TCL 55QM8B 55-inch QLED Mini LED Smart TV, 4K HDR Premium 1300nits, Powered by Google TV (Dolby Vision & Atmos, Onkyo 2.0 sound system​, 144Hz Motion Clarity Pro, Hands-Free Voice Control)

For the money, this is an excellet 40" TV which we have solely connected to the internet to offer a range of live and on deman tv. We access the standard terrestial channels as well as their catch up option, Apple TV, Prime TV and Netflix. Set up was incredibly simple and we were ready to view within minutes of installing it on the wall. Two feet are provided to make an optionmal stand but we did not require these. Operation is simple and the TV starts quickly. We found the standard LED on the lower central edge a bit annoying as this unit is installed in our bedroom. We opted to use a Tapo plug to isolate the mains power, which results in the TV taking longer to start up but as we don't use it that much it doesnt really effect us. The remote is simple to use and has the option to use Alexa to control various elements. We are a bit old fashioned in this regard and simply prefer to press buttons to access what stations and option we require. It is pretty good to control and every bit as good as the LG model costing over 6 times the price of this item which is in our sitting room. In terms of picture quality, this item punches above its weight and whilst it isn't as good as our LG TV, it isnt that far behind for standard viewing. The weak point I suppose is the sond quality, it isn't bad but this illustrates that this is a budget priced TV. So it doesn't have the dynamic range of our main TV, nor is it as good as a further TV we have with a Bose soundbar, however, it does have a remarkably small price point which at £169.00 to use represented extraordinary value for money for a TV used mainly to watch the breakfast news with limited use during the day. One additional thing that this TV has encouraged me to do is to access you tube, which I haven't really done before, prefeerring to rely on my iPad. This TV has made me realise on what I have missed! Great TV, well woth the money and 5 stars. Recommended.

The first TV had a failed back light, replaced the next day by Amazon. Superb service. The working TV is amazing for the price. I prefer brightness over pure blacks (OLED) for TV watching. This mini LED deals with blooming well, however, is noticeable with high brightness against light words or small objects against pure blacks. If that's a deal breaker then it's OLED for you. For bright room TV watching it's superb. HDR really pops, Google TV OS is nice with limited lag on this TV. I got the 55 inch version and couldn't be happier for the cost. TCL knocked it out the park this year. This isn't far off from my Samsung QN90D which is about 50% more expensive. Would highly recommend this TV as a second TV or bedroom TV.

Picture quality is excellent coming from an older LG LCD tv .Sharp and bright where it needs to be as it uses mini led technology.4k ,Dolby vision and HDR10 supported and the settings for dolby IQ settings make the picture even better.I use an Apple tv 4k and its great but when you use the tvs own apps to stream i think it looks just a bit sharper as its native to the tv. The apps work very well and easy to log in if you set up the google home settings then anything you have signed up with google is instantly signed in. Home screen menu can be simple or advanced on the home screen and the main menu options themselves are well laid out although i think missing out sound options is a mistake as picure options are there.(You have to go into the settings further to access sound) Sound is good but lacks real depth which i notice more when listening to music through spotify or radio channels through both tv and apple tv.I ended up buying a soundbar but the tv does get loud on its own so it depends on your preference and needs. Wifi is easy to connect and i've never had any connectivity issues. You cant go wrong with this tv .Regular tv looks good and anything in 4k is even better.Gets great reviews on the web and youtube so it was a simple choice for me

This is a great TV exceptional value for price, I bought as a temporary replacement for a big brand model I had which got damaged during a move. I had planned to upgrade it during sale season but I'm not going to bother. - Screen is excellent, quality blacks with no ghosting or other weird artifacts - 144Hz motion is excellent (very good with consoles) - The sound is great - Google TV is extremely responsive (unlike my previous TV) - I don''t watch terrestrial/live TV so cant comment on its performance in that regard, but for streaming and games it's very good. This model had a couple complimentary reviews so I took a chance on it and I am surprised at how good this TV is for the price, great job TCL
