TCL - 40" Class 3-Series Full HD Smart Android TV

This TV fulfills all my needs! I was looking for a mid-range 1080p smart TV that was bigger than my old one. I was blown away by how much higher quality this TV is. I might be a bit biased since my old TV was a 22 inch 720p 'dumb' TV (pretty old for today's standards) but this TV is still worth the money I spent on it! My only gripe is that the app selection isn't the best. Android TV comes with many, many media apps, but in my opinion, they should make more versions of 'regular' apps for the TV. This doesn't affect the value at all, just my personal opinion.

I work in the AV industry as a system designer/installer so I see a lot of products. This is NOT the best TV in the world or anything like that but for a entry level TV and at this price I was frankly expecting much worse. This TV simply has a decent bright picture, very good smart platform (Android) which seems to run faster than the ROKU platform on my other "4" series TCL. Motion blur is visible on fast action but not awful. The sound output is surprisingly loud and good enough to fill a mid-sized room/patio but not very deep in the bass range (which is to be expected). The remote is simple and feels solid. For my use I bring this in and out to the patio where it is a mostly shaded area and it works great. For under $200 it is crazy the performance and features you can get. I chose this over similar priced 4k units because really the 4k is irrelevant unless you are sitting less than 6' away which I am not and the larger pixels let more light through so for my use this 1080p brighter screen was a better choice.

I cannot believe how poorly TVs are made these days! I bought an LG smart TV in 2013, and by 2017, it needed a new main board. By the end of 2019, the entire tv crashed. Then, I bought a Samsung smart TV in 2018 and by early 2020, the smart part of the TV no longer worked, so I had to hook up an old Roku. That TV has also completely bit the dust now. The TCL has an easy to use interface, a slim remote, and I love the YouTube button as that is really all I watch anymore. I love the audio only option for bedtime. Neither of my previous TVs had that option. I was able to configure an almost perfect picture and hook up my sound bar with ease. Lastly, the screensaver photos are a nice touch. Highly recommend.

Bought this as a birthday present for my grandson. We recently cut the cord and went to a live streaming service. Wanted a simple, easy to use tv with nothing complicated for him. This tv does that for sure. Was easy to set up and connect to our internet service, activate the apps needed and a couple more that he wanted. Up and running in 15 minutes after mounting on the wall. Definitely recommend this tv for anyone looking for ease of use.

I was looking to buy a tv for my master bedroom and found this during the Fourth of July sale. Did some research and decided to purchase it. I have a TCL with a Roku built it and decided to go tot he TCL route but with an Android feature (currently an iPhone user, tho). After testing it out, I am very happy with my purchase. Set up was easy and it is user friendly. This is a lot faster than my other TCL and it fits nicely in my bedroom.

Recently moved into a new home and needed smaller tvs for the bedrooms. Getting a google/android OS based TV was a great option and for the price, I think I got my money's worth. I didn't expect superb clarity or great color depth from these, but for what I paid they are more than adequate. I much prefer the Android TV version of these versus the Roku version. The OS on these seem much sleeker and intuitive and theres also access to the play store for other applications. The Roku version seems much more limited in functionality and app availability. I'm very happy with my purchase.

This TV works great for a bedroom. It even has Bluetooth so you can link your EarPods and let your spouse get a quiet rest. I only gave it a four because I haven’t watched any sports on it. So I’m not sure how it will process the image. I didn’t get to audition this TV in the store as I bought it during Covid-19. For buying a pig in a poke I’m very pleased.

This isn't some crazy good TV that gives you all the newest features but, this is a good secondary TV with good picture and solid Android performance. We put one of these in each of our boys rooms and we can easily cast any usable service to them with no issues. The parental controls built into them are wonderful, you can basically lock down a restricted profile with access only to the apps/services you approve.
