Well Worth It
I wanted to get a new TV, but was overwhelmed by the choices. In the end I opted for this TCL model.
The box was so light I wondered if they had forgot to put the TV in! Once you plug it in, it’s fairly simple to set up. You need WiFi for the catch up and Freeview Play. I ended up with more channels, as this is Freeview HD.
Picture quality is excellent. The menu takes a little navigating, and there are quite a few presets for different picture effects, ie gaming, films, music etc. Sound quality is relatively good quality with the built in speakers, but a sound bar does make a difference. It has the ARC/eARC output, as well as optical. There are only 2 HDMI ports, despite the pictures depicting 3, and only 1 USB.
The only bad point about the picture quality is with fast moving objects, which sometimes judder across the screen. There is an option to control this, but then the picture seems to flicker. Seems to be worse when watching older TV programmes, rather than things in HD. This is common with QLED screens apparently.
There are still quite a few features I haven’t yet tried. Freeview Play is handy, as are having the catch up apps built in. You can add more apps if you like, and there is a TCL menu option, which is a streaming service which looks quite interesting. You can also get the TCL app on your phone, which amongst other things acts as a remote control.
If you are looking to upgrade an older TV, this is well worth considering.
I am happy with the TV, and think it is worth the price.
