Software update takes the TV offline for quite a while – due to a very slow internet connection (my connection had dropped from 250mb to about 1 that day due to a problem in the neighborhood) I had a very long wait after connecting before I could actually do anything. This is a series of minor issues I ran into. i didn’t have a wall mount although I’ve got one on order as I think it’d be cool. Physical Setup was a breeze as I just popped it out, screwed two feet into it, and plugged it in. It was more in danger of being blown over by the wind than it was of anything else. I got the thing out and in my car without much trouble. What a TCP 55UP120 might look like in the back of a Honda Element It will also fit in the back of your Honda Element without the need to do anything. Just beware the two plastic lines holding the box together. The thing comes in at 43.21 pounds in the package (32 out of the package.) If you’re wondering if you can lift it from it’s precariously stacked position at your local Sam’s or Costco, probably yes. It also has a USB port that supposedly can play media (including MKV format,) but I have not had a chance to test this yet. The 55UP120 has four HDMI ports, an RCA connector for your old WII, an ethernet and dual channel WiFi options for apps, a TV tuner/cable/antenna doohicky, an SPDIF optical out, headphone jacks, and RCA out. I swear this will be the last comparison to my old TV with 2002 tech in it. No issues with dark and light contrasts with the 55UP120. Watching Game of Thrones interior scenes was becoming a problem as well. If the person’s face was dirty or they didn’t have pasty white skin I lost them in the dark. One of the major problems I kept suffering with my old TV was during The Walking Dead.

My belief is a several thousand dollar curved Samsung UHD TV I saw at CES 2016 looks better, however for my purposes the TCL 55UP120 works perfectly.

Pocketables doesn’t generally cover TVs because, well, nobody’s ever shipped me a TV for free and I don’t have space to do reviews, however I picked up one of these at my local Costco as my 2002 backlit projection TV that weighs 110 pounds was getting a bit costly to operate ($30 every two months for a new crappy bulb).Īnyway, to preface the review I’m not going to be talking about color reproduction because I’m colorblind. I didn’t have any need for this, nor know about that until after I purchased this. Walmart's $30 Onn Android TV Box: Better Than Chromecast?Īs a note, if a stereo headphone jack on a remote control is what you’re wanting, this is not the version of the TV that has this.
