I had not heard of the TCL brand before and did a little bit of research to find out that they’re a Chinese company that has manufactured products for domestic sales since the mid-80s. Now they are selling their products here. The concern with any unknown brand would be longevity – will the TV last past the warranty? I can’t comment on that, of course, because I’ve only had this TV for a few days. I can say that it was very easy to set up, and it produces a nice sharp picture. In addition to good HD streaming, it also produces a very nice image on the standard-definition channels. The sound from the speakers is a little flat, so if you care about high-quality sound, I would recommend connecting external speakers. At 40 inches, it’s a nice size for a smaller living area. An attachable stand is included. There is no hardware included for wall mounting. It probably took me 10 minutes from the time I got the TV out of the box to having it up and running with stand attached. You’ll need an HD cable to connect to your cable box or other receiver. Then you set the TV input to the HDMI setting, and you’re watching TV. If you want to set your cable/universal remote to operate this TV, you may have a problem, since TCL is a newer brand and may not be included in your receiver’s list of brand codes.

Overall, this is a very nice TV at a good price. The two-year warranty should take some of the concerns out of purchasing, but I’ll be interested to see how the TV does in the long run.

good warranty & seems like a good tv, but what good is a 2 year warranty if there’s no where to take it (to big to be shipping it). i did or do want to get this tv, but a warranty center for TCL is hard to find (if there is one). so i called amzon to find out what to do if i should need to use the warranty, they had no information (not even a phone #). i checked there web site, no US contacts, only china. $500 is alot for a as is tv. if i find out more information on how the warranty works i will add the information.

ADDING MORE:

they do or have made RCA tv’s also, but more on the warranty they dont really have any service centers or places to bring the tv at this time. what they will do is call you back when they are able to find someone or place that will fix it, but before they do anything they will try to see if you can fix it (talk you thought the problem). there service # is 1-877-300-8837. to me it seems that this 2 year warranty at this time may not be all that good, it seems like “if” something happens to go wrong it will be awhile before it will get fix (a whole lot of phone tag). by the way there customer srevice seems to be good. i think i will just spend alittle bit more on a brand i know more about or wait for a few months to see what other people of them, i don’t have $500 to gamble with these days.
