Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I decided to replace a 9-year-old 720P Toshiba 37" TV with this unit. I'm not a big spender, and I want the most bang for my buck, and that lead me to this TV. I first saw the TCL brand at a Walmart, and looked down on the brand name having never heard of it. But back home I did some research and found the name more popular than I expected. Various models (particularly their top '5' series) were getting some decent reviews from trusted sites. And then there was the 2,500+ positive reviews here on Amazon, which pushed me into purchasing it. My primary goals were to get something slightly larger than our 37", that was 4K, and had 3 or more HDMI inputs. Having Roku built-in meant that the Amazon FireTV we were using would also be removed to free up an HDMI jack. We are using an antenna for live TV which seems to pull in more channels more reliably than our previous TV. The Roku interface tied into the TV features is very intuitive. We can even see a channel guide for live broadcast that the TV gets from somewhere. We linked up an XBox 360 and Wii U to the HDMI inputs, and an old GameBoy to the discrete AV inputs, and it's intuitive again to switch between the inputs (they can be renamed). It has a nice feature where you can pause live TV if you have a USB memory stick in the USB port, so that's new to us. The sound features are adequate for us. You can hook it up to a BlueTooth speaker if desired, so more impressive sound can be obtained at a price. Still, I selected one of the enhanced audio presets, and I am happy with the sound. There's also a setting that favors dialog that seems to work nicely, if you have problems hearing dialog in movies and such. The picture itself is set to a 'normal' setting, which was not the default. It provides a really nice picture, and with the proper input I can say that everyone has noticed the improvement. The one downside I would say I've noticed is that the angle of view is not as great as with our previous set. If we all sit on the couch 5' from the screen, the image is good. But, if you start going to far off to the side, then the picture becomes washed out. It's not a practical concern to me, just an observation, as nobody sits off that far to the side. The only thing that remains to be seen, is how this will TV will stand up to the test of time. If I can get 5 years use out of it, then I would be pretty happy with that.
