Any experience with this brand ? I'm considering one in the U6 series, model 55U6SF. currently $430 @ BB

They seem generally well liked by many reviewers, get good scores at Rtings... I was always more concerned about claims of OS instability/bugginess.

We bought TCL last year, but it was a pretty close call between that or the same tier Hisense. I was considering the U8 against the TCL QM8K.

My little bit of radar on these brands says people tend to say they work very well for great $. I saw one at Costco the other day that was very low priced compared to my LG C5 in same size, but did make me think, did I really need the better blacks for that much $ difference?

Highly recommend purchasing an extended warranty with a Hisense. Last TV refresh I really wanted a OLED but was too cheap and bought the TOTL Hisense H9G which was getting all the great reviews. I bought a 4 year extended warranty because of allot of negative reviews about reliability. I got to use that warranty at 3-1/2 years when the TV developed a watermelon size brown spot (burnt backlight) in the middle of the screen. I finally ponied up the cash and bought a LG C4 OLED and have been extremely happy.

Those brands seem to be ok for the coin. I had a few Hisense TV's back in the day. They always had issues, but I didn't have the flagship of the Hisense TV's.

If my memory is right a 65" U6G? Anyways give it to my youngest grandson he uses it with his PS5. It has spot on it also had to unplug about twice a week No picture but would have sound. Only can see it with a full screen of a color yellow or white pops up full screen. Still going though. I had a TCL 55" QM7 really nice DV, poor upscaling on anything below 1080p. Give that one to my Oldest Son, his wife uses it paid 499 + taxes for it.

I'm sure you fellas already know Sony sold to TCL. Plus Sony was getting all their panels from TCL for there LED TVs. LG has China making their panels I think? read that somewheres I think . I believe Samsung is the only one left that make their own panels, not made in China now?

Wrong! LG make all their own OLED panels at a huge facility in South Korea and make Sony's OLED panels also. Samsung OLED panels are inferior in PQ and give more trouble. If you want OLED, and who does not? Your choice is LG or Sony. I think LG is actually the better bet.

LG still sells plenty of non-OLED sets, tho. Many call a set "LED" when they mean "LCD".

Yes they do, but I was just referring to LG OLED TVs. My view is that OLED if far superior to LED for TVs.
