Anybody have any reviews on this TV?

How is it both LED and LCD? It's an LED TV which is good - but who is TCL?

LED is the backlighting technology... it still uses an LCD to control the image, color and contrast...

I was concerned with TCL as a brand as well but recently bought a 32 inch (new) tv for the bedroom. So far everything has gone smoothly.

I have the 40'' version of this TV that I got from Amazon two Black Fridays ago. The speakers are mediocre but everything else works great. I would definitely buy another.

@bsalamon: could not find reviews for this model anywhere online! :/ It's backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, by the way. "Limited warranty, 24 months for parts and 24 months for labor."

I just had to laugh because who makes a 39 inch TV? :-) Somebody forgot to measure twice and cut once.

Have the 40" LCD I purchased after Christmas .. No problems with this item - I prefer the sound from my receiver, but roomie is satisfied with the audio on the unit..

I just went through to purchase this and found two hidden items. First they charge sales tax on this which comes up to about $25 on a TV. The free shipping requires that you buy a $50 membership with tigerdirect. Otherwise to Georgia it was going to be about a $25 shipping fee for ground. Final price for a no-name tv was going to be about $350. Worst Buy has a 39" brand you have heard of, RCA, for about $325 that with tax would come up to the same price and you can get it the same day and have a place to take it back if you have a problem. Just my 2cents! I was in for two of these at that price till they threw the two curveballs. :)

@tankstew: Shipping should be free. Make sure you select Econo shipping (4-9 days, residential only). The membership you're talking about (called Inner Circle) gives free shipping on all orders made at TigerDirect, but you don't need it because this item already qualifies for free shipping. After entering in your shipping information in step 2, check step 3 (the first option should be selected).

@tankstew: Also, the RCA TV you mentioned (http://reviews.bestbuy.com/3545/5395953/rca-39-class-lcd-1080p-60hz-hdtv-reviews/reviews.htm) is a regular LCD TV (lit by a fluorescent lamp as opposed to LED's).

Seems like a great price for a 39" LED not sure if its too good a price though.... hmmm it is definitely tempting.

Just picked one up. I remember reading that TCL actually used a Samsung LCD in their 40" TV (you could clearly see the Samsung logo through the back vents) Hoping this is the same thing. If not, it's still a really good deal since this company also sells under the RCA name

Just snaked one of these bad boys real quick! I was tempted on the last similar Newegg deal that came out, but Newegg charges CA sales tax, so no go...but Tigerdirect is $299 to the front door of any CA home. Helllz ya.

The price is up to 349.99 now.

@reeds101: I remember seeing the same thing on Amazon. If Samsung likes them enough to outsource to them, I'd say that's good enough for me. TCL seems like a good brand, and a great way to get a bargain on an HDTV.

@avenger885: I have a 39" TV. They are pretty common :)

Not sure whether to +1 @murixbob for telling us the price was raised, or -1 because I dislike that fact.

+1 to you, good sir. Thanks.

Perhaps we could let the OP @cornellbigred and/or @shawnmiller know and the price can be updated to $349.99?
