TCL 32-inch 1080p Roku Smart LED TV – 32S327, 2019 Model

I’m a 63 year old lady who is 100% oxygen dependent. I had this 49 inch smart TV up and running on my mantle within 25 minutes. It’s a little heavy for me since I am short and I weigh 136 pounds. Honestly I was worried at first. Anyway I put the feet on lifted it into my mantle plugged in the HDMI and power cords. Followed the directions with my iPhone and it works beautifully!!!! The price was reasonable and the Roku remote is easy. I downloaded the remote onto my iPhone so if my cousin looses it I will still be able to use the remote by using my phone. The picture quality so far is awesome. Sounds great. I hope to order one for my daughter in a few months!!!!! If I experience any difficulties I will try to post it if anything occurs. Great buy !!!!

Having read reviews that mentioned issues with shipping damage, l was hesitant to order online. However, the tv arrived in perfect condition. At first l couldn’t insert the HDMI and did not want to force it. Thinking the HDMI cable was out of date, l initially hooked up using the coaxial cable. As coaxial, l found out, cannot pipe HD, the picture quality wasn’t great. I went back to the HDMI and pushing harder was able to insert it. Once l did, the picture quality improved quite a bit, yet the input info still said only 720p. Researching further l learned that my cable box has a hidden menu to enable setting the output to 1080i or native. I set it to 1080i and picture improved further. The picture quality is stunning when looking fairly directly, but loses quality quickly as you move to the side. Typical of LED TVs. How livable to you depends on how much you want to pay. For specs that say the speakers are only 8-10w, the sound quality is great! My preference is the theatre setting. It’s getting hard to find anything but a 4k TV, which most people will be watching in 1080 anyway. I have gone to my local big box store and see no difference in the 4k picture quality at 1080 or this TV at 1080. 49″ is big enough. The distance between the leg stands is 37″ It is costly to purchase a TV stand for a larger TV. Some as much as the TV. The Roku and other free offerings are many. There are commercials when watching free content, but that’s to be expected. For the price, size and quality, this TV is a homerun!After owning for almost 6 months, l downgraded my review to 3 stars because the TCL tv has started making a rumbling and crackling noise when l stop, start or ff a recorded program watched from my DVR. It also occasionally makes the same sound when scene changes while watching regular tv. Instead of a digital tv it sounds as if l have a mechanical tv with an electric motor. I called TCL. They had me boot up a couple of steaming channels that do not make that noise. Therefore they said, it is my cable provider. Only l have other brand TV’s that do not make this noise. Because of that, my cable service says its the TCL tv. As TCL blames my cable service, l am stuck with this annoying noise. The picture is great and tv is great otherwise, but this remains unresolved. Update: I determined the problem was that I changed the volume setting to “level” With that off, the tv no longer makes tha noise. I haven’t contacted TLC about yet. Other than the noise, with or without volume leveling, I notice little difference. Otherwise it’s still a great tv and value.

I first want to say that I read through about an hour of reviews before deciding to purchase this TV. Fully understanding that sometimes you get what you pay for. I’ve waited almost a week to write this review because I wanted to give myself time to fully evaluate this TV. I give it 5 stars for price and quality. I’m very happy I took a chance to try a lesser known brand over the bigger names. The things that stand out the most that other people complained about are 1) no volume buttons on the remote. Not true. They are on the side of the remote. 2) having to enter your credit card for the Roku account. Also not true. At the bottom there is an option “skip this step” so you do not have to enter any payment information. 3) some people complained about the sound and picture quality. If you go into the settings, you can change all of those things to your liking. There’s even a “game mode”. So overall, I’m extremely happy and I would reccomend this TV to anyone who is looking for a great TV at an even better price.

I purchased a TCL 32s301 ROKU tv to use as a multi computer monitor in my office. It was only 720P but I was impressed by the quality of the picture. I do not do much gaming just an occasional flight sim. So when I saw this TCL 32s327 was 1080P I thought to purchase it for my wife who plays lots of games on her computer. The good points about this TV: excellent picture quality, ROKU, WIFI, great customer support from TCL (contacted for general questions and received answers within a couple of hours), thin bezel, 3 HDMI ports, USB port and excellent price for quality and features.The bad: It was not free but compared to what I have paid for dedicated 1080P monitors of less size and quality in the past it was almost free.The bottom line: this is a reasonably priced Tv with great features, great picture and overall good quality. It is a really good computer monitor. I highly recommend.

the manufacturer would not register the tv without purchasing a channel package?! Told them i did not want channels and the could stick the registration! 5 minutes later, the RUDE guy from India called me back to Assure me the TV would not work without activation. It did for a couple days THEN the “smart” part of the tv was GONE?!? Craziest, worst tv purchase EVER! Thank goodness it was me and not my elderly mother making the call or she would have paid for channels she would never use. They should be ASSHAMED!!
