50" TCL 4 Series Roku TV Review

[@mr559]

First time on your channel and I'm liking the reviews. The videos are the perfect length and you are able to fill in a lot of important information without filler. The video showcases great shots of the ports, menus and overall look of the tv. Hope to see this channel grow more!

Nice review. I just bought one this morning for $248 on sale @ my local Walmart. This review gave me a nice quick overview. Thank you!

[@glbernini0]

If you do future reviews please say which 4 series or whatever the latest review is. 4 series has changed a lot over the years. Good all around review!

[@retrodog63]

I have the 50" version, from a Prime Day sale. It's a great TV. I got a Sony soundbar and then spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a support person to get the darn TV talk to the sound bar. It worked great after that. Later, I plugged the sound bar into my 65" LG TV that is about two years old. The TV popped up a message that a speaker system was plugged into HDMI 2, asking if I wanted it to direct the audio over to the sound bar. True plug-n-play. That's the only thing I've found so far that I didn't like with the TCL.

[@ChristianRocker]

Great review, loved the real world take on it and the editing. Keep up the good work.

Great review. I'm going to pickup one tomorrow because of your review.

Fantastic review.You set standards that others should follow.Right to thr point.So many reviews drag on time FOREVER just to get more ads on,esp unboxing videos.They show every inch of the box before opening.THEN,they take foreverto get shrink wrap,open box ,show you every piece of packaging,ect.THEN,which is probably most frustrating,they go page by page of instruction manual.Whew,im done.😂Just a fantastic and honest look.Convinced me to get this one.

[@14jordanp]

Thank you I watched 5 other reviews and none of those had nearly as much information as you did.

[@evilinside5984]

You do a great job, of giving such a detailed description, of pertinent information, that helps us as consumers, make a well informed decision, so thank you very much! Ps this tv is even a better value now, @ just a little over 200 dollars, for this 50 inch smart series 4 roku tv!

Good review, this set does a really good job with my Series S. Super important to access the settings on each input to make sure the HDR setting is not in dark mode and its on the appropriate picture setting. I am pretty happy with this set compared to the previous crappy Hisense TV from Costco.

[@TheReviewGuideChannel]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy!

[@LaVerite124]

You made me appreciate this series because I was looking at the 5 Series but thank you for this review. I have a Vizio P55 C1 and of course the TCL would seem like a down grade. I'm tired of unplugging and troubleshooting my Vizio so I may just grab this one but the 55". I will miss dolby vision and the HDR but this looks good. Thanks for reading.

[@TheReviewGuideChannel]

Glad I could help!

[@negative7proxy]

I've had my 50" Vizio flat screen for years and every so often when I turn it on it brings up a message saying it could not load. I turn the power strip it's plugged into off for a few seconds and back on and it loads up fine. Is that something similar to what you have been experiencing with your Vizio?

[@influencer8006]

If this is the Roku TV then it comes with the Roku remote which does not have a mic on it for voice commands. Does the TV have built in mics?

[@djhams]

So I just returned this tv and now saw your review. The only reason I did was as it was fine. I wish I checked. Time to buy it again. 😭

[@Masterlowen21]

thanks for this very specific video!

[@Bigmanndev.55]

Is that back light a setting on the tv or did you install that yourself?

[@dillonthornton5492]

Do you know a really good picture setting there is like how high or low the contrast and sharpness should be? I’m thinking putting The picture setting on movie and changing the color temperature to warm and just leaving it at that without changing anything else like the brightness or color but I’d like to know your opinion on the matter.

[@mannbub]

is it good for bright lit room?

[@skaybaltimore]

Thanks!! Does this TV have a 3.5mm headphone jack? I didn't hear you mention that when you were talking about input ports. My current TV (a Sony 55" Bravia TV) is connected to Klipsch 3-way powered speakers via the headphone jack and it sounds great. But the TV itself is having some problems and I want to replace it.

Great review!!! Thank you. Hey question, when scrolling through Netflix movies does yours lag?? Just bought this tv today but the 43" and every other app works just fine but not Netflix, any suggestions or what is causing this issue? Ohh and how are your angle views?!? Does the pic wash out? Ours does... I read the 5 series it does not wash out and angle views are as clear as standing right in front of it. I would appreciate any thoughts on these! Thanks! 😊

[@TheReviewGuideChannel]

Hmm. I don’t experience a lag with mine. Maybe the system needs an update? The picture does indeed wash out a little bit because it is not an IPS panel. The 5-series is a bit more expensive, so of course you get what you pay for.

[@JimmyG3237]

@@TheReviewGuideChannel Thank you! I might go with the 5 series, I don't know yet...have to watch more reviews. Washout angle views really bothers me alot...so I need to look for one with an IPS panel? Hmmmm. 😊

[@TheReviewGuideChannel]

Yes, however picture quality in terms of contrast is USUALLY better with VA panels (the one the TCL 4-series is). So it’s a give and take.

[@JimmyG3237]

@@TheReviewGuideChannel I'm so undecided! My wife is gonna kill me! LOL 😂, So if you were me right now, which would you choose? The 4 series or the 5 series? Both in 43" .... Thank you again! 😊

[@TheReviewGuideChannel]

The 5 series is a step above the 4 series. Which also means it is a step up in price. It is also still a VA panel so the viewing angles are only slightly better. So, they are both great TV’s you just again get what you pay for.

[@fanmovie357]

Right now im in the middle between this model and the samsung AU7000 the TCL is 650 dollars and the AU7000 is 780 dollars they do seem to be even overall but im worried about the tcl lasting quality vs the samsung, my current samsung tv is 10 years old and im only changing it because im jumping from 50 to 65 inch size panel I just want a bigger tv, would you say the difference in price makes the TCL worth it or just go for the quality of samsung?

So the P615 (& perhaps P715) is the equivalent of the US version of 4-series S435. I'm guessing the C715 is the non-FALD equivalent of the US 5-series S535. What then is the equivalent version of the US 6-series R635? 😯

[@xtrasweet8890]

please help i have the 50s431 and i do not know what year it is from or if there are any differences. on the booklet it came with on the bottom it lists the s431s,433s,435 all on the same booklet. so please help.maybe they are just differnt os, but same specs? either way i have the roku and also i learned from your video i have dolby digital plus woo hoo. do i have hdr10+ or just hdr* help lol, anyone!

[@jackstonehenge]

All of these modern TVs at the store have this “soap opera” effect. Even on older movies, as if the frame rate is artificially increased. I can turn this off right? I’m not stuck with this? I want to watch the original frame rate of older dvds.

I want to thank you for this video. I've been trying to get an affordable 4k tv with some of the new bells and whistles (120 hz, hdmi 2.1, vrr, etc) to no success due to low most models I have interest in selling out. For the price and features offered, its a great investment to tide me over until I will have definitive need for all that tech I wanted to future proof for and hopefully at a more affordable cost. Thank you so much for your review, you did a wonderful job presenting it and I cannot wait to get my order and plug it in and start gaming and watching movies with it 🙂 Question: got any recommendations for a great budget friendly soundbar?

Follow up regarding getting the TCL series 4. I LOVE THIS TV For the price (and granted it's not as powerful and future proof as the newer tvs) Its a great buy and upgrade from from my old vizio UHD tv. Visuals look great for gaming, live tv, and movies. I have it linked to a nice vizio soundbar and my alexa so I can issue voice commands to it. All in all a great investment and I have you to thank for it 😀 My only regret is I was unable to get a series 6 at the time due to lack of supplies at my local best buy (which I hear is even better) But I have to say the Series 4 wows me in terms to what it brings to the table. 😄
