Trash. Trash. Half the screen works after 2 days use.

It works good most days but other times it struggles to connect to the Internet.

When the TV in the guest bedroom went on the fritz, I figured it was time for another. I have a TCL 4K 65" in the living room and a TCL 4K 55" in the man-cave plus a TCL 1080p 23" as my wife's computer monitor so it seemed a natural to go grab another TCL. BB had a 43" 4K in stock for a decent price so I grabbed it without thinking. I kind of wish I had thought first though as it turns out that this one has an Android interface where the other 3 sets I have are all Roku-based. Out of pure familiarity and nothing else, I wish I'd gotten the similar model with the Roku interface. I would have taken it back for an exchange but they didn't have a Roku-based one in stock locally and I was too lazy and impatient to wait for one to be ordered. Still, the TV is sharp, has good color, sounds OK and is easy to use.

The TV was more than adequate for our needs. Cost effective. One problem Do not use the default setting for quick turn on. There is a bug in the startup program. Solution. Simply set off/on to normal. Sure it is longer since it has togo thru Andoid boot but at least it is clean start.

I really enjoy the android tv as it is as big as I wanted and loud, easy to set up, and an overall beauty, and it got delivered quick and securely.

I bought this for my bedroom . It’s a nice size with a great picture . The price was good & I enjoy watching it .

Nice TV for home office space! It gets the job done with a nice picture and audio for when a media room setup is not your goal. Good purchase!

I bought this item, a year ago, it died two months later. Best Buy did however, replace the item, since it wasn't that long. So, I appreciate them for that. The TV itself has a beautiful picture, very nice, but it lacks a reset button in the back in case something goes wrong.

Love this TV, great price and perfect size. Very clear and bright

It has a nice picture quality. The sound is not bad and its easy to set up. The price for it was not bad either. I recommend it for its price and picture Quality.

A great tv. Picture quality is awesome and this tv had a really great price point.

Good tv for gaming! Xbox series x. Great picture and sound. Good vaule!

Picture quality quite good... Google software can be spotty performance, with a roku stick it performs flawlessly

Excellent TV. I purchased it for one of my sons while he had COVID so he could watch shows during isolation. I personally think AndroidTV (And Google TV) are far superior than Roku/Amazon platform TV's. They're easy to navigate, you can install any app from android store, native support for casting, etc. Also very clean UI. For the price, the UI is surprisingly snappy. Not as fast as something like a Shield, but very good. I played around with video settings and found the Smart HDR picture setting to be the best and most color accurate. Also, using "Live" for sound profile along with equalizer option enabled makes dialogue crystal clear and easy to listen to at night with volume low. Only knocked off one start because I don't believe there is any sort of native upscaling. Playing 1080p content on a 4K TV doesn't automatically make it a true upscaler. I have an LG 75" TV in living room from 2017 that has upscaling and 1080p content on it looks better than on this 43" TCL. It doesn't look horrible, but I can tell the image is a little stretched/pixelated in some instances. However, videos in native 4K look wonderful. Also, 60Hz limit isn't bad at all at this price but it would have been nice to see some kind of 120Hz emulation like LG has (TruMotion). For less than $300 it's a great deal. However, if you're really picky I would opt for a 5 series from TCL instead which has 240Hz emulation, Doly Vision and an assortment of other upgrades.

Cheap and Best!! I bought it and couldn't fit it in my room and had to return :(

Great picture and value, for sure! My only issue: the remote is Bluetooth only, so my Apple TV can’t control it in any way. Sure it’s got Android TV built in, which is cool and makes sense, but in the off chance I’d want to use a different device, there’s very little support. Also, wish me luck if I ever lose my remote xD

Generally just sluggish. Takes a while for apps to load, turn on, change apps, etc. It's a nice picture and generally cheaper than the competition but you get what you pay for.

Due to my last couple of experiences in this store . I will fill out reviews , even if all I buy is a water. TV had to be sent in t 2b checked out. Pictures werent good enough to make the call . On the positive side . I wasn’t accused of switching TVs this time. So far this TV is ok. Unlike my last 2 TVs from U. Overall quality had nose dived from my last Vizio . I msy havr to start checkin out Valden Verld.

The TCL TV works fine for some gamming, PS4-Pro NFS etc. It seems to be slow and I don't like the features and how to organize the APPs I want, for watching TV it's fine, however, it's really the service I received. I was looking for a Samsung series (7) 43" TV, I checked the Best Buy APP for the nearest Best Buy and found a Samsung on sale exactly like I wanted, when I arrived at the store I showed the salesman the APP and it showed on in stock and ready to pick up that day, the salesman stated they didn't have one in stock, but he could show me some comparable units, at least as he stated, we meander around the TV section, this guy was showing me TV after TV, I should have just left, he stated the TCL was comparable, just as good for an all around TV for light gamming and viewing online APPs such as YouTube etc. He didn't really seem interested in helping me with what I was looking for and just started point out TV's as if they're all the same. I've always had quality service and have purchased many items at great cost, such as Samsung TV's and gamming equipment. This guy shoed me every brand and stated, this is a good TV, this is a good TV, this is a good TV, I allowed myself to trust him, I've never had any complaints in the past. Now, to the TV, I don't do any Google or android casting, I'm a Samsung fan, of course I was told that all TV's in this day in age are comparable not so. Every time the power goes out or there is an internet service interruption the TV will not automatedly connect to the internet, I've saved the password and set it up to reconnect, I always have to reconnect manually, the picture is clear and the sound is adequate, the salesman also sold me an LG sound bar and the TV speakers actually sound better. I asked the salesman what he would use for gamming and he stated, "A Monitor", I don't want a 43" monitor. The quality seems fairly standard, mostly plastic, you have to hold the remote up and in front of the TV to change channels, because of the trust and the service I allowed to talk my way into a cheaper unit, not lower price, but cheap, that's one reason the price was lower than others. I'm brand loyal and I now have something I don't really care for, sometimes it's slow, I have goo Mbps, that's never been a problem and the living room TV never has an issue when streaming, if you want a TV. I'm not impressed with the APS;s popping up for TV programs, I don't like being market to after I make a purchase. The price was very close to the TV I wanted, the Best Buy APP was incorrect and the situation shifted into just making a sale. I will add, I travel to Houston one per week, from a small town 1.5 hours away, I take my mother to MD Anderson and I have little opportunity/time to find and view such products, especially when I made a special trip to that store for the TV I wanted and I'm not impressed with my product. I had the power go out for several hours during a thunder storm, when the power returned I had to reconfigure the TV as I had just purchased it, and yes, it is on a power surge unit and I've never experienced any TV just revert to it's original settings. I wouldn't purchase that TV again and next time a salesman just starts walking around without the ability to really explain the differences and adequacy of the TV as an all around light gamming via game console and watching TV. Do your own research, find what you really want, be leery of their APP on stock, I drove for 25 minutes thinking I found a unit suitable and the unit isn't really that great compared to the brand I like. Partially my fault for allowing the salesman to sell me something substandard in the same price range while explain it's as good and the price point is good. Overall, I'm just not happy with my purchase, I acquired the unit and I've made it work for me, sometimes with the hassle of reconnecting the internet or just being generally slow when accessing APP's, etc. The TV I wanted was the Samsung as advertised, Class 7, 43" UHD, the TCL 43" just isn't the same. Experiences may vary of course, this is my experience only and if you do make a purchase for this brand I hope it works out for you. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Great TV for the money. Purchased for my mom to replace her old tv. Easy to use for her (she's 88). Smart features are great.
