TCL 32SF540K 32 inch FHD Fire TV with OS7 Smart television - HDR & HLG-Dolby Audio-DTS Virtual X/DTS-HD-Metal Bezel-less-Dual-band Wifi 5-with Fire OS 7 system

I needed to replace the old telly in the guest bedroom and started my search. Didn't want to spend a fortune but had in mind a 32 inch for nax. £300. The TCL telly intrigued me. How could they do it at this price - delivered??? The spec. looked impressive, comments were good., so I thought about it for a day or two and so, given I could return it easily if needed. I placed my Prime order. My friendly courier rocked-up nest day, as scheduled with the box. He handed it to me and I was stunned by the lack of weight. Careful unpacking, attaching the feet and plugging-in took about 20 minutes. Powered-up nicely and I then began the set-up. n.b. there's no co-ax port for your TV aerial because you don't nned it any more!! It's all very intuitive but you'll need your little book of logins and passwords to access your home Wi-fi and then the individual apps on the screen. Once logged in, they just work. In Summary: It's a great peiece of kit, the new functionality (way of accessing TV content) may do your head-in for a day or two. That soon passes though.. Sound and Picture quality are both great. Perfect for a bedroom or kitchen SUMMARY: I'm a believer - friends and family love it too. Extraordinary value for money. JUST BUY ONE.

Good brand Affordable. Good delivery. Easy set up.

TCL 32SF540K 32-inch FHD Smart Television I bought this TV while it was on offer. This was budget friendly and it didn't need to have any type of high specs but being a Smart TV just made things a little better when using some online subscription APPs. Unlike most 32inch TV's on the market that only offered 720p resolution this offers 1080p resolution and the picture quality i felt for the price i paid was good its sharp and detailed. This does support HDR however, at this price point i would stress its probably something that your not going to notice you would possible on high spec TV though with a larger screen size. Some colours can feel a little washed out however, for the most part the black where reasonable, shadows details were ok along with the natural colours. Its not the brightest of screens though but it is well balanced and better than the TV it replaces. This does have the Fire TV OS so runs all the amazon features while also providing access to other platforms like BBC player, Disney, Netflix etc. The interface is pretty easy to navigate through and i would say this is pretty user friendly. The controller is pretty much a Fire stick remote so if you have ever used one you will be familiar with the operations of the controls. So Alexa voice control are included. Build quality was actually decent i was impressed with how thin the bezels were its more aesthetics pleasing however, visual experience its nice to see a screen without thick bezels. It does i felt make the TV look a little smaller in footprint in comparison to others which is nice if your looking for space efficiency. Otherwise the build is pretty much what i would expect its similar to all TV on the market nowadays with the plastics. The legs stands i would say i had no issues with and the TV is stable yet you can wall mount this if its more convenient. Sound quality i felt could have been better there built-in however, in a bedroom i would say there adequate you do need to turn it up slightly more than normal. Less immersive experience if your watching a movie. Overall for what i paid for the TV which was just over £100 this i felt offered good value for its features and quality of the image. Yes the sound could have been better yet for a small room it may not be so much of an issue.

A very nice TV that was super easy to set up using a QR code set up, the picture is sharp with natural colours , it's a really slim TV too and the size is perfect for a bedroom or small living room. The TV stands were easy to attach and the smart TV stands sturdy , the slim design and thin edging around the screen give it a modern stylish look. The in built speakers sound great for a small TV the sound quality is good and the television is certainly loud enough with clear dialogue and music during movies and programmes. I think it was one of the easiest TVs to set up and the menu and navigation is really easy with the apps easy to select and navigate such as Amazon prime and other apps. I have it hooked up to a console too , using the remote control it's easy to select source and HDMI 1 to access console straight away or just leave it on the menu to watch programmes using the apps menu. The TV is superb value compared to other similar televisions , it's a bargain and really good quality, the picture is sharp , colours stand out , it's a slim design, easy to set up, a good quality remote control and decent sound quality. Perfect size for a bedroom or to use with a console on a desk.

I bought this tv cos it was cheap an cheerful not costing a arm an a leg. I'm really really impressed with this it's ridiculously lightweight setup was super easy to do. The batteries that were supplied I had to change as once they were in the remote the remote wouldn't work but new batteries an all is fine. I went to Dolby Surround in my audio settings an turned that on as it was set at off. I saw alot of precious reviews before I bought this moaning about the sound being tiny! You've just seen the lil vid I did on the sound do not listen to the reviews of ppl saying the sound isn't good they don't know what they are talking about!. I leave reviews on practically everything we buy believe me when I say there is nothing wrong with this sound!. Love this tv, well worth the price it is perfect. What a bargain so worth the price tag.!

Well after a few weeks use and quite a bit of tinkering about with the picture adjustments I have finally got what I wanted, a reasonably decent natural looking picture on this kitchen TV . The first thing to realise is that ditching the standard set up, called dynamic is essential. It gives a truly peculiar and for me unwatchable picture. In fact all the offered picture types are weird one way or another. To get a sensible, watchable picture select “natural” and then adjust the settings to suit your situation, lighting, own preferences etc and it can be made to look ok. There remains one Big drawback, only viewing directly in front and on a level with the screen gives a decent picture. To the sides even a small amount gives a washed out misted appearance.so that isn’t very good especially if you want to wall mount the thing high up in a corner as I need to. The sound also really is not so good. At least it was very cheap so for what I want it will do for the moment , just! I really can’t see any benefit from all the supposed improvements in technology. My twelve year old Toshiba with of course an old fashioned spec has a far better picture and sound too. So much for carefully researching reviews and specifications, none of which have really helped me find a tv with that wow factor. When the time comes for the dear old Tosh to pop its pixels , which can’t be long now, I shall ignore the so called expert reviews and realise that a decent replacement is going to cost much more than this. Review update . After my original review I received a helpful reply from an Amazon advisor so decided I wouldcarry on with trying to use this tv. However I have finally lost patience with it. Everyone else in the household gave up on it a while ago, only I persevered with it. Well after all I was the idiot who bought it! It was always weird to use and now it fails to do anything much. I can’t decide if it has become faulty as in actually “broken down” or just had faulty software from the get go. Either way it is no use at all now.For example it confirms it is connected then says the server is not available, everything else in the house working perfectly including a different tv on a fire stick. It says Alexa not available. It will not connect to any of the standard apps like BBC other than Prime, then it just sits with a blank screen. SO I want to return it and use the money to buy something better that works properly. Of course I haven’tkept the packaging so we’ll have to see what Amazon customer services think. So my advice is to ignore the spec which sounds quite good but really is a bit suspect in my opinion and buy something which is also reliable.

Excellent

I bought this budget friendly tv for my PS5. It wasn’t what I expected. There’s a fair bit of lag input and in gaming that’s not great. Went through all the settings but didn’t manage to fix the issue. The screen quality is decent but I’m sure there are better options out there, but u get what u pay for. The tv is very light so that reflects on the build quality. The colour is vibrant. The sound im not a fan of. It somehow sounds flat. Turning the tv on for the first time I could see lines in the tv pixels. But once u have colours on the screen it goes away
