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.
I'm embarrassed to admit I made the same mistake when I set up the 55" a couple weeks ago. In my defense, I was setting it up in a fairly dark room at night and for whatever reason didn't bother to turn on the main lights. I was annoyed by the same sticker after picking on it for 15 minutes and figured I'd mess with it more the next day. I felt like quite the doofus the next day when the sun was shining through the windows and my mistake was more apparent.
Wait, you guys peel off the protective plastic? Sounds too risky to me. How will I remember the energystar rating. I will say this, I haven't peeled anything off yet til I get it up on the wall. Once I do, I'll let you know if there if a plastic layer over the entire TV, because it looks like it's only around the edges of the TV.
If you didn't peel a layer off the screen, then yeah, you still have something to remove.
I honestly think that some of the people saying they found the screen to be too reflective didn't remove the plastic.
I have this exact TV. Has 4-8 vertical black lines after 2 years. Unrepairable (replace the boards to no avail) But it's so cheap I guess I can replace it when it inevitable dies every 2 years.

Well, not this exact TV, seeing as how this exact TV has only existed for this black Friday
I bought the 65'' insignia from Best Buy. Many say it's Hisense but I just read the reviews and it's been the best tv up to date plus it came with a echo 5 show. I think the deal exists but there giving the echo 3 speaker now. If you buy through urlhasbeenblocked I think you will get some dollars there back too.
Delivered today and the screen is cracked on top center. When Fedex delivered it the middle plastic strap on the exterior of the box tore into it. The tv looked fine until I plugged it in and then you could see the cracked screen. Ughhh. I know it is an easy return but it will not be replaced by Walmart due to product unavailability.
Thanks. I went ahead and uploaded a copy of my receipt. That way if it does crap out in year 3.5, I won't have to go searching for it.
How did you buy the warranty? Under my "Subscriptions & plans ---> Protection Plans" it says - "Sorry, it looks like you don't have any eligible products."
