Is anyone familiar with the brand TCL for TVs? Are they any good?

Fired up my Windows VM to run one of my only-works-on-Windows utilities. It immediately started updating. Eight hours later, it's still updating.

SJ they seem to be fine. TCL is a Chinese brand that is new to the US market, they only entered in 2013. They are growing the brand and mainly marketing through Amazon. Lots of features and low prices. The image quality gets decent ratings.
I've got a preference for Samsung panels, but you'll pay a bit more for them. I've just used them for years at home and on installations and they tend to live a pretty long life. The 47" LCD that Pix and I have is a Samsung that is now 13 years old and it's still going strong.

Thanks, ND. I can't get a smart tv in the size I need in a Samsung, which was my first choice.

Hey. New board.
I would usually recommend stepping up to the Moto G, but those have crept up in price. I genuinely like all of the low price Motorola phones and recommend them highly so I think that is probably a great choice!
Notice that the Standard Version is comparable in price to the Prime Exclusive version. Which you prefer is your call - the Prime Exclusive integrates with Amazon well (e.g. it may include Alexa integration and the Amazon Appstore is preinstalled) which can be good or bad depending.

Hey. New board.
What changed?
NVM, I found it in a google. I haven't updated but the pictures don't bug me. I can see the argument against it though.
For you, tom: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's funny -- I hated it on sight, but totally adjusted after two days. I think I just always hate change at first.
