I bought the $188 one and it was trash. Straight-on viewing was ..ok... but anything at even a slight angle and it was awful. This is the 55S41 $188 on Nov 8 or thereabouts, that I'm micro-reviewing.
I took it back, and I'll keep using a 2010 Sony; the Sony was superior.
I have a TCL 55" 4 series since they dropped to $299… like back in 2017. Used in bedroom so it's only straight - on viewing, room isn't large enough to test wide angles. But we have been very happy with the TV at price paid.
"The Hisense R6090G is better than the TCL 4 Series/S435 2020. The Hisense gets brighter, has slightly better reflection handling, has a quicker response time, and lower input lag. However, the TCL has much better out-of-the-box color accuracy and much better gradient handling."
However the tcl 5 series is better and there is a Best Buy deal for $200 for a 55". So it depends if you want a bigger screen or a better quality smaller screen
Test equipment can spot a lot of flaws. But our eyes have very short memory. Without side by side comparison or freeze frame analysis, a mid-level TV isn't 25% better than an entry level TV. Viewing angle is less of a problem with a big +65" TV. Same with black level unless the room is totally dark. I would only spend the big bucks if I'm a hard core gamer.
If the TV is well designed, then it should have low power consumption. Less stress on the power supply and other internal components.
Same price I paid for the 50" version back in March at Target and enjoyed that unit so far (8 months). This is mighty tempting but I'd need a wall mount or new TV stand. The urge to buy is strong! lol

Thanks. I ordered the element. Reviews aren't great BUT...if you look closely at the reviews they aren't even for this TV. I have a different element Roku tv and I've used it for about two years now with no issues.
you can return the service contract digitally, then purchase the 5-year.
No they don't prorated just because time has elapsed.
Your maximum benefit for the service contract is the actual price you paid for the TV itself.
Meaning if you have a minor repair they will take that repair cost and subtracted from the overall price you paid on the TV.
That means if there was a service tech that charged labor besides the part that would be deducted from your lifetime benefit.
So let's say you had $100 repair and then the TV failed the maximum you're gonna get from the warranty is your purchase price of 228 minus the $100 they put into the repair.
Like I said main boards screens etc. all cost big-time money. If something fails on the TV they are likely just gonna pay you 100% in full minus the contract price.
They don't even send anybody out to investigate and diagnose the problem they'll spend a little time with you on the phone and then make a determination.
So, is it possible to return the 4 year and then purchase a 5 year for the $39? I suppose wait until the TV is picked up to do this to not risk cancelling the entire order?

Yes I know its very easy to remove/return the contract within the walmart app. At this point it won't hurt just to take delivery and then do it after. You have 30 days or so to purchase the service plan

Which one is better?

In regards to receiving the item, it showed it was in stock at 2 locations close to me but the earliest pick up date is Friday Nov 25th.
Since it shows in stock, think I can go in-store and try and get it early? Or are they shipping it to the store so I can pick it up Friday?
Any input it appreciated.
Thank you!
