RCA Roku TV 40" FHD Smart TV, RK40FQ1 40 Inch TV with Apple TV+ BBC Netflix Freeview, HDR Dolby Audio HDMI USB Port, Large Screen TV for Living Room

This was the third TV I picked up to use in our caravan. I'd seen the good reviews but I'd always been put off by that '720p' label - but I gave in and thought I'd give it a go. So happy I did - this thing is awesome. It's probably me being a nerd about the 720p thing - in practice you don't notice it. The image on this thing is really crisp - no ghosting/motion blur etc. The colours and the black level are amazing for this price - it almost looks HDR to me. Audio was surprisingly good too - very clean and there's some bass in there too. We'd previously just been using a laptop plugged into the caravan's stereo to watch late night/rainy day movies on our excursions but with this TV the audio is plenty loud enough. Talking of watching media - this is running the Roku OS so it comes complete with a great media player app. MP4 and MKV containers play and scrub flawlessly (I haven't tried AVIs though as it's not 2002). One tip - when you are selected your media source i.e. USB drive etc, when you have the device highlighted press the asterisk button (*) on the remote to bring up the menu. Here you can change between grid icons and a list view - the latter being much more useful to see the titles of your media. I'm not a big TV viewer - but set up was very simple and seemed to work well. Important to note is that you do need to register an account when you set this up which requires an internet connection. You don't need to provide payment details. It's a very lightweight unit - perfect for mounting in a caravan if that's your thing. The 'stand' is very cheap and cheerful plastic legs but they are quite stable once attached. Very much recommended - don't let the 720p label put you off!

Arrived well double packed arrived next day and on time tv was easy to set up once tv is on you just follow instructions on tv it automatics sets your programs so you don’t have to do it. I found the TV didn’t take 10 minutes to set up the colour. Brightness was excellent. The sound volume was excellent but you might need a sound bar for more volume remote control is easy to use. I was able to add + apple to the apps there is plenty of apps to choose from. I have a fire stick which is easy to install an automatically set up for you. What more can you want? This is an excellent tv I’m so glad I chose this one. It is well worth the money. I highly recommend this TV 100% it has excellent picture quality. there plenty of films to watch.

Purchased for my mam (late 60s) as she enjoys using the streaming apps on her phone or tablet but with her eyesight worsening I wanted to get her an easy to use smart(ish) tv. Tv arrived packaged well. The initial setup was super easy. It did require setting up a free Roku account to use the App Store but this only took 1 minute. We’re based in Ireland so it was great to get Irish apps like Rte player and NowTv on it quickly. Also super easy to remove apps which she would not use. The main Home Screen is super easy to navigate and she picked it up immediately. It’s less cluttered than more smart or premium offerings so perfect for an audience like this. WiFi connection proved no problem and it’s quick to connect to her hotspot when she uses it. Volume is incredibly high (which suits her) - I would say the video mode is eco friendly I believe when you first turn it on, but you can simply select other modes. I think we chose a vivid mode and the colours were punchy and bright going forward. Highly recommend for older users for the ease of use without the fluff.

First to briefly review the picture quality - this is a very nice television, with no complaints concerning picture quality. I think only someone accustomed to much more advanced TV’s (e.g. OLED) would find anything objectionable about the picture quality, but as I am thankfully not that person, I am absolutely satisfied. I was however quite taken aback by how poor the audio is. I have upgraded to the 43” RCA from a 32” Samsung which was 10 years old, and am astounded by how bad the audio is. Obviously it is not strictly a “deal-breaker” - it has not been quite bad enough for me to send this back (which would be quite an inconvenience). But if you want better audio quality, I would not be surprised if you could find a slightly more expensive TV that would nonetheless be cheaper than combining this with a soundbar. To put things in perspective, I connected the TV to my tiny (also 10 year old) UE Mini Boombox (via my Google Chromecast, which supports bluetooth), and my tiny ancient speaker had FAR better audio quality than this TV. I mean, bass, treble, overall clarity, you name it. So if you do get this, you may want to consider aftermarket speakers, if you do not already have some. As for the operating system, there is a huge bonus to any Apple users, as the Apple TV compatibility means you can cast to the TV directly from an iPhone, iPad, etc. Earlier, using a Google Chromecast on my old TV, I could not do this, even after I’d paid for an aftermarket screen sharing app. With that said, owing to the absence of a voice remote for the Roku OS, I usually still use my Chromecast (which, again, can connect to bluetooth speakers with no audio delay - this TV does not appear to have bluetooth). Hope people find this helpful. The photo is the TV, with an episode of Dutch Bushcraft Knives via Chromecast, and my tiny bluetooth speaker.

If, like me, you're after budget-friendly TV with impressive picture quality, this RCA 32" TV is definitely worth considering. Despite its affordable price point, this TV delivers really good clarity, fairly decent colour accuracy, and contrast, thanks to its 1080p resolution (surprising as most 32" TV's at this price point are 720p). Image quality is crisp and vibrant, making it ideal for streaming movies and TV shows. HDR is supported but, honestly, HDR on a panel like this won't be great thanks to light bleed from the backlight (a problem inherent to most TV's that are backlit and don't support local dimming). I wouldn't say it makes a great gaming TV, but paired with something like a Nintendo Switch this might be a good choice for a child's bedroom. This TV does have smart features, with streaming apps built-in. I haven't tried these as I'm not using this TV for that purpose. The settings menu lacks many advanced features of a HDR TV but has the basics covered. While the audio quality is decent, you might want to consider pairing this TV with external speakers or a sound bar. Bass is practically non-existent and music playback tends to be particularly tinny. Overall, this RCA TV offers great value for your money and is a solid option for anyone looking for a TV on a budget.

A horrible TV. It only works with an internet connection for a start. It has a naff fuzzy picture - no clarity or sharpness. It's only possible advantage could be that with the internet, you can get more channels. But I don't like it.

So happy with this TV it took about 10 mins to set up and that was mainly putting the legs on. Screen quality is fantastic for the price. It has 3 hdmi ports so you can set up multiple devices, the volume is very surprising as it goes really loud, and it's loud even on a lower number which is great and I find myself turning stuff up constantly. Would recommend if you want a basic smart TV, it connects to to WiFi really fast, and fits so well onto my small dresser

Bought for my 12 year old daughter for Christmas as her TV broke in her room a few weeks before hand. Wasn’t expecting much for the price but I’m really impressed. Volume is loud. Picture quality is great, easy to set up and connect to the internet. Overall a great purchase.

works well with Internet

The best tv ever

TV turned on and did not work after that.

Bought on Australian Amazon, but has an overseas incompatible wall plug which isnt mentioned anywhere on the ad. Very dissapointed.
