This TV is a Good Deal. If you're on the fense about it, like I was buy it. I was skeptical from reading some of the reviews and because this is new technology. I understand the technical details because I'm an Electrical Engineer. So I can tell you, there's no need to get hung up on the technical details. This is an HD-High Definition TV and a good deal. I wish someone would have just come out and said this - so I am.

More Detail - This is what most people refer to as an HD TV. They're just calling it something extra because the technology is relatively new. They're referring to this TV as HD-4K-HDR because HD technology is changing and there are different types of HD Technology. I think this is where a lot of people are getting hung up or confused. The bottom line is this is a great HD TV at a low cost. This TV is very User Friendly - meaning they do a good job in the end user having to do little to nothing to set it up. The TV is intuative, which I think throws a lot of people off. An example would be (Ghosting). You might see the TV blurry or lagging behind - just give the TV time to adjust to what you're watching and the picture will become crystal clear! This is just one example of one thing that happens initially. After the TV has the chance to adjust, you won't see that again (it remembers what it had to adjust) then it's done. It's really an incredible technology. With that said for those of you that like to make adjustments, you can still do this also. You just need to do a little research. There are basic adjustments for the Roku program and detailed adjustments for the TV itself. Just remember that you must be in the TV mode to make these adjustments. Just pull up a news program off of the Roku menu, this will allow you to fine tune the TV by pressing the * button on the remote. You'll see a very detailed/different menu of adjustments. Once you get the settings where you want them - they will also have the same effect on the Roku streaming channels like Amazon Prime, Netflix etc. It's really an incredible technology for the basic or (technical) user.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid 4K TV at a Solid Price
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2018
Verified Purchase
I love the picture. While there are few true HDR sources available, I did enjoy the HDR a great deal. I rented HP7-2 from Vudu; it is available in 4k HDR. It looked as good as it did in the theater. Truly amazing. Non HDR sources look amazing as well.

Also, I have been having a great time replaying some of my all time favorite video games at 4k. I had trouble gaming at 4K at first. The key is that you have to explicitly set the HDMI input you are using to HDMI 2.0; For some reason auto-detect did not work. Once I did that, I got 60+FPS in my games. If you do not set HDMI 2.0, you will get stuck at 30fps and some games will get confused.

I do have a few minor beefs with the set. First of all, the SPID-F output is straight pass through. I have my TV hooked up to a Dolby-D surround system. The problem is that when you turn the built in speakers off, the volume on the Roku remote no longer controls the volume. I have to use two remotes to watch and adjust volume. While I have not tested the HDMI-ARC feature, it is possible it has the same problem. I hope TCL elects to fix this oversight in an upcoming firmware release.

My second (minor) issue is this: There is wasted button space on the remote. Netflix, Sling, Hulu, and Starz each have a dedicated button. At the same time there is no button for switching inputs. Instead, I have to hit home, then navigate to my desired input, and then press okay. I understand the appeal of having a minimal remote, but this one is too minimal. How about additional function codes that could be accessed on a universal remote? Do I really need to use universal remote macros to surf my way?

None of my beefs are big enough to dock any stars; though I do hope the manufacturer considers these issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great bang for buck, and even my mom knows how to use it
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2018

Got this a few days ago after our non-smart TV bit the dust. We are cord-cutters with a Chromecast plugged into the old TV, so I wasn't planning on getting a smart TV or even upgrading to 4K, but the price on this one convinced me. I am SO happy that I did. We got the 43" version due to space constraints.

My 67-year-old mom had trouble using Chromecast and thus only used a small subsection of the content we have available. She kept forgetting how to pause shows from her phone, couldn't figure out how to get to different channels and kept grumbling about going back to cable. This Roku TV's interface with the remote is so much easier for her to use (after you initially connect all your accounts). We use Netflix, Hulu with Live TV, Amazon Prime Video, VUDU and Pandora plus we have an antenna for OTA channels. Everything works perfectly so far and now I don't have to listen to threats about getting cable TV again.

Some nice surprises: 1) it networked effortlessly with the Windows 10 computers in our house. We can now watch all the shows I have stored on my media computer upstairs. No additional configuration is needed as long as you have your homegroup/sharing set up already. 2) you can hook up a 16GB flash drive to enable pausing live OTA channels for up to 90 minutes.

In response to some negative reviews:

-No dead pixels. Picture looks fine (although I'm not comparing it to any high-end TVs -- just the 10+ year old one it replaced). Haven't tried 4K yet.

-Sound is lackluster, but acceptable for our purposes. It gets plenty loud enough for my mom to hear it, and that's all we needed (she's one of those irritating old people who can't hear but won't get a hearing aid). I'd say this is the weakest link on this TV by far and the reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. But at this price point, it's just not fair to expect perfection.

-The interface seems fine in terms of speed. No lag here. Just be sure to connect to your 5G network to make sure you get the fastest wifi connection.

-You do NOT need to pay for a Roku account to get it working (basic roku accounts are free).

-The TV is a bit on the glossy side, I guess, but probably only in comparison because our old set was really dirty.

I looked at lots of reviews of TVs under $600. It struck me that most had similar distributions of reviews, with about 8-10% leaving 1-star reviews, most of which reflected problems with the set right out of the box. Figuring that people are way more likely to report problems than sets that work as expected, I guesstimated that sets in the budget category have <5% chance of being dead/unusable on arrival, and that tech support in that circumstance would be seriously irritating regardless of which brand I ended up with. So I'd say don't let the bad reviews scare you off, and just cross your fingers that you're in the 95%+ who gets a good one. This logic worked for me, anyway!

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid TV, flawless and speedy app/interface navigation
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2017

I've used the TV for a limited time, but I'm so far very pleased. Setup was a breeze. Getting apps setup via Roku TV worked flawlessly. I've used Netflix, Plex TV, Beachbody OnDemand, HBO Go and various others and they all work great. I tested 4K via Netflix using our wifi connection in our home and the picture is amazing. I have 2 Samsung TVs in other rooms in the house (65 inch and 55 inch). They are great TVs, but both at least 2 years old.
The bigger differences I noticed immediately is the following:
1) Picture quality is very nice compared to the older Samsung sets we have. Neither of those sets are 4K, so that is noticeable.
2) I've noticed is how responsive and fast it is to launch apps and navigate menus. The Samsung TVs both take a long time to automatically connect to Wifi and as a result, you'd think the apps aren't working. Once connected, the apps take a long time to load and generally the responsiveness of the UI isn't the greatest. The TCL is flawless, smooth and super fast.

The only thing that I wished was different was a longer power chord...but that's something I can easily fix by finding one online without a issue.

Very happy with my purchase so far.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broke twice in 7 weeks.
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017

UPDATE:

After writing my original review, the t.v. broke TWICE. The first time the screen messed up, like it was zoomed in 5x. It finally corrected when I clicked on Netflix, accidentally because it was so zoomed in I couldn't see what I was selecting.

Then, today, 7 weeks after getting it, the external sound just stopped while we were watching it. After troubleshooting I realized it wasn't the soundbar. Both the optical out and analog outs did not work.

The coax connector also broke loose literally from the cable weight alone going up to the t.v.

This t.v. is built like garbage. Just horrible. The low price, features, and picture qualify do not make up for the terrible build quality. AVOID THIS T.V.

Breakdown on this t.v.:

It's very LIGHT. Easy to hang.

The picture is very good. No complaints at all, looks great in a room with some natural light. Did some tweaking using settings I found in a Google search.

The interface is decent. A little lag on the Roku interface, but it works.

The SOUND is HORRIBLE. This is what brought this down to 3 stars. There are no advanced audio editing functions, not even a basic EQ tweak, just a few presets. My kids and I literally couldn't understand what people were saying. Muddy, awful internal speakers. I had to immediately buy a soundbar with a sub.

Decent enough t.v., nice to have the Roku built in, works fine, GET A SOUNDBAR or SOUND SYSTEM.
