Is this TV good for gaming?

It handles casual console play, but the 60 Hz refresh rate and lack of variable refresh rate make it a weak pick for fast competitive games.

Does it need a soundbar?

The built-in speakers are thin on bass. A soundbar over HDMI or optical gives a clear upgrade for movies.

How many devices can I plug in?

Four HDMI ports plus USB, Ethernet and optical audio cover a console, streaming box, soundbar and antenna at once.

Is Google Assistant built in?

Yes. Google Assistant works through the remote and voice control, and the TV also works with Alexa and Siri.

Will it fit my wall mount?

It is 48.5 inches wide and weighs 51 lb. Check your mount's VESA pattern and weight rating before hanging it.

Does it support HDR on Netflix and Disney+?

Yes, it supports HDR and the major streaming apps are built in, so HDR titles play without an extra device.

Our take on the TCL NXTVISION QLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV 55-inch

The TCL NXTVISION is a 55-inch QLED 4K Google TV with a 60 Hz panel, four HDMI ports and hands-free Google Assistant plus Alexa and Siri support. Its QLED layer and anti-glare coating give it wider color and better handling of bright rooms than the budget LED sets it competes with, though it sits below mini-LED models on contrast. It suits living rooms and family streaming, not serious gaming. Owners of TCL's Google TVs generally like the picture for the money but report slow menus and uneven backlighting on dark scenes.
