Roku TVs have never delivered great picture quality but the TCL P series breaks the mold it performs like a champ with deep black levels and excellent contrast and reproduces 4k and high dynamic range TV shows and movies as well as more expensive competitors although its picture is excellent its external design is relatively ho-hum curved silver legs give it some Flair but the rest is standard glossy black plastic it's not an ugly TV but it won't blow anybody away with dashing good looks the simplified remote will be familiar to anyone who's used to Roku before and include some signature extras you can plug in headphones to listen without disturbing anyone speaking of the clicker to perform voice searches the force awakens and even use the remote finder to locate it if it gets lost among the couch cushions and Roku dominates the menus - with its trademark customizable design that places streaming options on the same page as connected devices of course you get thousands of apps including more 4k and HDR apps than any smart TV platform and since the p-series supports both dolby vision and HDR 10 formats you can access the widest variety of high dynamic range streams from sources like Netflix Amazon and Vudu in our side-by-side comparisons the p-series picture quality equaled and in some ways surpassed many of the LCD TVs we tested the secret is its full array local dimming which adds contrast and punch to every scene and allows the TV to achieve deep blacks that make home theater images shine it wasn't as bright as some high-end sets we've tested but should be fine for just about any room and its HDR and Dolby vision picture we're great with its low price excellent picture quality and superb Roku Smart TV system the TCL P series is one of the best TVs we tested this year
