Amazing 32" TV at this price
In doing my research for a 32" TV for my bedroom, the TCL Q3K provided more at the low price point. I was not disappointed when I started using the actual product. -1080p QLED while most other's had only 720p -Beautiful picture quality with many adjustments -Bezel-less design which is difficult to find at this price point -Ability to use Google Home to set-up Google TV alleviating the need to input all those id's and passwords -Ability to turn off the clear plastic TCL light on the bottom of the screen to prevent a light from shining in the bedroom Room for improvement: -the way the TV is designed, the legs are too far apart and cannot be used to place it where I wanted (solution was to purchase a monitor/TV stand with VESA mount that supports the TV from the center -illuminated remote control (although this may be a big ask as even my top of the line LG doesn't offer that feature) Since this is a Google TV, the screen in the picture looks different since I have downloaded a different launcher from the Play Store.

Great Little Bedroom TV!
We got this 32" TCL QLED TV from Best Buy a few weeks ago for our bedroom, replacing an ancient CRT TV. 1080P resolution on a small screen like this is ultra clear! The picture is amazing, the colors are great, and the sound is "OK" (what you'd expect from a small screen TV.) Yes, it's best to watch with a direct view -- off angle the picture quality does suffer as it does with most LED TVs. Since we watch in bed with the TV angled directly at us, that is not a problem. And it's plenty bright in our dark bedroom at night. I bought a Universal Table-Top TV Stand for $25 on Amazon to replace the cheap plastic legs the TV comes with so it is more stable and fits better on our small TV table. Several other reviewers complained about the overly bright LED at the bottom of the TV. I discovered that it is easy to turn it off. Just go to Settings / System / Advanced Settings / Standby LED. From there you can simply turn it off! It will still blink briefly whenever you push any button on the remote but will otherwise stay off. Problem solved! And finally, I'm a big fan of the Google TV OS. My son has an LG TV, and I absolutely hate the WebOS on that brand. Google TV is much more user friendly -- especially when you want to play around with the settings. Yes, the home screen has too many ads that clutter things up. There is an "Apps Only" mode that gets rid of some of the clutter. However, a better solution is an app I downloaded called "FLauncher" (see photo) which gives me a clean totally ad-free home screen showing nothing but my apps. Overall, this TCL 32" TV is a great value! Highly recommend.

good for the intended usage
i got this to put in my kitchen so that i could have it on when i’m cooking & check my google doorbell from further away. the OS works pretty well (much better than my previous fire tvs have), though i have issues getting the apple tv app to autoplay the next episode. the audio on this tv is also pretty subpar, i recommend getting external speakers (i just got a tiny insignia sound bar, they’re usually pretty cheap) since those help tremendously outside of that, not a whole lot to complain about. it does exactly what i intended it to
