Is the TCL Q Class worth it over the 4-Series?

Yes if you want QLED color and local dimming. The 4-Series is cheaper but lacks quantum dots and full-array dimming, so contrast and color are weaker.

Does it support 120Hz gaming?

No. The panel is 60Hz, so it caps at 60fps. It is fine for casual console play but not for high-frame-rate gaming.

The TV, a stand, a remote and power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.

Does it work with Alexa and Siri?

It supports Google Assistant natively and works with Alexa and Siri through compatible devices and the Google TV platform.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Three HDMI ports, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for streaming and accessories.

Is 50 inches big enough for a living room?

It suits bedrooms and small living rooms with seating about 6 to 8 feet away. Larger rooms will want a bigger screen.

Our take on the TCL Q Class 4K UHD HDR QLED Smart TV with Google TV 50-inch

The TCL Q Class is a 50-inch 4K QLED smart TV running Google TV. Quantum-dot QLED gives it wider color and higher brightness than the entry-level 4-Series, and it adds full-array local dimming for deeper blacks. Three HDMI ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and HDR support cover consoles, streaming and soundbars, and it works with Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri. It suits buyers who want a bright, colorful mid-range set for a bedroom or small living room without stepping up to mini-LED.
