Functions
Smart TV - the capabilities of a TV are comparable to a computer: it can easily cope with web browsing, video, games. The smart functionality of Thomson T43FSL5140 is based on the operating system based on Android 7.0. Many applications can be installed for it. It is very easy to manage, configure, but it very often slows down, freezes when watching movies online and when installing downloaded applications. The TV spontaneously turns off due to freezing of Smart TV.
Video recording - it is possible to record terrestrial channels to memory media and USB drives.
Time Shift is a function that allows you to stop broadcasting a TV program at any time and record it in order to continue viewing from the moment of pause at another time.

Verdict
The T43FSL5140 turned out to be quite interesting and modern. Thomson engineers decided to keep up with the times and chose the Android 7.0 operating system for Smart TV. The system is good, popular, there are many free applications for it on the network, but the developers did not take into account that their TV is simply not able to play content without freezes. This is a big minus of the model. Because of this, the TV constantly reboots, slows down - in general, it causes great discomfort. In all other respects, this is a good model with a good screen, sound quality, large screen size. Model price - ... I believe that this is more than an acceptable price for a TV with such a diagonal. But if the screen size is not in the first place for you, I would advise you the model Kivi 32FR50BR - it is more functional, more technologically advanced, and the price is lower - .
