Open-Box Issues
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this open-box TV and have yet been able to use it. When I first set it up, it auto-logged me into someone else's Amazon account. I was not able to remove that user without ding a factory reset. This fixed the auto-Amazon login problem, however it did not allow me to do a set-up once the factory re-set was complete. My only options at this point are to "unmount" the wall mounted TV and lug it into Best Buy, or call it a $200 loss. I'm leaning toward writing it off as it appears Best Buy is not willing to stand by their Open-Box TV's unless the customer does all of the work

No sound!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Customer Dissatisfaction/Horrible Customer Service
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy has the worst customer service. Zero help and you can’t even talk to someone at a store on the phone. I was on the phone for 1hr 45 min, talked to 9 agents and got no answers. Everyone sounds like there in a different country and can’t barely understand them, most don’t know what they are doing, they just keep repeating their self’s like they are reading from a script. Best Buy lost a customer today, never supporting Best Buy again. Strictly for how I was treated and the customer service I received. Canceled my membership and hope I don’t get any more emails from them.

Good While It Lasted
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to love this television but it had lines and a half black screen writhing 45 days. It was a Christmas gift for my significant other. This did not do over well as it was already wall mounted and was an extremely inconvenience. I will Not purchase TCL again.

Where is my TV?
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordered this TV almost an entire month ago.

It won't power up.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It will not power up, so I can't review it. I didn't try to use it until past the return window. That's on me. Now I have a TV that costs less than a repair would cost. I learned my lesson. I will not buy reconditioned products in the future.

Tv is slow
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tv is very slow. Navigating the menus takes forever, whenever I turn the tv on it says network connection lost. When I check network settings, it says I’m connected. So why is connection lost? Would not recommend. If you need a cheap tv in a pinch, fine, but you get what you pay for.

The sound hasn't worked properly since the first month. Purchased Geek Squad Protectio but the refuse to help because it's under TCL Warranty.
