TCL 50S5K-UK – 50” Full HD Smart QLED Direct LED TV with Android TV​ & HDR - Compatible with Google Cast & Google Home, Slim Design

Really great TV and the price was great too.Have Prime and Netflix on the remote and many other programmes as well.Smashing picture and sound,colours ideal,many programmes I haven't used yet and hopefully in the future I will. Yo if you need a TV then give this one a try first and you will not be disappointed I am sure.Good value for the money.

Fantastic quality tv for the price, I brought this expecting not so good quality and dull display however I was stunned to find that it was easy to install and genuine fantastic display, audio and immersive visually stunning colours, similar to that of my £1000 Oled Tv. Overall a great purchase for my bedroom, however it can be slow at times but what more can you ask for a tv this cheap but so effective in delivering a great movie night.

I bought this to use in a studio space, primarily for monitoring cameras when filming, but also to use for recreational viewing.I picked this model for the price and the supposed image quality, and it's a solid offering at the price point.Despite all the image quality claims, it's still a fairly basic display with basic backlighting, and that shows with some bleeding in areas (photos attached to my review). But, again, in the context of a 50" TV at this price? I'm still amazed.One of the things I really like about this TV is the software. It's like using a computer - switching between apps, it often remembers where you were and the apps load super fast. This is in contrast to a Roku system I have at home which does none of these things.I've found the start up time from cold (i.e. off at the mains) to be perfectly fine, too.The speakers are kind of lousy but that's to be expected. I bought a £40 sound bar to pair with this and it's made a world of difference.Overall, then, four stars. Great software, decent enough display, a star off for that backlight bleed.

This is a Fire TV, as stated, with the Freely app built in, which can be accessed independently of the Fire TV menus via dedicated buttons on the remote. The TV remembers were it was at last shut down and restarts in the same place, so avoiding the need to reload Freely every time. Pressing the home button does take you to the Fire TV menu which is nice and useful for those who prefer finding content that way.The TV is mostly very good with decent images and good sound, both of which can be tweaked extensively in the settings to suit your own tastes and within its hardware parameters, which I found necessary for the preset start-up pictures.The picture quality varies depending on the source of the images and the type of images being displayed. HD images and above are mostly excellent, while SD broadcasts are a mixed bag with those from Freely streaming much better than those from the built in aerial tuner, which aren't so good by often looking a little fuzzy. SD aerial inputs from external sources can look better depending on the device being used.Freeview isn't built-in to the set, but is replaced by Freely which currently doesn't have all the freeview channels. Freely reorganises some of freeview's channel numbers which you have to get used to.The HD broadcasts from the aerial, which are splendid, are allotted to the lowest channel numbers and don't need the internet to work, unlike the Freely SD broadcasts that immediately follow them.The SD broadcasts from the aerial are allotted to the higher channel numbers - from around 150 on, and on my 55 inch screen, don't look as good as the duplicated ones from freely streaming (at the lower channel numbers) which arrive at the set slightly behind the aerial's ones.These live freely streaming channels along with the on-screen TV guide and catchup TV won't work without a decent Internet connection, but do work with just WiFi, without an aerial, which makes channel surfing live-streaming broadcasts much easier than with freeview play and separate apps.The sound from the internal speakers is fairly good and quite acceptable for general viewing with the option to make lots of adjustments in settings.Connecting to an external speaker via Bluetooth caused lip-syncing issues, as often happens with many TVs, but here in the settings the sound or picture is delayable, bringing dialogue back in sync, which I was surprised to see on a budget TV.The remote control is nice to hold and easy to use with with good in-hand feedback from button presses. There is a slight response delay from the TV at times which is something you can get used to.You would have to place it side by side with higher spec/priced TVs to be fully aware of it's HD/UHD picture and sound shortcomings. But as a standalone offering, it's hard to fault.As none of the TVs weakneses are overly distracting or irritating, I think it represents really good value for money at its current price point and is certainly a tv that you could easily live with.

Very easy to set up, it does all the updates it needs to when it is switched on for the first time. Remote control is responsive.The picture quality is good and the sound is clear.. for a tiny speaker. It's ridiculously tiny sounding, it's like listening to headphones turned up and you're next to whoever is wearing them. I got an Amazon Soundbar and it fixed that and the combination work well as the TV HDMI cable controls the Amazon Soundbar without having to fiddle with the Soundbar remote.In summary, a good TV for the price, just expect to buy a Soundbar on top of it.

Got the 65inch. Great TV for price with all apps including BBC iPlayer and freely with fire TV working great. But if people are noticing channels not coming up or disappearing, like I did, after a couple of days, of working great. Have you got a TV licence? Bcz as soon as I got 1 it all came back within a few days. Everything is now working great.. BBC iPlayer has got some great UHD TV series in 4k Prime and Netflix can be fixed to come through in 4K Dolby and Dolby Atmos. Through an extra 4K fire stick streaming works brilliantly. And can be set to come through in 4K constantly or best available. Freely comes through the router not the Ariel. 1 or 2 channels still need the Ariel. But that's it. Like 'Really'!. You could tune in a set top box. And get normal TV in a good picture. But not get freely tv. But TV licence solved all my problems. Great picture in HD. Even better when you know its 4k.
