2019 Father’s Day Gift Guide – Giveaway: TCL 6-Series 55″ LED 4K UHD TV with HDR Roku TV

TCL 6-Series 55″ LED 4K UHD TV WITH HDR ROKU TV

For me I’d love nothing more then a TV upgrade this year – with all the providers now pushing out 4k content, I think its finally the year to invest in a 4K TV. TCL’s 6-Series TVs combines superior 4K UHD picture quality with Dolby Vision, which delivers the ultimate HDR imaging experience. The popular Roku OS offers the most streaming content for countless entertainment options. For gamers, a responsive TV is just as important as one with a good picture. With 4K resolution, ultra-low lag-time, and Dolby Vision HDR, it offers both premium picture and responsive performance.
