If I use gift cards for half the price, and I get the warranty, do they pay out on the full price or only the credit card portion in case of warranty claim?

3. It seems like when people get the TVs shipped, they arrive cracked. I'm only working with a sample size of two here, but I bought a $250 Hisense TV from Best Buy on Black Friday 2020, and a $228 TCL TV very similar to this one from Wal-Mart on Black Friday 2022. Both times I used curbside pickup and had them load the TV into the back of my 2013 Ford Escape, screen side up (if anyone drives one, a 65" TV will fit with like one inch of width to spare). Both survived 20-30 minute drives home. Without getting too long winded, the point is if you have a car big enough to fit it, you should absolutely use curbside pickup instead of getting it shipped.

When I ordered the 50" onn TV a few weeks back for $148 shipped from Walmart they delivered it with a Uber-type driver from a local store and it was perfect. This was the normal shipping option on Walmart. YMMV, but "2023 Walmart" might finally have their act together and ship locally. The tracking for the driver even updated real-time on Walmart so I could meet them at the end of my driveway when they arrived.

Does anyone know if this TV has auto-brightness dimming based on the brightness of the room? Thats one of my biggest complaints about my current TCL 55"— during the day it's on normal brightness but at night I literally have to crank it down to "low power" and "darker" manually in the menus otherwise it's like staring at the sun.

Of course when I wake up in the morning and it's bright again, I have to reverse the settings and put it back on normal/normal.

Gets old when you have to do this twice a day. Tried to find a happy medium but it's difficult as I have lots of windows my bedroom and at night I use blackout curtains.

Yes. 200x200— looking at it on the spec page on TCL's site now.

Also good because it shows dimensions of the stand spread and actual height and width with and without the stand… and she barely fits on my dresser with 6" or so to spare on each side. Just the way I would like it.

Likely it does. But it defaults to being extra bright, or defaults to changing based on the scenes being displayed instead of the extrlernal lights.

Their website has specifications for VESA mount.

I am assuming this TV is going to be better than any 12 years old TV.

Just breezed through checkout for one with 5-year warranty. We have had to use the warranty on TCL's before so I'll risk the $8/year.

Bought with 5 year warranty plan. Can I cancel warranty plan without cancelling the TV purchase. I think, we will have return window to cancel warranty plans right?

Maybe there's an easier way to cancel but here's what's online:

How do I cancel or return my Walmart Product Care Plan [asurion.com]?

Within 30 days, please bring your receipt to the store where you purchased your plan. If it has been more than 30 days since you purchased the plan, you'll need to send us a written request that includes a copy of your receipt and the plan's terms and conditions.

Is it worth it if we are using it less often. I am still planning to get a 75" TV as main TV eventually and use this in another room.

An uber type driver delivering a tv Id rather have a shipping company do that.

Not sure for your case, but as it gives me piece of mind for the next 5 years (and we have kids that will likely be using it more than us) I could justify it.

This will be replacing a much older power-hungry westinghouse in the basement for casual use, but given that I've had to do 2 different warranty replacements with Walmart over TCL products in the past I want to be covered.

The main issues I saw with previous TCLs were issues with red colorizations or static on the panel, though not sure how they have been in recent years.

That said, it was indicated that you could cancel the warranty within 30 days of purchase, so I reserve the right to decide later in the month I dont need it after setting it up Smilie
