Over the years, TCL has become known for its value-focused approach to TV design, offering up TVs that may not be the best of the best but manage to offer up solid feature sets for approachable prices, and this 55-inch TCL QLED TV doesn't look to be, on paper, be any different.

You're getting a 55-inch 4K QLED panel equipped with a full suite of HDR support, including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. Plus, you're getting Google TV's smarts built-in on top of familiar features like virtual assistant support, Wi-Fi, and 3 HDMI ports.

For the gamers out there, you might not be getting luxuries like VRR or 120Hz support, but with 4K/60Hz, you will be able to use this TCL set with a next-gen console, like PS5 or Series X, and not feel held too much back, at least on paper. In general, QLED TVs like this don't tend to cost so little.

While you'll be able to find TVs with more features on the market and potentially better image quality, there's a good chance you'll struggle to find one under $300. If you've been dreaming of a new TV but don't want to spend a small fortune on a top-of-the-range set, perhaps consider this TCL QLED.
