Customer Reviews
For the price, spectacularSteven
After looking at the current selection of budget brand TVs, I decided to go with something from TCL. I've used their computer monitors in the past and have trust for the brand. I considered the other obscure Chinese brands such as Seiki, Coby, etc. Even considered Insignia, but have been disappointed with build quality and style.Upon unboxing, I was impressed by the glass stand and the overall aesthetics of the TV. It's conservative looking, but definitely not cheap. Doesn't have that wavy, shiny black plastic bezel that most budget TVs tend to have.Picture quality is great, not a whole lot of adjustments, but not a whole lot need to be made in my opinion. It does have an MHL port, so if you have one of those Roku sticks, or some small device that just relies on an HDMI port to power it, this TV has it. Not a lot of TVs have that yet, much less at this price point.One thing I am disappointed about, although understandable, is the sound quality. Obviously something had to be sacrificed, but you can definitely still listen to them. There's just not a whole lot of range the speakers provide. They sound tinny, and sharp treble is abundant with little bass to speak of. The equalizer is bizarre as well, with adjustments labeled as frequencies, not your standard "Bass" "Mid" and "Treble".Small complaints aside, can't beat the price, built quality, or the picture quality. For a budget brand, I would say TCL would be your best bet.
Warning: misleading refresh rate, this is NOT a 120hz TVGregory
I'm a PC gamer and I am starting to migrate from 60fps to 120fps gaming, so I need a 120hz TV/monitor. In my search I found this TV here on Amazon at an incredible price and I purchased it at once, totally fooled by the "120Hz Clear Motion Index" thing, believing it was the true refresh rate of the TV.IT IS NOT. These greedy "big" companies are inflating this number in order to fool innocent people and sell more; SONY, Samsung, Toshiba, TCL, all of them are doing it, they are replacing the true refresh rate by these fake, misleading "Clear/Ultra" refresh rates, so a true 60hz TV gets "Clear Motion Indexed" using some tricky formula (something about the backlight during the processing) and then labeled as a "120hz", which of course is a nasty lie because the TV is actually 60hz. You, as an innocent buyer, will not notice it if you use your TV to watch TV or DVD/Blu Ray, as those are not streamed (yet) at 120fps, but at 30-60fps. The worst thing is that they are replacing the actual refresh rate with this inflated number on the specs and box of these products, on the webpages of the products and everywhere else.I didn't knew this at first when I purchased it, but the "Clear Motion Index" thing got me suspicious and I started to investigate, glad I did, because I would have wasted my money. As soon as I found out this lie I cancelled the order, and now I'm here to warn you: if the refresh rate in the specs of the TV says something like "Clear Rate", "Aqua Motion", "TruMotion" or some other similar techy phrase, then most likely it's not the actual frame rate of the TV but the inflated lie. Investigate before purchasing a TV, I learned my lesson.
Good for the priceEric
This is a solid tv, and for the price the picture is good. I mounted it on the wall, so the weight and thin profile is a huge plus. It has a good look to it as the border is very small and it has a clean look to it. I have used it quite a bit, and have had no problems so far. The sound complaints that others have mentioned are unwarranted, and if it exists then it must be specific to some units. The colors are very bright and vibrant, and that aspect makes up for a picture that is not as crisp as units that cost quite a bit more. I could easily see TCL increasing in price and popularity in the future. I know a decent amount about tvs having worked at best buy as a kid and developing interest from there. The reality is, a lot of tv companies use the same parts and in mass production all of the economic brands have some bad units, and unfortunately many of the high end ones are starting to have some issues as well. If you are on a budget I would pull the trigger on this brand. I was not sure what to expect for the price, but after having the tv for a few months it is definitely worth it.
Very good TV for the moneyMLO
Was looking for a 46" LED TV. Among the ones I saw and read about, two manufacturers out of China stood out, Hisense and TCL. Both of these are pretty big companies, actually make their own stuff, and make TV's for a lot of other companies. I liked what I saw so thought I'd give one of them a shot. Finding a TV from either of these manufacturers is not very easy, they are not really mainstream in the US (yet). Couldn't find a Hisense one readily available and only managed to find a TCL here at Amazon. This one had some good features, was very up to date modern looking with a really slim design. The picture quality is very good, menu has plenty of adjustments and navigating through it is easy and intuitive. Mostly I really like this TV but there are a couple of issues I had with it. First is the sound. I don't know what's up with a lot of manufacturers these days that don't seem to regard sound quality as very important. A lot of the TV's I've seen had what I would call poor sound quality. This one is no exception. It's tinny sounding and the adjustments do improve it but not as much as I'd like. I managed to get it acceptable but just barely. I guess they figure that everyone buying one of these is going to be hooking it up to a sound system (which I have so at least I have two options). The second one is this TV has a reflective screen. My last one didn't and I never saw any reflections while watching it but with this one I do. Not as bad as a glass screen but it's there. For me this is going to take a little getting used to (but not a deal breaker). Dunno if all bigger screen TV's (46" and up) have this reflective screen or not. My last 42" did not. From what I've seen, the price is very good and the looks are very good.Read more ›
