The full-array backlighting is surprisingly good, despite there being no local dimming to help bring out the blacks. One of my favorite TCL features is the button on the back of the TV that will cause said remote to start beeping so you can locate it. Even better, should you so thoroughly misplace the wee beastie that you can’t hear it beep (or its battery is dead), you can use the Roku app (there are versions for Android and iOS) to control the TV from your smartphone or tablet.Īll the usual streaming services are present and accounted for on TCL’s Roku TVs. It also sports a headphone jack and mic for voice navigation. The Roku TV’s remote is very much like Roku’s own-simple and easy to use. I also loved the way the remote just paired up without a lot of fuss or bother. There are a couple of buttons that are different, but as buyers are likely to be Roku newbies, or ditch the standalone box for the in-set service, it’s a trivial concern-especially as there’s headphone output and voice nav. It’s small, simple, and just enough different from the Roku to make you pause.
A USB 3.0 port lets you load media from a thumb drive.Īnyone familiar with Roku’s streaming boxes and sticks will find TCL’s P-series remote to be quite similar. Besides HDMI ARC, you can also output audio via RCA or optical S/PDIF. There is, however, no component video input. There’s also RCA analog audio as well as composite video in. One HDMI supports ARC (audio return channel) for driving a sound bar or the like, which you’ll probably want-the 50UP130’s sound is average at best. All four ports are 60Hz HDMI 2.0 and support HDCP 2.2 copy protection required to play commercial 2160p content. When TCL first showed me the P-series TVs, I figured that because of the price, HDMI would be a mixed bag. There are four 60Hz HDMI 2.0 ports with HDCP 2.2 support for copy-protected 4K UHD content (one HDMI port supports ARC). Side view showing the TCL P-series Roku TV’s ports.
