55Q7C-UK QD-Mini LED TV, 4K HDR Premium 2600, Smart TV Powered by Google TV (Dolby Vision IQ & Atmos, HVA Panel, Audio by Bang & Olufsen, 144Hz Motion Clarity Pro)

The first TV had a failed back light, replaced the next day by Amazon. Superb service. The working TV is amazing for the price. I prefer brightness over pure blacks (OLED) for TV watching. This mini LED deals with blooming well, however, is noticeable with high brightness against light words or small objects against pure blacks. If that's a deal breaker then it's OLED for you. For bright room TV watching it's superb. HDR really pops, Google TV OS is nice with limited lag on this TV. I got the 55 inch version and couldn't be happier for the cost. TCL knocked it out the park this year. This isn't far off from my Samsung QN90D which is about 50% more expensive. Would highly recommend this TV as a second TV or bedroom TV.

This is a great TV exceptional value for price, I bought as a temporary replacement for a big brand model I had which got damaged during a move. I had planned to upgrade it during sale season but I'm not going to bother. - Screen is excellent, quality blacks with no ghosting or other weird artifacts - 144Hz motion is excellent (very good with consoles) - The sound is great - Google TV is extremely responsive (unlike my previous TV) - I don''t watch terrestrial/live TV so cant comment on its performance in that regard, but for streaming and games it's very good. This model had a couple complimentary reviews so I took a chance on it and I am surprised at how good this TV is for the price, great job TCL

Terrific TV. It replaces the 65" Samsung. I looked at a 75" Samsung but when I researched TLC and videos on YouTube I decided to go with TLC in the full knowledge that Amazon always accepts returns if you are not satisfied. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is it lost a star for the stand. The stand is more plastic than carbon composite as with the Samsung. This caused the 75" TV to tilt forward. We had to put some supports under the front of the stand. Otherwise wonderful picture and the sound system is very good, though not exceptional but I saved over £1200 on the identical Samsung and Sony offerings. Looking forward to all those Christmas Movies 👌

My living room already has a fantastic 65inch LG OLED, and I was going to buy a smaller OLED for the bedroom but thought I'd take a chance on The TCL 50QM8. Good (and much cheaper!) decision! After a 15 mins physical set-up followed by connectivity set-up via the Google Home app on my phone, my fussy eyes were immediately happy with the superfine colours, including wonderfully deep black levels that I got used to on my OLED. Sound wise, I was surprised by how loud it gets; overall sound quality is superior to other sets of this size and perfect for day-to-day viewing. For bass lovers like me, my old soundbar and sub will be handy, but they are not essential; the QM8 is a very good all-round performer. I was worried that I might be disappointed with the viewing angles, but they are absolutely fine. The split/multi-screen feature was a surprise, allowing me to watch live TV and You Tube (or something else) side by side from my phone via screencast. I can then switch between both feeds to listen to the audio for the one I want to hear. As other reviewers have pointed out, BBC iPlayer, 4, and other UK specific TV apps are not included, so a letter in the box asks you to make contact with TCL if you require a fix. I contacted them and they put me through hoops with their requirement for proof of purchase in the form of a VAT invoice. What/why?!! My official Amazon order invoice/number wasn't good enough. So, after a back and forth of emails and me sending the invoice from Amazon, the Chromecast dongle was sent the next day. TCL, that's 0 stars from me for your polite but nonsense apps/dongle issue. If you're going sell your televisions in the UK, then please ensure that they perform as expected out of the box. The missing apps dongle nightmare aside, the remote works well but isn't backlit like the US model. The voice control works hands-free or by the press of a button, and you can also use Alexa to control functionality. The Google smart features work fast enough for me, and definitely quicker than my LG Web OS. Overall, this is a great TV at a reasonable price. Update, July 2024: I decided to return the QM8 and go for the C38K 55 inch instead, mostly because the picture quality is just as good but is 1500 nits rather than the over-bright 2000 nits (for my bedroom) on the QM8 - as confirmed by TCL, but I wanted the built-in subwoofer, which makes an audible difference, even if only slight. The price was exactly the same, thanks to an Amazon deal offer. Again, the picture quality and overall performance is the same, but bass sub matters to me. TCL also confirmed that they will be rolling out a firmware update within the next month or so that will install the missing Apps, doing away with the need for a dongle. We shall see! Update Nov 2024: TCL have added many TV Apps including 4, ITVX. Still no BBC iPlayer app, but you can cast it to the TCL from your phone and it works just fine. Will update further in due course.

Fantastic TV. Android control system is fast with plenty of memory. Picture is really good and sound better than most out there although I did connect the Bose sound bar which is also very good. For the price of this set you just can not go wrong. 5 stars from me.

Feel free to buy this TV (details below), but use another vendor instead of Amazon. Summary for quick readers: - TV quality is excellent – bright, colourful, great size, and Google UI is fine. - Ordered two TVs with mounting; only one arrived and was installed as planned. - Second TV delivery failed, replacement was dropped off with no mounting. - Multiple escalation calls, promised call-backs never happened. - Mounting offered over two weeks later, unless I bought a new TV where slots were available sooner. - Good product – poor Amazon fulfilment/service experience. Consider buying elsewhere. Details I’ve set up one unit and the other is still unresolved for reasons explained below. The TV I have opened - 85 inches - is excellent and really fills the room. It’s very colourful, gets very bright, and the Google interface is surprisingly fine. I did need to tweak some dynamic settings like noise reduction, as they don’t work well for gaming or certain shows or sports. Overall it’s a solid piece of kit, and assuming the other one works as expected, the contrast with the service makes the experience even more disappointing. I ordered two TVs with mounting, given the size and fragility. One arrived on time on 29th Nov and was mounted. The second, scheduled for the same day, didn’t arrive. While they were mounting the first one, the tracking for the second changed to “undeliverable”. I called customer support, who initially told me to wait until 5th Dec - a full week - just for a resolution. I escalated and pushed for a replacement, which was confirmed for delivery on 1st Dec but arrived early on Sunday 30th instead. However, instead of mounting it, they just left it on my doorstep and left. I phoned support again and was told the services team would contact me within 24 hours. No contact. I called again, they escalated, and I waited 48 hours with still no response. I phoned again on the 3rd, and after chasing, the services team finally replied on the 4th offering the earliest mounting date as 15th Dec - completely unacceptable. Yet when I check Amazon with my postcode, they can mount a new TV on the 6th Dec if I purchase another unit. They claim the mounting service is handled by a dedicated team, which is why the delay is longer. I don’t believe that. It’s peak season, and I doubt the heavy/bulky services team is driving around with empty vans waiting to mount TVs. It feels more likely that new purchases take priority because they bring in new revenue. If you’re thinking of buying this from Amazon, let this be an example of how they may fail to honour commitments once they have your money and leave you stuck if there’s nothing extra for them to gain.

Easy set up ... very impressed with the overall quality . Picture is amazing . I have no bad words regarding this product. 10/10

So far, so good. This is the second TCL TV that I have purchased in the 2 years, and again, I'm not disappointed with taking a punt on TCL. Moving away from the big name brands of TV's that I have had in the past such as Samsung & Sony can fill you with a bit of trepidation but there is simply nothing to worry about. IMAGE - As seems to be standard with TCL the settings the TV ships with (picture wise), do need a fair bit of tinkering. In my case I had to up the clarity of the image and take a little bit of the brightness out, but once you've done that it's crystal clear. Hands down, it's one of the best images I've seen (I've also got a 55" Samsung OLED - this competes with that!). I've had zero issues with colour banding, ghosting or other modern day TV maladies. SOUND - The sound is exceptional - I was looking at getting a Hisense soundbar to beef up the sound but it's simply not needed. Dialogue is crystal clear and the bass is just enough (you can adjust all this to your needs though, so if you want more bass just up it in the audio menu). The sound is punchy though. OS - I had read on other TCL TVs horror stories with the Google TV operating system (which TBF I had encountered on my old Sony Bravia), but again whatever processor TCL is using it's fast, no lag, no menu hanging. So 10/10 for functionality. TV and remote - all was shipped in a well packaged box, it arrived on time with no damage, everything feels well made, and once you've paired up the Bluetooth remote you are away to the races. I've even paired up the TV with my PS5/PS4 controller, making going through menus even faster. Aerial/Terrestrial TV - It offers these services, but who really uses them these days. The one fault I may lay at the feet of TCL - again, if you are watching terrestrial TV or older content, the way TCL TVs process this image is not ideal so you will get a very distorted image. Beyond that, this is a steal of a TV! I just wish I had waited till the Amazon Prime Day deals - £85 cheaper! Oh well. Buy this TV, you will not be disappointed with your purchase, this rivals the big boys.
