Hi all, just want to know more about TCL brand, i know they are from China, and their TV prices is quite cheap and reasonable, are the quality any good ? I'm only using it to watch movies and for casual usage daily.

Using for 5 years now. Not bad actually.
No complaints for the price paid.

I too am curious, I need to buy another TV for my Dad, which brand better TCL, Hisense, Prism or Xiaomi?

So they are quite reliable and durable for their price point ? Saw one on offer 50 inch for 1.3k, seems like their prices is very reasonable and affordable.

Caixun.

cheaps things not good , good things not cheap

Bought 43" TCL UHD 4k Android Google TV around RM900 last month , best spec if compare to same range UHD 4k 43" like Xiaomi/other brand gv less RAM and cost more . Like the TV so far .

Electronic things hard to predict, I buy samsung tablet for drawing only, no gaming at all, 2 years kaput also. My hometown TV Philips also kaput after few years

very good and since its cheap, even rosak every 2 year also fine for me.
mine c635 already 2 years+, nothing breaks yet.

If you’re not hardcore user should be enough for the price you paid. My cousin is using this brand currently it’s works very well

Well i was expecting to change it after 2-3 years but it would seem it will last at least 7 years until the lcd panel defect become unbearable.

After 5 years the 4 corners got some slight black vignette but not tat obvious though.

Same model I bought. 65". Coming to 2 years. I put in my rental unit

also TS, just in case you didnt know.
TCL-csot is currently holding every samsung lcd patent at the moment and they probably hold samsung lcd manufacturing secrets too.
they are pretty much 1st tier lcd tv company now when it come to picture quality

Been using for about 11 months so far ok la nothing major.

Thanks everyone for the valuable feedback, will most likely be leaning into TCL, will do further research on which model to get as I'm on a budget of 1-2K. Thanks very much !

good
samsung china sold all their assets and patent to tcl

I'm also looking for a cheap Chinese TV.

Afaik, hisense offers 3-year-warranty vs TCL's 2 years.

hisense mostly use ADS(IPS) panel for their lower size tv, avoid if possible
65 and above most likely VA panel.

also those vidaa os, where got people prefer those.

T7B looks ok.

From online research, they got decent panel, but not so good processing processor.

My 5 year old TV has really lousy built in android specs even when new but surprisingly still able to play youtube, netflix and browse internet until today.

decent enough for me, upscaling 480p content just fine.

Got Google TV for hisense, A6500.

life is too short just to settle down with low end tv.

My Samsung tv 48inch already 8 years still ok 😁

First you need to make sure it's actually TCL. Being a Chinese brand doesn't mean it's immune from being knocked-off, eg:

used my 43 inch TCL for 7 years. so far so good. no regret at all.

Different strokes for different folks.

Cant remember which (TCL or Hisense) that has laggy software.

+1

I had bad experience with Philips TV 4K recently, kaput after 3 years. mainboard burned

thing is , this tv hardly switch on ( visitor's room )

need to find review online. I remember realme smart tv kena diu 99 cuz too many problems and I own realme phone, model 6 1 think, 1 year the fingerprint sensor and the screen sendiri rosak

its mean that the tv have defect that should be noticed during break in period, but because the tv are not used, you didnt aware of the defect.

how long is break in period? around 1000 hours or so. which mean the tv need to run 10hours per day for 100 days.

cant remember

havent got problem with hisense tv on the other guest room. bought same year also

well electronic is complicated, no one can guarantee every product is free from manufacturing defect.

thats why the product is backed by warranty, that should give enough time for manufacturer to fix any manufacturing defects case.

i did have a lcd monitor that i bought last 4 years, it came dead on arrival, i return back to the retailer they give option to get refund or upgrade to another model lol.

Samsung tvs are generally good can’t compare with tcl tv

Hi may I know which model you bought? I'm looking around for a Tv below 55". Prefer Google TV and WiFi 2.4/5ghz etc. Do share what you finally bought. Thanks
