It's kinda strange to see RCA, a former leader in top of the line television production, reduced to an afterthought (if they're even thought of at all) in the minds of most TV purchasers.
Went a different direction for family.

I couldn't imagine buying an RCA TV in 2021. I'm amazed they're still around. Other TV brands that should've died out by now are Philips, Panasonic and Toshiba.
Out of all those brands you mentioned Philips & Magnavox are still licensed to the same companies. Funai since 2008 for North America TVs and TPV for the rest of the world since 2011. Funai was one of the original OEM manufacturers, long before the days of Foxconn. Philips saw the writing on the wall and realized that TVs are basically commodities with low barriers to entry. Unless you're selling high end TVs you're not making a lot of money. Sony and all the Japanese giants of the past should have learned that a long time ago and would have avoided all the losses they suffered in their electronics divisions. Philips gets 5% of sales and doesn't have to invest a penny. That's smart business, very smart!
Insignia used to be my go-to brand since 2012 for dumb TVs, now mostly Hisense manufactured. Since they are mostly now Fire TVs, I switched to Magnavox Roku TVs. They and Philips Roku TVs are sold at Sam's Club. The Philips units includes a three year warranty. I've been happy with the Magnavox units and wouldn't hesitate to repurchase in the future. I'm sure there are better units to be had, but they're the best I've owned yet and that's the enough for me.
Funai also has the license for the Sanyo brand. Panasonic, hasn't been in the US market since shortly after Plasmas put up the white flag and just announced in October that they are selling their plants in Europe to an unnamed third party company. Toshiba was licensed to Hisense, until Foxconn sued them to reclaim the Sharp brand that they now own. They claimed that Hisense was ruining the Sharp brand by making poor quality/reliable TVs.

Just wanted to give my 2c on the RCA brand. I bought a couple of 40" 1080p ones (non-smart) over 3 years ago when they were like $65 on clearance at Walmart. Fairly sure the manufacturer behind the RCA name is the same for the ones I bought and this one (some poster mentioned Curtis). All I can say is I have had no issues whatsoever with my 2 RCAs. Picture is ok for what it is and everything else works just fine. Since it is a simple tv (no built-in roku), probably a lot less things to break down than this tv. But I've been happy and satisfied with my RCAs. At this price for a 58" roku 4K tv, you can consider this a "throwaway" as well-- hope it lasts at least a few years and you should get your money's worth.
Went ahead and bought one for the gym, hopefully it will work for that. We we looking to spend $1000 for a 55" Samsung but for under $300, it is worth a try.

Yes it does. Also includes a LAN port, USB, co-ax, (3) HDMI with ARC on HDMI 1 and composite in.
It kills me that so many retailers don't even list these specs.

You might want to open the box and test out the 65" Element. I purchased two when it was Frontpage, the first one had a cracked screen (returned) and the second one ended up having dark spots on the screen when you turn it on.
Thanks for the advise. I just checked the element TV, it looks good but makes sense to check. Mom will be happy with the new TV for Christmas.
I've been lucky with the budget TVs (Hisence, Spectre, Phillips, Westinghouse). None have broke, the only reason to replace has been the resolution being outdated.
Thanks OP! I've been on slickdeal website for a while and this is my first time getting a YMMV deal from a small town here. I couldn't sleep last night so I "ordered then ask questions later" at 4am in the morning. It was $266+$23 tax=$290 total. I pick up later tonight hopefully it's not canceled by then.
Thanks again OP!!!!

Understandably so... A lot of companies of yore we used to remember from back in the day fell off to the wayside in this same manner. Kodak, for example, was complacent and stuck in their ways rather than innovating as digital media was becoming more prominent, and so that bull-headedness became the cause of their demise... Aside from RCA, this resulted in both companies being forced to sell off their rights to some Chinese (and French) conglomerates due to the lack of other viable options, and in doing so, those companies only stood to capitalize on the reputation of these legacy brands in an effort to gain the goodwill of potential Western consumers through brand recognition... S/N: IBM also sold off their PC division (primarily the ThinkPad line) to Lenovo which faced a similar fate.

Yeah, it's not even the same RCA. per Wikipedia[wikipedia.org], "In 1988, the rights to manufacture consumer electronics products under the RCA and GE brand was acquired by Thomson Consumer Electronics, in exchange for some of Thomson's medical businesses, which still manages the RCA trademarks today."
I just picked this up from my local Target in south NJ - $266 - 5% target red card discount + tax. About to take it out of the box, will try to answer questions.
I just set it up and so far so good. The setup is what you would expect from roku. I played a calibration video from youtube and the sony 4K demo, and both looked fantastic to my eyes. The blacks are lacking but no worse than any non-OLED TV and on a completely black screen you see a tiny bit of edge flare. But first impression is that this would compete well against other sub-$700 sets.
