I got a element similar to the lg , myself I agree with all pucks especially the insignia on being worst , I had one not long though. My element I got in 2010 and it runs like the day I got it 13 years ago, as far as Vizio tv it ranks about there my son gave me one extra and as far as outputs I cant stand it only 2hdmi outputs but it’s fairly old probably 7 but my element older thinner screen has many more outputs than that of Vizio my other son or brother has lg I’ve really come to learn and love but I like my element sound I couldn’t tell you I’ve forgotten because for most of time I’ve owned it I’ve had a sound bar or speaker seperate from tv but I know I’m at least on right track because I’m in shopping mode for another thank you 🙏🏼

I bought a 40" Samsung smart TV in 2013 - still working great. However, it cannot connect any Bluetooth devices except those made by Samsung - bummer as Samsung sound bars are pretty expensive. Also, Samsung stopped upgrading the Smart TV software about 2017 and I'm stuck now with an old outdated Web interface - Web browser cannot do some important things more modern browers on more modern smart TV's can do - no way to upgrade the Web browser so you're stuck with an outdated Web interface.

[@josemariaquinzon6363]

i'm a service tech and i handled almost every brand that we have... and buying tv's must depend on what and how are you going to use it for... customers must know what tv they need before they buy one, there are features that they market to you but cannot use it because you don't have that feature in your place or country,,, every tv brand and model fits to someone, if you have a tight budget then you must just get what you can afford because it doesn't matter if you buy the latest or fastest model or the cheapest brand after five years that model is obsolete or worse that unit is beyond repair... you can buy the highest resolution tv but if in your place there is no broadcast for that resolution your tv is worthless... like here in the philippines you can buy 16k or 8k resolution tv but we only have 4k resolution max on broadcast like in netflix... you still can enjoy 4k but not your 8k resolution... you will just become a victim of marketing person selling you things you can't use

[@exgenica]

One thing I've noticed about the very THIN TV's, is that there is virtually zero ventilation for the LEDs and/or the LED power supply board. As a result the LEDs and sensitive parts on the power supply board overheat and run very hot, often for long periods of time. I suggest this lack of ventilation may be at *_least_* partially responsible for a great majority of early "black screen" LED TV failures and may even be the most signiricant contributor to many of the failures.

I believe the life of a flat panel display is greatly dependent upon how the settings are configured. If you have the brightness cranked as high as it will go, the screen will fail soon. And turn off the "auto-brightness", or whatever your brand calls it. It is always changing the pixel brightness and just burns them out.

[@grb1184]

The same technology is used in comp monitors as in these TVs, generally speaking. In offices, those last for 8-10 years with much higher use. One difference is often the backlighting which in the long past has been CCFL but is now relying on different arrays of LEDs, with the exception of OLED. I have a problem with manufacturers who make throwaway TVs like TCL. When you have a TV that has lightly used for 18 months and the backlight goes out, that’s a problem. It’s hard to imagine a computer monitor that needs to be replaced in under five years. That doesn’t happen. And what’s a warranty? But TCL does have very nice support people. The 4K for series had a pretty good picture. The ROKU system, while irritatingly ad-ridden and redundant, is preferred over Google. But I won’t buy or use TCL for anything since it’s unreliable.

Hi there. Everybody has their own mixed opinions about which brand of televisions to buy today. Toshiba "was" the television specialists and made very good models. TEK Electronics South Africa were the sole agents for Toshiba and made excellent CRTs and Telefunken was one of these models. My family had a unit which lasted roughly 45 years. We also had a few Panasonic CRTs in the household and still have the "big one" in one of the bedrooms. As for myself, I previously owned a Sony LCD 46" that was complete rubbish and it did not even last 10000 hours. Currently, I have a Panasonic LED 49" and I have not had any issues with the unit yet, however I am expecting something to blow out soon ! Most electronics companies do not make televisions like they used to anymore either. To me, televisions of today are all the same, no matter which type of brand you eventually land up buying . The reason why I am saying this, is because all the different components and parts of a television are identical and are sourced from the same factory in China and Japan. Six or half a dozen makes no odds ! 👍

Our very first HD tv was a 36" Sony High Definition TV with a Cathode tube! If anyone remembers the beautiful tube TVs that Sony made before the flat screen revolution, imagine one in "high def" which at the time was 720p. Yes, this thing only resolved 720p. But until we got our LG OLED, no flat screens had the dynamic range that the Sony HiDef Tube tv had.

I purchased a 55-inch TCL in 2020 and it has been a tremendous value. This was after returning a Sony that did not have a very good picture. Saved hundreds over a Samsung that could be used to upgrade the audio. Easy Roku interface and no bloatware. The viewing angle is only fair but that is probably true for all LED TVs at mid-price points. Would buy another TCL when needed unless there is a great deal on a comparable LG. Previously had a Vizio that was quite good but the interface on Vizio TVs now is inferior.

[@roypribble2233]

Never had a inferior Sony flat-screen TV. All have had superior color and sound. The remotes are far superior and easy to use. They are worth the money, for quality.

[@mikeolson7557]

I’ve had my TCL since 2018 and it hasn’t missed a beat. 😎

[@Lol-bt6ih]

Anyone has Weston tv still working..?

[@knightmarerip711]

I actually like LG, but it does not last long. I bought this pricy TV thinking it would last, but a month before the warranty expired, problems with the display started to show. Dead pixels and a horizontal like. We were lucky that they replaced it for free, but the replacement did not reach 3 years. I only use it for watching Netflix, KZbin, and prime. No gaming consoles attached to it. So, now I need to replace it.

[@USArmyVet91]

TCL is in the right spot. I love the ROKU interface, and as yet have had no issues with either of the pair I bought three years back. Nice to see that even with lackluster Customer Support and the "Panel Lottery" issues, you give it credit for what it is.

[@DrMarkHShapiro]

I agree, excellent choice for a lower-priced TV.

[@terrencemorris3983]

My tcl stop working recently

[@spdaltid]

3 out of 3 failed. Nope.

[@DrMarkHShapiro]

@@spdaltid Mine works just fine.

[@baltogames1501]

I had to return a 65" TCL 65C815. It had extreme light bleeding on nearly half the panel and I don't know how they get away with false marketing. They claim the panel is 100hz on all their marketing for this tv, but it is only a 60hz panel.

[@mikeh6876]

LG also makes some of the best computer monitors and all are reasonably priced. When I was building PC systems, LG was all I used. For the luxury artistic feel, they also offer a 32" ultrafine Oled monitor for a little less than $4,000.

[@tedrogers6980]

I own an advertising business in Oklahoma. I have used all of the brands in your review. I have purchased over 1,000 Insignia TVs since 2010 and the Insignia tvs have outlasted every other brand. I currently have some Insignia TVs that are on 24/7 since 2011 and still look great and work great. My #1 pick is the Insignia!

Best thing you could ever do for your life is to throw away your television. It's literally a mind control device.

[@barry1122]

Its a screen. Period. Whhat you watch is your choice of anything in the world.. Control YOUR mind...

We have a 50" jvc 4k set,had it for about 4 years or so now and it's been flawless,only getting rid of it to get a bigger set,we bought it on a budget and was very shocked at how good a picture it produced

[@billpasch8853]

My go to brand has always been Samsung but I might be interested in a LG😊

[@Bassman46]

Samsung used to be good but the last one I bought sucked can hardly see the screen in darker movies. Last one for me👎

[@colinwright4139]

Have Samsung,Panasonic,JVC (only small screen) Had LG for 14 years. My grandson has it now, and daughter has my 14 year old samsung. All do the job. If need apps put a stick in it.

[@charlesklein1224]

I bought a vizio 12 years ago, still has a great picture.

[@gbhoy67]

LG all the way for me. It used to be samsung as i love their phones & the interaction between tv & phone is great but for sheer picture & sound quality LG takes it for me. Got a 68"in my living room & wouldn't change it. What about westinghouse for budget tv? Got a 40" in my bedroom & never had an with it & it was less than £300, for a 40" that's decent so in picture & sound quality it's a win, win but it's how each of us experience it I suppose

[@streamandtechnow]

We have Westinghouse in one of bedrooms as well inexpensive but zero issues either... I don't think they mean the list because they don't really sell too many TVs... For this they just looked at some of the most popular brands.

[@Spike-qh2bb]

Agree LG the best

[@robertduncan5696]

I will never buy a Samsung TV again the last one the screen just went black and my family had the same problem with their Samsung TV

[@alejandraorozco2183]

Same here

[@Bassman46]

I’m the same way I’ll never buy another one 1:15

[@streamandtechnow]

That's unfortunate. I definitely think the quality has slipped I probably would go with LG or Sony before getting Samsung

[@donnamentrasti2695]

Wow... surprising to hear. I've had mine for at least 7 years and it's been great... same for my cousin and another friend who also own Samsungs.

[@ladymax23]

I thought I was the only one. Wow, it happened to my 2014 TV and out of warranty. But I gave it another run the second one the screen went black but I was on the warranty they came in house and fixed it. I haven't had that problem with the one in my living room. I'm not sure what's going on with Samsung, but everything in my house is Samsung. I got rid of my HW-450 Soundbar and upgraded to A 650 with bass boost, and I love it!

[@Devilcity6275]

Have a LG -70” - no issues over the last 2 years. Lots of free channels. ❤

[@akiramen9535]

I've been used 45" Sony TV, it didnt last long & completely gone black screen after 6 years. I've bought Panasonic 32" for my parents, although the screen had wavy pictures but enjoyable, the fact its been more than 10 yrs still unbelieveable. My current TV now is 40" Philips & Megra (Malaysia's local brand) I hope both will lasted long!

[@deefay396]

I have had a Panasonic for about 12 years or more, no problems. At one point a tv repairman told me that he would only purchase a tv he never comes across to repair which was the Panasonic. Too bad they are not made any longer to my knowledge. I had a Vizio which was occasionally used in a bedroom. It went black after about 2 years. I could not believe it, what JUNK. I took it to the local trash dump for the recycling. The trashmen looked at it, he said wow you are getting rid of that, it is new? I was like yes it is complete junk. These manufacturers should be fined for making something so terrible that lasts such a short time that ends up in the landfills. Consumers also should be compensated in some way, to put out money for this type of crap.

[@flaky7225]

Samsung TV aircon washing machine, ref all no issue.we used for almost one decade.good brand

[@Bo_D_Hansen]

I have a Sony Bravia 45" TV I bought it in 2005 and even though it's on every day since 2005 it still works like it's brand new

[@LouDeVere]

Thanks for this. Many of the brands you've mentioned are not available to us in Australia. The only TV I have ever had a problem with was an LG! It went to a black screen after about 3 years use. I have had other LG TVs that have been great. For pure VFM, I think Hisense takes some beating. We currently have a 4 year old 65" OLED which, touch wood, is still working really well with amazing picture quality.

[@chriswells2953]

Same thing happened to me. LG LED TV's are not built to last long. I had 2 LG TV's and after 3 years of use I had to throw them away because the backlights burned out. TV's should last a minimum of 5 years. I switched to Samsung because not only is their picture quality more crisp but my mom had her Samsung LED TV for over 10 years and the picture and backlights work just as good now as when she first purchased it. Whoever manufactures LG TV's is incompetent because they are just junk. Their TV's look and sound great when you first purchase them but you'll be either spending money for repair or buying a brand new one in 2 to 3 years

[@chriswells2953]

I'll never buy an LG TV again!!! Two broke on me within a 6 year period. I had to throw them away because the back lights started burning out in a matter of a couple years on both of them. LG TV's are junk because I know people that have Samsung LED TV's and had them for over 10 years. A good TV should last close to 10 years or more.

[@diosyntaxa]

Only had two flat TVs so far, both Philips, both have been good purchases. I remember the brand I bought 4 sets back and with the first one being one I bought in the mid 90s, a 28" CRT Panasonic, my last non widescreen TV, second one I got some years later, still CRT, this one a 32" Philips which I had until I got the 55" Philips flat screen HD set I had for around 10 years IIRC when I finally got my current Philips 65" OLED 903 set that I've been very happy with. Are there things that might be better on other sets? Sure, but price was high even for this one back then and it supported what seemed like it would be the dominant HDR standard so I went for it (also a friend had it before me and I liked what I saw). I have nostalgia for my old 28" Panasonic, always had good experience with Panasonic for VHS and TV before but their prices were high. Most of the brands mentioned aren't even ones I've heard of (I'm in Sweden), though I of course know of Sony, LG, etc.. Didn't think RCA was still around to be honest :)

[@stephenthompson6395]

I have owned 5 insignia TVs and NO problems with any of them. They've lasted for many years.

[@claudiawhite8868]

My favorite is Hisense. I have had 3 of them and love them. They have the best picture quality of any I’ve seen. Their picture is almost 3D in quality. I have had so many people stop and take a second look and comment on the picture quality. A sound bar or surrounding sound makes up for the audio downfall, but they don’t column up on commercials as many TV’s do. I am pleased with my Hisense and frequently recommend them to my friends.

[@malcolmharing3744]

China thanks you.

[@claudiawhite8868]

My TV is made in Mexico. I checked before I purchased it. And besides almost all the cell phones, laptops and computers are made in China or with mostly Chinese parts. Try again, YOU ARE WRONG

[@dermotmcglinchey282]

I bought a Hisense 65” in 2018 just replaced it with Samsung , 5 years and that’s about their limit.. Good TV but complicated and difficult to navigate at times, my new 75” Samsung looks amazing with high spec and amazing color…
