    Today, I am going to be doing a review of the TCL 5 Series QLED TV Review. This model in particular is the TCL 50-inch 5-Series 4K UHD Dolby Vision HDR QLED Roku Smart TV - 50S535, 2021 Model. The TCL 5 series is a great TV for viewing all types of content such as Netflix, gaming, or sports due to its QLED panel and budget price. It also comes in a variety of sizes such as 50 inch, 55 inch, 65 inch, and 75 inch. I would highly recommend the TCL class 5 series if you are looking for a great new budget TV.

    Just picked up this model after reading numerous reviews and watching UA-cam videos. Cost $429.99 at Best Buy. Being delivered this Wed. June 22, 2022. Can hardly wait. Anticipation! Even ordered a VESA table top stand as I have a TCL Sound bar which doesn’t fit under my current (older) 40” TCL TV. Spent several hours on Saturday stooping in at Walmart & Best Buy looking at the TVs on display and this one appeared the best. Keep up the great videos.

    Great review of this TV. Just got mine a 75 inch and it's very good. Much better then the Hisense u6h that I had for only a week that was a disappointment. I should have listened to your review. Its really great using my Xbox series x. No need to get the 120 htz. 60 htz runs fine. Thank you again.

      @USMC19777 I had bought a Hisense tv from Costco the year before and that tv was great. But when this one was on sale at Best buy I jumped on the deal and when I hooked it up to my Xbox Series X I couldn't get the calibrations right, there was a lag in the game's that I was playing no matter what I did. I ended up taking it back to best buy and got a TCL and was very satisfied with my 75 inch. And still loving it watching my kid play Sniper Elite 5 right now.

    I still have the 2020 model 535 and it's a fantastic HDMI 2.0 set and fantastic TV for the price. I picked up a Hisense U7G just last week, because I wanted VRR and 120 hz, plus 1000 nits out of HDMI 2.1. You will not be disappointed with either panel for the price.

      @ridiculous_gaming 2 роки тому +3

      @@Nachoforpresident I would pick up the smaller Hisense. Both are Qled and 10 bit displays, but the Hisense is much brighter, thus much better at offering what's demanded for HDR. The Hisense is fully Hdmi 2.1, supports VRR, etc. It's an amazing TV for the price. If you can, purchase from Costco, for they have the best warranty after a sale too...cheers!

    First off, thank you for making a great review video. I am not familiar with TCL brand, but trying to get myself educated before making a new TV purchase. My Samsung TV died after 3 years, won't go back to that. But then again, it was LED. I cannot decided between the TCL 5 series or Amazon 55 inch Class Omni QLED Series 4K UHD smart Fire TV. 1. What free basic TV channels comes with TCL and with the Amazon? 2. What are the pros and cons of each? 3. Which surpasses the other? I am a gamer and need that smooth experience. XBox 360 and PS2. Thank you!

    Don't know if you'll be able to answer this but is there a reason we don't get colour boxes for these sets in Canada? I watched another review where the "premium" feel of everything started at the box, but was a bit disappointed when my set arrived (S546) and it was just a plain brown box :( lol

    You can always buy the better remote (about $20) for it since its a Roku TV and uses a standard roku remote. I did that with mine so you get voice and don't have to point it at the screen to use it.

So far all I need to do is turn it off and then back on again but I have a feeling it will get worse, glad I bought Best Buys 2 year warranty.

    • @valueofnothing2487
      @valueofnothing2487 Рік тому

      It's overpriced because it doesn't have local dimming. Also, RTINGs has a few issues with it.
      It's really more price comparable to the TCL 6 or UH8 at around $700.

You made me a believer with your review and now I'm more than willing to spend a little more for the QLED. One question please: I see Amazon has the 50T555 at $458.99, although on a waiting list as it's out of stock now. I can't find any reviews on it (possibly because it's so new). TCL has so many model numbers, it's making me dizzy. Your opinion please? Thanks, Larry

    I know you're trying to sell televisions, but the least you could do would be to tell what's wrong with the television.
    You mentioned 60 Hz but you didn't mention that that could impact HDR gaming and HDR movies. You didn't mention that it doesn't support Dolby Atmos or DTS x. You didn't mention that there was low brightness in HDR. Although it has full array dimming, it only has 30 zones.
    Nor did you mention that bfi causes duplicatation of images. Or that the extremely high response time will cause stutter.
    By far what's wrong with his TV is that it doesn't reduce judder with streaming sources such as Chromecast or other 60 Hertz like cable. Further there's no 480p so you can throw out your DVDs.
    So there's a reason why this television is inexpensive. You could mention that it's better than the Hisense U6H, and better than similarly priced TVs from Samsung to LG. For $400, It's probably the best television out there.
    But then again what is the reliability of this television? I'm brand names like Hisense and TCL, The question of reliability is kind of important. I don't know a single person out there who has made a video that addresses this issue.
