Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Owners love how convincingly the A400 Pro mimics a real painting in Art Mode. Several buyers say the TV looked like an actual wall painting when displaying art, with one commenter admitting they initially thought it was a wall painting. Others who purchased the set describe it as one of their favorite TVs and call it the best option for quality versus price, especially when paired with TCL's S45H soundbar for a complete home-theater look. This aesthetic appeal appears to be a major draw for shoppers choosing it over rivals like Samsung's Frame.

Design details fall short of Samsung's Frame in a few practical ways. Some owners note the A400 Pro's back panel is noticeably thicker than Samsung's Frame, so it won't sit as flush against the wall once mounted. A buyer in Sweden also reported that no slim wall mount was included with their unit, leaving them searching for one separately. Another commenter observed a mirror-like reflection on the screen at certain times of day, which could affect how convincing the art display looks in bright rooms.

Availability and software vary frustratingly by region. One frustrated shopper repeated across two comments that despite being marketed as a 2026 model, the TCL A400 Pro still isn't sold in the USA, pushing them to buy Samsung's Frame Pro instead. A Canadian buyer found their unit shipped with Fire OS rather than Google OS and ruled it out for that reason. There's also no confirmed motion sensor to automatically switch off Art Mode when nobody's in the room, unlike Samsung's Frame.
