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

Got this on sale for $180, and I’ve used it everyday practically for a month. It’s in my workshop with me so it’s mostly to have something in the background. With that being said it’s perfect for my needs and was right in my budget. The pros for me definitely outweigh the cons that I experienced. Pros - Great picture (once customized) - Good sound (could use more aid just mentos options though) - Android OS (Perfect especially for anyone who wants HBO Max currently not available on Roku or fire stick platforms) - Quick response time, smooth scrolling Cons -The remote is a great size but the buttons are all so close together it’s a terrible design as you’ll find yourself hitting the wrong button constantly. (Check the picture) - Audio really needs more adjustment options, the speakers are really decent but you can’t tweak all the things you need to in order to get the most out of them - Auto volume control setting is almost worthless, it only seems to work some of the time and then other times doesn’t seem to do anything really. -Could use a few more picture adjustment options as well

It's a good size for any bedroom. If you can navigate through an Android smart phone, this TV's operating system should be a breeze to use. It's 1080P resolution is good enough for me, since there is yet not a lot of 4K content out there. The viewing angles and the glare on this set are not that great though. It is best viewed from a straight center position. I wall mounted ours for it to point straight to our bed and it looks amazing. Very surprised with the quality of this TV. You do have to adjust the picture settings to achieve the best capable picture. I would not recommend it as a living room set. Bluetooth capability makes it easy to connect to wireless sound devices. In addition, you can connect a wireless keyboard and mouse via its usb hub and it has voice search!

I chose this 40" TCL over my normal purchase of Samsung, only because it was about 100 bucks cheaper. I had a really bad experience with an Element TV a few years back and was scared to venture away from Samsung again. I'm delighted to say that I love this TCL. It's crazy easy set up and use. It works great with my Android Phone and it fits my needs perfectly. I would definitely purchase again, granted the tv lasts.

Bought for my outside patio to watch sports, get Over the Air Channels and for the Android TV feature. Works great. I use the bluetooth feature to run my small sound bar. Can turn off screen when listening to music. The Android TV gets almost all my streaming services. Controller takes getting use to. Overall a great TV, especially when considering the price from BB.

The picture quality is great on this TV. There are also several different types of inputs for cable, broadcast antenna, speakers, etc. The only thing I wish was different is the remote does not have a number keypad for selecting channels, and there is no sound "mute" button. Very easy to hook up.

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.

Decided to try the Android version rather than the Roku version that I have owned in the past. I really hope to see more android TVs; because they are much more useful than the Roku counterparts. For instance, I can toss large MKV movie files on a thumb drive and this TV will play it no questions asked. The Roku model I am always needing to re-encode them to work. The interface is certainly not as smooth as my Nvidia Shield, but it's workable and I enjoy having similar interfaces on all my tvs without needing to connect a shield to each one. The remote is good, BUT not as good as the roku or the shield remote. They could work on the remote. Wifi range appears to be terrific. It can reach my home network further than my cell phone can. Speakers are fine. We have installed this in our camper using a $9 fixed mount. So far it has been great, we are going to get the 40" as well for the main trailer area.

I thought that wasn't what I wanted but the more I watch and work with it I been enjoying this Smart TV.
