Our take on the TCL 40" 1080p Smart LED Roku HDTV
This is a 40-inch 1080p LED TV with Roku's smart platform built in, so streaming apps and an over-the-air tuner live in one interface. It covers the basics well: three HDMI inputs, Ethernet and Wi-Fi, and the Roku remote with voice search on many versions. It suits a bedroom, kitchen, dorm or second room where a 4K set would be wasted. Against 4K rivals it gives up resolution and HDR, but Roku is one of the simplest smart systems to learn, and owners of TCL's entry sets generally find the picture bright and the setup quick.
- Roku interface is fast to learn and well organized
- Three HDMI inputs for consoles and streaming sticks
- 1080p panel is sharp at typical small-room viewing distance
- Wi-Fi and Ethernet both built in
- Voice search on the Roku remote

What reviewers say
Owners of TCL's entry-level Roku sets tend to call them easy to set up and good value for a spare room, with the Roku system doing most of the work. Complaints center on sound quality and the picture washing out at wide angles.
- Picture qualityMixedOwners find the 1080p image fine head-on but notice fading at wider angles.
- SoundCriticisedReviewers say the built-in speakers are thin and a soundbar is worth adding.
- SetupPraisedBuyers report the Roku setup and app sign-in take only minutes.
Questions and answers
- Is this TV good for a bedroom?
- Yes. At 40 inches and 1080p, it fits small rooms and typical viewing distances without showing pixels. The Roku system covers streaming and live TV in one place.
- Does it support 4K or HDR?
- No. The panel is 1080p and does not support HDR. Step up to a 4K model if you sit close or plan to keep it for a large living room.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, a Roku remote, a stand and power cable. Check the listing for the exact remote version, since some ship with voice search and some without.
- Can I connect a console and a streaming stick?
- Yes. There are three HDMI inputs, so a console, a stick and a cable box can all stay connected. Ethernet is there if Wi-Fi is weak.
- How does it compare with TCL's 4K models?
- It trades resolution and HDR for a lower price and the same Roku software. The 4K sets are better for big rooms; this one is better for spare rooms and close seating.
