Great purchase!
I recently purchased the TCL 55" Class F35-Series 4K UHD HDR LED Smart Fire TV, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. The picture quality is amazing for the price, the 4K resolution is clear and vibrant. The HDR really enhances the colors, making everything look more dynamic. Setup was pretty straightforward too, especially with the Fire TV OS built in – I had all my streaming apps up and running within minutes. The remote is simple to use, with voice control that actually works better than I expected. However, there are a few small downsides. First, the sound quality isn’t the best. I had to connect a soundbar to get a fuller, richer audio experience. Also, the TV’s interface can sometimes feel a bit sluggish when switching between apps or scrolling through menus. Nothing major, but it's noticeable when you're used to a faster system. Overall, this TCL TV offers excellent value for the price and delivers a solid 4K experience. Highly recommend it for anyone on a budget but still wanting a quality smart TV.

Great Value for the Price
I’ve had the TCL F35-Series 55" Fire TV for a couple of weeks now, and it’s a solid budget-friendly option for anyone looking to upgrade to 4K. The picture quality is crisp and vibrant, especially with HDR content, making movies and shows look great. Fire TV integration is a plus, with quick access to apps like Netflix and Prime Video, though the interface can lag slightly when switching between apps. The sound quality is decent for casual viewing, but I’d recommend adding a soundbar for a better experience. For the price, it delivers excellent value—great for streaming, casual gaming, or as a secondary TV. If you’re on a budget and want reliable performance without breaking the bank, this TCL model is a fantastic choice.

Excellent Picture and Res (Add speakers!)
I decided on this TV after user reviews warned: TCL TVs last years or weeks, no in between. For $233, including the 2-yr protection in case I got a 2-wk lemon, this is one of the best valued TVs on the market. Even through the holiday sales, the price was the most competitive. The picture is extremely clear even when viewing the picture from the sides (see images). Connecting to user accounts and creating admins was also a breeze. iOS, Win10, Win11, and ChromiumOS had no issue connecting; neither did the game consoles. This TV is also ideal for folks who live upstairs or alone. It is ridiculously light to carry even for short petite people (I'm 8 in. taller than it). The only quality-check so far on the TCL 55" is the sound. The audio is C-/C compared to the rest of the product. I got a $27 Insignia sound bar from the Best Buy outlet that has made a world of difference on the sound. Everything else about the product is 5 out of 5. Excellent value for an excellent product.
