We are very happy with our new TCL TV! The picture quality is outstanding! My son had recommended this model to us and the early evidence is that he was absolutely right!

Instructions wasn’t clear. I did get a remote or legs had to buy them. So I really didn’t get a deal.

This is a really nice tv picture!
It set up easy enough and I bought a swivel stand for it to set on my tv console.
It’s my first android tv so it took a couple days before I got proficient in having it jump around the inputs and learning how to use voice control. I learned today that voice control also worked to switch automatically to my antenna input for nbc broadcast station.
It’s a bright picture on startup and I needed to backdown the brightness and contrast to my preference. Audio is loud enough but I like using a sound bar for output.
There’s an Ethernet port in addition to wifi (5 and 2.4 band) but I use Ethernet to save wifi bandwidth traffic for my other wifi smart tvs or google tv dinked tvs.
I wish it had Bluetooth but the sound bar supports blue tooth so I’m covered. I have a Sirius xm subscription and also was able to port my Netflix acct to the tv.
Again it’s a nice tv above the entry level smart tv as it has about 40 screen zone dimmers to enhance picture differentiation in low light/dark movie scenes

Only had the tv for a few days but so far so good. The picture quality is great for a QLED under $500. I read some reviews that complained about the brightness, especially when using HDR but so far it’s performed well. Other reviews have also said that the Google interface doesn’t perform well and has a lot of lag. When I initially turn the tv on there is some lag but after it on for just a few minutes there is very minimal lag. My biggest complaint is the position of the inputs. Both the a/v and the power cord inputs are both inputted horizontally and are far too close to the edge of the tv, maybe 4 or 5 inches at most. This means after you hook up 2 or 3 HDMIs and optical cable they stick out past the edge of the screen. Even after tethering them towards the center, they still stick out some. This is a major problem for me and might cause me to return it
