I bought a TCL 43 TV for our exercise room based on numerous articles raving about the product. I usually have purchased Samsung TV's in the past.
After I set it up i began looking for the internet browser, I assumed, because all my other TV's had a browser that was a standard part of a "smart" TV. Wrong! The TCL does all of its streaming through Roku and does not have a full featured browser. You can subscribe to one at $4.99 per month. Not happening.
In our office we us the browsers all the time to display various things, I also use the browser to access YouTube so I do not join Google. I'm not sure if I need a browser at this point but for future use I am thinking of returning to Costco and getting a Samsung for about $50 more. Am I being silly on this or thinking smart for future flexibility?
