I think there is some confusion on this model. This is a net new TV from TCL in 2023. This is not a replacement for the 5 series. TCL changed the naming convention of their lineup in 2023. The Q lineup is Q6,Q7, and QM8 (only model with mini LED). The Q6 isn't a direct replacement for the series 6 from last year either as it lacks FALD and 120hz native panel. From what i can see, the Q5 and Q6 have the same specs on TCL's website, and are the same price on their site. The 55" Q5 just seems to be a Best Buy exclusive. The Q6 is currently $350, so if specs are the same seems like a great deal.

I bought the 50 inch of this tv back in October when it was $150 at Best Buy. I should have played around with it and tested it out, but I immediately needed to mount it as I was replacing another TV.
I'm glad it's a bedroom TV that's only used for late night Netflix or sports because it is not that great in quality. Not to mention that the Android TV interface is incredibly laggy!

I bought the same one haven't unboxed it yet, I am going to use it for the kids game room/movie room in the basement. Sounds like it will be perfect for that. Thanks for the feedback!

I have an older model of the 5 series. It isn't bad. I don't use the Roku though. I throw a FireStick on it and call it a day.

Do not see why not. We have a similar Walmart tv smaller that has lived outside in the Pacific north west for 7 years now.

Thanks. Guess the next question would be is there a better sub-$250 deal for a 55 or bigger TV

I own the previous version of this TV, I bought it almost exactly a year ago for $200. I use it in my bedroom. For the price, it is a fantastic value. This newer model is slightly better than mine because it has more lighting zones, but otherwise they are very similar. I wouldn't suggest it as a primary TV. For a bedroom or secondary viewing spot, it is quite good.

I would like for someone to compare the two.
