    5 Stars
    This TCL TV is spot on!
    On my next tv I wanted to go big. And big I got. I purchased the TCL 65S517 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV (2018 Model). I did a lot of research before making this purchase, both on line and in stores. Seems as though all big screen tv's of all makes have their version of a quality picture display. Hover, this TCL model, in my opinion rivals any of the high price models on the market. I'm not a tv techno expert, but I know what I like when I see it. This model, for it's size displays an excellent picture. Oh, did I mention it is big. I sit about 14' from the screen which for me is a good distance. A lot of reviews talk about puny speakers in these large screen tvs, but to me the sound is great and plenty loud if I need it to be. I may add a sound bar with sub later for movie viewing later on, but with the settings built into this model, I am able to make it sound pretty good. I am well pleased with my purchase and also the way it was packaged. The box and the way it was packed inside was amazing and kept the tv safe and secure. For the price, this TCL tv is a great buy if you are looking for a large screen tv for a budget price. I can't see anywhere TCL cut corners in putting together this unit. The bezel is even made of metal and extremely small. When viewing the tv you hardly notice the bezel is even there. That's the way I like it. Buy one, you won't be disappointed.
