You get what you pay for
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from old Sharp Roku Best Buy tv. It is on okay tv with a couple of things that bothered me. I do regret buying it. I was considering an exchange when I read how short Best Buy's return window is. I'll have to take that into consideration should I decide to make such a purchase again. The color is bad. I tried tweaking things myself then looked to some online guides it still looks washed out. Could just be my tv. I used Chromecast with the previous tv as well so i was familiar with the UI. It is extremely laggy. I have to push buttons repeatedly and/or just wait for it to let me select what I want. If it happened occasionally, okay, but it's almost every time I choose to watch something which makes it irritating.

Save time for SW updates.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Learning curve was a little steep, and I am an Engineer. I set this up while my wife was out, and with all of the updates required I was glad I did. The Resolution increase was a big jarring from our 15 year old TV. We really like it.

Get something else.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased Apr 23, 2022. Today 7/11/22 it turns on to permanent black screen. I have tried all the fixes from the TCL website. But at any rate its pretty bad that the TV has failed this soon. I had a cheapy RCA that lasted for 7 years +. There is other TV's in this range, I recommend trying a different brand.

Slow
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, the TV display is great. The hardware is the issue. I got this cause I liked using my Chromecast and since I need a TV figured this would just stream line the process. Nope, spend most of the time waiting for the TV to catch up to my button inputs. Then will sometimes just kick me out of a menu or ask to log back in. In the end I have gone back to using my external Chromecast (bypassing any "smart" functionality of this TV). At least I'm happy with the picture and sounds.

Constantly restarts on its own
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the tv and it worked great for about a year. Now the tv constantly kicks me out of apps, restarts on its own or just freezes and i have to unplug it from the wall to restart it. This happens every coup.e minutes from opening an app up to getting an hour of viewing. I have uninstalled all the apps, cleared the cache, power cycled it , updated the software, and did a factory reset and still have the same issues.

TCL is garbage
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV did not last even close to 2 years. Display has completely died. Will never buy another TCL again. Absolute trash. I tried to give them a shot. Never again. I have and had multiple Samsung TVs over the years that have not only lasted 5 years or better with me with zero issues, they've been passed on to adult children and still going strong 8 years and better.
