From the picture, ok, nothing special. But as a smart TV, it's laughable... it takes 3 minutes to turn on and doesn't work. For example, Disney stops and lags terribly. It's not a network speed issue but a device issue. Don't expect to watch movies without an external media player. For TV channels, it's ok... even there, when you press to increase the volume, it takes 3-4 seconds to show the bar

Very good television. Nice colors. However, the sound is somewhat fake, without bass. It is an Android TV so you can download various apps. Cosmote TV, which I tried, works just fine. In its menu and in the Android TV menu, sometimes there are small freezes. I think it's because of the 1GB RAM. But it doesn't bother me. When playing HDR Video on YouTube, it has a very good picture. The built-in player did not recognize some video files (mkv and avi). I downloaded Kodi as a player and now everything plays. I deduct one star because of an annoying whistling sound when it is in standby mode at the back of the TV... Probably from the power supply. I will talk to the service for repair or replacement. I will update. In the end, the TV was replaced with a new one which works normally

It does not give the option for automatic shutdown in 1 hour, so if someone falls asleep the TV will turn off after 3-4 hours. Otherwise, you have to set the sleep timer each time, which is not as convenient a setting as automatic shutdown.

I don't know what else you expect from a TV! Perfect picture and nice sound! Value for money! P.S. There is no noise at all when it is on stand by!

This review is about the size: 32 "

I regret the purchase! Its picture is terrible! I would say it's somewhat dark and with somewhat faded colors. Whatever I changed in the settings, nothing! It didn't improve the result! It has to do with the fact that it's QLED! I don't know because I don't have experience with QLED panels but it's a dud! As for the sound, nothing special for 32 inches. As for the buzzing sound that others hear from the power supply, I don't hear it! Stay away!!!! You read QLED and say wow it will be great! but nope…

This review is about the size: 32 "

Very nice colors, HDR on YouTube is nice, the speakers are decent, maybe if they had a bit more bass it would be perfect, but otherwise the sound is very clear. The only possible negative is if you want to play PS, there is a black shadow that follows when something moves very fast, you won't notice a difference in movies or TV, but in FIFA it was a bit noticeable, but you get used to it.

I returned it because it was showing vertical shadows/lines. Picture - average, colors average (the 2010 LG I have is a thousand times better in colors, clarity, contrast). Sound - average. The faint noise coming from the power supply is annoying.

The TV was bought for the country house and specifically for my elderly mother. I can say that it has nice colors, an easy-to-use remote control. That is, like the old ones, which for older people is EXACTLY what you need! Lightweight, easy to program. I have nothing else to say, after less than a month of use! IF IT DEVELOPS ANY PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE, I will deal with it again! In conclusion, for its price, everything is fine!!

Very good TV with real 1080 and QLED panel technology that offers a wider color spectrum and higher maximum brightness compared to LED and OLED. It only falls short compared to OLED in black performance, but that doesn't bother me as it is a bedroom TV.
Fast response in apps and supports everything as it is Android (Netflix, Youtube, DisneyPlus, Apple TV, Cosmote TV, Prime Video, Eon, Ant1+, Ertflix, Spotify)
Its sound is very good for its size and easily fills a 15-20sqm room without needing to go above 40 in volume to hear.

This review is about the size: 32 "

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!

Good choice for everyday use, streaming, TV and good value for money/features for its category. After the update everything works fine. Very good choice for use in a small space, room, office as a secondary TV. On the downside, android 11.

Very nice colors, HDR on YouTube is nice, the speakers are decent, maybe if they had a bit more bass it would be perfect, but otherwise the sound is very clear. The only possible negative is if you want to play PS, there is a black shadow that follows when something moves very fast, you won't notice a difference in movies or TV, but in FIFA it was a bit noticeable, but you get used to it.

I returned it because it was showing vertical shadows/lines. Picture - average, colors average (the 2010 LG I have is a thousand times better in colors, clarity, contrast). Sound - average. The faint noise coming from the power supply is annoying.

The TV was bought for the country house and specifically for my elderly mother. I can say that it has nice colors, an easy-to-use remote control. That is, like the old ones, which for older people is EXACTLY what you need! Lightweight, easy to program. I have nothing else to say, after less than a month of use! IF IT DEVELOPS ANY PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE, I will deal with it again! In conclusion, for its price, everything is fine!!

Very good TV with real 1080 and QLED panel technology that offers a wider color spectrum and higher maximum brightness compared to LED and OLED. It only falls short compared to OLED in black performance, but that doesn't bother me as it is a bedroom TV.
Fast response in apps and supports everything as it is Android (Netflix, Youtube, DisneyPlus, Apple TV, Cosmote TV, Prime Video, Eon, Ant1+, Ertflix, Spotify)
Its sound is very good for its size and easily fills a 15-20sqm room without needing to go above 40 in volume to hear.

This review is about the size: 32 "

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!

For its price, it's the best you can get. HDR, QLED, Full HD, gaming Mode. I have it in the bedroom and I am very satisfied.

From the picture, ok, nothing special. But as a smart TV, it's laughable... it takes 3 minutes to turn on and doesn't work. For example, Disney stops and lags terribly. It's not a network speed issue but a device issue. Don't expect to watch movies without an external media player. For TV channels, it's ok... even there, when you press to increase the volume, it takes 3-4 seconds to show the bar
