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.
