TCL 50CF630K 126cm (50 inch) QLED Fire TV (4K Ultra HD, HDR 10+, Dolby Vision & Atmos, Smart TV, Game Master, 60Hz Motion clarity, Press & Ask Alexa), Black

Bought to replace defunct old tv and what an amazing piece of kit, especially for the price. Setup was a little fiddly as the fire-tv needed to download several updates before it properly came to life but I am more than happy with the whole package. The QLED display gives a crystal clear picture, albeit a little too saturated with colour but that’s easily adjusted and cleverly for different inputs. The feed via a terrestrial antenna is balanced to my preference, separately to the inputs from cable and my old dvd player. Sound is also impressive with a nice balance from the inbuilt speakers and a sufficiently powerful bass. One of the best features is the compatibility with Apple AirPlay which allows big screen access to photos and video from my iPhone or iPad. The ability to play media from my GoPro by using the phone or pad is brilliant, with true 4K video quality too! As for the price point, well it took a fair amount of reading through previous reviews to convince me that the TCL Fire-TV was really as good as it is. I know my son paid in excess of £2k for his similarly specified Sony TV and there’s absolutely nothing to choose between them, apart from the massive difference in price.

At first i thought there was something wrong with the TV, after filtering all the instructions on running it in i want able to watch anything in amazon, Netflix or YouTube. Despite the home screen showing on all of the above apps it just wouldn't play, in the end out of frustration i turned it off, when i turned it back in everything was working great, so if you're having the same problem remember once you've tuned it in make sure you turn it off then on again to complete the running, it doesn't mention this in the very limited instructions. I've now had the TV for three weeks and i couldn't be happier, i turned the back-light to 100%, this ensures you get excellent colours and really dark/ black areas, best picture quality I've had on a telly. The inbuilt speakers are also top quality, they are so good I've not connected my soundbar (TV is in main bedroom). For the money you pay for this you can't go wrong, fantastic value for money.

I just bought the 50" version in the Black Friday sale and I have to say I was a bit sceptical on how good it would be for this low price. Picture first; after playing around with the picture for over a week and turning off some of the noise cancelling I think I pretty much have it almost there and now the picture quality is impressive for the price. Great colours and as long as you select the correct mode: Sport, Game, Movie etc then once tweaked its very good. However, I have noticed that the picture starts to fade when you move out of the direct viewing angle which is a bit disappointing (hence 1 star deducted). Sound: I have mine through a amp so can't really comment. I use mine as an Internet TV so no aerial connected. The apps all work well I have Prime, Disney+, Netflix, BBC iPlayer and then I found the first big issue. There is no ITV Hub App in the APP store (soon to be ITVX which you may have already on your mobile phone). Yes there is Freeeview Play which has ITV Hub embedded but no live TV only catch-up on this APP. I looked on the ITV Hub website and saw that ITV Hub is not supported on older devices - one being the TCL 6 Series. Hmm not good on a brand new TV. To get around the problem I plugged my 4K Firestick in the back from my old TV and hey ho I have it back but plugging a Firestick into a Fire TV is not a good answer - one star deducted. I have posted a question on Amazon but not got a reply as yet. So in conclusion a good value TV with a good picture once you mess around with it a bit. My biggest worry is the software and will it be updated to keep up with APP updates like ITVX; I hope so or this TV may have to go back as I don't want to have to plug other devices into it to get the basics. UPDATE: I can now confirm ITVX is available and works well.

This is exactly what i needed for my new office looks so good! Pros - Amazing picture quality - Really small bezel which gives it a modern look - Included tv legs are sleek and non invasive - Easy to mount to a wall bracket - Easy to set up and get going - Great picture quality out of the box - The user interface is nice and clean and easy to navigate - No need to buy a fire stick as it is intergrated - all ports on the back of the tv are facing towards the side of the tv so if you are mounting close to a wall this won't be an issue - Included remote is very nice, it is an adaptive fire stick remote with extra controls - Voice control on the remote makes it even easier to navigate and search things Cons - The audio although not bad does lack some depth but this may be more clear to myself as I usually watch media through wireless surround sound headphones (this won't be an issue if you are hooking up to a soundbar or headphones as also has audio optical port) - Although fire TV user interface is my preferred choice as it is nice and clean this may not suit everyone
