Value Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't had this TV for a month yet, but so far am impressed by the value it represents. The picture looks good to me and I've liked the Roku operating system for years. I purchased this as a bedroom TV and found it defaults to the "bright" picture setting. For my use I found it was more pleasant and plenty bright enough on the "dark" setting. If it lasts a reasonable amount of time it will deserve the 5 star rating.

Reasonably happy for the $'s spent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the TV about 6 weeks. Initially, I had difficulty correctly connecting it to my Sony media/amp system through ARC. This was most likely a user issue, but lack of clear instruction didn't help. I have also been underwhelmed by picture quality for SOME movies and programs. I am not sure whether this is a problem with the TV or the broadcast or a combination of the 2 which is what I mostly suspect. The brightness and contrast adjustments--and I did use the controls the TV had--were not flexible enough to allow me to fine tune the picture to compensate. I have also begun to have problems with failure of the ARC system to feed sound to my amplifier and speaker. The fix is to start up the cable box (yes, I still have cable) where sound is correctly fed through the system and then switch to an online (Netflix, Prime, etc) source. My son looked the system up online after I purchased it and pointed out reliability issues. I hope this is a preview of bad things to come. It is a step up from the 10 year old Sony TV (non-4K) that died on me. I am not unhappy but not overwhelmingly pleased either.

No Complaints, Easy to Set Up.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are a few reasons I decided on this TV. For the $250 (on sale) it's very nice to be able to watch 4K movies. I think it's supposed to upgrade 1080p and regular DVDs too. I didn't see any TVs smaller than 43" that even do 4K. Even though it's 43", it is very light so you can move it around. Just be careful not to press on the screen edges. The picture looks excellent to me. It's very easy to get it looking right and peoples skin tones look pretty natural. As far as sound, I use a separate system most of the time, so I really don't care that much. It seems OK, but the way TVs are made now they don't have enough room inside for really good speakers anyway. The Pioneer 43" 4k has better sound, maybe that is part of the reason it's heavier. I didn't even know Pioneer made TVs now. I saw the screen and it looked good. I wanted a lighter TV. The TCL weighs like 5 or 6 lbs. less than the Pioneer. From what I know TCL has a good reputation for quality and lasting a while. I believe if the TV I bought lasts a long time I'll be more than happy with it. So far, the Normal picture mode looks best to me with the dynamic contrast on low. It seems like it looks better with the backlight at least on 90 and the brightness almost half. I like to stop adding to the regular brightness setting just before the blacks on the screen start getting grey. I put it on the warm setting with the tint just barely on the red side. I like the gamma setting higher up because the colors look deeper. I don't change it. I think the higher gamma settings are for a darker room, but I don't care, LOL!! But hey, whatever works for you go for it! Your tastes may be totally different than mine.
