Product Description
The 5-Series marries superior 4K UHD picture quality with Dolby Vision HDR for a stellar imaging experience. The 5-Series’ HDR Dynamic Contrast technology uses information embedded in the Dolby Vision content to optimize every scene for an accurate display of details in the bright and dark areas simultaneously, unlike other HDR formats that have a set brightness level for all content. The 5-Series models’ iPQ Engine provides precise color replication while HDR Pro Gamma significantly improves HDR performance in any setting.
A clean, contemporary design is made possible with TCL's FullView edge-to-edge glass display that blends seamlessly into your viewing experience. A dark finish and jewel eye power button lend additional style and sophistication to your home theater.
The award-winning Roku TV smart platform provides seamless access to over 500,000 movies and TV shows through a simple, intuitive interface. No more flipping through inputs or wading through complicated menus. All your favorites are at your fingertips from the instant you turn it on. Choose from thousands of streaming channels plus live sports, news, music, kids and family, food, science and tech, fitness, foreign language, and so much more.

The ONLY feature I wish it offered was voice command, but you can download the roku app to your phone and use your phone as a remote and use voice command through there if it is a huge deal. It hasn't been a big enough deal for me that I bave opted to use my phone instead of the remote....BUT the app HAS been handy gor the times the remote has gone missing! While we continued our search for the remote, we used my phone app. When using the app, your phone screen mirrors what the remote looks like EXACTLY...ALSO providing ease of use. No worries about that first time during a remote "emergency' that you have to figure anything out.
We are so pleased with this t.v.. Also, we were happily surprised to walk into our yearly vacation rental at the beach to find that the owners had upgraded the home with new 65" roku tvs through out the home. They were all THIS version! Sweet! We knew how to use them right off the bat, were able to easily sign in to our various apps for steaming, AND use my phone ad a remote when needed. Not that that has anything to do with the quality of the TV but I am glad to see this brand is growing in recognition. I will continue to purchase from this brand of television. Great price. Great quality. VERY easy to use and set up
Anyway, Black Friday rolls around, as it does. While casually browsing, I was astounded by the prices of TVs. A 50" 4k Smart TV for $300? That's crazy. I remember when HD TVs cost thousands. This isn't even the cheapest model, as the 50S425 was priced at $249. I did some research though, and found that this model, the 505525 had a significantly brighter screen and better viewing angles. One of the complaints I noticed about the 50S425 was it's low maximum brightness. There were some other factors such as the four vs three HDMI ports and t hat the panel on the 505525 is also supposed to have more vibrant colors and higher dynamic range. Plus, I liked the design of this one, with the front mounted power button the just out below the frame. Reminded me of the very first TCL I looked at when I was shopping for a 32" 720p TV (although ended up buying the Vizio). With that in mind, I opted to spend the extra $50 on this one.
So far, I don't regret it. The image quality is beautiful. I'm sure higher end Samsung's are better, but compared to the 720p TV we have, it's a night and day difference.
I really like the Roku OS. It's fast and intuitive, and you can add an array of apps to it (even VRV, which thoroughly impressed me). Has no trouble streaming. The Grand Tour looked fantastic playing on it. Sound quality is pretty good. Not mind blowing, but not bad. I plan to get a sound bar to enhance the experience though.
On thing worth noting, is if you have a smaller TV cabinet like me, the legs on this TV are very far apart. The were close to a foot wider than the TV cabinet was . Because there's a window directly behind the TV cabinet, an aquarium on one side, and a brick wall on the other, wall mounting wasn't an option. I opted for an aftermarket stand (USX MOUNT TV Base) that solved the problem.
The funny thing is: I don't watch TV or play games much, but on the occasions when I do, this is a real treat. Bumblebee looked terrific playing on it.
I'll update if anything goes awry, but for now I'm very happy with my purchase.

The only issue I had was the support for soundbars. I have a Samsung sound bar which worked flawlessly with the Samsung TV this unit replaced. No matter what I did, the TV will not work wirelessly with it. So, I plugged in HDMI 4 ARC which the soundbar supports. This allowed me to turn the volume up/down on the sound bar through the TV controller but still no actual sound came out. Turns out the only way ARC (CEC) would work, is by also using an optical cable. Now, I'm not new to setting up AV systems. I've used plenty of high end equipment, but always used receivers and I'm not all that familiar with ARC. It seems ridiculous to me that a whole HDMI cable is used just to send volume up/down commands to the soundbar? Why not use the cable for the audio too? I'm not sure if that's the standard, or if this is a specific requirement for TCL TVs. It's all working good now, so I still give the TV a 5 star for the price point, ease of setup, and great 4K picture. You can't really go wrong here, as long as expectations are realistic.
