Review on πŸ“Ί TCL 40S325 40-Inch 1080P Smart TV by Tim Airy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Light, bright, quality for the price.

I love this TV. Bought to replace burnt out insignia. My first surprise was how light the set weighed. Assembly was as simple as four Philips head screws for the legs of the TV stand, connecting and completing the Roku screen setup. Down to the last detail - the picture quality is crisp and bright. Playing video games is incredibly easy and the display connects to my PC with no hiccups. I spent the first three hours watching BSG clips in beautiful HD. You need to download the free YouTube app as the preinstalled YouTube app is for Pay TV services. Build quality seems solid, but I have a small defect in the LCD panel that I chose to ignore, like a flaw in a Persian rug. The sound quality isn't the best, you've got two speakers mounted under the display and they're not the strongest. However, connecting external speakers is very simple. Of course, being a Smart TV, WiFi is built in and works well. I had never heard of TCL before deciding to buy a new TV but the travel guide website recommended it. as best value for money. A little negative review on Amazon here, I've had a heck of a time trying to narrow down the purchase options via search. Luckily I had the TCL name to guide my purchase. If it weren't for a small glitch in the screen, I'd probably ignore the audio quality and give it top marks throughout.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky
