Awesome TV for a great price. I did a lot of research for a 43” TV for a bedroom, and I kept coming back to this one (I really wanted the thinner, quantum dot M series but Vizio stopped making it in the 43” size). All the reviews rated TCL higher than Vizio, but after reading about possible security flaws in TCL TV’s that allow for them to be hacked, I stopped looking. The picture quality on this is awesome. The HDMI 2.1 and Dolby Vision, and factory calibration sold me. This TV is 1/3 of the cost of my 2012 Panasonic ST50 plasma, which was top rated at the time, and has a better picture in dark scenes with the factory calibration compared to my Geek Squad calibrated Panasonic. It’s honesty a bit too large for the bedroom, a 32” would have been perfect but I’m very happy with the purchase.

Great picture quality, easy set up, super easy integration with your IPhone, you just set up the wifi network and start enjoying everything you see on your phone screen on the tv screen, apps work flawlessly, youtube, netflix. Incredible value for the price, for $270 you can’t go wrong with this 43” monitor. Only little flaw is the low sound level, not loud enough but that is expected from every tv anyway, not too slim either but again, you can’t beat the deal.

A nice tv for a bedroom or small room. Picture is clear and crisp.

I wish there was an option for a half star rating because I would definitely rate this TV as a 3.5. The biggest negative is the picture quality when watching content via YouTubeTV (my primary use). The picture quality is just okay and I've tried about 15 different settings to try and improve the picture. No matter what I do the picture remains average. I have noticed it looks a lot better at night when the room is dark, and it also seems to handle bright scenes much better than scenes with average natural light. Out of curiosity, I found some 4K content on YouTube and the picture looked great. Very, very good so I'm suspicious the issue is with how the TV is handling upscaling with the built-in apps. I have also have an XBox set up to this TV and those games look good as well - no complaints. All of the other features are positive - SmartCast is significantly faster and more responsive than the older version, Airplay and Google Assistant work well although it took awhile to get that one working, and there is plenty of HDMI connections to choose from. This TV was purchased as a secondary television to be used in my office. For those needs, it fits the bill. However, if you are looking at this TV as your main television and you plan to watch a lot of standard HD content, I would consider other alternatives. I have two Samsungs (Series 6 and Series 7) and both of them have a MUCH BETTER picture quality when viewing non-4K content.

It’s a smaller screen than I wanted but that’s my fault. I like it. For an inexpensive flat screen it sounds good, picture quality is good. Takes a few seconds to boot up when turning it on, but that’s to be expected with an inexpensive until. Very happy with this as it replaced a Samsung that was starting show its age With a weird refreshing rate flicker that wold happen about 3 times a day.
