    Great 43-inch 4k HDR10 tv for the price, especially gaming. I previously purched the 43" lg uq75, not just for gaming but also for streaming and watching OTA tv. The picture quality is amazing. It doesn't have 2.1 hdmi, but man, the picture is amazing. The remote is kinda nice. The only downside is that it isn't back-lit. Setup was very easy as with any smart tv. Now that I have set up and am running for 2 days, I hope it lasts. This is my first TCL television. At the time of purchase, $209 it was a no-brainer. If you're looking for google Smart tv, do not hesitate on this one. Gaming looks really, really good compared to my 165hz 1440p monitor. I have a rtx 4090, and at 4k (which it is meant for), the picture is fantastic, and colors pop out. Great job from Bestbuy having it in stock and having it ready it ready on time for me. It also has dolby atmos, but I really haven't used it yet. I was able to get 116 fps on SOTR at high setting on this 4k television, and a 112 fps on MW2 on ultra settings.

    I wanted a TV for my shop and I didn’t want to pay a fortune. Upon the recommendation of the great salesman in Best Buy, he suggested a TCL. This is the first time I’ve bought a tv that wasn’t a Samsung or LG and this TCL has been great! I have been so impressed with the picture quality and everything else about this 43” tv! Highly recommend!

    I love this TV. Wanted somthing for my room. And its pretty loud picture quality is almost as good as my sony tv i got about 10 years ago. For the price you cant go wrong with it. I would advise atleast gettingbthe 2 year warranty or more just in case you have issues down the road

    I love my TCL 43" S4 S-Class Google Smart TV (2023)! I've always been a Vizio and Samsung person. But the type of Vizio I was looking for at the time, was hard to find practically anywhere? So I saw this deal at Best Buy and had it all the features (for right around $199-$250) I wanted. This particular model didn't have the more expensive backlit displays, but I am happy with the brightness and the sharpness and the clarity of it! I would recommend TCL to my family and friends. I am now a TCL lover!

    Love it.. great picture and quality.. spent over an hour in the store trying to find the perfect TV for my budget to play my PlayStation on just to find out later on on reviews online that he's not even the best TV for beginner gamers or game. It's more for movies and stuff like that but I love it affordable andits an upgrade from what I had

    I'm not going to lie.. the tv had me skeptical cause I purchased without knowing much about it. I just broke my 4k TV and needed it for my Xbox series x. And it honestly looks better and can't beat the price at 200. Much nicer than my last tv. Definitely worth it.

    This smart tv is awesome. I haven't upgraded since 2017. I definitely have been missing out. It was so easy to purchase this tv while I was at work. Especially since it was a last minute purchase. Best Buy had me covered. I explained to my household to not ever make anymore purchases without visiting the Best Buy app first. You might miss out... you will miss out on Best Buy...sss. Appreciate you all.
