TCL Q Class 43Q651GKIT1 43"
The TCL TV receives mixed feedback from verified buyers. While some praise its picture and sound quality, customer service, and value during sales, others report a damaged screen on arrival and a frustrating remote without number keys or backlight. A critical issue is the claim that the advertised 144Hz refresh rate is actually 60Hz, which significantly impacts trust.

- Easy to operate
- Good value during sales
Cons
- Advertised 144Hz is actually 60Hz
- Damaged screen on arrival
