    So many things about this TV have been a big hassle, set up has been ridiculously counter-intuitive. It drops Wi-Fi so often which I've never had a problem in my home. Unfortunately, I came on the Best Buy website one day too late, after the return cut off, to begin the return process. So I'm stuck with this.

    Disappointed

    I have to say, my experience with this TV has been disappointing. As someone who has enjoyed several TCL televisions over the years, I had high hopes for this QLED model. However, if you're tempted to buy it based solely on price, I'd strongly encourage you to invest a little extra in a 4K TV instead. While the colors are vibrant, the overall picture and sound quality leave much to be desired. I've also encountered significant video stuttering on YouTube and various apps when streaming in 1080p. Given that I own other TCL models that cost me less and perform far more smoothly, it's clear that this one doesn’t hold up to the brand’s usual standards. Save yourself the frustration and consider a better option!

    I wanted to like this TV, but when I turn it on it buffers for way too long for me and then when it finally quits buffering it goes to the last program I was watching a day ago at the spot I turned the TV off a day ago.

    Purchased this to replace a similar size 2016 TCL that served us well. The new one was also 40” - has a lot of fancy features, but only has 1 HDMI port. The 2016 version had more.

    This is the worst tv I’ve ever owned. It forces you to use Google play, which doesn’t recognize streaming services purchased from any other platform. It doesn’t have a microphone on the remote, despite that being referred to in description and “support center.” It’s been 4 months of pure frustration. Someone needs to give me a refund.

    Works okay, slow, no apple airplay. Sleep timer is buried in the menu, no quick buttons. No backlight on remote. There is a constant ringing from the tv while powered off. Not many options for a 40 inch tv. The pioneer one i got first had a bad screen while streaming. Aggravating.
