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

Nice picture and sound - but will need a sound bar for more bass. Slow menu selection - going in the lodgers' room. Good value for the £132 that it cost. I turned down the brightness to preserve the life of the electronics. In a well-lit area, so can't judge dark room performance. Happy :)

This was purchased for a bedroom. Very easy to set up although it took about an hour or so. Very light weight. It seems flimsy but the actual tv is brilliant. Very good for the money. Remote control and decent. Very happy with this purchase. My parents seen it and also purchased one for their room. Would recommend for the money.

The vesa 100x100 mounting holes are quite low on the back of the TV so bare that in mind if you're buying this to replace a much older tv which might have a larger format vesa mounting system that is high up on your existing tv, the mounting holes have a raised lip and cause mounting arms not to sit flat so it's easy for them to shift and sit offcentre thus it's a bad design for those with tilting mount arms for a wall mounted rail, it won't affect a mounting plate however yet this means a bit of faff with you being required to test fit the mount to make sure the tv sits straight and isn't lifting to one side. The lightweight design is very nice so mounting it to a wall rail is easy, the screen is incredibly bright and the speakers are ok but not the best quality, the wifi connectivity seems to be pretty good but I will be wiring in a ethernet cable for a more solid connection with wifi being a backup. I have a Majority Snowdon II soundbar and the remote interferes with this smart tv - Button presses on the soundbar remote correlate with the action from the soundbar and also mirror a channel number press on the provided fire remote, there is no fix around it and thus im forced to endure forever pausing video and audio everytime i adjust the sound - I didn't have this problem with my old TV, and even using the soundbars IR code to implement control with the tv remote and following all the suggested steps to remedy the issue it still persists. The remote and tv have no customisation in the form of disabling the channel control buttons - Im using this purely for amazon prime video and mirroring video from my pc and nintendo switch. Having to go to the main menu to enter the actual full options/settings menu is a bit of a pain, I don't have an aerial connection as everything moved to digital a decade ago so the channel feature feels completely useless and ill-thought. For the price it's a nice affordable TV, but its compatability with Majority soundbars and remote interference is rather frustrating and poor. You can enable and customise a through-control system with the soundbar but the manufacturer isn't listed or found by this tv so i'm using a generic profile it generated that gives me basic sound control, I really wish they would of included some way to set the IR controls onto a different frequency so the two remotes i have don't interfere. The instruction manual and support from TCL is pretty bad - I'm having to use chapgpt to tell me about features. EDIT: 8/3/2026 after just a few months the TV died, and please note I was not using it everyday or for many hours, in the first week of ownership I watched a lot of The Grand Tour maybe 2-3 hours a day and after that I used it every other night for an hour or two before going to bed, and something on the power supply board had failed and it blown the plugged 5A ceramic fuse, i replaced the fuse but the TV shown zero life and would not power on at all so i've returned it. I replaced a 14 year old Hannspree TV for this, so i'm really disappointed in the lack of quality of components used in the assembly, that combined with the fact this TV produces a horrible constant hum when using it with my Snowden Majority II soundbar which works perfectly with other devices via bluetooth and optical.

Kitchen is being redesigned and we wanted to incorporate a 32” smart TV that provided Freely, had a Fire OS so that it could integrate with our Alexa enabled devices and support our eufy camera feeds…. Oh and all in FULL HD. This TCL 32” model (32SF560-UK) was NOT our 1st choice…. Unfortunately, it was our ONLY choice that met the criteria at Full HD 1080p resolution. It’s worth noting that we looked at alternatives first - we even tried the Amazon echo hub (I know it’s not a TV, but we had compatibility/consistency issues) and we did consider the latest 21” Amazon echo show, but even at *gasp* £400 price tag, it doesn’t have Freely TV, nor do any of the actual Fire TV’s. So, unless we went for a larger sized Panasonic TV (Panasonics all have Fire OS and Freely, except for the 32”), for the current price of £140, this TCL TV was worth taking a gamble on. 1st thing to note when you unbox it…. It’s incredibly light. It only weighs 3.4kg and should be easily supported by the majority of small wall brackets (with VESA 100x100 mount size). You definitely don’t need any heavyweight brackets specifically advertised for 32” TVs. The 2nd thing you notice is that the lower section of the TV is quite thick in comparison to the overall size and upper part. It measures 7cm deep at this lower part - why? Possibly to incorporate the inputs and power, but also the stereo speakers (that point downwards). I don’t have too much experience with TV’s of this size in regards to speaker quality, but given the size of the speaker housing, I was surprised that the speakers weren’t better sounding! They are just so underwhelming. Once you get everything mounted… the next steps are ; software update (crucial, otherwise BBC iPlayer won’t work), internet connection (via WiFi or Ethernet), channel scans, linking to your Amazon account and other devices etc, creating or logging into itvX account (otherwise you won’t be able to watch ITV channels on Freely). Plus any other apps or streaming services such as Netflix, etc. We had no problems in enabling our eufy security cameras and doorbell with the TV. The good (and bad) thing about Alexa voice commands with this TV is that you interact with the TV via the press of the voice button on the remote. You don’t need to say ‘Alexa’ or ‘echo’ first. Just press and hold the button as you speak. Therefore, if you have another echo device in the same room, you won’t cause any confusion between the two whenever you say ‘Alexa’. But of course it means you have to have the remote nearby all the time if you want to interact with the TV with verbal commands. Picture quality is totally acceptable. It’s 1080p and noticeably better than the 32” 720p models I looked at in the high street shops. Although it’s never going to compete with an OLED TV for depth of colour or broad viewing angles. The key thing is, it’s pretty decent for the screen size - especially considering current price tag. HOWEVER…. (no decent balanced review should exist without a ‘however’)…..There ARE a number of negatives; Whilst the 1080p picture quality is ‘ok’, this only the case if viewing from fairly straight on. Soon as you go about 30 degrees off centre either direction, the colours begin to desaturate significantly! Unfortunately, this is inherent to these low end LED/LCD tv screens and you’re not going to avoid this even with other brands unless you bump up your budget. Aside from this, my two biggest disappointments with the TV is that 1) it does take a while for it to start up…. It’s like an old PC that’s reached retirement age speed in loading and starting up. 2) Once it’s all turned on… you have to endure an endless stream of Amazon product adverts until you press a channel or app on the remote control. Is this why this TV is relatively so “cheap”? Have I just paid Amazon for them to show me their adverts or 3rd party adverts in my own home? Paying for a TV that force feeds you adverts via the operating system isn’t what I signed up for. It’s worse than turning on your ‘normal’ TV and the default channel is always one of those late night shopping channels. From what I understand, “echo Shows” have a similar issue, but on a smaller scale. Fortunately when placed on standby and it’s turned on again, it doe go straight to your last channel. But if I had known this what it means to have an Amazon ‘Fire OS’ on my TV, I may have waited another 6 months and researched other alternatives. But the saddest thing for me about this Fire OS is…. now knowing that I may never revisit my favourite TV brand again when we look at upgrading our old main Panasonic TV in a few weeks time. I really want to give this a 3 star or lower rating. But once I’m reminded that this is currently the ONLY TV on the market (that I found/know of… I challenge you, tell me of another!) that is 32 inches, full HD and has Fire OS and Freely… then perhaps it deserves better.

This TV is really light, easy to set up and good size for what I need. Connects to echo and has a good quality picture, however the sound is very tinny which you do get used to and you can connect speakers which makes the sound better. I've had no faults so far with it so I highly recommend this TV.

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.

great product, simple to set up and great picture, and at a great price

I bought a used item, came in mint condition albeit it had been opened before and there were no batteries supplied, but I knew this. I set it up in no time, decent picture and sound, I have added a soundbar that does improve the quality of the sound but I just happened to have a spare. I have it set up in my log cabin, 32” is just the job.
