What Buyers Say

TCL S-Class S4 64.5"

55 out of 100 high confidence 199 reviews

The TCL 65" Google TV elicits strongly divided opinions. Many users praise its excellent picture quality, vibrant colors, and great value for the price. However, a very common and severe complaint involves the smart TV software: the Google TV interface is widely described as painfully slow, laggy, and prone to freezing or crashing. Several reviews also report hardware issues like backlight bleeding, pixelation, and premature failure within a couple of years, leading some to call it a "disposable" TV.

Pros
  • Excellent picture quality
  • Vibrant and sharp colors
  • Great value for the price
  • Good screen size
  • Easy to mount and set up
Cons
  • Painfully slow Google TV interface
  • Frequent freezing and crashing
  • Unresponsive or laggy remote
  • Software glitches and bugs
  • Premature hardware failure within 2 years
