TCL 55-Inch Class S5 UHD 4K LED Smart TV with Fire TV (55S551F, 2024 Model), Dolby Vision, HDR PRO+, Dolby Atmos, Alexa Built-in with Voice Remote, Apple AirPlay 2 Compatibility, Streaming Television

Title: Perfect for Movie Lovers — Still Going Strong After Almost 2 Years I absolutely love this TV. I’m a single woman living alone in a one-bedroom apartment, and I watch a lot of movies and documentaries, so my TV gets plenty of use. The 75-inch screen might sound huge for an apartment, but I honestly think it’s perfect. It makes movie nights at home feel like an actual experience, and the picture quality is fantastic. I’ve had this TV for almost two years now and haven’t had a single issue with it. It’s been reliable, easy to use, and still looks and performs just as well as when I bought it. What’s also impressive is how well it works in completely different spaces. My brother liked mine enough that he bought the exact same TV for his five-bedroom house, and he loves his too. So whether you’re putting it in a one-bedroom apartment like mine or a much larger home, it works beautifully. For the size, quality, and longevity, I think it’s an excellent value. Nearly two years of very regular use with zero problems is about the best review I can give it. If you love movies and want that big-screen feeling at home without spending a fortune, I’d absolutely recommend it. Five stars!

It’s big, bad, and beautiful. Why in the world would anyone spend more than this on a TV when this thing is simply amazing. I read every review on Amazon on this TV before I purchased it. Laggy remote and interface, lack of Xfinity apps.. you name it. Does it take a half second from pressing a button on the remote to translate to the TV- yes definitely. The missing Xfinity app- it’s just in the App Store to download just not preinstalled. Easy. TV was delivered fast by two nice guys in a big Amazon truck on a Saturday. They simply asked where should we put it. I didn’t select any kind of installation or unboxing. This thing in the box is gigantic, but me and my 12 year old lifted that big box with ease. No damaged packaging, brand new not a returned unit, not a scratch on the box. The packing on this is great, for those worried about it getting shipped, unless you dropped it off the truck, I would trust delivery. It took longer to unbox simply due to size than hooking up. Had issues with my router blocking the connection to Amazon to update, but once I figured that out TV updated itself then I linked to my account. I also purchased the bundle with the matching TCL 2.1 soundbar and that was plug and play out of the box with this TV. Installed the missing apps that I had on my last Roku TV, hooked up Xbox, which was also automatically detected and plug and play, and done. Color out of the box was perfect for me. The TV with auto switch to the best possible setting for whatever source is feeding it. Some Amazon and Netflix shows were Dolby Atmos, some not. TV sensed that and just adjusted. Clarity and brightness is superb. Xbox games are fluid and colorful as expected. The size is a monster compared to our older 55” TCL Roku TV. Needed a larger stand as the legs are far wider than the 55”. Like I said, I’m not sure why you would need a $2,000 TV, this does ball that at a fraction of the price. Lastly since it’s Fire TV I get things like my Amazon Music app which thumps with the 2.1 soundbar’s subwoofer. You get Alexa- which now my Echo dots around the house can control the TV. Is awesome. Been buying TCL TV’s for years with no issues. We have 3 in the house. I would recommend this to anyone.

This was not an expensive TV. For the price, I am happy. The picture is flawless and sharp. The color rendering out of the box seems to be pretty good. What I am frustrated with is that it does not play nicely with other components. It is a Fire TV so it wants to drive everything else instead of taking commands from the receiver. The settings are frustrating and worded poorly. It will not turn itself off when there is no signal. I wanted a cheap 65" TV and it totally delivered on that, but in terms of features and integration with an entertainment center, not so great. It is lightweight and I was able to install a wall mount and hang it by myself. It was well packed and very easy to assemble. UPDATE One year and 54 days after purchase, the TV just stopped. I had turned it on and started a program and it just blinked off. It would not turn on again. I attemped numberous combinations of unplugging for various legths of time, pressing the power button, powererd or unpowered for various lengths of time, all with no response. I reached out to TCL and they basically told me i was SOL It was out of warranty. They suggested I take it to a repair shop. They would not do anything to try and deal with the defective TV. They do not ship direct from the manufacturer. They do not offer coupons. They don't do anything to help. I will say that their customer support person was courteous and pleasant to deal with, even though she was powerless to help. I do not recommend that you purchase a TV from this manufacturer. Yes, they are cheap. But it seems that they have carefully designed them to fail immediately after the warranty expires. Avoid this brand. Definitely avoid this model (65S551F)

I always liked TCL style flat screen TVs. I now am the proud owner of TWO of these same TVs and the picture is awesome! The User Interface is awesome! The setup is easy peasy lemony squeezy! The BEST part? It doesn't break the bank! I got this 55 inch beauty with a crisp clear screen that looks like you can reach right into it, as if it was a window, for less than $300 after taxes! Even the remote is awesome, as it has a microphone and Alexa services built right into the device itself. You simply can't go wrong. Once it gets here, the FREE unboxing and delivery to the room of choice allows you to evaluate the condition of your TV and if something is wrong or broken, you can refuse the shipment and it will be taken back for a refund or an exchange. No questions asked. We have had the first one for a year now. This newer one is the same generation, but still brand new in the box that has never been opened. Your money is not badly spent here, it's worth every penny for what you get, and do you get a LOT of good stuff! Yes, it has a VESA pattern on the back for stand mounting, as my older 55 that we had since 2018 just died, so we got this one and for only a quarter of what we paid in 2018! My next one I'm saving for will be the 75 inch beauty for my very large master bedroom, which will only take me about 4 months to save for! Yippee! After that, our TV needs will be fully met! Happy House, Happy Spouse!

A Remarkable 75-Inch Masterpiece — TCL Has Redefined Value, Performance, and Home Entertainment Purchasing the TCL 75-Inch Class S5 UHD 4K LED Smart TV with Fire TV (75S551F, 2024 Model) from AMAZON has been one of the most satisfying tech upgrades I’ve made in years. This TV doesn’t just perform well — it delivers a premium cinematic experience that consistently impresses, night after night. TCL has truly raised the bar with this model, offering flagship-level quality at an unbelievably accessible price. Dazzling Visuals That Transform Your Living Space The moment the screen powers on, the 4K UHD panel shows its strength. Colors are rich and lifelike without ever looking exaggerated. The combination of Dolby Vision and HDR PRO+ adds incredible depth, nuanced shadow detail, and brilliant highlights that bring out layers of realism you simply can’t get on lower-end models. Whether you're watching a nature documentary, an action blockbuster, or sports in real time, the image quality is consistently breathtaking. The contrast performance is excellent, and motion handling is smooth and clean — even during high-speed scenes. Simply put, this TV makes everything look spectacular. Immersive Dolby Atmos Sound That Fills the Room A massive screen deserves powerful sound, and the built-in Dolby Atmos system absolutely delivers. The audio is fuller, richer, and more dimensional than expected from an integrated speaker setup. You get clear dialogue without distortion, vibrant highs, and a surprising sense of spaciousness. For many viewers, the TV’s native sound will be more than enough — and for enthusiasts, it pairs beautifully with external audio systems as well. Fire TV Integration That Makes Streaming a Breeze The smart TV experience is one of this model’s biggest strengths. The Fire TV interface is fast, remarkably intuitive, and polished. You get instant access to thousands of apps, streaming services, and channels without a hint of lag. Alexa Built-in makes everything easier. With quick voice commands, you can search for content, control playback, manage smart home devices, and jump directly into your favorite apps — all hands-free. Everyday use feels effortless, responsive, and well thought out. It’s the type of user experience that enhances your viewing habits instead of getting in the way. A Dream for Apple and Amazon Users Alike The inclusion of Apple AirPlay 2 compatibility is a massive bonus that sets this model apart. Casting content, sharing photos, streaming videos, or mirroring your screen from your Apple devices is seamless and reliable. This level of cross-platform flexibility is rare at this price point and makes the TV a perfect hub for modern households with mixed ecosystems. Fantastic for Gaming and Sports Enthusiasts Gamers will appreciate the responsive input control and smooth performance, making gameplay fluid and engaging. Sports fans will love the crisp clarity and smooth motion, even during fast-paced action or quick camera pans. The 75-inch screen makes everything feel larger, more dynamic, and far more immersive. Build Quality and Design That Feel Premium The ultra-slim profile and sleek bezel design make the TV look far more expensive than it actually is. It blends elegantly into any living room, home theater, or office setting. TCL didn’t cut corners — even the construction feels sturdy and intentional. A Price-to-Performance Ratio That’s Practically Unmatched What truly elevates the TCL 75S551F is its enormous value. It brings together high-end features — Dolby Vision, HDR PRO+, Fire TV, Dolby Atmos, Alexa voice capability, AirPlay 2, and a massive 75-inch display — at a price that undercuts many lesser models. You’re not just buying a TV. You’re investing in a complete entertainment upgrade that rivals the experience of TVs costing hundreds more Final Verdict: A Showstopper in Every Sense This TV is an absolute triumph. TCL has delivered a 2024 model that hits every important mark: picture quality, smart features, sound performance, design, ease of use, and exceptional value. It has elevated my viewing experience to a level that genuinely makes movie nights, gaming sessions, and everyday streaming something to look forward to. If you want a cinematic, modern, beautifully designed 75-inch television that far outperforms its price tag, look no further. The TCL 75S551F is a standout winner and an easy, enthusiastic recommendation.

UPDATE 12/10/24: While everything I wrote still stands, I have discovered you CAN NOT disable the SLEEP TIMER.! This is a HUGE DESIGN FLAW and IMMENSELY AGGRAVATING & INCONVENIENT! Example: Every time I pause a show (to answer phone etc), the TV goes into Sleep Mode and I have to Start the process All Over again; Go to & click Hulu (any app), click my name, scroll to show I was watching, Click on show, then Click "play". Unbelievable waste of time and IRRITATING to No End! While researching how to disable the sleep timer, I found so many forums with many, manh people discusing this issue and how P!ssed off everyone is about this horrible issue. Why they don't have "Never" option in the sleep timer is the most idiotic oversight. If I had discovered this within my return window, I would have got rid of this TV. Unless they fix this in the future, I will NEVER EVER buy another Fire TV! ROKU is so much more user-friendly and not trying to force things on the user (like Amazon TV). Are there work arounds? Yes there are but they are only temporary and jusr another step you have to redo offten. The Color is fantastic and the picture is pretty great as far as backlight, brightness, and sharpness. It seemed smaller than my last TCL 55" but I measured it and it was the same size. I'm still trying to get used to the Home page layout of the Fire OS - I prefer Roku. 3 things that bothered me about this T.V.: 1.) I'm disappointed that the 3.5 mm headphone jack will not output to my multimedia speakers (with subwoofer), like my last TCL. I did all the proper settings and no sound at all. Luckily, the onboard TV speaker sound is better than most TV's if you tweak the settings a bit. It's good enough that I didn't feel compelled to buy a sound bar immediately (may get one eventually). 2.) Like other reviews mentioned, there is a lag sometimes. It's just enough to be annoying but nothing to pull your hair out over...so far. I will update if anything gets worse with time. 3) This is my worst pet peeve about this TV - I hate the remote! It's too long, overly sensitive (easy to trigger), and not very efficient with the button layout imo. But I have small hands so maybe that's why. Having Alexa makes up for some of my dislikes. All in all, this is an excellent TV for the price and a great deal. I like that it has a Media Player (app) so I can see stuff from a thumb drive right on my T.V. Lets see how long it lasts. The T.V. that I was replacing, a 55" TCL 5 series with Roku, the video went out 4 months after the 4 year extended warranty expired. Good thing I didn't pay for the extended warranty lol.

The TCL 65-inch S5 UHD 4K Smart TV has a sharp, clear picture with vibrant colors. The large screen is great for movies, sports, and streaming, and the smart features are easy to navigate. I also like the sleek design, which looks great in the room. Overall, it’s a great TV for the price and a nice upgrade for a home entertainment setup

For $259 with free Prime shipping, I couldn't pass this up. 55 inch, UHD (4K), HDR10+, Dolby Vision+, DTX, Clear Voice Audio, Alexa-enabled remote with FireTV functionality. Regarding the exasperated reviews I took note of before buying, some are valid and others are a few updates from being resolved. 👇 The picture is absolutely customizable, and great at this price. After a few necessary and mostly automatic firmware and software updates, you can customize almost everything: picture mode - standard, movie, dynamic (vivid/showroom), natural, custom, and also dynamic backlight, dynamic contrast, local contrast, etc. You can fine tune color, brightness... toggle game mode, etc. *However, these settings are app specific, and you can only access the picture setting with each app open. What works for ad-supported HD Netflix and Prime 4K XRay are not always the same. Similarly, each of the 4 HDMI sources is handled the same way. Luckily these are saved after first setup on each, and default to Standard if you don't mess with them. Sound modes: Not great, rear firing speaker with no wall mount audio settings. Still, it does have Clear Voice for late night listening and Audible books and podcasts, as well as many other audio modes and settings, including a manual equalizer or pre-sets. Plan on an external speaker if you are an audio-cinephile. I'm perfectly happy with the sound in my place, because I have neighbors. Lag Between Apps: yes, more from using the preset app remote buttons than while launching the same app from the Home screen. Otherwise, the remote and FireTV functionality is typical. Fandango will have a blue screen if you don't stop play, and then exit to the Fandango app Home, before exiting back to the FireTV Home (or powering off) on the remote. Otherwise, you have to restart the TV to get past the blue screen (Fandango only). It's the same on GoogleTV. It's the app, not FireTV. Setup is easy. I had no screen damage or any other defects so far. Software updates required 3 separate restarts, including 1 just for the remote. I would recommend not skipping these, lest you become exasperated. There is no digital tuner, but a $10 antenna will get a surprising number of local channels which can be added via 1 click Channel Scan to other free streaming channel services (Tubi, Pluto, Xumo, Prime, Peacock, Max, etc.). These are all pulled together seamlessly on the Live TV tab of Home. (After installing the apps and logging in, of course. Use your phone for this. Trust me). All things considered, probably the best bang for the buck at this price point you will find.
