In October, I was on the hunt for a 4K TV upgrade. I was looking to see, if I could find a good, smart 4K by Samsung, Sony LG or Vizio. Then, I looked at reviews on various 4K TV’s on Amazon, cnet, and rtings of those common brands I mentioned for mid-range 4K TVs under a grand and was not impressed. Then, I stumbled upon the unfamiliar 55s405 by TCL, which I perceived, as a generic brand. However, I saw a TON of good reviews on the TV. Additionally, I saw many YouTube videos and decided to purchase this 4K TV. Later, I learned about the 55p605 and found it to be more superb and decided to swap. I was impressed hearing about the many features of the p605, such as, Dolby Vision HDR, 72 HDR Contrast Control Zones, Advanced LED Phosphor with Wide Color Gamut and of course, a Roku platform to stream many channels. I also found out, the p605 was a great gaming gaming TV. What was more shocking is the p605 has ALL of these features for only a six-hundred dollar price-tag. With that being said, is this TV a steal or a too-good-to-be-true, dud? 4K RESOLUTION: The resolution of the p605 is surprisingly superb. The default display shows in 4K UHD. The close-ups on objects, humans, etc. on the display is just phenomenal because of the detail and clarity. The display allows images to be seen, very clearly, as if watchers of the TV were there. For example, I was watching a documentary on Netflix. I saw the image of the people, very clearly. On some scenes, I could see the pores on the person’s skin. I could see every spot on the windshield, when they were in the car. It was like I was in the car with that person. Watching sports has the same effect, especially football. Seeing the field, horizontally is one thing. However, seeing the close-ups of the players is a whole different thing. Amazing color and clarity. The p605 has a 120hz refresh rate, but it is not quite the SOE (Soap Opera Effect) that many 120hz TVs have. In addition, users will see 60hz on the display by pressing the OK button on the remote. However, on moving objects, there is little to no judder or blurriness of moving objects. I have seen many footballs thrown, while watching games and saw no outside motion (blurriness, judder) of the ball. That is where the 120hz kicks in. 72 HDR CONTRAST CONTROL ZONES: This is aka full-array local dimming (FALD). This feature allows the TV to automatically brighten or dim the backlight behind those individual zones, providing better contrast and deeper blacks. It balances out, perfectly. No bleeding, grainy, fuzzy blacks or oversaturated white displays. From what I discovered, while watching, that is why the close-ups on the display look, as good, as they do. Users can manually adjust one of the two contrast settings, which is Local and Dynamic. Both cannot be used at the same time. In addition, users can turn them off, completely. HDR/DOLBY VISION/WIDE COLOR GAMUT: HDR (High Dynamic Range) is the bread and butter of this tv. It is to make for better contrast, increasingly vivid colors and brighter images. In other words, with HDR, those dark images or edges on the display will show, brighter. The p605 has a wide array of colors aka Wide Color Gamut that works with HDR to enhance colors x2. In other words, with HDR, those dark images or edges on the display will show, brighter. Most of the time, Dolby Vision HDR will not be seen, unless I watch Netflix or other streaming sites. Netflix has movies and or shows, presented in Dolby Vision HDR or Ultra HD 4K. Dolby Vision HDR shows crystal-clear and unbelievably sharp. However, the display is kinda dim, depending on what is watched. I found that many 4K TVs, which has HDR modes, actually has that for a cinematic, viewing experience. Anytime a user, first turns on a program that is Dolby Vision or HDR, the corresponding icon will automatically flash, multiple times on the upper right of the display. Generally, HDR resolution will be seen, while playing a 4K video game i.e. PS4 Pro or Xbox One X or watching a movie on a 4K Blu-Ray player. Of course, when first turning on a game, the same HDR icon will flash up on the upper right part of the screen. GAMING: Like I said, the p605 is one of the best gaming TVs that I have seen. I play with the PS4 Pro, which is a 4K gaming system, as I mentioned. The HDR resolution, while playing, is phenomenal. I have played games with already superb graphics, such as Uncharted 4, Uncharted Lost Legacy and Call Of Duty WWII. HDR, just enhances the beauty. I would compare it to buffing and waxing an already washed car. What separates the p605 from many other 4K TVs is the lack of input lag, while gaming. What is more amazing is the p605 has a Game Mode to reduce input lag, but at this point, lag it not noticeable, whether Game Mode is switched off or on. Overall, playing online will give players smooth, responsive gameplay and a competitive edge over the competition. CUSTOMIZATION/ROKU INTERFACE: One of the main features I love about the p605 is the customization and ease of use. For example, for each input i.e. TV, Game, 4K, etc., picture settings (brightness, picture mode, size, audio effect, sleep timer and audio effect) can be changed and saved. I have NEVER seen that feature on any other TV I have ever owned. As a plus, Dolby Vision and HDR has their own customizable picture settings, as well. Users can also go to Advance Picture Settings to change the color, tint, brightness, etc. The remote is pretty basic and straightforward, but includes four streaming app buttons to quickly gain access to them. Some models have different ones. Owners of the p607 will have the same remote, except it includes a headphone jack with headphones, included. Btw, the remote is the ONLY difference, between the p605 and p607. Another cool feature of the p605 is the Roku app can be downloaded to a smartphone to, change settings, access a digital remote AND perform additional picture calibrations on the fly and more. Of course, since this is a Roku television, it can do everything a standard Roku device can do. So, a Roku owner already knows the features. The p605 also updates, periodically, throughout the day. NEGATIVES: I will say the only negatives of the p605, is it only has three HDMI inputs. Sure, it is not a deal-breaker, but it would be nice, if it had four. The other negative is the display does not look very good, when watching at an angle. There have been times, where I got up and was watching, while walking away from the display and the picture looked pale and grainy. Also, the p605 has subpar speakers. Of course, I have a soundbar. Therefore, I would recommend buyers to use theirs, if they own one. VERDICT: With everything feature that I mentioned, it makes the p605 a must-own, ESPECIALLY for the price. Overall, the p605 beats just about every mid-range 4K TV in its class, according to rtings and cnet. In fact, the only step up from the p605 is the infamous 900e by Sony, which cost a grand. Of course, there is other upper-echelon 4Ks, such as QLEDs and/or OLEDs. However, if you are frugally shopping for a smart 4K TV with HDR and superb gaming, if you play, look no further than the p605 OR p607 for that matter. Also, I would also recommend purchasing an HDMI cord by AudioQuest. I always thought an HDMI cable was an HDMI cable, until I purchased it. The cable actually enhanced the p605’s resolution, even more.

First of all I'm a tv buff and I researched this befor I bought it.HDR and 4K is on point. Tv is jaw dropping. Im playing xbox one s using hdr games via battlefield 1 and titanfall 2. Incredible clarity, colors and life like images with zero LAG. Streaming 4k on Netflix, youtube and amazon video is incredible. Wanted people to know this tv isn't a joke.. its a top performer especially for the price. The only thing that isnt that great is the speakers but they are not that bad at all! Very happy with the purchase. P.s the tv is huge! Very thin and light only 40 pounds or so but 55inch is big but it's def worth it what a treat!

If you've read ANY reviews of the TCL P-Series, rest assured they are correct. This 55" 4K stands well-above any Sony, Samsung or LG in it's price point, and easily competes with models to the $1,500 price-point, although obviously excluding OLED models. Paired with a Sony X800 4K HDR player, and even the XBOX One S, this display absolutely blows me away. The HDR & Dolby Vision were clear advantages of this model over many others and they are perfectly executed on the P605. Between the price, HDR, Dolby Vision and built-in Roku, this is a no-brainer unless you absolutely have to have Samsung, Sony, LG or another major-brand name on the display. We replaced a Samsung plasma with this model and it was the first worthy (again, considering price point) replacement. Yes, I wanted an OLED like everyone else, but when you can get the performance of this display, plus have money to add a 4K player (again, the Sony X800), along with a ton of 4K movies...you will still spend less for this entire set-up than just buying the OLED and nothing else. Simply put, it's all about bang-for-your-buck here. Sure, there are some shortcomings of the TV, and you do have to work at the settings to tweak the colors, brightness, noise reduction, dynamic contrast, etc...BUT, once it's dialed, it truly is amazing. Please don't pass on this TV based on what you see in the store. This model is usually hung up with the other junk TV's in a very bright section of the store, and probably not even turned on. This model is one of the best values in current/next-gen home theater tech around. Paired with a quality 4K player and HDMI 2.0 cables (but not an overpriced AudioQuest cable), you won't have any regrets. I had the budget for a Sony 900/903e and chose the TCL + the Sony X800 player and some movies. IN NO WAY do I feel like I sacrificed any image or quality. At $599, this TV should be at the top of your list if you're looking for a 55". Lastly, regarding refresh rate, YES, THIS IS A 60Hz....BUT, I'm coming from a plasma which is essentially the best you can get for refresh/motion. I see NO DIFFERENCE with the TCL. I streamed college football, played Forza 6 and watched countless GoPro 4K YouTube videos on this display and NOTHING lags, drags or chases. Literally no idea how this 60Hz performs like a 120, but it does. Again, I can't sing enough praises of this TCL P-Series. Just check it out, you will be very glad you did.

Doing some extensive research on TVs led me to this set. It punches WAY above its weight class besting others literally double its price. The Highlights to know about this set: Wide color gamut support for both competing standards of HDR (HDR 10 and Dolby Vision) so when one inevitably goes the way of Betamax, it won't matter for you Full array backlight with local dimming which produces STELLAR blacks and peak brightness gets ridiculous in HDR mode which really makes the on screen image pop that much more Roku TV is actually pretty robust and is much less infuriating than the average smart TV interface. Playing nice with Google's cast interface and having Amazon video in one place is pretty nice and playback for Netflix's 4K HDR content like Stranger Things 2 went seamlessly I would say a fair criticism of this TV is that the corners have a dimmer light coming from them versus the rest of the set but I've only noticed this on a fully white background which doesn't happen terribly often and it almost gives the scene a faint vignette effect which isn't even necessarily unpleasant. Absolutely not a deal breaker for myself and not nearly as egregious as light bleed on edge lit TVs but worth mentioning. Also worth mentioning that the standard model is the P607 and that is what you'll see from review sites like RTINGS (best resource in my opinion. Extremely thorough). The P605 here at Best Buy omits the headphone jack on the remote for private listening which is the easiest $50 concession I've ever made. Usually you expect a TV in the $1200 range to have most of what you are looking for but infuriatingly enough the next highest set will have it . There is no such compromise here. This is the top dog from TCL and it absolutely shows. It has every feature you could want and with both HDR format support, it is as future proof as you could possibly hope for. I can't speak for longevity since I've had it less than a full month but with the kind of quality hardware this thing packs and even the minor details like the full metal backplate versus the all plastic affair of other budget sets, I have no reason to believe it won't be competitive in that regard as well. If this TV is in your budget or even comes in significantly under budget go for it. You can best this set with LG's OLED and some of Sony and Samsung's upper echelon stuff but this is a textbook example of diminishing returns. Its really that good.

Flat out, very impressed with this tv. I have an Xbox one X and I was looking for a TV that supported all that features, and boy does this do that. I'll have a picture showing it but this TV is great if you have an Xbox one X. The price is right on point for what you get. My only gripe is the remote, it's cheap and is very confusing to use if you use over the air TV like myself. Other than that, if you are looking for a TV that supports 4k and hdr10, this is it. Finding the option for hdr is difficult, but it is there, trust me, I spent hours looking for it.

I imagine many of you have used ROKU at some time or another - if you have this is the same with a few TV controls added. If you have never used a ROKU before - no fears - it is probably the easiest TV Operating System to learn how to use. ROKU is a very intuitive interface. You will be able to learn the basics by just trying. The remote is simple; no 30 buttons here. The sound is about the same as any TV, and will do in a pinch. But you can pass a digital signal to a sound bar or sound system. I use a Yamaha Dolby Sound Bar and it has great dimensional sound. Not as good as my Atmos system in the family room, but nice for a master bedroom plus sound bars take up no additional space for all intents and purposes. The great thing about this TV is the Dolby Vision. I have some top end TVs, one of which I got from Magnolia in Best Buy. They are two and three years old - both SUHD - both have HDR. The TLC has a better picture than either of them. And it cost almost 75% less. I mean walking upstairs from the family room with the SUHD and looking at the TLC easily allows one to tell the difference. When you look at Dolby Vision vs regular HD it is a drastic change for the better. When you look at Dolby Vision HDR vs HDR10 it is a clear and real improvement. Not to mention Dolby Video is backwards compatible to HDR10. The only down side is that it is the 178 degree by 178 degree viewing angle - beyond that performance at greater angles deteriorates pretty quickly. Check where you are putting the TV and the max angle of viewing - in my large master bedroom the 178 degree limitation was no problem at all. I am sorry, but for the economy priceof the TCL55P605(remote with no voice or earphone jack) or the TCL55P607(enhanced remote) cannot be beat. There are other TCL 55" models but be careful, they may not have the 72 Zone backlighting or they may not have Dolby Vision at all. This is the Best Bang for the Buck TV on the market in my opinion. Maybe next year they will come out with a 65" solution.

I read the reviews for this TV online. Mainly was looking for a TV to use for 4k HDR gaming on PS4 Pro & XB1X. Also movies in 4k HDR via VUDU, iTunes, disc. This TV has a very very low input lag for gaming, the HDR supports Dolby Vision, it looks beautiful. If you are looking for a TV for 4K gaming this IMO the best TV you could buy under $1500, and its quite a bit cheaper. The built in Roku is an added bonus, once updated VUDU, Youtube, Netflix, Amazon TV and others support 4k HDR streaming and it looks amazing. Don't be scared off by the name, this TV has been professionally reviewed with awesome results online. Check it out.

I originally purchased a refurbished Vizio M55 (2016 version) 4K HDR TV at Wal-Mart but had to return it due to defects. When I read a review for the 2017 P-series TCL on rtings.com (best website for in-depth TV reviews) I was pretty excited to try out this TV, although I was skeptical it would stand up to the picture quality of the M55. I’ve had it for a few months now and between the Roku interface (best smart tv interface in my opinion) and the excellent picture quality, I consider it better than the M55 (even the 2017 model from Vizio). I don’t know how it stacks up against the Vizio P-series, but at ~$300 cheaper I can’t imagine the Vizio P-series is that much better. This TV will give you the best bang for your buck if you’re looking for an HDR 4K TV. The only thing lacking on it is that it only has a native refresh rate of 60Hz (would be better if it were 120Hz native for fast moving scenes). Ultimately I’m very happy with my purchase, and I would estimate that the equivalent Samsung/LG 4K HDR TV would sell for around $1000-$1500.

I took months before finally choosing this TV, I scoured reviews and read all I could about choosing a TV. I went to look in stores and settled on this but waited until last week, I was hoping it might go on sale in the 20 days doorbuster sale but the price was so low I finally purchased it. I am so happy with it, it was very easy to set up. I mostly stream Hulu, Netflix, and a few others and my family plays games. I needed something for it all and reading the reviews this looked perfect. Gaming has no lag that I have heard about, the picture is beautiful. I was hesitant because I have never heard of TCL, but TCL makes one heck of a TV. I have not tweaked any settings outside of the basics, I know I read this can be done but honestly it looks great right now. I purchased a mount from amazon for about $70 with shipping, and my son mounted it for me. I LOVE this TV, it is close as you can ger to OLED for a great price. I have always had Samsungs or Sony but I am a huge TCL fan now. They really pack it full of features, it is an incredible TV and worth every penny and more of the $599 I paid. I used my points to pay for most of it but if I had no points I would pay the price. It is super fast on my wifi and I have had no issues with buffering. The remote is so simple, love that as well and to top that, they have an app for my phone that just connected itself. If you are on the fence, trust me, this is a great tv. I am so glad I did not wait until after XMas because they are sold out at my store now.

Before my purchase, I spent a lot of time researching the best options for a 4K TV. After looking at dozens of models, this TCL is probably the best TV deal in history. If you're looking for an incredible TV for a fraction of the cost of its competitors, this is it. The 72 lighting zones make the contrast second only to a full OLED at $2K+. I tested this feature in a dark room with white text against a black background and it's like the black parts of the screen disappear. There is no visible light bleed. Zero. I can't believe that TCL can get this level of contrast from a non-OLED. It's simply amazing. It also upscales 1080p content incredibly well, and the color range is fantastic. The Roku interface is the easiest I've used and it even allows you to plug in a USB memory stick and make your TV "TiVo-like" and record shows. If you are looking for a 55", this should be the first and last TV you look at. Add the top-rated 36" Vizio 2.1 sound bar (Model: SB3621N-E8M) and you have an amazing home theater for under $800!

Great TV. The solid colors are indeed better than the Sony and Samsung big screen TVs we have. The Roku interface is so well thought through that my least technological family member can use it - finally an end to “I don’t get how to...”. For those mounting in the wall a special secret not found in the limited instructions... the mounting screws are the inside set and you have to remove the four screws that it ships with to mount. You’ll find these mount screws needed to fit this tv don’t come with many mounts. Look inside the box and in the packaging you will find a set included. Now, if only the very basic instructions had included any of that it would have saved me time call8ng TCL. Final good news...the TCL help line does not keep you on hold for long - fastest access to a technition I’ve ever experienced (and on a holiday weekend!). Knowledgeable and helpful, I was impressed. Made up for the missing instructions. A great TV. A Great Price. Best Buy had it waiting as promised - so one of my best buying experiences. Ever!

If money is an issue the P605 is the one to get. It has the latest features at an affordable price. The next step would be getting an OLED but those monsters are still going for $1,200+. Get this instead. The P series is the latest model from TCL and it has everything you need. The picture is sharp and the sound is crisp and the built-in Roku is oh so sweet. The Roku app works as a remote control and has private listening so you can watch your programming day and night without bothering anybody else at home. In case you're wondering that's the only difference between the P605 and P607. The P607 has a headphone jack right on the remote control for private listening. The P605 does not but if you want private listening you can use the Roku app on your phone. The TV is very responsive when switching apps, changing video, etc. My sister has an LG and that thing lags. It's horrible. The only down side I can see from adopting 4K a little early is that not all video is being made in 4K yet, but even at 1080p it looks clear. When watching 4K video, though, that thing pops! Out of the box you'll want to calibrate it to get the best picture. Depending on whether you watch TV in a dark or bright room the best settings will differ. There are plenty of guides online. I did a lot of research to make sure I was getting all the latest features at the best possible price before deciding on the TCL P605 and I feel I made the right choice. The 55'' screen is big enough for movies and gaming and this TV will suit me for the next few years until the OLEDs become affordable.

I have both Sony x900e 65" & this one. They both look very good. I downloaded some black screen test on youtube to see if they are different. The black screen test results seem to be the same. I also tested red, blue, and other color tests. It turns out that Sony is a bit better at lower two corner s. Tcl looks a bit dimmer at all four corners. Not very large area dimming. Just small area around the corners. That is all. Sony shows even smaller dimming area at two top corners. Tested with my MacBook pro. No issue on text and document display. I would assume the chroma 4:4:4 is on automatically without any adjustment that I thought I will have to do. For the price, this is really good.

I debated for at least 3 months about this TV. I've never purchased TV brands that aren't well known around the globe, but my friend got one and the image was stunning, which made me purchase this as well! Pros: - Great for Xbox One X! - 4K HDR with Dolby Vision means you are future proof! Great for some Netflix shows/movies with Dolby vision enabled. - Deep blacks and immersive viewing experience! - Stylish, premium look. Bezels are thin enough - Ability to customize a lot picture settings for best 4K viewing or gaming! Cons: - Remote control. But you can download the roku remote app, though the Roku remote that came with it is quite of a disappointment. If your phone has an IR blaster, use that instead or download the app. Conclusion: A must get if you are looking for 4K HDR with Dolby Vision TV on a budget!

I'm a very selective shopper. Having compared the major brands and reviews all paths lead back to this budget buy. The prices of Sony, LG and Vizio dropped Black Friday and I still chose the TCL. The Roku is great I've been using a fire stick for years having the hassle of .multiple remotes. The Roku platform allows one remote and is much user friendly. If you are not springing for a 1500 dollar Oled; this TV is a great alternative till the prices drop on Oleds. Picture is great and I expect the HDR content will be brilliant. Followed the Rting calibration and it's impeccable. Don't trust what you see when in the Best Buy stores. They don't want to sell cheap tvs. So they won't even hand you the remote to adjust. A shame. But great tv.

Saw this, referred it to a friend in Cali, he got it and told me I had to get it. Later, I finally bought it but due to the price it was hard to get, since I got it later than I should have, and I'm extremely happy I did. 4K looks fantastic! But if you have any consoles, streaming services that can do 4K UHD/ 4K HDR everything looks incredible! Colors pop out, darks are very dark, and the lights are nice and bright. Roku has changed my life and I plan to use it for a long time. Smart tv as well, able to hook it up to the wifi and stream services, such as Netflix/ Hulu / Youtube / etc, even though I don't care for a smart tv. But this tv has an incredible price for what it offers. It can compete and even surpass major companies in the specs. Dolby atmos 10 (for gaming), 4K tv, Smart. It's a must buy 4k Smart HDR tv.

I must say for $599 this is an great tv. First of all this TV supports HDR 10 and Dolby Vision out of the box, offers Full Array Local Dimming with 72 zones which provides very deep blacks, and reaches over 700 nits of peak brightness during HDR content(comparable to the 2017 Oled's in HDR brightness). Also, the TCL is one of the best gaming TV's you can buy due to it being measured to have one of the lowest input lag measurements in a TV to date at around 15ms. This TV has the roku smart interface built in with Netflix, Vudu, and Youtube all supporting HDR. In my living room, i have an LG OLED 65C7 and this TCL in my bedroom. In no way am i saying this TCL comes close to the OLED because it doesnt; however, Imo the TCL gets you to about 75% - 80% of the picture quality of the OLED and the price difference is $2,499(OLED 55 inch version) to $599(TCL). That's an amazing price/perfomance ratio. The TCL does have its flaws such as some Flashlighting and black uniformity issues. While watching contect these issues were not really noticeable. The TCL for some reason does not engage the Full Array local dimming until content is started, so while checking menu's and apps the flashlighting is noticeable because the local dimming is off. Hopefully, this will be fixed with a Firmware update. Also, one thing i did was massage the corners of the panel and it cleared up a good amount of the flashlighting/light bleed i was having. So maybe the quality control with these units could be better. Also, the viewing angles aren't good at all; however, that's an issue all LCD TV's suffer from. Lastly, this is a 60hz panel so for those who are used to 120hz it might be a negative. Compared to my 120hz OLED C7, i saw no noticeable motion issues with this 60hz TCL. Summary: Positives. 10 bit Panel 4k, HDR 10, Dolby Vision Dolby Atmos over HDMI/ARC FALD 72 zones Dark Black levels and above 700 nit peak HDR Brightness 15ms input lag in 1080p and 4k HDR gaming Roku Smart platform Negative. Viewing angles Flashlighting(however it is normally present during content) 60hz panel(however motion was excellent to me) For $599, you get features offered with the High end Sony 55X930e at $1,799, or the LG OLED 55 LG B6($1,999) or C7($2,499). Sure they are much better TV's; however, the fact that i can even compare this $599 TV to those TV's costing thousands more is amazing. Even with the negative with this TCL, I had to give it 5 stars because for the money its an amazing TV. I think getting 80% percent of the performance of High End TV's for nearly $2,000 less is an amazing value.

Just buy this TV. Seriously, I did months of intense research on every TV out there & unless you have more than enough money to comfortably buy a $1,200.00+ TV, then this is your go-to; simply put, nothing up through this price range is as good in all around specs, nor has such fantastic value.This is by far the the best TV I’ve ever seen. Dolby Vision, other HDR content, UHD 4K, it all looks insanely brilliant! Gaming is just unworldy, especially on the new Xbox One X, & this TV also has one of the top 3 fastest lag times for a TV on the market today, which means it’s the next best thing outside of a gaming monitor with the added benefit of experiencing it on a more immersive 55” screen instead of a PC monitor that’s a 1/3rd of the size.

Fantastic hdr performance and vivid but not over saturated colors. Did a ton of research and decided to buy this tcl over vizio or Samsung. Samsung uses edge lighting which I find annoying and distracting when watching hdr content, and I actually have a 2017 Vizio M Series and prefer this tv because it has more local dimming zones for a more uniform picture without much blooming. The only knock I have is it does suffer from a slight dirty screen effect but it’s not severe enough for me to be annoyed by it. Side note, I used the calibration settings from rtings.com and it definitely improved the picture quality drastically.
