Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great Value, awesome picture.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I bought this TV for my office space, to replace a small 19 inch TV, to view my security systems and watch local TV broadcasts. The picture, color and sound are all excellent. The price was right and it arrived the SAME DAY of my online order. My only real complaint about the TV, and this holds true for almost ALL "smart" TVs, is the interface is agonizingly SLOW. It seems like it takes forever to navigate the onscreen menus and options. Other than that, it's a great unit for what I am using it for.

A Quality TV at a Modest Price
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.A Quality TV at a Modest Price. I mounted my 32" tv on the bedroom wall. A beautiful picture with surprisingly good sound. This tv weighs only 9 pounds. It was easy for me to mount it to the wall my myself. Very easy to connect to my WiFi and to access my Roku account. I'm glad I chose this TV for my purchase.

Great Little TV For A Small Space
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Inexpensive 1080p tv. Fast and easy set up. Excellent picture right out of the box. Bought as a small bedroom tv for our granddaughter. Had it professionally mounted and installed with the in-wall electrical outlet so that our grandson could not pull the tv off the stand. Perfect for the small bedroom.

Great PC monitor/TV
||Posted .I bought this to use as a new monitor for my laptop, due to the price of a smaller screen for twice the price. I use this setup daily for gaming and homework. I will recommend this product to anyone that is in the market for a new monitor, but doesn't want to spend $300+ for a monitor. I bought one then a week later went and purchased the second one for my PC setup.

Roku platform slower than a roku express...
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I like the tv, but there’s a few things to know before buying this tcl model... The roku platform on this tv is slower than a roku express, a lot of interface and audio lag in heavy apps like HBO and Netflix. Picture quality is average, even though it is 1080 full hd, theres not much difference with a 720p tv (probably the cheaper tcl 720p is a better option than this and image quality difference will be negligible). There’s no wired network connection, only wifi. If you have wifi lag problems search on google how to override the bitrate (is really easy and it’ll work better)

Great for college dorms
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This is great for college students when they go away. My daughter rents a room in a house by her campus along with other girls that go to the same school. There’s no cable in her room so this was perfect. We already had an acct with Netflix, Hulu and Prime video.

Great as Monitor
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.We needed a new monitor for a bedroom computer and thought it would be nice to have a screen that would be both a TV and a reasonably sized monitor. So far, no issues; it's working great in both capacities.

Q: Questionwhat's the difference between 720p and 1080p?
Asked by jkay.
- A:Answer jkay, It all has to do with vertical screen resolution - the more lines, the clearer the image on the screen will be. The size of the screen also matters. When you put 1080 lines on a 32 inch screen versus a 65 inch screen, the lines will be closer or thinner on the smaller screen, and the image will appear much clearer on the small screen when viewing both from the same point. Larger screens with the highest amount of lines are best when viewing across a large room and a 32 inch screen is typically best for small rooms. Get a tv with the most lines, 4K is becoming the standard and offers the best image quality at present time.

Q: QuestionI already have a Roku account via a monthly subscription. With this TV, will I still need to pay for the Roku account? My thought is that perhaps not but if I want to continue to access Roku on a non-Roku read TV that I will still need the paid account.
Asked by JazziM.
- A:Answer In order to use the smart features of this TCL Roku TV, you would need to complete the guided setup. This includes connecting to the Internet via WiFi, creating or signing into a Roku account (completely free), and activating the TV (completely free). However, if you just want to use this TV as a traditional TV by connecting external devices through the various inputs and not use the smart features, you can elect to not connect this TV to the Internet at start up. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support

Q: QuestionWould this tv screen work well as a computer monitor for a laptop too? Anyone use it for this purpose? Is the text clear and crisp?
Asked by Brian.
- A:Answer Yes. We have ours set up with an HDMI cable to a laptop and it displays clearly as the main monitor. We are also using a wireless keyboard/mouse so allows the laptop remains closed and actually fits under the tv and is out of the way... pretty slick setup.

Q: QuestionCan I use the apps (netflix, youtube etc) right out of the box or do I have to have some sort of Roku membership/account in order to access these apps? One of the reviewers mentioned having a Roku acct and how everything was easier because of it???
Asked by jode143.
- A:Answer To access the smart features you must connect your TV to the Internet, create a Roku account, and activate your TV. Creating a Roku account and activating your TV is completely free. There is no subscription fee to use the Roku operating system. Thank you, TCL Customer Support

Q: QuestionCan you pair bluetooth headphones to this TV, either directly or with a plug-in audio transmitter?
Asked by Wayne.
- A:Answer You can download the free Roku app on your smart phone or tablet to use voice search, voice control, and experience private listening. To enjoy private listening you simply click private listening in the app, and attach headphones to your smart phone or tablet. Or you can use the 3.5 mm headphone jack in the back of the TV to connect standard headphones/Bluetooth headphones with a transmitter. Hope this helps. Thank you, TCL Customer Support
