abunda_amazon_reviews I have been a big fan of Vizio TV's over the years. For Christmas, I bought my son a 43" series 4 TCL and he and his wife love it. When my bedroom 40" Samsung went bad, I did my research and focused on ROKU TV's like the TCL, Hisense, JVC, and the Series 5 TCL. I could have saved money and bought the series 4 43" TCL for almost $80 less, but the features of the Series 5 won me over and I am so glad I got this TCL 43S525. The Picture is excellent, watched a streaming 4K movie using the Roku and all I can say is WOW... Good sound, and saw someone complain about the bezel size and I gotta say the bezel at the top and sides are very small, the bezel at the bottom is larger, but this is one great looking TV, I even like the power indicator at the bottom right side of the TV. Also, like that this TV even has a CAT 5 connection, so I can use my wired internet connection which is faster than my wifi for streaming. Would recommend this TV for anyone wanting a premium picture at a TCL price, I believe you will be blown away too.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;43" Series 5 is a great value and very good TV.;;W Fisher;;;I remember unwrapping my prom date. This tv, it cost less and it’s so much more gorgeous. People have mentioned the product pics. This does have a half inch all around “bezel”. If anyone can create a complaint about this tv, I can’t agree. It’s so far beyond the price that there’s nothing I could find to compare. The one thing I was amazed of, it’s incredibly light. Keep your fingers away from the front and read like it matters. You’ll be happy. I’m so pleased I can hardly stand it. I hope you are, too!!!;;Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Just Gorgeous.;;Scott Shilala;;;Every depiction of this item in official promotional adverts shows basically no bezel when in reality it’s just the same as before. When viewing up close, there is an apparent screen problem, where there aren’t enough sub-pixels to go around, causing small icons/pictures to have horrible color and detail and grays to shine like a rainbow. You can see this in the linked pictures below. In turn, this screen doesn't give off the feeling Of true 4K. When enabling HDR, it's even worse; the screen dims itself into oblivion as there aren't enough nits to achieve even an average brightness. The ”Dolby Vision” certification is all software and b.s. on this TV. So if you're thinking about getting this TV purely as a monitor or for 4K/HDR, look somewhere else. There are no changes from previous models except a gimmicky power light and HLG compliance. As someone who previously seen the 43S517, there is no reason to get this when you can get a 517 or 515 for almost half the price, which is what these TVs are actually worth.;;Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2019;;2.0 out of 5 stars;;Bad Detail, Misleading advertising, Mediocre HDR performance;;Ethan;;;Integrated beautifully with my smart-home system, amazing picture quality. Setup and install were super easy. My personal favorite bit though was the funny things it said on the "please stand by while we update/install/find your network" I won't ruin it by listing the things here, but it made me chuckle. Installing a TV should always be as fun as watching it. I am surprised more companies don't do that.;;Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Beautiful;;Kjersten Hendrickson;;;We turned it on for the first time, went through the setup & got connected to the wifi, and before we could do anything else the TV said it needed to do a software update. I let it do its update and now it is a brick. It just keeps rebooting itself over and over before ever getting to the home screen. Tried powering off, tried a hard reset, nothing works. This is the 2nd TCL we have owned. The first one had a black screen of death after 18 months, which a local repair shop was able to fix by replacing a burned out LED. I definitely won't be buying a 3rd TCL. These things are not well made.;;Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2019;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Poor quality.;;Andrew Miller;;;THE BEST TV!!! If you're looking for a high quality picture screen, HDR and smart features - AND, all the streaming access we highly recommend you buy a TCL smart TV!! We purchased our first TCL for the living room in a much bigger size and we loved it after enjoying the great features and easy to navigate! We just had to buy another one for our bedroom - replacing our Samsung. We love it! TCL smart TV - A MUST BUY, not joke! Great price too!;;Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;TCL Smart TV is a MUST BUY!;;Yuri Reyna;;;Excellent picture with deep blacks and intuitive remote. Upgrade from previous 4K TV which didn’t have this level of brightness or black level. Good value as well.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Great 4K monitor.;;Steve Maiman;;;Nice tv, would have gotten higher rating if not for the blatant false advertising. In the picture and video, bezels are made to look significantly smaller than they actually are. Still looks good, but not like advertised. They're 5 mm thick as opposed to the 1 or 2 it's made to look.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2019;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;Bezels not as small as advertised;;tony
