" ... I am so happy that Roku partnered with TCL for a TV. ... This was a better and more affordable option than buying a 32" TV and a roku separately. ... "
" ... Inbuilt app never slows the speed and the great design of the mini remote. ... "
" ... Apps are easy to use and download. ... "
" ... I've tried downloading a few free channels just to check them out and have found entertaining ways to pass the time. ... "
" ... Has a lot of functions that I have not figured out yet and i mostly use it for pandora, youtube, netflix and HBO. ... "
" ... The whole roku system works well for me. ... "
" ... Love my Roku TV!! ... "
" ... It's really convenient being able to link my Netflix, Amazon prime, and Google play accounts without needing a separate box. ... "

" ... Unfortunately, this TV has developed a WiFi problem and customer support has dragged down the experience. ... I don't envy anyone working support at a TV manufacturer who now has to start diagnosing WiFi connection issues. ... In July, I started having problems where the TV would lose the WiFi connection every day or two. ... I was routinely (and arbitrarily) told that I had a problem with my router/wifi/internet/speed and I would need to contact my internet provider to have my problem solved. ... I also point out that any sort of issue with my network would not explain why the TV is often unable to detect any WiFi connections in the neighborhood. ... "
" ... Would not connect or stay connected to the wi-fi and randomly shuts off. ... "
" ... The built-in WiFi is marginal. ... "
" ... Terrible product, will no longer detects any wifi networks and continuously power cycles. ... "
" ... Can't stay connected to Wifi. ... "
" ... After 1 1/2 years, the TCL TV is constantly disconnecting from our network, when there are no issues with my Wi-Fi network (all other devices work in the same area). ... "
" ... TV has serious issues connecting to WIFI. ... "

" ... Picture and sound quality is good. ... "
" ... One more input would have been nice and maybe another output of audio & video, but again for the price it's great. ... "
" ... Display is ok, speakers are better than some othet tvs in the same class. ... "
" ... Sound is decent but if you want higher quality you can pick up a cheap sound bar to go along with it. ... "
" ... Nice Picture and Sound quality. ... "
" ... While I believe the picture and sound are excellent for a TV of this price point, I dont think I should be experiencing this level of issues within the first few years of ownership let alone the first six months. ... "

" ... Remote doesn't have volume control ... "
" ... Only have had this tv for a few months and the sound is cutting out, it doesnt respond to the remote at times and randomly turns off! ... "
" ... If you have more than one running, there is no way to keep one remote from changing the other. ... "
" ... The tv shows well the only problem is that the roku remote does not work and the remote app is just as bad. ... "
" ... Also, you cannot turn the power to the TV off via the remote or manually if you turn off any of the incoming sources first (Direct TV, PS4, etc). ... "
" ... Not have to put it on cable with the roku remote, then get the cable remote to turn the channel. ... Xfiniti or verizon don't have a program for their remote control on roku, so I have to use two different remotes at all times. ... When I want netflix's or youtube, I have to use the roku remote to get the screen that you see on the picture, then pick the site. ... "
" ... Don't even want to think about what will happen if the remote gets lost. ... "

" ... Poorly made, drops signal 5-10 times a day, resulting in a ritual just to get signal back. ... "
" ... After 1 1/2 years, the TCL TV is constantly disconnecting from our network, when there are no issues with my Wi-Fi network (all other devices work in the same area). ... "

" ... When I received this tv the cable port was broken and I love Amazon because I called them and they sent out a new tv immediately. ... I them have to unplug then plug it back in to work. ... "
" ... I had called the company about it and they said as long as you unplug and plug back in and it works then it's not really broken. ... "
" ... Wireless only, no ethernet port. ... It'd also drop the HDMI signal from a computer after a couple hours of use. ... "
" ... It's a pretty good TV otherwise, but since it doesn't have an ethernet jack, having trouble with WiFi is basically a killer failure. ... "
" ... I did find out that I really don't need a "smart" TV, just one with an HDMI port. ... "
" ... For non-IT people, that means I literally unplugged the power cable and plugged it back in because it was ignoring everything I did. ... "
" ... I have no HDMI or USB items plugged in and I don't see where an SD card would be kept. ... "
" ... The TV literally just loses connection and has to be restarted or power cycled to work again. ... "
