Deal History
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Def go through Costco for the warranty and customer service rather than bestbuy "geeksquad."
Personally, I prefer Roku over Google TV and for a TCL the price seems about right. 85" is tempting if you're just going to watch sports or host movie nights.
I got the 58" version of this about two weeks ago and it has been surprisingly good! I'm super impressed with what we get considering the price. Given, when you blow something up to 85", it can become a different beast altogether.
However, if you're watching 4k HDR content on this thing, I expect that it will do very well. The biggest thing is knowing how to use the TV effectively. It handles black levels like a champ even without QLED technology. For most videos on Youtube, turning off motion smoothing is recommended. Motion smoothing is great for Sports action, but it can cause processing issues on some content like Scenic landscape videos where the camera is constantly panning different locations.
Also, for casting while the TV is off, TCL idiotically puts the feature in the Wi-Fi section instead of the Power section. Once I figured this out, this TV literally checked all the boxes that I need it for. Just make sure you don't have sunlight shining harshly on it and the colors will really pop.

Did you notice that the power button on the remote doesn't turn on/off the tv unless it's pointed at the tv (all the other buttons work on bluetooth but the power button doesn't)?
Uggghhh 60hz. Complete trash and will probably die after 2-3 years. These like Hisense are cheap but they break easily and have software issues. Hope you love moving large, heavy objects for fun because you will have to junk this much sooner than something like a Sony.
I have 3 .. Yes 3 tcl's .. a 65"..50"…43"…ALL work wonderfully… the 65" is 6 years old.. I take the 50" with me on All my vacations.. flawless.. I also have a 75" LG and 75" Samsung… I would Highly recommend TCL
