TCL tv
Awesome tv. Comes preloaded with all my favorite apps. Easy set up. Picture HD quality. Sound can be improved easily with sound bar. Really can’t say enough good things about our new TCL tv. We have always purchased Samsung before, however now after trying TCL ROKU tv I don’t think we will purchase Samsung again. The prices for TCL TVs are low compare to their value.

best ever price 110$ can u belive?
I bought this TV a while ago, and I still can’t believe how affordable it was! I searched everywhere before buying, and honestly, I couldn’t find anything close to this price with the same features and quality. The picture is super clear, the sound is great, and setup was really easy. Even though it was cheap, it doesn’t feel cheap at all — it looks sleek and works perfectly. I’ve been using it regularly, and it still runs just like new. Definitely one of the best deals I’ve ever found at Best Buy. Highly recommend it to anyone on a budget!

Great affordable tv
Great picture & sound quality for the price. Easy to set up! Loved that it is compatible with my Google phone so my pictures played as the screensaver while the TV was paused- such a fun feature!
