Bought about 2 weeks ago because an old 720p LG 32-inch in the living room broke down. From the time I’ve used it, I can say I have a fairly complete opinion! First of all, the TV is 100% VFM! Very good viewing angles! Luckily I have it at a relatively large distance, because at close range 1080p on a 32-inch is a bit blurry! As for the panel, I set dynamic HDR with color saturation changed from 60 to 50 because the colors were excessively intense, especially the greens and the white-yellow tones, and that was the problem that bothered me from the start in the picture and I couldn’t figure out what it was! Now the speakers are fine, nothing extreme, fine but clear! It also has a function on TCL called Backdrop, which you basically disable because if you’re on YouTube, for example, after 5 minutes it automatically exits YouTube and throws you to an energy-saving type screen. I’ll probably come back soon for anything else that comes up!
P.S. The remote is very good, although it is one of the lightest remotes I’ve ever held in my life; the only thing that bothered me is that the volume mute button is at the top left, whereas for convenience it should be roughly in the center... Also, the TV is very light, but that doesn’t mean the build quality is bad!
On the negative side, I’d only put that it sometimes gets a few minor freezes, as well as the fact that its menu is a bit strange! As for some weird sound the TV makes that was mentioned in a review, that’s not true, so that specific unit was probably defective!
1/10/2025 about 15 days later I come to mention some strange things I noticed, not particularly negative but they should be mentioned
1. If you connect speakers to the TV while it is off, sometimes it makes some strange sounds, i.e. a beep and then after 10 seconds another beep, like an electrical sound, quite loud, and in between the TV loses its connection to the power because the white light turns off (ALL OF THIS WHILE IT IS OFF)
This is probably because the connection is via a 3.5mm jack, i.e. unplugging and plugging the connector back in with a few attempts will fix it!
2. The TV is not detected at all from the phone in the YouTube app; generally it will very rarely show up, so the connection can be made via a YouTube code, and not only that, many times the videos you put on through the phone will either not play on the TV at all or you have to wait forever...
3. TVs of this type absolutely need to be completely disconnected from the power to clear up!
For example, my CosmoteTV got stuck and no matter how many times I turned the TV off, the app wouldn’t unfreeze unless I unplugged the TV completely for a few seconds. There is also a function somewhere in the settings that lets you restart it, so someone can play around with that!
4. In movie playback, when you press the arrow to fast-forward the movie, it is generally slow...
5. The TV, in order to turn on after it has been disconnected/reconnected to power or via restart, needs more than 1 minute to turn on and be usable without lag at the beginning!
6. It does not recognize AVI files
.....
An important note after quite some time... because I was watching some livestreams that were quite dim, another problematic setting besides the color saturation the TV has by default is the black level, which is set to 50; this is quite high (IN SOME CASES), so its value should ideally be 47-48 max. I personally often have it at 45, which must be changed in every picture profile you use from the brightness profile!
And one more thing: faces in YouTube videos (not through channels) will look quite faded; this is because this TV does not have the best ability to process YouTube videos, so the solution is as follows:
1. Color saturation 40-45
2. Noise reduction function at max!
3. Dynamic contrast low or high depending on the content being shown!
+ Color temperature +5 (max) (if you like)
That’s it!
