For $250, it is not a bad purchase. Good overall picture quality and sound. It is also good with current generation console, as you can tap into 120hz via resolution halving. In other words, despite it being only a native 60hz panel, by reducing resolution to 1080p or 1440p on your consoles you can get 120hz in your games that support it. My only cons with the tv are that the OS is a bit sluggish at times and that there is a weird edge bleed all around the edges, creating a light, pulsating border.

Great TV for an amazing price! I bought this for $250 around Black Friday and I currently have no complaints. I’ve been using it for console gaming on the ps5. The colors are good and the input delay isn’t bad. My main love of the tv is the 120 hz, though it only hold 60 hz when you turn it on 4k resolution. The sound on the tv is awesome too, no need for extra speakers and/or soundbars.

My son's room just got a major upgrade. I'm seriously impressed! We snagged this 50-inch TCL QLED for $200 on sale. The picture is crystal clear, colors pop even with the sun streaming through the window, and it handles PS5 games like a champ. The refresh rate might not be bleeding-edge, but for everyday gaming and movie marathons, it's smooth as butter. Plus, the Google TV interface is a dream – all my favorite streaming services at my fingertips, and I can even control it with my computer mouse thanks to the USB port. Sure, the screen's a little glossy, but hey, for this price? Minor quibble. Honestly, this TV is a total steal, and it's definitely brought the entertainment level in my son's room up a notch. 10/10 would recommend! Even for your living room if you are looking at 50" TVs. Still worth it off sale, but at that point if you have a bigger budget there are better TVs for a couple hundred more. At $200 you'd be crazy to miss this!

The TCL 50" Class Q5 Q-Class 4K QLED HDR Smart TV has exceeded my expectations! The QLED display delivers stunning picture quality with vibrant colors, deep blacks, and sharp details, making every movie and show feel immersive. The 4K resolution combined with HDR enhances the viewing experience, especially for streaming high-quality content. I love the built-in Google TV interface—it’s easy to navigate, and the voice control with Google Assistant is super convenient for finding content quickly. Setup was simple, and there are plenty of ports for all my devices. It’s a fantastic value for the price, and I’m thrilled with how premium this TV feels. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a budget-friendly yet feature-packed TV!

This TCL 4K QLED TV offers solid value for its price, with vibrant colors and decent overall picture quality, but it falls short in brightness, which isn’t up to par for a QLED panel—making it less ideal for bright rooms. While it handles most tasks well, the TV can sometimes feel slow when navigating apps or menus, which may be frustrating for users seeking a seamless experience. Despite these drawbacks, it’s a good option for those on a budget who prioritize affordability over premium performance.

I’m very satisfied with my purchase. I didn’t need anything bigger or more expensive, so I shopped around online and found this unit at BestBuy. I watch movies, series, the news, and play music videos - I’m not a gamer. I think it has a fantastic picture and sound, and it’s easy to set up and use. No complaints.

This is an outstanding TV for the price. I usually buy another big brand but the price was too good on this one, so I picked it up. This is my first QLED TV and the picture is outstanding. The controls and remote work great; there was very little learning time required. I don't use the smart tv apps and features so I can't comment on those. I simply connected it to my network, my Apple TV and it has everything I need.

Upgraded to this TV from a ten year old HD TV. Takes the eyes a little bit to get used to, but I purchased a strip of back lights to help with that. Crazy how the picture quality differs with 4k, and after about a month of use I’m impressed with the physical quality. Came at a great price for the size and picture quality. I definitely recommend.

If you are looking for a budget gaming tv just go for it ! It’s has good color and clarity , I think it’s a deal breaker in that range of price. Not only gaming if you just want a tv to watch Netflix or similar stuffs go for it.

Like another reviewer we usually default to Samsung, LG or Sony. The salesman said check out this 50 inch TCL Qled Google TV, the size I was looking for. I can appreciate the bigger TV's but I don't like it to be the first thing you notice in the house. He said for the value and specs provided it really couldn't be beat. We are covered by our Total Tech umbrella service plan thru BestBuy so I thought what the heck. Glad I did. It's a really nice TV with a great picture. It's a Google TV so you just sign into your Google account and all your streaming apps go right on there. I will add a sound bar for listening to our music apps and gaming but the sound isn't bad at all if you don't use one. It has good bass and is adjustable for preference. I'm used to Samsung remotes, but I'll get the hang of this one in a short while which is user friendly. When in doubt I just push the Home button.

Excellent TV for the price! TCL provides updates to address issues such as menu lag and I haven't had much trouble with this compared to the Insignia TV which failed in just 2 years. I have this connected to my computer, which integrates well with the video card settings.

The TLC 50" Q5 is a very good option for anyone looking for good picture and sound quality without breaking the bank. Also a fine option as a large computer monitor; not perfect but hard to beat for the price.

I purchased two of these for a game room and they’ve been set up for about a month now. The picture quality is really nice and the refresh rate while gaming has been great, no complaints from anyone in the house. The colors on each tv look a little different in the photo because they were set by different people to separate game systems but when both TVs are playing the Apple TV it looks great. I want to get a soundbar installed because our surround sound system was too outdated to use with them but the sound quality from the TVs themselves is perfect in the meantime. It was our first time buying this brand and we have not been disappointed at all.

I got this tv on sale for $250 This is a great tv. Perfect for gaming! The QLED dispaly is really nice. The tv is easy to set up and use. I was lucky enough to get a quality product for the price I paid. I can't believe the value!. The TCL brand definitely surprised me. I think TCL is comparable to vizio in my opinion. I’m very satisfied with my purchase. I didn’t need anything bigger or more expensive, so I shopped around online and found this unit at BestBuy.

I think this is a great tv for the price. When thin objects move there is some motion blur sometimes, but thing like that are to be expected at this price point. The tv is also decently slow to respond to remote inputs, but this has never bothered me, and the input delay is minimal for gaming. The hdr mode makes the colors look very nice.
