Q: What is the difference between android tv and non android tv
A: Android TV is a Google operating system for televisions. In purchasing an Android TV-based device (like this), you do not lose any of the functionality that you'd expect from a normal (non-smart) TV. On the contrary, this TV has everything you'd hope for AND a smart user interface that allows you to easily pair streaming services (I.e. Netflix, Prime) and control the TV via your smart phone. I was concerned that my Apple devices would be incompatible with Android TV, but was pleasantly surprised to find it perfectly compatible.
Q: What is the distance between the feet stands and can they be adjusted?
A: For this 55 inch TCL Android TV, the feet spacing to fit on a stand is 38.4 inches. The feet cannot be adjusted. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
A: Native refresh rate: 60HZ CMI: 120HZ Curious about CMI?(clear motion index): https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/fake-refresh-rates-samsung-clear-motion-rate-vs-sony-motionflow-vs-lg-trumotion
A: Currently the 55S434 is a Best Buy exclusive. This model features an Android operating system, while the S425 and S435 both feature a Roku operating system. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
Q: Is this TV Wi-Fi compatible?
A: This TCL Android TV has the ability to connect to the Internet via WiFi or through Ethernet. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
A: Our TCL Android TVs do indeed support Bluetooth and can be paired with compatible audio devices that also support and pair via Bluetooth. You can also visit https://support.tcl.com/androidtv-setup-configuration/connecting-bluetooth-devices-to-my-android-tv-642 for more information. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
Q: What version are the HDMI ports? (Are they HDMI 2.0?)
A: This TCL Android TV features HDMI 2.0 ports. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
Q: Are you able browse the internet on this? Are you able to use Google Chrome?
A: It’s basically an Android phone, so you may be able to download a web browser. I say “may”, because it is based on what the manufacturer allows in the Google Play store for Android TV. There are many ways around this (download Aptoid TV which is a separate, legit, app store, where you should find Chrome or Puffin Browser in there), or sideload the app (this is a separate topic entirely, but you can check out Youtube for help with that).
