Reviews around value (4.90 of 5)

  • It's an excellent value if you're looking for a cheap TV
  • Second, TCL's non-4K TVs have uneven white values because of back-light bleed-in around the corners of the screen
  • Little fuzzy in details but for the price it is a good value.
  • The tv works good and good value but the remote quit working after two days
  • Seems to be a great TV and value for the money, hope it holds up!

  • It has great features and the ROKU is superior our Fire TV
  • I love the integrated Roku features and TV works great.

Reviews around app (4.11 of 5)

  • and I think the app beats most of the other proprietary smart tv apps from samsung, LG, or Sony.
  • Awesome picture quality and easy to add apps like Netflix,Plex and YouTube TV
  • I frequently have apps just spin and spin until they freeze and all I can do is unplug the TV and plug it back in
  • The TV has a clear bright picture, and I like the integrated apps
  • The mobile Roku remote app is nice, but the keyboard and other aspects only function correctly on certain apps

Reviews around connection (2.54 of 5)

  • The TV connects to my Internet connection via Wi-Fi, which is great but that does not guarantee a consistent 1080p connection through Wi-Fi.

  • It also loses connection (which is not brought on by our service)
  • It usually losses connection with the WiFi and during the last week started turning off by itself.
  • Setting it up to WiFi was very easy and connection has been great

Reviews around pad (2.28 of 5)

  • The others are better but not as sharp as they could be
  • then those work as they should and are completely fine.
  • The remote is small, but functional; volume controls are on the side, which takes getting used to, and it lacks a number pad, so changing channels can be a bit cumbersome
  • The remote, like the TV, is very easy to use but the absence of a number pad is regrettable
  • It arrived very quickly and it was very well packed and padded in the box when it arrived

  • I have my inputs as well as Netflix, Amazon, and sport networks
