TCL 40D100 40-Inch 1080p LED TV (2017 Model)

Comment

Ill be honest, Im not up on all the latest technology, nor am I terribly picky about the number or pixels or whatever a TV has. But I will say that, for the average person on a modest budget, this is an excellent choice. Ive had the TV for just over a month, watched the Super Bowl, the Olympics, and shows and movies both new and old, and Ive been pleased with the quality of them all. One of my cats also now watches TV regularly, which she never did before, so I think that must speak to the clarity of the picture at least somewhat, right? The two drawbacks - a less than adequate speaker, and no headphone jack to plug in the speakers I used with my old TV. I bought an adapter which worked, but youre not able to control the volume via the TV remote while using the adapter. So, I will now have to get new speakers that come with a remote, or continue with the less than adequate sound.

This is a fine TV. Read the other reviews for particulars. If that annoying light at the bottom bothers you, go to Settings on the menu, scroll down to LED indicator light and select OFF. Youre welcome!

I was not expecting much from this TV, but I did have high hopes. I wanted a ~50" dumb TV that looked HD, didnt have muddy blacks, and was under $300; that is exactly what I got. I could not be happier with this TV. It is much clearer than I expected with both video and audio playback. I have paired this with my Fire TV and the Sideclick with no issues, as expected. It is also very thin and light, which is important for mounting such a large TV. My only complaint is that the power cord is a bit short, but it is generic and replaceable so Ill just buy a longer one. If you are thinking of getting this TV but are dissuaded like I was by the handful of negative reviews, just get this TV. Those people are either complaining about something that isnt the fault of the product, or complaining about something small and fixable if you just do some reading.

Its an okay tv for the price. Hard to get the contrast and saturation right. Either its too dark or too bright. Dull or too colorful. The speaker are surprisingly good. Could I done it again I wouldve preferred to go with the 4k model but it was out of stock when I ordered. Ill leave the picture settings I felt looked best below. Picture Mode: User Brightness: 55 Contrast: 40 Saturation: 60 Sharpness: 25 Color mode: Warm Backlight: 100 Dynamic Backlight: Off Advanced: Zoom Mode 16:9 3DNR Off

Perfectly adequate simple TV. Does exactly what I need. It does have buttons on it so you dont need to use a remote. They are found underneath the logo in the bottom front of the TV. Works just fine.

Ordered this for outside use, so I didnt want to pay much. I am pleasantly surprised by the picture quality and overall performance of this TV. Works almost as good as a TV 4X as expensive.

Solid TV, the picture is great for a 720p TV, sound is completely fine (though I generally don’t turn the TV up very loud).

Works for my needs. I use it as a computer monitor in my office. It is locked at 60hz refresh rate, so it is not your elite enthusiast gaming monitor. I dont do a lot of gaming on it, so I dont have any concerns about screen lag. No signs of motion blurring in what I do use. 1920*1080 looks just fine with the work content (programming, editing) that I do in it. YouTube and Netflix (and yes, Amazon too) content work just fine on it. If you are look for a lower cost non-smart TV, then this is a good choice. I never use the tuner in it, so no idea how capable that part is. Note: there is a power light on the bottom of the screen bezel in the center. It is on only when the screen is powered off. When you turn on the TV, the light goes off so it doesnt distract from what you are watching. Some might call it theater mode style lighting.

Best tv. Ive had it since 2014, currently its 2018. It works amazing, I pair it with the Amazon Fire Stick, which alows me to have as many channels as I want as well as the essential Netflix. It is a little weak in its frame but thats why I mounted it to begin with besides the fact it looks modern and classy. Mounting it keeps it away from childrens hands and the possibility of toppling over. I recommend mounting it. Ive never had an issue in the 4 years Ive had it. The wifi and bluetooth operate at %100.

Great TV with great sound and visual quality. Of course, it wont be 4k resolution, but this is a solid choice for individuals who just want a reliable TV with clear visuals and sound. Im not a technology snob, but Id definitely complain about quality if Id had an issue. Good size for a college dorm. Easy setup and easy to connect HDMI. Fairly light and was able to carry on my own. Only complaint is that the feet are a little hard to attach to the bottom of the screen. I was afraid to screw the feet in too tight because I wouldnt be able to unscrew them when I had to re-box the device when I moved out of my dorm. As other reviewers have been saying, the light at the bottom of the screen to indicate on/off is a little obnoxious at night if its in your bedroom; however, its an easy fix just to tape over it with painters tape or something similar. Definitely dont lose the remote since there arent many buttons on the device itself.
