Decent and Affordable TV

Overall, for an inexpensive TV, this is pretty good. Pros: - Cheap - Decent Picture Quality Cons*: - Colors are slightly inaccurate and dull - "Smooth motion" can't be disabled in certain picture modes (but it works decently well) - "Unfinished" look in back To be clear, I expected the cons for this being an inexpensive TV, but if I could fix anything "within reason" these features would be it.

Overall a pretty decent tv. Mostly bought it for my sons' bedroom to play ps4 on. On day one I did run into the issue with color lines covering the right side of the tv. I thought it was broken, but problem is whenever the tv boots up in quick start mode (which is enabled by default) the tv will do that. Once I went into the settings and disabled quick start, the tv hasnt had that problem since and I've had it now for a little over a month

I bought this as an extra/ 2-TV Combo persay for my finished basement, I already have another TCL 43" and I wanted to really utilize my skills with technology and put them together in the corner like I did with my 2 Curved 34" LG Native 2K gaming monitors for my 2 desktops and Laptop but this TCL 4K UHD HDR10 Android Smart TV is definitely a GREAT BUY and also is a great price for what you get, the picture is very clear and accurate and the sound is perfect especially if you have a sound system to hook to the TV, no complaints from me and it looks great in any room!

To be a budget television, to me it is the best TV you can get at this low cost. It has everything you expect on this type of television. It does not have the latest tech built on it and CPU is kind of slow speed, but it has 4K, great color depth and Android TV. So again, for the price it is a great value Television.

One Annoying Flaw

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The vertical lines that appear when it wakes from sleep which sometimes forces me to turn off the TV completely and turn it on again are kind of annoying. This started literally after only a few days of use. I'm using this as both a smart TV for streaming and a third PC monitor. It does well at both. I don't really game on it cause it's only 60hz. However, for that one issue, I'm taking off 2 stars.

The TV has an issue when you turn it on lines appear on the screen as if it's broken then after powering it on and off a few times the screen goes back to normal. The picture is from only 2 days of having it. There is and was no damage to it. I will be returning it for a different brand.

So disappointed in TCL

When new, this TV was pretty good for the price, however after 15 months, the backlight died and the TV is essentially useless. Using a high-powered flashlight, I tried multiple fixes (hard reset, factory reset, leave unplugged for a while) but none worked. This seems like a common issue that is fixed with some of the previously mentioned fixes, but I had no luck. The TV also had intermittent issues presenting movement fluidly after 12 months.

Looks great when it works. I literally used this TV twice and after a few weeks of non-use I turned it on and the screen was heavily distorted. I have to unplug it and reset it every time I wanted to watch it.
