    We needed a digital signage TV, so I was looking for a 1080p model for a good price and without a lot of bells & whistles, but I wanted one that clearly stated that it had a built-in media player app for playing slideshows from a USB thumb drive. I docked this model one star because you can't set the duration for the slide (or photo) playback manually, you only get four choices. For me, the jump from an 8-second pace to 15 seconds per slide seems huge. For certain kinds of informational slides, I think you'd want to be able to select 10-, 11- or 12-second durations. But maybe that's just me!

    Not very user friendly.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this as a Christmas present for my grandpa, and figured he would have no problem using it since they already have a google tv in the livingroom (Sony Bravia). Boy, I was wrong. The remote doesn't have an input button (and he watches cable), so everytime he wants to go to HDMI 1 he has to go to the settings first which can be super confusing. They need to add a "Cable" tile to the home screen so it's front and center; The Sony Bravia Google TV does this, so I'm not sure why this feature is lacking on the TCL. Also, the sleep timer turns off by itself so you have to re-enable it every single day. Sound quality is awful. For a 2023 TV, I am extremely disappointed.
