Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 162 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently reported that products, especially TVs, suffered from poor quality, often malfunctioning prematurely with issues like blacklight failure or blank screens. Many found the user experience frustrating due to slow performance, laggy interfaces, and unresponsive remote controls, making navigation difficult. People also struggled with inadequate customer service, describing it as difficult to reach, unhelpful, and designed to avoid resolving issues. Specific complaints included poor sound quality, frequent signal loss, incorrect color display, and problems with product interoperability. However, some people mentioned that the picture quality of the TVs was good or even crystal clear, and a few appreciated the ability to make content appear in HD.

Streaming apps freezing or jumping. Very slow to respond to remote control. Almost as if the memory isn’t enough or it’s losing WiFi connection. Very slow going through menus. Left in for warranty rep... See more

Worst TV I have ever purchased. Menu almost impossible to navigate. Remote control automatically takes you to options you haven’t selected. It’s almost like it’s possessed by a demonic force that dire... See more

TCL / Google TCL 55Q77K

TCL / Google needs to ensure that their TV's work with APP's that are supposedly compatible with their TV's! My issue is with the MLB App & Bluetooth connectivity. EVERY TIME and I mean EVERY TIME I launch the MLB App and connect my Sound Core Q30 headphone via Bluetooth the picture starts to JERK! The TV (TCL 55Q77K) is brand new! I worked with TCL support trying several fixes. TCL support finally suggested I take the TV back to the store I purchased it from. The support was very responsive it's not their fault they can't fix JUNK! This is not acceptable quality assurance.
I will also post my issues on 'TrustPilot' to reach a much wider audience.
My model is TCL 55Q77K. I would never recommend this brand of TV.

A TCL Roku TV that has failed in under 3 years

A TCL Roku TV that is under three years old has failed, the screen is completely black, no picture at all. The TV hasn’t had a lot of use, perhaps one to two hours of daily use on average. This is disappointing. I expect a TV to last longer than this. By comparison I have a Samsung TV that is older than 10 years and gets significantly more use, around five hours per day, that is still going strong after all this time. I won’t buy another TCL TV.

Got an email next day that said couldn't view email.Dont buy this junk tha isn't backed by a legitimate warranty at all!

Well it works

Let me be clear the TV works fine everything as described is there, however the picture quality is way below anything I have seen for many years. I bought it to replace a 13 year old Samsung that finally gave up but the picture on the old TV was way better than what I have now. I have tried everything possible to get the picture up to spec but no joy serves me right for buying cheap. One last thing speed wise it is not the quickest to respond to the remote so if you want cheap fine it does work otherwise avoid this brand

This is about the worst service ever..

This is about the worst costumer service I have ever had... First calling the place who sold the TV, then told to call TCL ....
"Hello.. we have a some problems... good bye"
That TV is going back to where I bought it and never ever TCL again...
It's not possible (even for an experienced guy) to get the TV to listen on the HDMI channel.. Not a "Source" button on the remote controller at all...
Expensive JUNK!

Had lost sound on the TV

Had lost sound on the TV. Talked to Customer service employee named Flor. She was such a great help and was so patient with me while she was talking me through the steps of checking out the problem. It ended up not being the TV but the cable box that was the problem. I would highly recommend Flor as a great employee.

I will never buy a TCL TV again

I will never buy a TCL TV again. You get what you pay for. The TV I purchased is only two years old the screen has gone black and I've done everything the automated person told me to, to try to fix it. The TV powers on but flashes TCL Roku then goes black. I've seen a ton of reviews and would have never purchased this if I knew this was a ongoing problem.

ZERO STARS!!!!

ZERO STARS!!!!
I own two of them unfortunately and both of them are the worst televisions ever! Always shutting off by themselves, slow as can be to get to an app, mysteriously changes to Netflix during my Hulu watching. Sometimes it won’t switch to over to shows, you have to shut it off several times to go back to home. I will never put a penny on another TCL.

If I could give zero stars

If I could give zero stars, I would. Selling products not fit for purpose and do not do as advertised, with no way to contact them other than an online enquiry that will never get answered. I had to pester the repair centre to the point that they had someone from TCL contact me because they refused to provide any contact details. I had to take my complaint to consumer affairs.

Worse customer service ever

Worse customer service ever. Delivered American fridge freezer with water filter missing. After 2 weeks they are still denying it was missing. I was present when installers unpacked the Appliance and saw first hand there was know water filter within the appliance. But according to TCL customer service it was there. I payed £200 to have the fridge freezer delivered and installed, 2 weeks have gone by and the water/ice dispenser is still not working. Thanks to TCL customer services you simply are the worst

Never never buy a tv from TCL

This is the worst tech experience I have ever had in my life.
Bought TCL smart TV for £££ via AO, relatively good reviews. Also very energy efficient which drew me to it at the time of the energy crisis.
After about a year everything started going wrong; apps not working, black screen, not turning on/off, crashing, unable to reset, hard resets not working.
TCL sent 2 third party engineers out at different times, both engineers, completely impartial may I add from an external company they use, both said they’d never buy one, worst brand, the brand of TV they spend the majority of their time fixing. Just sighed when I told them what was happening.
Luckily I bought this via AO who helped me on 2 3-way calls with TCL as after 3 calls myself and the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced, I couldn’t bear to call them anymore and was at my wits end. Their answer to everything is to keep sending an engineer out, which takes weeks, to change the board, multiple times basically until you’re out of your warranty! Even when the engineer writes a report saying the TV issues cannot be fixed.
AO managed to get them to agree to a full refund for me but if it wasn’t for them I would have got no where.
I’d avoid this brand for the rest of my life.
