You are right. Lucky never get this brand.

Seeing how they handle the situation makes me have no faith in the distributor. Will definitely be sharing with friends and family to not go with this brand.
Tbf there’s no better alternative. All the brand at the same price have cmi after sales. Unless you simply recommend to others to get branded name tvs, then again not everyone can afford that price range.

TCL service is completely cmi? Whereas panel is decent so you lottery on whether will spoil or have issues or not.

And Hisense is PRISM+ OEM ? Which also means super CMI by default, am i getting this right

If I’m not wrong, Skyworth is PRISM+’s OEM.

If you wanna be safe, just set aside some funds for a spare TV if anything goes wrong along with your mental health.

oh regular base price $2000 but lazada sales stack all the discount can reach close to $1500.

$2000(non sales price) - $150(Lazada bonus) - $100(store coupon) - smlj ABC 8.8 9.9 10.10 - cashback = roughly ~$1500

Oh i see, btw the cashback redeem got capped at $10. So even if get a lot of cashback from buying tv, it’s hard to really use all. Imo don’t include the cashback

This is like crazy. if that's the case,mini led should be the main trend in the future.

i don't see people spending so much money now on TV.

mini led is the smart choice.

my current tcl tv is still working. waiting to die and replace a mini led

Mind i ask how long have u used ur tcl tv for?

As least TCL C645 & C845 use VA panels for deep black while Hisense U7K continues using greyish-black IPS panel (65" & 75"). 🤦‍♀️

I hope I win the panel lottery when I get mine soon (but I got the old model). And hopefully don't have to trouble TCL support.

C645 review
- Good allrounder for the price
- Decent brightness and colors, but greyish black at high brightness
- Decent gaming features, but pixel response time a bit higher than I'd like

this is how the reputated brand works?

i quite buy what he said

those Korean brands they just too greedy to have a high margin while budget tv brand like TCL can aldy produce the same quality as while they don't get a higher margin, that's why U.S. now TCL are more acceptable, you know U.S market is not easy to enter.
