is panasonic still a player in TV's these days

i don't actually have a TCL tv but i'm sure they're in the top5 worldwide

but i do have two TCL-made android phones and they've been flawless. TCL also makes blackberry phones

so i won't hesitate to buy a TCL tv. in fact my kitchen TV is from a smaller chinese company, Skyworth. it's been flawless as well. no antenna/cable/satellite, just a Chromecast. i'm also thinking of buying a xiaomi mi box but the Chromecast is all i need right now, which is to play mostly youtube like recipes it's the kitchen TV after all

hindi na ba sikat panasonic pag dating sa tv? may nabasa ako post na yan daw supplier ng lcd led panel ?

mukhang tcl na bibilhin namin..... mahina ako pag technical pag sa electronics kaya nagbasa-basa muna ako... pero habol ko talaga smart tv.....

you sure you want a smart TV? why not just buy an ordinary tv and plug a Chromecast or whatever to it. when newer tech comes along just buy a new box

or if you ask me don't bother w/ TV anymore. it's obsolete. VR is the new thing. oculus rift just dropped prices. HTC vive followed suit. VR headsets are going to very cheap very soon. so screw that rectangular thing on the wall

Not me. I agree TVs aren't that relevant to me anymore. But, I take my Live TV with me via mobile. I watch my DirecTV more on my iPad Mini 2 than my regular TV.

We have a 32" Hisense TV in the kitchen. We bought it back in 2014. It has smart features. But, we only use it as a regular TV because Hisense tends to be a little slow in releasing software updates *grrrr* Netflix *grrrr*. It also lags a bit in games when I hook up (via HDMI) my laptop to it.

Otherwise, the image quality is excellent. It's only 720p and 1080i. But, unlike older 720p TVs, it can take a 1080p signal and downscale it to 720p. For example, if I hook up my laptop to my older 720p TV, 1080p is not a valid resolution. But, if I hook up the Hisense TV, 1080p can be selected. It looks ugly. But, at least it's usable.
