Customers are saying
Customers are positive about the picture quality, easy setup, price, Roku integration, and gaming experience of the 43" Class 5 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Roku TV. They appreciate the amazing picture quality, simple setup, affordability, convenience of Roku's built-in streaming platform, and its suitability for gaming. However, customers are negative about the remote control's cheap feel, concerns about durability, reports of screen issues and short lifespans, and the color quality.

Crashes and restarts daily
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only good thing I can say about this TV is that it fits perfectly in the weird square built-in entertainment center in my great room. I’ll never understand why these were popular in the early 1990s. Anyway, this TV has the smallest bevel surrounding the screen meaning I can fit the 43” instead of a 37”. Unfortunately the functionality of this tv is awful. The system crashes at least once per day. I’m not sure if it’s the ROKU that’s garbage, or the TCL equipment, but I used a Visio with a first gen Apple TV for 10 years and the TV never had to restart. This piece of junk has already restarted twice today and I’ve only had the tv on for 3 hours. I’ll never purchase another TCL or ROKU product again.
