On the hardware side, we've got things like a Konica Minolta CS-200 tristimulus color meter, an LS-100 luminance meter, a Leo Bodnar input lag tester, a Murideo Seven 8K signal generator, and more Blu-rays than we can keep track of. Coupled with the strong core picture qualities, the 3-Series delivers excellent value for the money. Roku even includes a decent range of totally free channels, like westerns and kids’ content, meaning it’s a snap to enjoy programming right away. It’s very easy to plug it in, do a bit of setup, and get down to watching things. However, the best thing about this TV is the built-in Roku software (which we generally prefer to Android software). If you can find the 1080p version for a similar price, it's worth the upgrade, but we also don't recommend paying too much for a minor upgrade to resolution.

We also couldn’t help but notice some pixelation in menus while testing the 720p resolution version of the 32-inch model. Testing revealed rather limited brightness even on the highest backlight setting, meaning it might not be a great choice for a very bright space. If we’ve got one complaint about the 3-Series, it’s that it isn’t very bright. There’s no 4K resolution here (nor HDR compatibility), but you are getting reliable black levels, good color accuracy, and better backlight uniformity than we usually see in this price bracket.
The main gist of this series is that it does away with a lot of the newer and more expensive qualities of most of the mainstream TVs you’ll see in stores these days: the 32-inch 3-Series is available in older 720p or 1080p resolution, while the 40- and 43-inch versions are also 1080p. Although the 3-Series may not have a lot of sizzle, it’s still a prime cut. It's available in a 32-inch model with smart software in tow (either Roku or Android). Fortunately, the TCL 3-Series is one entry-level option that punches above its weight class. If you’re shopping for a secondary TV, your budget is tight, and you only want to spend a couple hundred bucks, the pickings can be slim.
