55-Inch Class S5 UHD 4K LED Smart TV with Fire TV (55S551F, 2024 Model), Dolby Vision, HDR PRO+, Dolby Atmos, Alexa Built-in with Voice Remote, Apple AirPlay 2 Compatibility, Streaming Television

I always liked TCL style flat screen TVs. I now am the proud owner of TWO of these same TVs and the picture is awesome! The User Interface is awesome! The setup is easy peasy lemony squeezy! The BEST part? It doesn't break the bank! I got this 55 inch beauty with a crisp clear screen that looks like you can reach right into it, as if it was a window, for less than $300 after taxes! Even the remote is awesome, as it has a microphone and Alexa services built right into the device itself. You simply can't go wrong. Once it gets here, the FREE unboxing and delivery to the room of choice allows you to evaluate the condition of your TV and if something is wrong or broken, you can refuse the shipment and it will be taken back for a refund or an exchange. No questions asked. We have had the first one for a year now. This newer one is the same generation, but still brand new in the box that has never been opened. Your money is not badly spent here, it's worth every penny for what you get, and do you get a LOT of good stuff! Yes, it has a VESA pattern on the back for stand mounting, as my older 55 that we had since 2018 just died, so we got this one and for only a quarter of what we paid in 2018! My next one I'm saving for will be the 75 inch beauty for my very large master bedroom, which will only take me about 4 months to save for! Yippee! After that, our TV needs will be fully met! Happy House, Happy Spouse!

Great picture, sound but often has to be unplugged to reset TV. Great Value for the money!

Pros: good picture and sound Cons: No instructions for setting up the tv. Getting it to turn on is the first obstacle. There is no power button on the tv. Everything is done via remote and the tv ON indicator is reversed. It lights up when the tv is in standby mode and off when it is on or unplugged. Also, the tv is slow to respond to the remote. So you'll think the tv is DOA. You'll point the remote at different spots on the tv pressing ON hoping that it will now turn on. When you finally get the tv to turn on, you have to wait for the long boot time of the FIRE OS. You need to go through the FIRE OS setup connecting to the internet to get latest firmware as there are functions for the tv that are only in the FIRE OS menus. You don't need to connect to your amazon account. There are no instructions for the TCL settings menu either (separate from the fire menu). You have to figure that out yourself. After you have setup the tv, use a roku stick and remote to control the tv. Update: Found the power button. It's hidden under the IR receiver at the bottom center of the TV (the power button is flush with the bottom, so it's easy to miss). Also, you have to aim the remote directly at the IR receiver (not just the TV) or else no response.

It’s big, bad, and beautiful. Why in the world would anyone spend more than this on a TV when this thing is simply amazing. I read every review on Amazon on this TV before I purchased it. Laggy remote and interface, lack of Xfinity apps.. you name it. Does it take a half second from pressing a button on the remote to translate to the TV- yes definitely. The missing Xfinity app- it’s just in the App Store to download just not preinstalled. Easy. TV was delivered fast by two nice guys in a big Amazon truck on a Saturday. They simply asked where should we put it. I didn’t select any kind of installation or unboxing. This thing in the box is gigantic, but me and my 12 year old lifted that big box with ease. No damaged packaging, brand new not a returned unit, not a scratch on the box. The packing on this is great, for those worried about it getting shipped, unless you dropped it off the truck, I would trust delivery. It took longer to unbox simply due to size than hooking up. Had issues with my router blocking the connection to Amazon to update, but once I figured that out TV updated itself then I linked to my account. I also purchased the bundle with the matching TCL 2.1 soundbar and that was plug and play out of the box with this TV. Installed the missing apps that I had on my last Roku TV, hooked up Xbox, which was also automatically detected and plug and play, and done. Color out of the box was perfect for me. The TV with auto switch to the best possible setting for whatever source is feeding it. Some Amazon and Netflix shows were Dolby Atmos, some not. TV sensed that and just adjusted. Clarity and brightness is superb. Xbox games are fluid and colorful as expected. The size is a monster compared to our older 55” TCL Roku TV. Needed a larger stand as the legs are far wider than the 55”. Like I said, I’m not sure why you would need a $2,000 TV, this does ball that at a fraction of the price. Lastly since it’s Fire TV I get things like my Amazon Music app which thumps with the 2.1 soundbar’s subwoofer. You get Alexa- which now my Echo dots around the house can control the TV. Is awesome. Been buying TCL TV’s for years with no issues. We have 3 in the house. I would recommend this to anyone.
