Just think, an LED tv this size 15 years ago would have cost over $5000, and would have been worse.
True
So true CJ. Thank you so much for watching!
not sure about worse. i had a sony 40 inch lcd i bought over 15 years ago for like $750, and i liked the picture a lot better than the leds they make today.
the picture and colors just looked more natural to me, with a lot of these leds the picture is sometimes too bright and colorful and it loses that natural look and makes everything look more cartoony and unnatural.
it also lasted about 15 years while being on at least 12 hours a day, and 24 hours a day on the weekends. i have trouble sleeping in silence so the tv is usually on even while i'm sleeping.
anyhow, like everything else, tvs are built to break down faster now so they can sell more of them. i have a tcl and the picture is better than i expected, but i definitely preferred the more natural look of the sony lcd i had before it. i just liked the way lcds looked in general over led, but sadly they don't even make lcds anymore to my knowledge.
Kind of but for that price it would come with 120 hz
GREAT VIDEO! Nice to see budget models get a look
As I have always said and that is that no matter the brand specs Ect as long as YOU are happy with the tv that's all that matters. That being said I hope you and the family have a wonderful Thanksgiving my brother.
Excellent comment as always Steve! Hope you had an excellent Thanksgiving brother!
have the 43 and 50 inch of this tv, going strong for 5 years now with no problems. paired up with the roku wireless tv speakers and the roku voice remote pro. highly recommend. yep.
Good reviews. It is good you reviews cheaper more affordable TV, especially it is 4K. This TV being a midrange in most aspect, value for money. It feels refreshing when you reviews cheaper TV. The everyone TV.
I'll never forget while I was working at best buy seeing a 4 series just with the store advertisements on it. Then I went to a sam's club and saw actual 4k content on it and I couldn't believe how much better than expected it looked.
Costco is way worse with their displays
You encouraged me 😁
Excellent comment Rick! Hope all is well with you and your family.
Hey Brian I really like this kind of video. Believe it or not a lot of people buy this type of TV because they don't know or care about certain features like we tend to. When I would go to Best Buy I would see lots of people buying this type of TV. I have TCL TV's myself but they are the famous 6 series that are more packed with features that we like.
Excellent comment Michael ! I'd say the majority of people purchase TV's like these. Hope all is well my friend
They are great for what it's worth. I'm a simple guy. Not interested in more high end features if all I want is to watch content. Thanks for the review.
That panel is very impressive ngl lol. Looks like this might just be the perfect entry/budget 4k tv.
Perfectly said my friend! Thank you so much for watching
this channel made me become an OLED aficionado. I got the 77" a80j couple months back. Solid set. Trying to get the a90j 83" now. Its hard to sell my a80j though, everybody is lowballing hard.
Everytime I go to someone's house people still got LED sets in their living room.
Only myself and another good friend of mine who is a tv connoisseur has the LG C2.
Im going to go a limb here and say that not too many people know about OLED technology let alone women with all due respect
4 Series 4 LIFE
What’s up Brian 👊🏼 Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Hi James! Hope all is well brother. Hope you and your family had an excellent Thanksgiving
Happy thanks giving from the uk 👍🏽
Christopher!! Thank you! How are you brother?
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY
All good thanks my man.. enjoying the vids hope you and family are well...!!
@christopher charles thank you as always brother! Glad you guys are doing well. Much love!
I was and still am quite happy with my TCL but it certainly wasn't the most affordable 65 they made at the time, in fact it probably the most expensive set they were selling. 65 825 mini led series set. I did get it on sale but they originally wanted 2k for it. It doesn't bloom either but it was their technology leader and started the mini led tech every one is using now.
Because of that set you know I was able to buy a top end Sony with the same tech😁
And happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Excellent comment, Terry! Hope you had an excellent Thanksgiving, my friend
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Well it could have been better because my sister and I got sick so had to skip going to lil sisters house to pig out, but she is awesome and brought us a bunch of turkey, stuffing, mashed taters, and pie to work on 😍
Awww man!! Hope you are feeling better
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY It's covid, but mild cases for both of us. We both got all the shots and boosters except the newest one for omnicron. We both had it in February 2020 just before the vaccines and lucky us she got it at work so we both got sick.
Luckily we both can still taste the food and not feeling horrible except for the nasty cough.
Every buddy get your boosters, this keeps mutating and tends to break through the earlier shots.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THE SAME REMOTE AS YOURS. I HAVE NO NUMBERED BUTTONS , PUSHING THE THING ALL THE TIME. HAVE GONE THROUGH NUMMERUS BATTERIES IN PAST FEW MONTHS . NO NUMBERED BUTTONS WHICH WOULD SAVE TIME
Excellent review brother…I just bought one 👍🏽
Awesome, Michael! Congratulations on your purchase, brother!
Happy Thanksgiving Brian! Can't believe its been another year
Happy Thanksgiving Mike! Hope all is well my friend
Happy Thanksgiving Brian and Family.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Craig!
Basic tech models can often be surprisingly good..
I was thinking about replacing my parents' 65" tv for xmas. This video may have made my decision to go through with it. I'll check it out in person. Thanks for your videos brother! Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving my friend! I think it's an excellent choice for your family. I was very surprised by how well it performed. Hope all is well
Very kind of you. Karma never forgets an address
Our parents deserve that and more. Having to put up with our sh1t growing up.
@doublet147 - I highly recommend my tv - I truly just got it because of the size and price - living alone & not a gamer - I have been really happy with it - it is super simple to use and super light, anyone can lift it & set it up if I was able too
@@paigecm hiiiiiiiiiiii Paige😘
I have a 4 series 2020 and i was ready to give it away, but i downloaded the roku app and calibrated my tv and oh my the picture looks so good now. You can calibrate it with rhe remote you have to download the app. That goes for all tcl roku tvs
I have 4 of these 4 series,2 40" a 50" and a 65",all work great for the price point,I've had multi thousand dollar Samsung's and Sony's and notice no difference,I've actually had the exact opposite luck with fire sticks,sometimes to the point of not even connecting to wifi 10 feet from router.
Great comment Randy! Thank you for watching
I have the 32" tcl tv had it for going on 4 years now and still works great. Paid $118 for it at the time. So far I'm getting my money's worth
I bought a Hisense in 2020 from Walmart and it’s a good tv for the price the only issue I have with it is there’s banding in the dark.
The settings are basic.
Great comment! Hisense is also very good. Thank you for watching
I have this TV in the 43" size and it's fine. it's a basic 4K panel. as a comparison Samsung's budget option gives you two HDMI slots a USB slot and a wired lan jack. that's it and it doesn't support Dolby Vision. this does and gives you four HDMI slots a USB wired lan a headphone jack and composite video and it supports Dolby. knowing all of that in advance I went with this unit 🙂
it might not be the sexiest tech toy out there but it's good for the basic 4K experience 😉
Your happy and that is all that matters! Excellent comment! Thank you
I'm watching the video on my TV as I leave this comment. I'm watching to get an idea of what TCL's entry level panels are like, because BB has the Pioneer branded 55", which uses a TCL panel, which is on sale for $269.99 until tomorrow. It's a Fire TV with 3 HDMI inputs, HDR, Dolby Vision and DTS-X. So, one of my main concerns was with the viewing angles, and while I shouldn't assume, I assume the 4 series will look similar to the Pioneer.
I'd say they are very similar and excellent for the money. Viewing angles are similar to other leds. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching
OMG! I could never just go into the store knowing only I want the cheapest size X they've got!
Happy Thanksgiving bro
Thank you so much my friend Hope all is well.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY much love man
Would a wall mount block the Ethernet Port on the back?
8:40 I live in that area 😊
And I have the same TV lol
I use my Apple 4K TV with it instead of the built in Roku interface. much faster, looks better and the Apple TV allows me to disable HDRand it looks so much brighter and better in SDR
Her cable is connected via the cable?
It's a Thanksgiving miracle ❤❤
How are things Tristan? Much love to you my friend
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY things are good. Much love to you and your family
I think it looks great for the price. I have the 75" TCL S55 QLED out in the living room and 65" LG C2 in my gaming room. Both are great TV's at their respective price point. I'm a sucker for a bright screen, so QD OLED or MLA OLED when it comes out will be my next TV.
Awesome comment! Thank you so much for watching
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY 👍
Never heard TCL Roku OS described as "Slow and Clunky"
My Walmart had these 65" for $250. They have chopped prices for the new bigger TV's that are coming in. Get it calibrated!!! I went to Best Buy & the TCL's looked just as good to me as the $5k TV's. I asked if they were all calibrated & she said yes. Not sure how much it cost but im still looking.
My 2nd 58" 6 series $269 backlighting went out again, so no more Hisense for me.
there's no reason you should need to get a tv calibrated, just a scam to make more money off of people. i have a tcl and it looks good enough the wat it was set up out of the box, but if it's capable of looking better, it should look that way out of the box rather than requiring calibrating thar most people aren't capable of doing themselves.
@@Jack_80 is it possible to calibrate it on my own? I just bought this tv for 228 for Black Friday?
@@jameltanderson from what i've heard you need special computer software and it's a pain in the ass. i've just been using mine the way it is out of the box and it's good enough for me. i'm not paying as much as the tv cost or more for a slightly better picture.
there are some settings in the roku menu or something i adjusted to make the picture a little better. i forget exactly how to get to it but there's a video here on youtube showing you how to do it. it's not in the tv settings, it's in the roku settings or something, and lets you adjust sharpness and a few other things.
it's stupid that it's not just in the tv settings but it wasn't hard to do.
@@Jack_80 ok thank you I’m gonna save this comment for when it arrives 🙌🏽
Thank you
My pleasure!!
The tcl series 4 inst bad yeah the peak brightness is t enough to make hdr look different really from SDR but I set all mine picture to vivid and bright hdr with custom time color space and white balance picture look nice for a tv under $250
👍
I'm very confused. Please tell me what's your opinion? A80k or s95b or c2 ? My uses important watch football and movies Netflix HBO prime video apple TV and little use fifa 23 ps5 I want best tv for all uses?? I will buy tomorrow so I want know your opinion please??
Sports will be the bane of OLEDs for you. If you really need an OLED I'd go with the Samsung since it's the brightest and poppy
I have A90J in a moderately light room. I watch a ton of sports and it’s awesome just watched WC in 4K what a treat.. normally Football and baseball
Movies are the strength obviously
i just purchased a 43" for $150.00, i think its worth that price
I finally got a new TV. I got a Sony A9S
Awesome Nuke! The A9S is excellent!! Thank you so much for watching!
‘Simple’ = uncomplicated; easily understood/utilised. A positive term.
‘Simplistic’ = OVERsimplified, often to the detriment of utility or understanding. A negative term.
Ok
I even got the tcl soundbar for it its not bad. I don't really like the sound of the TV itself I like to have some boom when I watch TV. In my opinion the sound on the tcl tv sound like tin cans
Ps i had a old Sony projection TV and that good sound and still had good picture. I moved and couldn't take it with me
I seen the 75 in tcl for 538 wanted to know if its worth it
It's very good for the price my friend
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY i had an onn tv 50 in that was pretty good got it during pandemic for 200 new and it just went black screen so i need another one for my ps5..i broke my 55in lg nano 120hz too that was awsome for ps5..too much bad luck
I hear you my friend. The TCL is decent for the money but keep in mind that it's cheap 😁
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY i have a 55in tcl like 4 years old and its all spotty with white burn ins i think its the 4 series.which tcl tvs are good are the 6 series good
TCL 4 Series tv's do not have up scaling of images it receives. If the original source video is good to excelent quality, the TCL picture will look great. If its mediore or worse, it'll be real bad. The sound is horrendous on this unit. You will need a sound bar.
I was lucky and got a Vizio 2.1, bare bones unit, no woofer, etc., for a 40% clearence price, like $55. So spend/add a hundred plus bucks to your media investment.
I miss a number of higher end features that I'd get with LG, Samsung, or Sony. But have learned to live without them, almost. The TCL does have a stronger OTA, over the air, tv signal receiver than LG & Samsung. I gained a bunch of channels using the same rabbit ears as with the previous tv's. For city dwellers, don' t wast money on anything more than rabbit ears. I tried flat antennas, indoor/outdoor bigger aluminium units that look like scify energy guns. The rabbit ears with UHF loop won. I haven't owned Sony since we entered the digital age, so I can't speak to it's OTA reception.
My tv is on too many hours a day. Both the LG & Samsung did not hold up for such demanding usage. I over heated the power units with such constant use and only got 14 months out of the Samsung.
Knowing it's short comings, the TCL is a good tv for the money, especially when it's on sale. I have no idea how many years I will get out of it. But they will be satisfying if I get 5+ years from it. I do plan on buying Sony next time.
I bought this very same TV to help enhance it I got the updated Roku remote and I paired them together on a basic level it does picture quality pretty well is it that you have to be careful when you used Too Many HDMI ports it tends to shut down I have a Vizio soundbar and it goes out when I plug all my devices and plus to soundbar
55S21, Bought it 2years ago, Walmart been wanting a GAMING TV, No VRR, NO120, No 2.1 HDMI, Buddy of mine brought his Hisense u8H over and put it beside my TCL, 55s21,. Could not tell the difference what so ever, little brighter that's all, so What's the Deal, I just got a good one.
Great comment Ozzy! Thank you for watching
