TCL 4-Series 43S446 43"
62 out of 100 low confidence 7 reviews
The TCL 4-Series Google TV receives mixed feedback. Many users praise its excellent value, good picture quality, and easy setup for the price, especially as a secondary TV or PC monitor. However, a significant number of verified reviews report severe reliability issues, including complete failure within 2-4 years due to T-con board problems, accompanied by poor customer service. The default interface is also criticized for being slow and ad-heavy, though this can be mitigated with third-party launchers.
