An economical television. Nothing more, nothing less.

It takes a long time to turn on and respond to remote control commands, and the menu is painfully slow. However, for its price, you can't expect a 55-inch screen, maybe a 32-inch from bigger brands. I bought it as a second option and as an economical solution. I don't know if I would buy it again, probably not. It is excessively slow

For gaming, the television is quite good with nice colors and I think it perfectly covers the needs of an average gamer. It does lag on channels, while it only has Netflix and YouTube as smart apps. For example, those who have Nova don't have the EON application. In movies that I played, it covers the needs of the average movie lover. Theoretically, I would prefer the next model from this series, which has Android, to have some extra apps, even though with an HDMI to Type-C cable, you can connect your mobile and bypass this issue. In any case, for this price range, it is the only option for these inches. Finally, as for the construction, it seems quite high-quality, from the television itself to the remote control. I would highly recommend it for someone who wants a 55-inch smart TV with a limited budget. To get something that will truly make a big difference, you need to spend at least 200-300€.

55 on Black Friday is perfect for the money!
The sound is not that great, but it's okay!
The picture is awesome!
On the downside, it's not an Android TV!

The fact that after 1 1/2 years, the damage was not covered by the warranty does not make them particularly reliable! Suddenly, it gave me a black screen, we sent it at the end of June, and they tell us that it is not covered by the warranty because it is an old model!!!! I will be watching TCL and running away!

I bought the 55-inch TCL P610 mostly for terrestrial and satellite TV viewing (and maybe some movie watching), replacing a 15-year-old (but very expensive!) 47-inch Toshiba.

First impressions: It is quite thin, lightweight, and more energy-efficient compared to older TVs.

The receiver is slow. Channel switching is frustratingly slow, which surprises me. I don't know if it's a software or processor speed issue, but with this TV, zapping is a real pain!

Surprisingly, the terrestrial HD channels from Digea appear slightly clearer than several foreign satellite HD channels! However, in the few free-to-air UHD satellite channels (NASA TV, QVC, Hotbird 4K1), the quality is outstanding, so there's no comparison there. In SD channels, despite the ambitious upscaling efforts, the quality remains mediocre.

With the factory settings untouched, the colors are poor and lifeless. The brightness is average. The black and white contrast is decent. The motion is blurry even in HD resolution: In sports matches, for example, when players move quickly, you can't even recognize the jersey number!

Therefore, it requires a lot of searching and experimenting with the picture settings to achieve the desired and "ideal" result according to each person's criteria. But even then, because each channel broadcasts with its own specific parameters, there is a continuous fluctuation in quality, not only from channel to channel but sometimes even within the same program! In the end, I have the impression that all these modern, heavily advertised (HDR, HLG, microdiming) image enhancement systems with exotic algorithms cause an unstable, inconsistent, and annoying brightness fluctuation, a blurry unnatural visual experience that alienates us, the older generation who grew up with the stable, vibrant colors of cinema projections and analog TV.

The sound is satisfactory for this category. Of course, for music lovers, an external soundbar is absolutely necessary.

The connectivity (wifi, HDMI, USB) is good, and other devices are recognized instantly. The remote control is narrow, which makes it problematic to use in the dark (until you get used to it). Especially browsing the internet with the installed browser (which sometimes freezes) is very difficult. Fortunately, the control can be done much more comfortably from the mobile screen after installing the relevant application.

I have no experience with video games, but judging from the screen performance in graphics, I assume it performs quite well. Now, one of the most serious drawbacks in my opinion in using this TV is the lack of the ability to create different favorite channel lists (e.g., "sports," "cinema," "news," "English-speaking," "German-speaking," "French-speaking," etc.) like in other TVs or receivers. Not even the creation of at least one mixed list (terrestrial-satellite-cable) of channels. There is no flexibility in sorting and organizing the channels.

Conclusion: If we overlook the slow channel switching and the absence of favorite lists, this TV, for its price (400€), is a good solution for simple conventional TV viewing. For the most demanding users who use a television as a "multitool" or intend to simulate a cinematic visual experience, I would recommend something more expensive and reliable.
