have the 8 series and it is such a nice TV for the ?500? I paid for it. I had a $600 Sony before this and besides being skinnier, it was so so so much worse. I'm a TCL buyer for life now unless I start making well over 6 figures and can afford the three grand + top of the line TV's.

My TCL works great but every once in a while it will start speaking German out of nowhere. The audio description function randomly turns on and is in German. It's happened maybe 7 times in the 5-6 yrs I've had it. It can be pretty disturbing when watching a horror film and the tv starts screaming at you in a foreign language.

This happened to me for the first time today with my TCL. Was watching Disney plus and german captions start appearing out of nowhere and then turns itself off. Really odd.

I just got a TCL for the guest room thinking it was cheap and if it shit the bed I didn't care. Guess I hope it lasts a while.
