I realize you are just a giant troll and likely already know this, but guess who else makes kitchen appliances (and other general household appliances) in addition to televisions?
- LG
- Samsung
- TCL
- Panasonic
- Sony (don't believe me? Look it up)

you have 7000+ posts on RFD, you must be poor.Xtrema wrote: ↑ People who post on TV threads on forums do. General users don't. Plenty people won't put a Hisense or TCL in their living room because they don't want guests to ask if they are poor or something. That's why LG/Samsung's inferior low end still outsell Hisense/TCL in North America.
Hisense and TCL is being carried by Costco and Walmart mostly. Sometimes it's not hard to find them in Bestbuy or even local chains. Their footprint is just as wide.
BUT.... the brand building is still years away. It's hard. Just like Hyundai and Kia it still perceived as inferior cars by a lot of people. People are still bitching about shitty Sharp TVs when Hisense acquired them and put their panels under a Sharp logo. It's hard to get rid of the low end image.

Same reason why people buy a BMW 1/2 series or MB A/B series that's basically a Corolla with a fancy badge. There are a lot of people that cares about the badge then real performance of the product.trinxified wrote: ↑ I mean if you're hanging around people or have guests that will think you're poor because of a TV brand, then that's just very shallow of them.
Though I get what you're saying and understand why people pay for the higher-end brands with anything.
I know that comment will touch a nerve but deep in your heart, you know I'm right and there are people that are vain and purely choose a product based on branding and appearance.
I also have a 49" Haier in a guest bedroom which I repurposed as a work monitor when pandemic started. I don't really give a shit what people think either.sterdeus wrote: ↑ I guess I'm in the minority? I have a Haier in my livingroom and RCA in my bedroom. PQ and usability is adequate for my family and we use TVs for 5+ hours a day. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Hisense, they seem like decent TVs. I prefer to spend less on depreciating assets, as long as we take care of them and they have a decent track record.

Yeah it was the same deal I bought, we got a sign up promo code with CostcoU4IA wrote: ↑ Wow, we paid $647 for that tv back in Dec. But still worth it, no issues so far. Wife is not that picky on picture quality but i have no complaints. I find the built in apps work as good as my shield so we repurposed it to another tv.
Also have a 65" hisense about 2 years old from Costco, also no issues.

Yes you do. And for $1000 all in you get a massive 75” TV. I am considering this for our downstairs space at the cottage as my kids become teens and need a hang out space.

No thanks. Hisense 4 evarubberlock wrote: ↑ I would say Vizio was higher quality, made in US. Hisense is Chinese. I've had the 65" for 4 years now, been very happy with it. Not super great quality but my eyes aren't really that great so works for me
I like the fact that this is Android TV, not Roku.

I think Hisense used to be Sharp America. Sharp Aquos TV used to be one of the best LCD TV several years ago. How soon we forget. Now owned by a Chinese company, Hisense.

I know someone close to me that wants to by a Dyson because "people look at that". I don't give a shit, as long as the vacuum does the job I'm happy.

Not carried in-store apparently. Could be different in other places but I asked.cannon_fodder wrote: ↑ Did I miss anyone posting if it's cheaper in store?

For TV's, yes. I bought my Panasonic Plasma from Target off a RFD deal at Target and it's still kicking today. Why would I replace something that isn't broken?Shadow Rider wrote: ↑ Is this your first time on the internet since 2015?
