TCL or PRISM?

[yeowboon]

Hi all tv gurus, looking to buy a 4x inch TV for my parents, to be placed in living room.
Budget around $500? Currently looking at TCL (no particular model) as well as Prism E43.
Have read about the reviews esp for Prism..but would like to find out more about user experience.

Thanks all in advance!

im using prism tv. its okay. decent for its price. if you buy it, be super extra careful with its panel. i read of cases where people broke the panel while mounting the tv/monitor.

Ya so far considering it, I doubt the giant deal of 49 inch at $399 is still available..but still a good price point tv with necessary ports

Ya don’t mind. Parents are in theirs 60s, don’t really care if it’s just HD

55. just be careful with the panel for their monitors and tv and you should be fine with their product.

Before I knew about TCL existence, I thought Prism was a good deal.

After I met TCL, damn why would anybody go for Prism? TCL beats everything out of Prism for the same price, except warranty. Xiaomi vs TCL would be a closer comparison.

I using tcl 49 inch full hd for $399. Value for money. Full hd is good enuff, cos no 4k broadcast in sg, only netflix and youtube can watch in 4k.

Me too. I definitely prefer TCL than Prism.

Also, I don't like the ethics of Prism for censoring their negative comments and only allow positive feedback.

TCL how many years warranty?

3 years. 1st year full. 2nd n 3rd year, parts n labour must pay. So technically full 1 year warranty
