Light, Bright, Quality for the Price.
I love this TV.
I bought it to replace an old Insignia that burned out. My first surprise was how little the set weighed. Assembly was as simple as four Philips head screws for the stand feet below the set, plugging in, and completing the Roku onscreen setup.
On to the details - The Picture quality is crisp and vibrant. Playing video games is incredibly easy, and the display connected to my PC without any hiccups. I blew the first three hours just watching BSG clips in glorious HD. You do have to download the free youtube app, as the preloaded youtube app is for the pay TV service.
The build quality feels solid, but I have a minor defect inside the LCD panel that I've decided to look past like a flaw in a Persian rug. Sound quality isn't the best, you get two speakers mounted below the display panel, and they're not the most powerful. However, plugging in external speakers is extremely easy.
As this is a smart TV, Wifi is of course, built in, and performs well.
I'd never heard of TCL before deciding to purchase a new TV, but a guide website recommended it as a best value at price point. A minor negative review for amazon here, I had a heck of a time limiting buying options through search. Thankfully, I had the TCL name to guide my purchase.
If not for the minor screen defect, I'd probably have ignored the sound quality and rated this full stars across the board.
