In the present note the magnitude of constants in Telyakovskii-type theorems is investigated. Our general approach to construct the linear operators yielding good constants is the one via Boolean sums. Explicit values for the constants in question are given for general convolution-type operators; the classical Fejér-Korovkin kernel is then used as an example for which one obtains rather small values. Furthermore, also an asymptotic assertion is derived which indicates the room left for improvement of the main results. This leads to a natural conjecture concluding this article.
