Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 163 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Consumers frequently complained about extremely slow menus, laggy interfaces, and unresponsive remote controls that made daily navigation very frustrating. People also experienced severe hardware failures, such as unexpected screen breakdowns, audio problems, and poor durability over time. Additionally, buyers struggled with unhelpful customer service and extremely complicated warranty processes when seeking device repairs. However, some customers also noted that the picture quality is actually very good once properly adjusted. A few other people also felt that the screens are crystal clear and liked the overall display output.

Awful TV

Awful TV, it’s okay for a while then decides to turn it self off, won’t turn on. I have reset to factory settings every other week. I have a friend who bought the same model and they’ve had the same problem. Definitely would not recommend.

Worst tv I have ever brought

Worst tv I have ever brought, including second hand broken ones.
It turns off randomly, crashes the apps if they ever do eventually start working (don't know, was never able to get far enough to log on), it can't recognize GAMING CONSOLES or let them automatically change to it's hdmi station without doing it manually and the in-built dvd player? It won't play anything in our region.
Which is when it's not forcing you to get up, unplug then replug it in JUST to turn it on.
If you're thinking about buying a TCL tv, just burn your money. You'll at least get warmth out of it for a few seconds, which is more than you'll ever get from their junk tv's

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS…

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS MANUFACTURER!! I bought a TCL 55 inch tv last September from an authorized Amazon reseller. Last month (yes, less than a year) the screen started flashing and showing double images. I reached out to TCL. I spent about half an hour on the phone troubleshooting with a technician. He determined that I need to send the tv back to them to address, per the warranty. They requested a copy of my receipt and a video clip or photos of the problem. I sent the requested information. TCL’s response? They don’t consider the seller to be “Amazon”. That’s a lame excuse to get out of covering their shoddy product. I blame myself for not reading their reviews before purchasing…I definitely would have purchased another brand if I had.

Extremely Disappointed with TCL Service

Extremely Disappointed with TCL Service
I purchased a TCL TV in December 2023 through Amazon, expecting good performance and reliable customer support. Unfortunately, the product has developed issues, and my experience with TCL's after-sales service has been extremely disappointing.

I lodged a service complaint seven days ago using the official TCL app. Despite multiple chats and repeated assurances from their customer service representatives, no technician has visited or even called me. I have all chat records as proof. Every time I follow up, I only receive generic promises with no real action.

As a customer, I feel completely let down. TCL’s service is not only slow but also unresponsive. Based on my experience, I strongly advise others to reconsider purchasing TCL products. If you ever face any technical issue, be prepared for poor customer support and long delays. I regret buying this TV and would not recommend TCL to anyone.

Absolute POS!!

Absolute POS!!! We bought an 85 inch hoping for a good relaxing time watching Television. At first it kept resetting and going back to factory reset. Then you turn on the Television now and before it goes into reset mode it comes with a pink screen and and says TCL ROKU AND GOES OFF BY ITSELF WITH NO WAY OF PROCEEEDING WITH THE RESET. The extended warranty has had us doing everything and we have gotten nowhere so far so what’s the use. I have my papers ready to submit a claim through small claims court but I’m waiting for them give us the latest decision. We have been dealing with them over a week and we have dodge everything they have asked of us and we still have a pile of junk. We waited for over 45 days for the special mounting bracket to come in that we wanted which was also ordered from Walmart at the same time the TV was ordered and they denied the refund because it was after 30 days and said it would have to be turned over the Extended Warranty. It was their fault because they drug their feet on the bracket. Everytime we send them what they ask for they always come back with something else they need. We need help.

Absolute load of rubbish

Absolute load of rubbish. Turns itself off when ever it wants, won't retune and install updates, takes a while just to change channel and constantly disconnects from wi fi. The biggest waste of money ever

Ill never buy TCL again!

Interface is too confusing. Too many log in issues and then the app wors differently giving different options. It freezes, lags and take a long time to load aps. This tv disconnects from the HBO app after a brief pause and logs me out so I have to restart the tv, then log back in and if lucky - I get to watch in 5 mins - if not Ill have to repeat all over again. This happens at least three times daily. My tv provider here had one and it took her months to understand how to gets apps installed because of errors msgs and then one is stuck trying it another way. Wish I had not bought this. I may retire this and buy a good tv but NEVER TCL again.

A turd in disguise as a TV

I would rather squash my plumbs in a vice every day then ever own another TCL TV, what a bit of absolute rubbish technology. It resets itself when your trying to load an app, it crashes, the remote is rubbish, it drops off the wifi and ethernet all the time. You cant connect to the wifi whilst plugged into the ethernet go figure that.... Absolutely a big piece of turd in a black box never again

Don't buy a tcl tv

Don't buy a tcl tv. I have this tv 10 months & have had ALOT of issues with the tv connecting to wifi, sometimes the channels work sometimes they don't. I bought an antenna & It does the same thing. When you call tcl support they are dumb, they don't know how to fix they're own tv. Remember when they use to say "don't you buy no ugly truck"....well "don't you buy a tcl"🤣

I am extremely dissatisfied with the…

I am extremely dissatisfied with the after-sales service provided by TCL. Despite purchasing a TCL TV eight months ago, I began experiencing issues shortly after. A persistent black spot appears on various sides of the screen. A technician visited once and provided an explanation that was unacceptable. According to him, QLED TVs have high voltages, which attract dust towards the panel. He took a video and a picture of the screen, shared them with the company, and assured me that the TV would be replaced under warranty. However, after no response from the company, I called their toll-free number to inquire about the status of my request ID. The support team informed me that my ticket had been closed due to the issue not being covered under warranty. When I asked the support team to clarify where this clause was mentioned in the warranty card, they instructed me to email and provide evidence. I sent the email on April 28, and since then, there have been three email exchanges. I have shared videos, photos, and a bill copy via email and WhatsApp, but no further support has been provided despite multiple follow-ups. This level of after-sales support is unacceptable from a brand that claims to offer reliable products and good service. I hope this post gets some attention, and they finally take action. ⸻ Ugh, that sounds super frustrating—3 months is way too long to wait, especially after spending good money on a new TV.
