Q: What smart features does this TV offer?

A: Yes, Chromecast is built-in, so you can enjoy content from thousands of streaming apps.

Q: Does this TV have Bluetooth capability?

A: Yes, you can pair your Bluetooth headphones to the TV for a private listening experience.

Q: What type of backlight does this TV use?

A: This TV uses a High Brightness Direct LED Backlight for an enhanced viewing experience.

Q: What is the resolution of this TCL TV?

A: This TCL TV has a 4K Ultra HD resolution, which is four times the resolution of a 1080p Full HD TV.

Q: Is this TV capable of connecting to Bluetooth headphones?

A: Yes, this TCL not only has BLUETOOTH but also has the A2DP profile which is an advanced distribution profile that allows BLUETOOTH to transmit 2 channels of hi-res audio meaning left and right channel which is stereo and therefore required for hedphones to work properly. You can still find LED-LCD TV's that have BLUETOOTH but are lacking the A2DP profile and it's advanced distribution ability which seems dumb but most people think of BLUETOOTH solely as the way to connect phones to cars and or headphones for music when really its a wireless connection between 2 devices like a remote or keyboard to a TV and why you'll find TV's with BLUETOOTH but don't allow you to connect headphones. Sorry for the long winded answer but 1, I'm an electrical engineer and 2, I think it's important to know that having BLUETOOTH doesn't mean you can use headphones and why that is. I hope this helps

Q: : QuestionMy dad's falls asleep and the TV can be on all night sometimes before he turns it off ,can this harm the TV if done all the time. He's a senior.(1 answer)

A: It would shorten the lifespan of the TV from just wear and tear but you wouldnt cause any direct harm. Strictly speaking the only issue would be burned in images. That isnt a problem with newer QLEDs anymore so I would not be worried about it at all!
