5.0 out of 5 stars Fab value, great picture.
I like its picture quality, ease of setup and the fact it's so light I can move it wherever in the house I might want it!Dark colours could be better but it looks great after tweaking some settings. Netflix app is included, obviously you will have to pay your own subscription for it to work, internet speeds are fast, and it ultimately is FANTASTIC value for its money.
5.0 out of 5 stars TCL review
It’s worth the price, clear vision, nice…
4.0 out of 5 stars This TV has many bells and whistles.
Originally, I bought this TV for the bedroom but in fact used it as a replacement in the kitchen. First impressions are that it is an excellent set which in the two weeks that I bought it on Bolo, has increased in price by £20. It is still excellent value for money.I could have been put off by some very ill-informed reviews here! Only 720 HD, surely they have not built sets with that resolution for years? But on a 32” screen so what. In fact while watching a programme via my Sky Q Mini Box through the HDMI input, I hit the i button to see that the resolution was in fact 1080. I must admit, the specifications page on the TCL website is confusing sometimes referring to 720 and at other times 1080. So, I rang the TCL number provided by Bolo to find it had changed to 02037953308. In the end, I was put through to a very knowledgeable lady who confirmed that the resolution is 1080. She also gave me a part number for a remote control with built in microphone for issuing voice commands (RC602S) as the supplied remote does not have a microphone. More about that later.With TVs I usually like to play around with the settings but in fact, the picture did not need tweaking, it is excellent. I did use the equaliser to push the bass up and the sound was better than expected via the internal speakers. In fact, I use the headphone output to connect to speakers in the ceiling via a small amplifier which is fine - doubt that I am benefitting from the Dolby Sound with that configuration.Although I am mainly using Sky with the TV I tuned in the Freeview channels and even though I have a very old aerial, the TV tuned in excess of 140 channels. Some of the newer frequencies obviously did not work but that is an aerial issue. Interestingly, the TV identified the Freeview streamed channels (bet hardly anyone knows or let alone cares about them) but the TV could not resolve them unlike my large LG.As mentioned, Sky via HDMI works well.On the Android side, many apps including Netflix AND Prime TV are provided but as others have noted the Google Play Store where you normally find apps (generic names apk) is not well stocked for this TV and strangely the BBC iPlayer cannot be found at all. But here, geekiness sets in. Go to the Play Store and download a programme called Downloader. Once installed search for iPlayer. It will come back with a message that Downloader needs a browser add on. Download that and search for iPlayer.apk, there are many to choose from but the latest version can be downloaded and it works. But there is an issue and that is that you really need a mouse to navigate. As it happens, I had an old cheap keyboard/mouse that was easy to install and makes navigating the screen even easier. Also search for an app called on Downloader called Mobdro. This is easily installed and gives you access to hundreds of global TV stations including News and Sports.Finally, I said that I would come back to voice commands. I use an iPhone and was surprised that there is an app called Android TV. When the TV is on, it connects to the app and can act as a keyboard, a track ball for mouse functions and using the iPhone microphone, you can use voice search. The trick is to touch the microphone button and then speak rather than keeping the button depressed while speaking. It works well and the app is free. I am sure that there must be a similar app for Android phones.So, in summary, this is a high quality and keenly priced TV. OK, it helps if you enjoy technical challenges but straight out of the box, you will be connected in minutes and Netflix and Prime TV are there waiting for you as well as Freeview and if you have a suitable satellite TV dish pointed at 28 degrees you can get the free Freesat channels and if you nudge the dish to 19 degrees, you can receive the free Astra bouquets.
5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap but very good
I bought this as a replacement for my (ex) mother-in-law's broken TV who si literally dependant on having TV in the house all day and night. It is very light and I was concerned at the cheap price and light weight. It is however very good, easy to use and set up and I thought it would be light on features too but it wasn't. IN particular all she wants is to use it as a monitor for her BT TV box. This meant it was necessary to use the set top box remote control to operate the volume and power on the TV. TCL isn't a listed brand in the manual to set up the BT remote control so this concerned me. However, a quick check online found the ID code and it was quickly set up.The TV also goes through WIFI set up very easily and appears to be easy to use.Naturally, I was keen to leave as soon as possible so I didn't spend any time there once I had trained her in iperating the power button and that repeated on/off cycles were successful in order to avoid tech callouts. As such I don't have any further experience.I did get a call a few days later to say "It's not working". Before I could utter the words "put it back in the box and send it back with a message saying 'user incompetence - cannot operate power button'" I bit my lip and popped around to fin "it's not working" to mean she had picked upi the wrong remote control from the old TV which was now in the recycling centre.So all is good. No further calls after a month and beleive me, she would have called"
3.0 out of 5 stars Cheap tv, good for spare or kids rooms, but slow software and high light reflection
Bought recently, so first impressions. This tv is ideal for spare rooms, if you're looking for a main tv it would be worth saving money and buying a better known brand like Samsung or Sony.Pros:Simple to set up if you have Google account and android devices.Very light.Cheap tv.Good for spare rooms or kids bedroom.Casting is easy.Has the main streaming apps: prime, Netflix etc.Voice control is via Google home app, not the tv or remote.Connects easy to Google home.Cons.Screen brightness is not enough if it's positioned in sunny or high light areas, far too much screen reflection.Software is very slow at times.They dont have agreements in place for all the usual apps like bbc, itvx or ch4. Itvx app is there but won't work.Sounds is OK.Overall it's a cheap tv and ok for the money , but you get what you pay for so performance is going to reflect the price.
5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute bargain at £139.00.
A really fantastic value budget smart TV.Does everything required really well and more too.Support for all the major streaming platforms.Yes, this obviously does include 'BBC iPlayer'. Strangely some reviews incorrectly state that this is not the case.The Roku OS is very intuitive and easy to set up and use.To sum up.... An absolute bargain at £139.00.
