TCL 65-Inch Q65 QLED 4K UHD Smart TV with Google TV (65Q651G, 2024 Model) S45H S Class 2.0 Channel Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos

Short version: I love our new TCL TV!Long version: I was worried that a $375 TV would leave me with some buyer's remorse, but nope! I'm quite pleased with it. My only complaint is that the Google TV startup was slow. Fortunately there's a setting, easily accessible via the "settings" gear on the remote, to have the TV start up with whatever input it last used, and that speeds the TV power-on cycle significantly.Speaking of settings, it's delightful to finally have a TV that gives me proper control over the picture without needing to install an app on my phone. The HDMI Audio Return Channel worked straightaway, no issues, but we did have to make sure that our sound system was plugged into HDMI 3.We're not using the built-in apps on the TCL. We have an external ROKU and a PC plugged into HDMI 1 and 2, so we already have what we need without those apps.In summary: assuming it doesn't suddenly burn out or explode or otherwise cease to work, it's a *fantastic* deal for $375. It's still day one, so that jury won't return for a while.It's possible that I'm just happy to not be dealing with our old Vizio TV anymore.

All the formal reviews from CNET, RTINGS, etc. say that this is a budget and average TV. They say that the picture isn't that great because it doesn't have local dimming, so it doesn't get black enough to provide good contrast in a dark room, and it's not bright enough to be used in bright room. They also say the viewing angle is bad, so it's not a good TV in a group setting.Our last TV was 2009 Panasonic plasma that we had been using all this time--still works BTW. It was fine, providing 1080p display. Going to this TV was a major upgrade. It is definitely a budget TV, because I was able to buy an 85" for $800! Try finding as good deal on a 85" with anything else. We use it in our living room and we have had no problem with the viewing angles. For us, the picture is immaculate supporting all kinds of High Def formats that it auto-detects when watching movies, streaming, or playing games. The GoogleTV interface is super easy to use, and we can cast from both our Android and Apple devices (via Apple AirPlay). The picture seems plenty bright to us, though you do have to deal with glare if you got light shining directly on it from your windows during the day. At night it looks beautiful to us. We do not have other TVs next to it for a comparison, so we can't tell how "bad" it is. We hosted a couple game nights watching college football and basketball, and it has been awesome. My friends all thought the picture was great and loved how big the screen is.Also, the speakers are actually really good in this TV. I'm not currently using my sound bar, because I don't really need to. To be fair, I haven't tried buying an eArc HDMI cable and hooking it up yet, but I have been very impressed with the built-in speakers. There are also a lot of settings for the speaker setup that include AI to monitor and control the sound.I have no complaints with this TV.

we are absolutely thrilled with our TCL 75-inch Q65 QLED 4K UHD smart tv! the picture quality is stunning, with vibrant colors and deep blacks that really make everything pop. the 4K resolution delivers incredible detail, whether we’re watching movies, sports, or playing games. setting up the tv was a breeze, and the smart features are easy to navigate with apps like netflix, hulu, and youtube all built-in. the sound quality is great too, though we paired it with a soundbar for that extra boost. overall, it’s an amazing tv at an unbeatable price. highly recommend!

I was more than happy with the picture quality of this TV considering the price. The sound from the internal speakers is better than I'd expect as well, but I'm using an external soundbase. I'd give it 5 stars except for the fact that when using the optical output, the audio lags the video slightly, but noticeably. When using blue tooth out, the lag is much worse. I've tried it with different earbuds, headphones and speakers and it's definitely the TV. I've tried to correct it using the "Audio Delay" feature under the Audio menu but it doesn't seem have much effect. If you don't use bluetooth you probably won't notice it. Otherwise, it's a great set for 300 bucks.
