TCL 40-inch Class 3-Series HD LED Smart Android TV 40S334

Overview

Streaming through Android TV apps, casting from a phone or tuning over-the-air channels, this set handles the usual living room jobs on a Full HD panel. A voice remote with Google Assistant ships in the box with the stand and power cable.

Built-in Android TV with Chromecast and a voice remote is the reason to buy, covering streaming, casting and cord-cutting from one set. The limits are the panel, which is Full HD at a standard refresh rate, and only two HDMI inputs for external devices.

Who it's for

Cord cutters who watch streaming services and local channels, and who cast from a phone, fit the set. Buyers with several consoles, receivers and players should count their sources first, because the listing supplies just a pair of HDMI ports.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

A direct LED backlight lights the panel from behind, so brightness is even but contrast is limited by the panel's native ratio. Full HD at this size gives clear detail at normal sofa distance. Streaming and casting need a Wi-Fi connection, and picture quality from apps depends on that link.
