TCL 65P639K 65-inch 4K Smart TV, Ultra HD, Powered by Android Bezeless design (Freeview Play, Game Master, Dolby Audio, HDR 10 compatible with Google assistant & Alexa) [Energy Class F]

I really wasn’t expecting much when I bought this T.V. but it has really exceeded my expectations.I think a good quality set should last you a minimum of 5 years, so generally speaking I tend to go for the higher end brands. My main living-room set has easily done double that time now but cost well over £1000 when new. I have bought cheaper brands in the past for the kitchen or kids bedrooms when they were younger, but as this was going in our bedroom it would have to be pretty close to the living-room in both size and quality.Once our old set packed up I went through 3 different T.V’s in as many months that were all around the £500-600 mark and was becoming very frustrated. Time and money was not on my side so I thought I’d have a look at the Black Friday deals.I knew I wanted an android based TV but was worried that this would push me into the higher price bracket again.I had looked at a few sets similar to this one that ran either FireTV OS or Android TV but the price had me worried about performance, these cheaper T.V’s tend to have low power processors making the operating system almost unusable. But the reviews were generally positive and the money had started to dwindle, so I thought it’s got to be worth a punt and Amazons return policy has me covered.To say that this T.V. surpassed my expectations would be an understatement. I really did not expect to still have it longer than a few weeks, but we are fast approaching a full year without any issues.The T.V. itself has a basic design, it fits fine in the bedroom in an unassuming manor, but when lifting it up there’s a definite lightness and cheap plastic feel.The remote control is the first indication that this T.V. punches well above its weight, it’s a sleek and well thought out design with some popular app shortcuts.During setup I was quite surprised at how snappy everything seemed, I had some concerns that it would slow down over time as more apps etc. are added, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.I did disable some of the TCL apps and auto functions and only signed in to the apps I knew I would be using regularly. After 11 months everything is still running quite snappy.The picture and sound quality are also great for the price point 4K and HDR10 make for a great viewing experience. I’m currently running a SkyQ box through it and everything is crisp and sharp. Usually it’s the sound department where these cheaper sets usually fall down and require the use of a sound bar, but I’m more than happy with the quality and output levels and don’t feel the need for extra sound for use in the bedroom.Overall I’m really happy with this purchase. It’s really handy having everything built in eliminating the need for additional boxes and remotes.Everything about this T.V. has been better than expected and for features vs price point and I would definitely look at TCL again in the future.

Pros:Colour are sharp and bright with a thin and beautiful bezel frame in such low price. Compare with my last Toshiba TV, you can find how big differences in the thickness of screen thickness.Comment:Screen flicking in high frequency especially on edges that makes the eyes a bit uncomfortable. It could be the reason of the image chips is not as good or high grade compare the top price model andWi-Fi connection is unstable which you can read from the top right corner pop up from TV itself as reminder, it absolutely will affect the enjoyment for online TV or Utube.The TV sometimes will hanging and no any display. Nothing can do it by remote control. No sure this is my one has such or generic performance.Compare the last TV, the brightness is relatively low even we tune to maximum. But still good to watch in day time with normal brightness inside living room.Remote has a bit more buttons (80% for me is unusable) which can be make it shorter and smaller.

Nice TV, very light, great picture, good sounds, the only downside is that it won't allow you to download BBC iPlayer or ITV X, we have it in our summer house so we now need to sort out an arial so we can watch them when needed. Other than that I definitely recommend this TV. I'm giving it 4 star if I could install BBC and itv it would have 5.

Arrived today, the TV (43 inch model) is very light weight and almost bezeless, picture is clear and sharp, UHD works perfectly as does HDR10+.Android TV very easy to set up if you have an android phone.Going by other reviews I was on the fence about this product but I've been very impressed so far, I had to tinker with sound settings (wall mount setting seems better even tho I'm using it on a TV stand). All apps working and loading quickly for me, there is a touch of input lag whilst using on screen keyboard but my previous LG TV was the same... Voice commands work via mobile phone app or you'll need to buy another remote with a microphone.In regards to others saying apps were loading slowly etc, the TV has about 2GB of RAM so if you've opened a lot of apps and went back home and opened another etc this will still use resources in the background... A way around this is to occasionally go into the android TV settings menu and go to apps and then click on apps you've been using and "force stop" them freeing up RAM for other operations.TV worked well with my Xbox Series, no lag problems for me whilst playing fifa and other games.Overall for the money, it's superb value.
