This TV is absolutely amazing! I didn’t expect it responding so fast but it actually did! The color, the sound, all very good! I will definitely buy this brand again when I change to a bigger TV.

Purchased this 43" TCL FireTV to put in a space that I could not use a bigger size. This is my fifth TCL TV I have bought. I think there performance to price ratio is hard to beat. I have never had any issues with them. The FireTV software is not bad. It can be a little sluggish sometimes but not enough to be bothersome. I am happy with the picture. I like to watch the HDR videos on YouTube to see how good the picture is. Overall I am happy with the TV so far.

Terrible QC

So short and sweet review here, TCL did not check these in QC very well…. I drove all the way out to Best Buy from rural area, bought this TV for my aunt. Got back, no operating system installed…
Box says to call TCL, not return to store. I call TCL… this is “not covered by warranty”…. Maybe that was the representative not understanding the issue but sounds like bogus that they want me to wait 10-14 days for a representative and might still have to pay…
drove all the way back, returned it.
Tested another one in store to see before driving all the way back.. no operating system installed…. boots straight to boot loader again.
Customer service reps were initially thinking I must’ve caused it because they’ve never seen this happen before… neither have I… they must’ve been from the same batch and nobody bothered to install the FireTV OS once the second one was defective.
Sales rep said it’s a holiday model like the special 6 series Samsung models that are dirt cheap and only available Black Friday thru Christmas and recommended either getting a standard non-holiday TVL or a different TV.
Exchanged for a cheap Insignia instead.

Unfortunately the TV arrived with a big smudge and a barcode sticker stuck directly on the screen. I'm not sure who would want to attempt to peel a stubborn sticker off their brand new TV? Returned

I like it with it’s UHD and for having fire tv , it’s just the navigating through the menu is not intuitive and the remote control is clunky in operating it sometimes have a delayed response . But it’s got great picture and if you pair a good sound bar with it great to watching Live sports on it.

Bought this tv for my office/spare bedroom. 43 inch is the perfect size. It has a great picture and sound. Seems to have all the bells and whistles too. Caught it on price for $150, so couldn't be beat. Last tv I had for this space was a Vizio and it lasted over 10 years. In fact it is still working but isn't a 4k tv and a bit outdated. This new TCL is 4k and has Dolby and hdr10 and everything the bigger mor expensive tvs have. Very pleased with this tv. No problems so far.

Amazing Picture & Incredible Value for the Price!

Absolutely love this TV! The TCL 43” F35 Series delivers an impressive 4K picture with vibrant colors and detail, especially for the price ( I got a good deal in Black Friday). Setup was quick and easy and super user-friendly. I love having all my streaming apps in one place without needing any extra devices.
The HDR really enhances movies and shows, and the sound quality is better than expected for a TV this size (though a soundbar would make it even better). It’s the perfect size for a bedroom smaller living space. Overall, excellent value, modern features, and great performance. Highly recommend!

I now have 3 TCL tvs and you cannot beat them for the price. This one being a cheaper model is a little slower when accessing the menus but again for the price you wont find much better. Very good picture and easy to setup and use.

The TV's picture is beautifully clear, almost three-dimensional. We could not have asked for a better picture. The sound is good, no complaints, but it sounds a little better from behind the TV than from in front of it. We did not have to enter a Wi-Fi address or password, the TV picked it up automatically. The remote control works well, it's easy to see what the buttons control, and it's comfortable to hold. In summary, we highly recommend this TV.

I am very pleased with my TV. It has a great picture and was very easy to set up. The remote did not work when I unpacked it but called their 800 number and the problem was resolved quickly; they fedexed a new remote.
