Additionally, the remote control receives negative feedback, with customers reporting that it totally sucks and has very little features.

Small bezels, great picture/colors, good sound.
I needed a replacement for my old tcl roku I bought in 2019, which I primarily use as a second screen for my laptop/ watch movies or tv shows when going to bed. My first purchase was the vizio 32 inch tv. Immediately had issues with it refusing to get past the activation screen even though I activated it. Figured Id do it later and connected it to my monitor. My god it looked horrible. The letters on my notepad had such bad ghosting that my eyes actually hurt. My live wallpaper looked like a mess. I cant believe that vizio would put out a product that bad. Mustve been defective, but didnt want to risk it. So i returned and decided, might as well go with what I know. So I bought this tv which is a literal upgrade to my old one.Positives:The picture is stunning. Very bright, color accurate.No ghosting when connected to my laptop.Very responsive, no stutteringSmall bezels freed up space on my deskSound is goodNegatives:Same old remote. Although the vizio’s picture was atrocious, i really liked the remote. It was bigger and felt more premium than the tclsThe panel (subjective). While standing up (keep in mind I was right next to the tv looking down on it), I noticed my live wallpaper was blown out. After conversing with chatgpt (the thought of explaining this to my 18 year old self always cracks me up), I learned that this tv uses a VA panel, which limits viewing angles. My old 2019 model didnt have this issue, as it used an ips panel. Now it was nowhere near as bad, actually barely noticeable when watching netflix, but absurdly noticeable on my wallpaper. On the other hand, with the va you get better contrast and deeper blacks. So personal preference. I included pictures to show how bad it affected my wallpaper, and how little it affected a tv show.For $150, its 100% worth it. And if you’re in the same boat as I was deciding between this and the vizio, get the tcl. Youll thank me later.

Affordable fun
My tv just stopped…black screen right in the middle of the news. The price was great on this one and it was bigger than the one I was replacing. Brilliant picture, light weight, great sound, easy remote…love it!

Love this TV!
Love this TV! My previous Smart TV used to drop the WiFi connection all the time, but this connects rapidly and remains connected. This television makes a great bedroom unit. I highly recommend it!

Excellent Picture & Smart Features for the Price
The TCL 40” S3 Smart TV is a fantastic value! The 1080p resolution looks crisp and clear, and the built-in smart features make it easy to stream Netflix, YouTube, and more without needing extra devices. It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and perfect for bedrooms, dorms, or smaller living rooms. Great sound and smooth performance for a budget-friendly price!

Easy to set up and use
This is a great TV for the price. I have used a Roku for years so it was an easy transition to a smart TV.
