TCL vs Hisense UHD TV, which should I choose?

**attyallanlatras** · August 14th, 2016 10:01 PM

Now, instead of a 32" HD TV, I have decided to go for a 50" UHD or 4K Led TV. But I am tempted to consider the lesser known brands- TCL and Hisense, both from China. There are 2 models I am considering. Hisense 50" 4k Uhd Smart led TV 2016 50k322, meron akong nakita na P25,000.00 sya. and the other is also a 4k UHD Smart TV- from TCL... Model nya is E5800, priced at P 27k. Would the price difference between Hisense and TCL, mean the latter is better in terms of built quality than the former?

Yung mga Samsung and LG counterpart, nasa 40k up na ang prices...

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

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.

Screen Mirroring nowadays refers to directly casting your phone's screen to your TV. On non-smart TVs, you can do this with a Chromecast.

It's what I do on our 10 year old Sony TV - I just use Chromecast to stream videos from my phone to the TV.

Newer TVs have screen mirroring built in already.

i have a 48" TCL smart tv for 2 years na no problem so far. quality is quite close to the lg smart tv. i dont use smart tv function at all kasi ang bagal ng interface compared to a laptop or cellphone. so as mentioned here i use the screen mirror function if i want to watch it on the bigger screen.
