Customer Ratings & Reviews

Used online grid to find TV that included everything that we needed. It was not available at the closest Best Buy to us. So we drove the distance to the Best Buy that had it in stock. I asked the salesman the questions that we needed to ask. Last question was is there a better TV than this one. He showed us a TV that had everything the one we wanted had, but a way better picture - something I didn’t even know to ask about. Brought it home, super easy to set up, and enjoyed watching right away!

The picture quality on this TV is great. I am using it as a TV in the master bedroom and it works really well. Lightweight easy to mount on the wall with separately purchased bracket. Built in roku works great. Two minor complaints: -roku remote is cheaper ir version and the button clicks are loud. This can be fixed by using the roku remote app on your phone -usb power port has a 5 minute stay on timer after turning the TV off. I have a USB backlight kit on the TV and it won't turn off automatically until the power to the use times out after five minutes.

I took months of looking into 4K TVs and what I wanted out of mine. It’s so hard to choose especially on a budget. I was conflicted with so much choices and having to sacrifice on some features. Then my friend found me this TCL. Which I am thankful for his help. Because I had to make much less sacrifices in the features and specs of the TV. I actually got some more features that I wanted, that are normal more expensive. All in all the color, visuals, and sound are wonderful. It’s so convenient to own this TV. I can access many apps. I now have my one place to stream and game. My all in one device. So yes, if you’re on the fence and hesitant like I was with this TV or the brand TCL. I can 100% assure that this is for sure worth your money and time. No longer am I watching media or playing games. Because with this 4K TV, I’m now experiencing them.

I owed this about 2 months and I love it. It makes the HD colors pop. Very easy to use. If you use the Ethernet port the apps work great with no lag. Make sure if you are using the ARC feature and Home theater, turn on the ARC on the home theater to hear the TV. Direct sunlight will be seen on the TV. Sound is terrible you will need a system. However a good buy for the money

My previous 32 inch Panasonic CRT set, that I purchased from this same store 26 years ago, finally died on me. So after a bit of online research and measuring my openings for a replacement I headed back to Bestbuy. I had a couple sets I wanted to look at and measure to see if they would fit so I asked a salesperson about them and he showed them to me. He then said he had a recommendation for me and we moved to this 43 inch 4K TCL set. My two were not 4K and it was easy to see the difference. I did not recognize the TCL brand but after the salesperson informed me of TCL's background there was no doubt that this was the TV for me and it fit perfectly on top of my entertainment center next to my turntable. I was so happy I actually offered the salesperson a tip but he refused to take it. This set produces a crystal clear image with exceptionally bright colors and had Roku as well.

I was actually shopping for a ROKU stick to use on an old Samsung flatscreen TV. The salesman showed me this TV, and I was so impressed with the high quality and low price that I bought the TV and the ROKU stick, and I am very happy with both purchases.

It being my first 4k, I don't have anything to compare to except 1080p TVs. I love this tv. I easy set up and use, and connects to phone via app. I got this tv for my xbox one x, looks amazing with Red Dead Redemption 2. The 4k is outstanding with details popping out at you.

Picked this up to be a mobile TV between mud room and deck if we’re hanging out and have been worth every penny. The smart TV works great. WiFi is stable without any latency.

Makes gameplay amazingly detailed, has awesome refresh rate and plenty of customization! Great Price

We came into buy the 4 series But we bought the five series for $30 more and it was a great deal color is awesome we’re very happy

Nice clear picture. Lots of apps to choose from...

For its price, its amazing already! Choose video settings to have even more better quality videos. This one is for my ps4 and some youtube videos. And it does its job for its price! SO WORTH IT!

I was looking for an economical TV for my game room and I found this tremendous TV perfect for watching 4k movies and video game consoles.

Everyones eyes are different, what I like probably wont be what you like. Regardless I spent the whole summer researching TV's and finally decided on this -Price -Features -Performance Just couldnt be beat for 319.99 I owned a budget 4k samsung and I owned a budget 4k LG out of all 3 this TCL takes the cake. Yes on some models due to edgelit there is some back light bleeding. Its one of those things that you really have to be looking for to notice it. My only true gripe is the same with any flat panel, the speakers just plain suck. Right now LG makes some of the best speakers on their budget TVs. Regarding HDR You cannot and will not get the true enjoyment of any HDR title without a TV approaching 1000 nits of brightness. Most budget TVS hover between 250-500 its how they keep the price low. If you want the true HDR experience budget 4k TVs are not the answer. While HDR on this tv is noticeably better then the LG and Samsung i owned its still way to dark at times especially when playing video games. The bightness is essential in allowing everything in a scene to be highlighted from light to dark. When the picture is bright enough HDR looks great. So I wish i had settled on the TCL 6 Series instead as that gets a lot brghter and approached the 1000 nits necessary to atleast be average and ok HDR vs just why is it even here. TCL is very much the Vizio of the 20-teen years just like vizio made a name for themselves back in the mid 2000s. DO i recommend this TV: Yes especially if you are on a budget do not even look at anything else like the westinghouse, the fire TVs are ok but only if you are truly obsessed with amazons OS. This TV willl def satisfy those on a budget Duds happen especially on electronics I have had just as many name brand products crap out as I did cheap. So do not let the TCL name make you think this product isnt quality. Roku is easy to use and is getting a huge UI update soon for anyone who doesnt care for their interface Great buy and love the colors and picture everytime I watch something like The Avengers

It worked well while it lasted but I’m disappointed that it the screen has a black band on one half after warranty has expired. Going to stop buying TCL. I’m gonna stick with more reputable brands.

Good: Good picture, advanced features, menus easy to understand, easy setup, can use as TV without setting up Roku which means not forced to agree to any privacy policy (unlike some other brands), well built, excellent value for money The bad: Roku remote has no numeric keypad, univeral remote works but numeric keypad on it does not, gets hot on the bottom of TV when on for a few hours, so have to install the feet to let the bottom vent.

If you take the S515 for what it is at the given price, you simply cannot be disappointed. I use it primarily for gaming. I would NOT recommend this TV if you can spend $500+ and can fit $49" and above. At that point you can just get a 6-series TCL which is WAAAY better. The build quality is quite good despite being plastic. Its a reeaally good plastic. Stand is sturdy. The ROKU OS is wonderful. It was only say about 2 years ago where you had to spend $650+ for today's entry level 4k and software experience. And this TV does it for $350. The image is surprisingly good if you are staring straight at it. Not good from an angle. The blacks have a very weak emphasis and depending on you, you may need to increase the gamma which in turn will reduce the accuracy of other colors. Personally i kept the gamma as is and simply increased the brightness. Local dimming would of sure as heck made this TV a lot better. If you are looking for a big accurate screen get a 1440p monitor! HDR just like the S405 makes the image much darker but the S515 seems to remedy that issue with better brightness. But it does make a positive subtle difference overall. Makes the colors look a wee bit more natural. Speakers are well....passable. They are good enough for a bedroom setting.I actually prefer my $20 logitech speakers that i hooked up though. So yes, in conclusion, nothing quite beats the value of this TV at $350 unless you go for an older S405 which is really almost the same as the S515. Differences mainly lie in the backlight vs edge-lit, and difference in brightness. Everything else, like sound and image quality can nearly matched by calibration.

and I didn't pay all that much for this TV. I had read the reviews so I knew what I was getting into. They all said that viewing from any side angle was terrible but from straight on, it was a dynamite picture and that's completely true. In my application, the TV sits on a stand and is in a direct line of view to my seated position. Nobody else watches with me as it's in my den. The picture quality is very good. I have a high-end sound bar hooked up as the native sound quality from the TV's speakers, as described in many reviews, is indeed lousy. I have NOT had the opportunity to play any 4k HDR content on it, however as I play that on my 65" LG OLED which truly shines. But aside from one incident described here, this TV has performed perfectly. After having the unit for three months, I experienced a sudden issue where the whole screen when pink with horizontal lines and it made a horrible noise and then the power cut out completely. I didn't know what to do. I unplugged it at the TV and plugged it in again but no power. I unplugged it at the wall and plugged it in again and this time, the power came on. It began to play just like it had before with no issue whatsoever and there's been no problem ever since. I have no idea what that was all about but it is something to consider. In short, I'm very happy with this TV. I have YouTube TV, Google Home devices and use a Chromecast 4K so I have no interest whatsoever in the Roku capabilities of this unit but the included Roku functionality can't be understated.

What can i say, I'm totally impressed with this TV. Don't get me wrong I did my research. Right out the box I knew this TV was something special. So thin, so light. The setup was....are you kidding me, there was hardly any setup. I just used my phone to setup the account and voila, done. The TV is a Roku TV so you'll get apps for days. There is so much free content, it's almost like overload. The Real TEST. I has recently acquired AVENGERS : Infinity War from iTunes, 4K HDR. The colors are intense. The blacks, deep. This is a great TV to have, and for the money you can't go wrong. Totally satisfied.

Good picture and it's rated higher than 43" sets costing twice as much. Plenty bright and the black levels/contrast are decent. The ROKU operating system is fast and responsive with every app you could ever want. The only downside I've found so far is the viewing angle which is pretty narrow. Get too far off center and the colors wash out very quickly. For a small room or if watched mostly from a static position like in a bedroom, it's an excellent choice.
