Troubleshooting

Having trouble completing the guided setup? Don’t worry, it’s usually an easy fix.

If you cannot see a picture on your TV

  • Make sure your TV and the device you want to watch (cable box, Blu-ray player, game console, etc.) are turned on and plugged into a working wall outlet.
  • Make sure your power cable is connected.

If you cannot connect to your wireless home network during guided setup

  • Make sure the correct wireless network name is selected.
  • Make sure the wireless network password is correctly entered (password is case sensitive).
  • Improve wireless signal by rotating the router slightly (even a few inches can help).

If you cannot hear sound

  • Make sure TV volume is turned up and not on mute.
  • Try only the TV speakers by disconnecting any connection to audio devices (like headphones or audio-video receivers).

If the TV remote control isn’t working

  • Remove any obstruction and point the remote at the TV’s IR receiver (see Get to know your TV).
  • Try a fresh set of batteries.
  • If the status light on the front of your TV
    flashes once each time you press a remote button, the problem is not with the remote. Unplug the TV and plug it back in.

FAQS

What’s in the box?

Power Cord
Remote
Stand
Warranty Info
Quick Start Guide

Does it support hdmi 2.1?

It’s still a native 60Hz panel. Do your research. Regardless what it “supports”, the max FPS will be 60 because it’s a 60Hz panel. So for example, if you connect a gaming PC to it and post a fps counter, depending on the PC specs and game you play, it might say you are getting 200FPS but the max your going to actually see is 60 FPS because you are limited to the display panel. Also “natural motion 240” is fancy talk for their black frame insertion technology they use to reduce motion blur and artifacts. Again, do your research if you are planning to buy a TV for next-gen consoles and 120 hz gaming. if you are looking for a TV specifically for high refresh rate gaming and low latency input, this is not the TV for you. 

Is it able to be used with a standard wall mount? Are any additional accessories needed?

Absolutely! This 50 inch TCL Roku TV is compatible with most wall mounts that support a 200mm x 200mm VESA mounting pattern. You would need to provide any sort of mounting hardware or bracket. 

How long is the warranty?

All new TCL Roku TVs come with a standard one-year part and labor warranty. You can visit https://support.tcl.com/us/03-tcl-tv-warranty-information for more specific warranty questions. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
