A few short years ago, the difference between top HDTV brands and smaller no-name brands was huge. Shoppers had no choice but to decide between expensive high-quality TVs and low-cost, low-quality alternatives. Here in 2015, however, the TV market is completely different. Prices have dropped across the board, but quality at the low end of the market has been steadily improving to the point where you can easily find a decent TV with a large panel for just a few hundred dollars.
Case in point: The TCL 48FD2700 48-Inch 1080p LED TV (2015 Model), which is now just $360 shipped on Amazon.
