Look up the reviews on walmart. 33% are 1 star reviews. and that was at a $289 price point. Just not worth it.
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.
Picked up 8 and donated to MDS for Tornado Response:

Install the Target app. Goto Circle Offers and claim it. Show the bar code at checkout.
Can also view the product in the app and it'll show the coupon.

Note: The $380 starting price is for online orders only. Sounds like the in store price is higher.

I picked up one of these a compared it side-by-side with a Hisense U6G, which is a pretty well-reviewed TV that is currently selling for $450 for 55".

Some wins for the RCA:

- The RCA has surprisingly nice metal stands. The Hisense stands are cheap plastic, as is more common for budget TVs.
- Out of the box color looked more accurate on the RCA in some situations, notably greens such as grass or trees, where the Hisense seemed a bit yellowish.
- The size difference between 55" and 58" was more significant than expected.

Some wins for the Hisense:

- The Hisense has wider viewing angles
- The Hisense has darker blacks (local dimming), higher brightness, and higher contrast. The RCA has fairly poor black levels (i.e. it doesn't not get completely black), so it wouldn't be great for viewing at night or in a dark room.
- The Hisense shows more detail in dark areas of the image.
- The Hisense has much better sound. The RCA has no bass at all, so it sounds thin and hollow.
- The Hisense has 4 HDMI ports vs 3 on the RCA
- The Hisense has bluetooth, the RCA does not

Overall the RCA is pretty good for the money. It has a pleasing picture with no major flaws. I wouldn't choose it for my main TV, but for casual viewing I think it would be fine. For movie watching you would definitely want an external sound system.

Personally I chose to keep the Hisense and return the RCA, but given the substantial cost difference, I wouldn't blame someone for choosing differently.

Picked up one at the only Target that had any left in town.

Features:
3x HDMI inputs (1 labeled ARC, the others HDCP 2.2 4k @ 60Hz)
1x composite (no component) with stereo audio input
Ethernet
Analog audio headphone jack
USB port
Optical audio

Box is about 57" long, had no problem fitting it in a hatchback with the back seats down.

Picture looks great, albeit bright at default settings. Of course blacks aren't as deep as OLED due to not having local dimming, but that's overrated IMHO, especially considering the sub-$300 price. Pay $1k for a marginally better picture? Nah not worth it. Roku is ok, I'm not a big fan of that ecosystem but it works fine. They bundle in a bunch of free streaming channels similar to Samsung. Won't look gift channels in the mouth.

The only knock against it is the audio has no bass. Not surprising for any TV. Get a sound bar if bass is your thing.

Please tell me you're joking. You could donate $ to MSF or something to help people who really need help, but you donate TVs to Americans? This must be a joke
Can't believe he didn't donate them to the minimum wage nba players.

No streaming of Chrome tabs, but casting from apps like YouTube and Apple Play are supported on Roku TVs.
Can you cast from pornhub? Sounds like a ymmv.

When was that, 1986? Same with other former heavyweights -- JVC, Toshiba, etc.
No rca was still making top notch crt tvs around 2000. In fact they were selling two of the best 32 and 36 inch crt sets around that time. I think they supported 800x600 which was really nice for a large crt back then.

Quote from kirbyparufo :
I would strongly recommend against this set, especially as a primary TV. As another poster said, it's not going to be a quality set. The RCA trademark is owned by Curtis International, who makes the set. I've seen way, way too many reviews demonstrating horrendous QA on Curtis's part to ever consider a set they produce. There are endless reports of RCA TVs arriving with cracked screens, lines on the screens, not powering on, etc. Even if it works, you'll likely be dealing with more dead pixels than you'd get on a better TV, worse blacks, bad panel uniformity, etc.

If you just need a dirt-cheap TV for secondary usage (guest room, exercise room, etc) and don't care about it looking good, it MIGHT do the job. Just know what you're getting into and be prepared to return it to a store if it is dead on arrival or has serious defects (both issues are more common with RCA-branded TVs than other brands). Warranty service if it fails out of Target's return period is going to be basically non-existent (you need to ship the TV back at your own expense, which is extremely cost-prohibitive).

I'd probably spend a little mode to buy a better, more reliable TV from a reputable brand (even as a secondary set).
If those issues exist you can just return it

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'm waiting for the slick deal on purchasing the rights to one of these brands. They're getting dirt cheap.

Just got this tv for its price…lesson learned. Got it for a video games room and then after about two hours of playing Forza Horizon 5 on the XBOX X horizontal lines showed up on the bottom part of the screen. Thought it might be a bad HDMI cable but netflix and streaming video apps all had the lines. Its about 1/2" of lines on the bottom of the screen. I so wanted to like this deal.

Bad luck unfortunately. Every manufacturer has defects, even big names like Sony and Samsung. Count your blessings that it's still in the return window. I'd get another in a heartbeat.
After a few days this one's working fine. Hope it holds up for a long while.
