    ABSOLUTE TRASH!!! Do not buy under any circumstances. It takes 4-5 times to start. When it does, the audio doesn’t work…restart to obtain audio. On the other hand, twice the TV has turned on in the middle is the night (2:00 and 3:30 AM). Picture quality is so-so. The worst TV I have purchased in 50 years.

    It doesn't matter how good the picture quality is if it sounds like the audio is coming through a tin can on a line of string. This is the worst sounding TV I've ever encountered. Will be returning it in the morning.

    DO NOT BUY! TV takes forever to turn on, contacted support and they had me do a power drain which means unplugging and pressing and holding a button and then restarting the TV. This works but have to do every week or 2. Contacted support again and their only suggestion is to unplug the TV when not watching it!

    For the first weeks, the TCL - 40" Class S3 S-Class 1080p FHD HDR LED Smart TV with Google TV was wonderful. After that, all my streaming services wont load. the settings show that I have internet and the signal is EXCELLENT! Of course it started after I could return. It is now pretty much not useful.
