TCL 40-Inch Class S3 1080p LED Smart TV with Roku TV (40S350R, 2023 Model), Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit Compatibility, Streaming FHD Television,Black

I needed a replacement for my old tcl roku I bought in 2019, which I primarily use as a second screen for my laptop/ watch movies or tv shows when going to bed. My first purchase was the vizio 32 inch tv. Immediately had issues with it refusing to get past the activation screen even though I activated it. Figured Id do it later and connected it to my monitor. My god it looked horrible. The letters on my notepad had such bad ghosting that my eyes actually hurt. My live wallpaper looked like a mess. I cant believe that vizio would put out a product that bad. Mustve been defective, but didnt want to risk it. So i returned and decided, might as well go with what I know. So I bought this tv which is a literal upgrade to my old one. Positives: The picture is stunning. Very bright, color accurate. No ghosting when connected to my laptop. Very responsive, no stuttering Small bezels freed up space on my desk Sound is good Negatives: Same old remote. Although the vizio's picture was atrocious, i really liked the remote. It was bigger and felt more premium than the tcls The panel (subjective). While standing up (keep in mind I was right next to the tv looking down on it), I noticed my live wallpaper was blown out. After conversing with chatgpt (the thought of explaining this to my 18 year old self always cracks me up), I learned that this tv uses a VA panel, which limits viewing angles. My old 2019 model didnt have this issue, as it used an ips panel. Now it was nowhere near as bad, actually barely noticeable when watching netflix, but absurdly noticeable on my wallpaper. On the other hand, with the va you get better contrast and deeper blacks. So personal preference. I included pictures to show how bad it affected my wallpaper, and how little it affected a tv show. For $150, its 100% worth it. And if you're in the same boat as I was deciding between this and the vizio, get the tcl. Youll thank me later.

The picture is crystal clear and vibrant. Set up is easy. It's the perfect size for the bedroom. Thank you to another reviewer who intructed us that we can turn off the standby LED light by going to settings>system>power>standby LED. The feet were a little bit of a pain for me to get on, but not enough for me to deduct a star. The price beats all others I was considering. You can rename the HDMI ports like I did when I connected my DVD player. I have not bought a sound bar yet as recommended on the manual, but it is nice to know which port to use for it and what is compatible. I connected my digital antenna to the cable/antenna port and local stations automatically come up first in the guide on Live TV, then many streaming channels are listed, although a little different than my Samsung smart TV in the living room. The mute and volume buttons are convenient on the side of the remote, but I will use none of the 4 preset app buttons on the bottom. It would be nice if you could program these. I did notice that I cannot submit feedback via the * button like I could on my stick about apps that fail to load. Some might miss the numbers on a regular remote to quickly go to a local channel, but you can favorite ♡ channels. I see no power button on the TV itself. I did buy a riser that works well: LOTEYIKE Dual Monitor Stand for 2 Monitors, Large TV Riser. Parental controls are an option. Also, under privacy > advertising, you can personalize ads to see fewer ads about many topics that you can check off like mature content, violence, etc. You can put in your zipcode for local recommendations. There are power and sleep timer options. I did have to rearrange my Roku apps in my preferred grouping that I had installed on my previous Roku stick. For those not familiar with Roku: live TV with free streaming channels, videos apps, educational, movies, relaxing nature, music, health, self-help, and bible stuff (reading, teaching, prophecy, relaxing videos and true science). I don't need cable with all the cool stuff on Roku. This has the same wallpapers and themes as the stick. You can even set the screensaver to a fireplace, nature, something colorful, or a beautiful, live aquarium. Complaint: Roku live channels no longer have True History. So, for those of us wanting to learn about the Black Death, the plague of the Middle Ages or other fascinating history, we must install the Xumo app on Roku and go there to find it.

I needed a TV to replace an old bulky 2008 Vizio same size. I love this new TV. I am a Roku user, so this set works for me. It is light, easy to use. The colors are bright, clear, and the sound is perfect. The price was a steal! Delivery was the best. No damages, no dings in the box. It was double-boxed. I would recommend for a living room or large room.

Great tv. Several weeks after purchase, went back and set up live TV with an antenna. Channel guide works but has a major flaw. TCL channel guide defaults to showing crime shows first. Have to scroll down through a very large number of channels in the genre to watch something else. There needs to be a way for the channel guide show the channels in channel number order instead of a genre. Also impossible to contact customer support and talk to a human being to make this suggestion for a future release of the channel guide software.

I love my TCL Roku TV. It is great quality has the Roku operating system and was at an awesome price.

Nice Smart TV. At 40", it's nice for a mid sized master bedroom. Great sound without the need for amplification, unless you're into it. Clear picture that has not needed adjustment and all of your standard Smart TV features. I like that you can set the channel it starts with. Mine powers up to the HDMI input because I like to start with cable. But you can set it to start were you like. Joins 2 other TCLs in the house.

Good tv. Easy to install. Good picture. Great price.

I already owned the 50" version of this so pretty much knew what to expect. I will say this one struck me as feeling "cheap" by comparison. I think my 50" is thinner than this. 3.1" is more than you would think, barely thin enough to wall mount. No "find remote" feature, either. Super lightweight, which lends to that cheap feeling. But, the picture quality is great and the Roku interface is very responsive. The speakers soind really good for the size, too. You can also set to power on at one of the HDMI inputs instead of the smart TV interface if you prefer. The remote has to be pointed almost directly at the sensor is probably my worst complaint. All in all though a good value for the money. Small TVs are getting harder to find.

Fue un regalo para mi esposo, la utiliza para jugar videojuegos y funciona perfecto, buena calidad de imagen y sonido
