I have the 55" TCL and it's great! Reminds me of the early Vizio days where they had to be priced closer to production cost in order to compete with bigger players. My one con is that the HDR doesn't seem perfect. The blacks don't seem "true black" and based on the comparison lower on the page I wonder if this is because it's not "Dolby Vision HDR"

I have the 43" TCL 4k. I highly recommend turning off HDR when using it as a monitor. Up close it kinda creates this ghosting effect where black text on a gray background will get this light halo kind of thing, ugh, it looked horrible. once you turn it off it is much nicer to look at.
Interesting that you mentioned HDR because I had assumed it wasn't a feature (seems like most TVs that have it mention it in the title). Is it now a standard feature for HD TV?

(I haven't bought a TV since...ever, no that I think about it)
