If you like Scott brand toilet paper you will like tcl television sets!

Ignorant comment here. It completely depends on the series. TCL's 5 and 6 series sets are great values and have nice pictures.

Hmm I posted this as a deal with Best buy and an alternative link to Amazon. Odd that was changed...

The mod that removed the Best Buy link left a note saying that it was removed because it was previously posted by another member. Here's a link to the other thread if you'd like to check it out: https://slickdeals.net/f/16398013-tcl-75-5-series-s555-4k-uhd-hdr-qled-roku-tv-best-buy-699-99

I've had 4 series 55 and just bought 5 series 65s555
4 series had a very dim picture. OK if you turn off all the lights or cover all the windows. But glare was a huge problem due to how dim it was. It also died 2.5 years out (LED backlight).
5 series has a much better picture and is twice as bright. Its no OLED or top tier QLED but I am overall happy with the picture. Also no 120hz just 60 with VRR.
Longevity, who knows. It will probably die again after 2 years but this time I bought a 5 year warranty.
For $370 I think this is a good deal and worth the extra money over 4 series.

I had a 4-series a few years back for the living room at a summer cottage, and it was really bad. Terrible contrast and black levels. I upgraded to a 5-series, and it's really a great TV. However, it's really important to understand that the viewing angles are not good. So if you sit more or less in front of it, it's very good. Turn off the lights, at night, and it's great. But sit off to the side, and it loses a lot of quality very quickly. As long as you understand the limitations, this is a great TV and a fantastic value. I have an LG OLED as my main TV, and obviously this doesn't compare. But neither does the price!

ive had a 4 for 3 years, its holding up ok, picture is just ok.
ive had a 5 series for 2 years, noticeably better picture. the 5 series is a really good deal for the money.
i kinda want a 65" 5 series, since mine are smaller than that.

I just got this 55" S555 for my bedroom and am blown away by how good it is. I have a LG CX77 OLED in my living room as a point of reference. This TCL 5 series is very good for the price.

Just picked up this set from Best Buy and I have to say it really is a great TV for the price. I probably should have spend the cash and went with the 65in but hey 55 is steal at that price point.

Is $369.99 really a sales price or just the regular price? On tcl's site, they are listing this model with a suggested price of $369.99 (https://www.tcl.com/us/en/product...-tv-55s555) so it seems this is just MSRP?
