What Buyers Say

TCL Q3K Series 32Q3K 31.5"

76 out of 100 medium confidence 14 reviews

The TCL 32" Q3K is a well-regarded budget QLED TV praised for its 1080p resolution and excellent picture quality at a low price point. Users appreciate the Google TV OS and the ability to turn off the standby LED, though some find the default legs too wide and the built-in audio subpar. Overall, it's seen as a great value for a small bedroom or kitchen TV, but the bright bezel light and mediocre sound are common frustrations.

  • 1080p QLED resolution
  • Great value for the price
  • Google TV OS
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Bright bezel light (can be turned off)

Roku Pro Series 75R8C5 75"

88 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews

This Roku TV earns high praise for its stunning picture quality, vibrant colors, and excellent brightness, especially in the 2025 model. Users love the intuitive Roku interface and the innovative Pro Remote with backlit buttons and no batteries. While the built-in speakers are surprisingly good for most, one reviewer found them underwhelming and prefers a soundbar. A minor early issue with local dimming zones resolved itself, and the TV is considered a great value, particularly at sale prices.

Pros
  • Stunning picture quality
  • Vibrant colors and brightness
  • Intuitive Roku interface
  • Innovative Pro Remote with backlit buttons
  • No batteries needed for remote
Cons
  • Built-in speakers not immersive for some
  • Must disable TV speakers for soundbar use
  • Initial local dimming zone issue
  • Delivery service issues with free setup
