The volume is loud and adequate for a flat-screen, but a sound bar or ARC is required. The ARC turns on my surround sound when I turn on the TV.

    My first 4k TV, good picture but still some issues
    3 Stars
    My first 4k TV, good picture but still some issues
    BackgroundThis is my second HD television and my first 4k TV. I don't usually like to pay the early adopter tax on stuff but I was looking for another good upgrade from my 42 inch 1080p monitor (truth be told I also wanted to re-purpose the 42 inch TV for the man cave). I had been looking at the reviews and recommendations on several sites and had been watching the TCL brand for a bit. I was about to bit the bullet a few months ago when I saw the announcement for their new 2017 models. The P607 series seemed to fit in the sweet spot for me. It had some of the nice upgrades only found on much more expensive screens and came in at a very reasonable price. It didn't promise to be the best but it had a ton of potential.ShippingSo the day came of the release on Amazon and I preordered it. Amazon kept telling me when it should ship but when the day came I wasn't given tracking number. A couple more days went by and still no tracking number. I was about to call to see what was up with my order since it was supposed to have shipped 3 days prior and then I finally got notified of the tracking number. Surprise surprise it had shipped when they said and was going to be delivered later that same day (for some reason the system just didn't want to update with a tracking number). So if you are ever excited about your order and are wondering why it hasn't shipped don't fret, it may arrive before you know it!SetupAfter the screen arrived I took it out of the box and got some help from my wife in getting the legs on bottom. They were easy to install, just 4 screws. I planned on mounting it but I wanted to make sure everything worked fine first before going through the trouble. I liked that it only had a 2 prong outlet since some of the outlets in my house don't have a ground and that is true for the one that the old TV is plugged into (I had to use an adapter for that one). Everything powered on fine and I went through the setup process. It seemed to be a bit harder that it should have been. I was using my smartphone to connect to the Roku website and generate a PIN to plug into the TV. For some reason the site would time out and I would have to keep on generating a new code. And I'm not one that gets confused by technology by any means (I've worked in IT for 8 years and as a software engineer for 9 after that). I was finally able to get it linked to my Roku account. I picked what additional channels I wanted installed. After it went to the home screen I was greeted by a nice surprise. It had apparently carried over my channels from my Roku 3 account that I still had hooked up to the old TV. While I had to put back in the passwords and account info from some of my streaming channels some of my other ones just worked (sorry, can't recall all of the ones that carried over but I do think my Amazon Video stuff carried over without having to put in the account info again). I played around with it some and it seemed to have some speed issues with my 5Ghz band on my router so I switched it to 2.4Ghz and it didn't have any more issues. After testing that everything seemed to come on fine I went through the trouble of mounting it. My TV mount isn't the most convenient but it's strong and stable . Luckily for it size the TV is quite light too. I'd still recommend getting someone else's help but it's doable on your own.ObservationsI kept the default settings on initial check but then switched it to "movie" mode and loaded up the Trolls movie. A very colorful movie with a lot of detail in the textures in the characters. Actually, I hadn't noticed how much detail there was on my old TV. Sure, it still looked good on that screen, but the larger screen size, and whatever other combination of technologies they had (the source was only 1080p, not a 4k movie) still made the movie "pop" a lot more. I noticed little details that I hadn't before (and I'd seen the movie at least a dozen times thanks to my 2 year-old twins). The setup of my antenna was very easy too and it was nice having everything on one remote again. Before I was having to track two remotes (the Roku remote and TV remote). I haven't tested the earphone capability yet but that worked well for the Roku 3 so I'm thinking it will work just fine. When the movies faded to black it seemed like the TV was off whereas my old TV had a lot of backlight bleed and it was easy to see where the screen was in the dark room (it even lit up the room a little bit). Not this TV, nice and solid black, sort of like the TV was off.IssuesI've had a few issues with the TV here and there. The first problem I only noticed when the Trolls movie got to some scenes where there was a solid color on left side of the screen. There seems to be some sort of damage that was done (sort of looks like a bubble with black ripples). It doesn't appear to be from any external event (like shipping). It's not very noticeable when the screen has a mixed color but on solid colors it becomes very obvious. I've uploaded a picture to show this. From straight on and through my camera it isn't as obvious (though it is in person) but by taking a picture of the left side at a 45 degree angle the camera picked it up easily.Besides the ripple issue I've had it where Netflix wouldn't load (kept on spinning the load screen) and I couldn't get it to reset until I unplugged the TV and plugged it back in (powering off and back on didn't help). I've had to use this reset a couple of other times since. I'm not sure if it is software issue, just something with the Netflix channel (it is my most used channel) but hopefully it will be fixed in software updates.I've also noticed at times a rapid flickering where the image goes between black and the correct image. It doesn't happen lot, but it has happened a few times so it wasn't a one time issue.Finally, the last thing that seems to be a consistent problem (I noticed it while watching Moana on the Vudu channel). Whenever the movie is first starting up (when it is giving the legend story and all of the wavy patterns are on the screen) I notice a lot of what looks like static in the black border beyond the normal screen image. It's not like white noise, more like checkered lighter gray that dance and shift around. It's not noticeable from straight on, but one of my couches sits off at a 45 degree angle and it's very distracting when watching from that one. Interestingly enough, when I loaded Moana on Netflix (rather than Vudu) it didn't have the same issue. So it may have something to do with the video source. I also haven't notice the issue with other movies on Vudu. So it may not have anything to do with this TV, or it might just be the way it handles certain black screen data from specific sources.OverallI really like the features of this TV. I like the size and really liked the price. I don't have other 4k TV's I can compare it with, besides the ones I checked in the stores. It definitely has some nice features. There are some frustrating experiences with the occasional freeze ups, the original setup issues, and the quality control issues with the screen itself. I'd still recommend the product, but it remains to be seen how well it will last. With these issues already in place I'm hoping it isn't a downhill spiral. Things could actually get better over time (except for my screen issues) as long as the cause is firmware, channel versions, or video source issues and not an indication of defects in my particular unit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a steal
    Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2017
    Couple of weeks ago, I had my mind set to drop $1500 on a Sony X900e 55' for my living room. The order was placed and delivery was scheduled. As I continued to do my research, I stumbled upon the AVS forum where one of the reviewers was having a first look article on the new TCL 55P607 that was suppose to release in mid-June. Long story short, the reviewer convinced me that at this price point, this TV would not only be a steal, but was going to have a major impact on the current market for 4k TVs.

    Fast forward couple of weeks, the TV is finally shipping. As customers began receiving their TVs, many of them seemed to be receiving defective units. Some units had severe backlight bleeding, some had clouding, some had flashlighting (all of which are fairly well explained on sites like Rtings.com, a website where they review popular consumer TVs), and some even had severe cracked screens or other frank damages. The major origins for first shipments of the set came from Georgia, and Fedex delivered the sets via ground shipping the entire way, even if the destination was all the way in California, so these damages were not completely surprising. Needless to say, I was prepared to receive a bad unit.

    When the TV was finally delivered, there was a moderate sized puncture hole in one corner of the screen, as well as some tearing damage to some of the corners, but nothing too severe. By myself, I was able to unpackage the set slowly and safely. I opened up both ends of the box while having the set stay standing. Followed by removing the major packing component, which is a thick and sturdy cardboard, to loosen the packaging. After that, I was able to pull the box slowly from above revealing the set. Anytime I handled the TV, I paid special attention not to pinch the screen, and most of the pressure applied is at the bottom center of the set. I then placed the TV on a flat and cushioned surface facing up to install the columns, and slowly carried it to the top of my TV stand, all without too much trouble. I knew the bezel was fragile, so I made sure all my movements were gentle and planned out.

    Setting up the TV itself was a breeze. You have heard the interface being awesome, and it really is. Fast response, intuitive and simple. I am pairing the TV up with my AV receiver Denon w1300x which was a breeze as well.

    Colors are vibrant just as expected.

    Gaming on the TV is a pleasure with its low input lag. There is an option to turn on "Game mode" which further improves the input lag to the incredible 1x ms range, but I never use it, as I don't do competitive gaming on TV/console. At 3x ms input lag, this set is perfectly fine for a great gaming experiencing with 4k HDR. Uncharted 4 looked absolutely stunning.

    I don't have cable TV, but watching shows on this TV is a simple and enjoyable experience. You can search and download apps easily. I do recommend an Ethernet connection for streaming contents, as I personally cannot stand buffering. Roku offers 2 months of HBO NOW with the purchase of this TV, which I have activated and have been enjoyning. Fandango Now offers many movies and TV shows for rent for a reasonable price. Netflix and Amazon offer many 4k/HDR options as well.

    I eventually came to testing backlight bleeding with the youtube BB testing video. With FALD turned completely off. I have moderate bleeding in the bottom left corner of my screen, and some mild bleeding in the other corners. However, with FALD turned on, these are not normally noticeable. The only times I've noticed any sort of bleeding outside of purposely testing for bleeding was when my AV receiver changes source. Movies with letterboxes are completely pitch black and non-distracting.

    I do notice pretty significant reflection depending on my ambient lighting/contents on TV at any particular moment, which would be about the only gripe I have with my new TV.

    Overall, I am very happy with this particular purchase. I was surprised that I got a 4k tv for less than half of what I was originally going to spend on a 55 inch screen. There appears to be some quality control issue with this first batch of shipment. If TCL sort this out, this will be the set I recommend to anyone currently in the market for a 4k TV.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best bang for buck by a wide margin.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2017
    updated 8/4/2017
    Amazon finally sent me a replacement unit and its in good shape with improved packaging. The last one shipped in just the TV box, this one had another box + bubble wrap. TCL also contacted me about a easy and more immediate replacement, but I just decided to wait it out as to not have to go without a TV.

    Anyway, I'm incredibly happy with this TV, the picture is superb, especially for its price range. The only thing close is a vizio M, but it's also more expensive and seems a bit dimmer to me, this one also beats it in the gaming department with less lag vs the M which shocked me. The 2016 M had pretty decent input lag, but the 2017 took a real big step back and is up to about 38ms (As measured by rtings review). This one hums along at 15ms, making it one of the best if not the best that I know of.

    Random thoughts

    Forza Horizon 3 looks and plays great in HDR.

    Try out some of those Youtube 4k-8k + HDR videos Those were my first real eye openers

    Sadly my internet isn't good enough to subscribe to 4k netflix, but there was one particular scene in good 'ole 1080p during iron fist that really caught my eye, when he was sitting on Joy Meachum's front step with bright fruit, rose petals and candles, it looked incredible, the contrast was amazing.

    I use vivid settings, tv on "brighter" mode and the separate brightness (in advanced settings) I usually leave 45-50 and I turn sharpness down to 10 and normal temperature, but its all preferences, just find what you like..

    Oh and the Roku part of the TV is nice and fast. Never used one before and now I'm a big fan.

    Thank you for the find my remote feature - a simple but great thing.

    my nitpicks are

    viewing angles for the perfect picture are pretty slim, but it's not a big issue and all VA panel TVs suffer the same.

    Roku remote is nice but wish you could customize the quick launch buttons, I don't use Hulu, Sling or Starz and I wish there was a quick scrolling method. For example scrolling through all of Direct TV Now channels is a pretty slow process.

    no FALD in gaming mode, still looks great, but fald should push it even further.

    not a 120hz panel

    Final Thoughts....
    As long as this TV holds up over time TCL has made a big fan out of me. The closest TV to this one is probably a Vizio P which is almost twice the price and not even clearly better, you're probably looking to spend well over a grand to find something that can noticeably beat it. If they continue the P series next year with this same value as this one I hope to buy a 65" inch and stick this one in the bedroom and maybe even buy their 50" for another room.

    Arrived damaged, asking for an exchange, because I think I'll be happy with this TV once/if I get a good one. Not sure what caused it, but my TV looks like it has some kind of burned in lines on the right side that somewhat resembles a typical wifi signal icon, but turned sideways, with 2 real brown marks, that look exactly like a heat source would have been held to it, but I guess it's just a rough transit or something/many things laid more heavily on that side.

    I don't appear to have much backlight bleed, if any. 4K youtube videos look incredible even @ 1080p
