i’m very happy with this purchase. i was a little bit hesitant because of the Roku but i actually really like it. i have set up my cable tv as well and I’m able to switch anytime to it. Mine is connected with the HDMI cable - super easy to set up.
you need to have a Roku account. i registered one prior tv arrival for easy log in. you can only register with a credit card but it is free unless you download apps you have to pay for. i downloaded the amazon and netflix apps for free and sign in with my user name etc. i really like the amazon and netflix “shortcuts” bottoms that will get you to the app regardless if you’re watching cable tv.
I have this TV for a month now and never had an issue with a wifi disconnection.
you can’t go wrong with this tv. it is truly amazing. i suggest you get the warranty for that peace of mind.
BUY NOWAmazing TV/Monitor!
I needed a second monitor for my work laptop and saw that for a 32in it was cheaper to get a TV then an actual monitor. The tv looks and works great. I love the extra roku features that come with the smart tv and the easy-to-use interface. Since its 1080p I can clearly see text on my screen. The thin bezel takes up very little space and set up was just screwing in the legs. For graphics it might not be the best but for regular computing it's a great deal to use as a monitor. I like that I can always switch on roku and watch TV shows if I want to at anytime. It also shows me a thumbnail of what will be displayed depending on what input I select. It's getting rare to find 32in TVs that are 1080p. Most are now 720p. At this price point it's the best deal for a 32in with all the features that I was able to find anywhere.
I also bought the 4k 49in TCL tv for my office and love that too. I'm really surprised about the quality of the product for such a cheap price. As soon as you turn it on it goes right into setup mode. You make an account (all free no credit card needed) and then you can also use your phone as another remote.
I'll probably be buying a 3rd TCL for my bedroom when their newest 4k versions go down in price a little.
See pictures: Perfect TV for a non-theater type home setup. Simple and intuitive with a nice picture
This TCL 40-inch TV offers a great solution for most casual home setups. We have put it in our closet like armoire that had been previously accommodating a fifteen year old standard definition 42" plasma TV. That old plasma had been handed down from our family room a few years ago when we upgraded. The problem was, it required we keep an extra cable box setup in our bedroom at a cost of $11/month. Since we infrequently use the bedroom TV it did not make financial sense to keep the cable setup and as a result we sacrificed a usable TV. This TV was a reasonable investment whose upfront cost would offset the cable box setup in a little over a year. We also now have Netflix, Youtube, Amazon Music and many broadcast channels from the internal antenna jack and all the app channels we care to add on (ESPN, News, etc).
The installation was simple and required nothing but another device with an internet connection to verify connections/logins (I used my iPhone). The remote control is simple to use and the TV's interface is simple to navigate. For a simple home setup, this TV is perfect; with its nice HD picture, simple interface, reasonable price and internal speakers. This was well worth the purchase for our needs and I would recommend this TV for all but those looking to use it as part of some glorious theater setup. Should any issues develop as time goes on I will update. A picture is attached for reference.
Incredible TV For The Price!
So far I've tried various preinstalled streaming apps, a desktop computer, PS4, and Nintendo Switch on this set, and I'm quite satisfied with the picture in all cases.
The audio quality of the built-in speakers is satisfactory. Reaches a decent volume level and comes through fairly clear.
The UI for the Smart Features is very responsive and doesn't lag much at all. This was a pleasant surprise.
It's also a shockingly light weight. Almost too light, in fact. I'm slightly worried that if it's placed somewhere that it could easily get bumped into then that might be a problem. That said, if you plan to move it around a lot then the light weight is definitely a plus.
This TV wont blow you away, it obviously doesn't compare to more expensive sets, but at this price it's an absolute steal.
Far better quality than I expected for what I paid. Definitely recommended if you're in the market for a budget
Really Enjoying my TV, except for one thing.
The one thing that I don't feel that TCL did well is the remote. There are four pre-programmed buttons on the remote for various Roku channels. Pressing one of these buttons takes you directly to that channel. Great works well. The problem is that the user can't re-program these buttons to the channels of their choice. For example, one of the buttons is pre-programmed for "Sling" which would be great if I subscribed to Sling, but I don't. I would like to have the ability to re-program that button for PBS. I checked with TCL support and nope, nada, no can do. It would seem like such a little thing for a "Smart TV" to do.
Great TV. Be careful buying wall mounts!!!
I love this TV! Have 3 TCLs for my house.
My only grip is that you can't just buy any wall mount out there. The mounts screws on the back of the TV are less that 4 inches apart. The generic mount I bought only supported TVs with mount screws 4 inches or more. Because of that I had to return and get new ones. And my wall studs are not lined up so I can't use the one they recommend since it's a single point mounting. So, do your research and before buying a wall mount.
I'll say again, the TV by itself is very good TV. Great quality and great price.
Love my Roku TV!
Let me tell you why I love this TV. First of all I like the picture quality! Beautiful vibrant colors and nice sound quality make this a great purchase. The pre-loaded apps are cool. I like the options on the Roku channel. But my favorite feature is the shop from the remote feature. I can buy from the comfort of my own home quickly and easily! I think this was a good purchase and will buy again, as soon as I can afford it
for the price it can't be beat
Bought this TV for a spare bedroom. A 1080p Smart TV for under $175? An absolute steal of a deal. The Roku setup was easy and intuitive and I was watching a streaming movie in about 15 minutes. the picture clarity is crisp and vibrant -- not the same as my 55" OLED of course, but at this price point I was very impressed. Sound quality was fine (again I had to remind myself that I'm used to a sound bar / subwoofer set up). The unit has a nice minimal design, the remote is basic and intuitive and the TV is very lightweight, making setup a breeze (but is a mild concern it could tip over easily if the stand it is on is bumped). Overall very happy with my purchase and will look to TCL first when I'm ready to replace the TVs in my other bedrooms as well.
Fabulous bargain!
Everything about this device is perfect for my outdoor entertainment center. It is portable enough to take undercover when it rains and feature packed for my viewing pleasure. Setup is user friendly, even supports miracast with ease. I have been a Roku user since the first boxes became available. This hardware has always delivered quality for an incredibly low price. You don't need to pay for high-speed access to enjoy a variety of content. My 6Mps DSL connection is just fine for Roku streaming and surfing the net simultaneously. Why pay the cable companies ridiculous prices?
