C/C-
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good smart tv for the price, however, i just got an issue with it. I bought the tv 10mo ago & havent had any issues until now, which is the picture has gone out on it. Powers on but i have a black screen and cant do anything with it. Ive checked my connections and everything is as it should be. Im not worried the slightest bit because like with most all my electronics i buy i also buy the protection plan to go with the manufactures warranty. I get in-home service so nothing to be concerned about. The Geek Squad has taken card of me with prior purchases & i dont expect this will be any different.

TCL good, Google not so good!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The TCL TV is great and has a great picture, however I would never buy a TV with Google operating system again! The Google operating system is very glitchy. It's such a hassle to get to the channel/app of interest that I bought a different TV three months later and this one is sitting on the floor in a spare bedroom unused. Waited too long to return hoping it would get better but it got worse so I wasted $350.

Junk Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not suggest this tv to anyone. I have had my tv for a little over 2 years and the screen stays an illuminated black when turning it on. I have to keep resetting the tv every time I use it in order to keep a picture. Sometimes it need to be reset over and over to get a picture. After researching this tv , it is a common problem and I guess I was lucky that this problem did not occur sooner, as most complained at the one year mark, which is right when this tv falls out of warranty. I get that this tv is cheap, but never in my life have I had a tv stop working. I will never buy another TCL brand, and I suggest you don’t either.

not my first choice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TCL's are hit or miss. The tend to burn out very fast. Screen flickers, very fragile. Do not recommend unless you can't afford to get a Samsung, or Sony

Not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldn't purchase this product again. I should have returned it or done a warranty exchange when I had the opportunity. It has increasingly become laggy and has various technical issues that just grow over time. I've noticed it's been an issue for other owners of google TVs as well. Should have just gotten a cheap TV for how low quality and frustrating this product is.

Posted .Hi Ddmm,
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience. Our TVs are carefully designed and engineered to give our customers years of entertainment. Our TVs do come with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty for those rare times that defects occur. In cases like this, if you purchased an extended warranty, you may want to reach out to see if you can file a warranty claim through the extended warranty company. Furthermore, if you purchased using a credit card, some credit card companies also provide additional coverage. We will continue to make improvements to ensure our customers the best experience possible.
Thank you,

Quality Product, Terrible Connectivity issues
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great tv however there are some horrendous connectivity issues. Don't get me wrong it does connect to the internet but if you turn off the tv and turn it back on it will show that it's connected to wifi but has no internet access. This same issue is even worse when connected through ethernet to router. It is extremely frustrating as it requires for me to disconnect from the tv and reconnect to get it to work again. I have a Vizio in my living room that we've had for YEARS and have never had an issue. The TV is incredible, however these issues are extremely frustrating when you expect the best from your purchase. I'm hoping that this is a software issue and it will be resolved in time but if nothing changes I ill be returning the unit and purchasing something else.

It’s a good TV for the moneyl
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a good TV for the price. I wish I would have looked into the purchase before I bought it. I would have known more about what I was buying. I didn’t know it was Android. That’s strictly my own fault though.

Not even a year & it already gives me problems
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was so happy when I got my tv, it was bigger than I thought, and I loved everything about it. 9 months later, whenever I turn on my tv, a black screen appears. I was so confused since I had no idea what was happening, then I realized that the tv got connected to my speaker but I couldn’t see anything. That’s when I realized that I can hear that the tv works but the screen doesn’t display anything. I clicked the YouTube button, and it worked, I was able to hear a video playing but there was no image. I was very disappointed because I wasn’t expecting something like that. Thanks to TCL tech support, I was able to “fix” that bug at first, but now, 11 months later, the same thing keeps happening. I turn on my tv, and there’s a black screen. I can things in the background but nothing is displayed on the screen, it’s black. I have to unplug it, wait a few seconds to turn it back on because it doesn’t display anything otherwise. I don’t know what else to do, it’s just annoying to have to worry about those things

Great TV value
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a surprisingly great buy. The image is pretty great and sharp. It was affordable and just right size. I love that it has the Android TV OS. Since it seems like Nvidia shield has been abandoned, this is the next best thing.

Don't Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Broke after me than two years. Remote wouldn't connect even with brand new batteries. Tech support asked all the dumb basic questions then said there was nothing they could do and i should replace it. On tv controls didn't work either.
