   Customer Review – August 23, 2025

   Extremely well packaged. After a few picture and sound tweaks this is a great set for the value!
   This was hands down one of the best packaged TV’s I’ve ever purchased, even outdoing the much more expensive OLED’s I’ve purchased.Setup was simple, it’s zippy, not on the level of a roku ultra but as good as the sticks. You probably want to tweak the picture settings a little and maybe even sound. Easy to do, when watching something hit the star button on the remote to get a sub menu. Once I tweaked in there the picture is great.It will reflect light so no bright lights in front or you may get a reflection. I have no issues with viewing angles. This is wall mounted in a mancave shed we’re building out, and I couldn’t be happier for the price.

   Good TV, Minor Complaints
   Have had this for 2 weeks now. The tv itself is great. Surprisingly good sound, the frame takes up no additional space, and the picture is crisp and bright. Set up was a breeze. Since the TV is the meat, this is why it’s getting 4 stars.I’m knocking one star off because:I’m not a fan of the 2 footed stands – they take too much space – so I had to buy a separate center footed mount myself, allowing me to set it up higher on the entertainment unit (I can’t do wall mounting where I am)The Remote. Sigh. My biggest complaint. While simple and streamlined like all ROKU remotes, it lacks voice control (which is going backwards technology-wise from previous ROKU remotes I’ve had), and 3/4 of the shortcut buttons are premium channels I don’t/wont buy. Give me Netflix and Hulu, Sling, Disney+, or a way to program those buttons myself to my Top 4 channels! Also, let’s get back to having backlit remotes, so we can work them in the dark a little easier. Remotes should have sleep-timer buttons too!

   Great TV for a great price
   I’m not by any means a TV fanatic where I need the best of the best technology so just having a TV that looks good and functions well is good enough for me. I bought the equivalent of this TV like 6 years ago but it ended up getting damaged in the move so this is the replacement. The other one lasted a long time without any complaint and I’m sure it would have lasted much longer if not for the move damage. I also have this same brand in a 55 inch going on 7 years. Highly recommend this TV for a good quality picture, easy functionality with roku, and a fair price. I also noticed this TV weighs about half what my old ones of the same size was, so they definitely made some improvements in that time.

   So far, love it (compared to another TV that has FireTv instead of RokuTv interface
   So far I just love it. I bought this after returning a Hisense equipped with Fire TV interface. I only stream all my shows and especially news, and I already HAD a ROKU module (Ultra LT) as my interface of choice on my main TV in the living room.THIS Tv – I bought to replace the “other” one (a smaller 43 inch with the credentials above).This TCL WITH ROKU built in was chosen because there was no sleek way to attach another ROKU device. So I got a tv with ROKU built in. But the newer one (the other one I only had for about 2 months-luckily still within the 90-day return window of “a buyer’s club” that I shop at every week for 25 years) gets the internet stream NOT via ethernet like my living room tv, straight from the nearby wifi router, but via wireless wifi. STILL works great.So far. We shall see. But it’s terrific. The other interface that the returned 43 inch had was horrible; never holding our place even if paused for less than 5 minutes, and when I shut power button “off” it would still play ads. Not to mention how I would try to access my streaming program (after a short pause) but only get a black screen but with sound. I would have to go through several hoops to get back. Not with Roku. No ever – not even on this with it built in.Also, the main thing that you do not want with streaming favorite channels: the returned 43 inch- it would NEVER keep your place in “history” either on YouTube or Rumble etc… you know … the way it always is… no matter what device.Nothing against Hisense- just to be clear it is a great tv mechanically and all that. But the interface (it was “fire tv”)- it left a LOT to be desired which is why it went back (Ughhhh off the wall mount, I re-packed it all perfectly with care and completeness… you know the deal)I love my Amazon Fire tablet however so I still don’t know why the TV with a similar interface name was so different. Oh well I am too busy right now enjoying THIS new Roku-built in TCL. I will research this however when I get the chance; just wanted to share my experience. Hope it can help somebody.

   A great TV for the Value
   Got this TV for my mom, she has been loving it. the 50 inch was the perfect size for a medium sized bedroom like hers. Color and picture is great for the price of this TV. It is plenty bright, the smart features are nice to have, the OS doesn’t seem to be laggy or anything. I can’t comment too much on the OS since it is barely used mostly. It links great to the Alexa to turn on and off the TV with.
