    You guys are trash . I bought 2 TV's online and after I mounted one of the TV to the wall and it wasn't working, the screen had some line in it . I returned the TV to the Best Buy in Attleboro Massachusetts and they didn't wanna take it back while I paid for insurance on it and the TV didn't have any physical damage... it's better for yall to take people money but when the customer encounter certain issues they can't get help for the service they paid for ... it's a shame really

    The television doesn't work without Amazon Prime. I do not have, nor am I planning on getting Amazon prime. I have tried hooking up a Roku, in an effort to watch Spectrum and that is also unsuccessful. Looks good sitting in the spare bedroom. I can dust the tv easily.

    The sound works about 1/4 of the time. Have to unplug tv and plug back in after 5 minutes or so and then sound works again till it doesn’t. This started happening less than a month after we hooked it. Very frustrating and irritating.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience. Our TVs are compatible with most Universal and cable remotes. Many Universal and cable box remotes can be programmed to control select functions on the TV. You can visit https://support.tcl.com/us-remote-codes for more information. If you do not see your specific remote, you would need to contact the remote's manufacturer to obtain the remote code from them. Hope this helps!
