Amazon Not Selling TCL TVs Anymore?
1395698
I purchased one through Amazon-----the unit did not work. I spent quite a long time waiting for the TCL customer support to answer the phone. The voice on the other end was difficult to understand----she eventually got all my information then gave me a number to the "higher" customer support. All I got was a recording for nearly an hour, then a female voice stating she was currently out of the office. I left a brief message,then tried the "higher" customer support number again. After a nother hour of recording, the phone clicked off. I have made arrangements via Amazon to return the set.

I too saw on the LG site that this was an Amazon rather than LG decision. Really disappointing - I'm coming up on renewal time for my Amazon prime and may just op for Netflix instead, where I don't have to buy extra equipment.

No, I've had mine for most of the year. It came with an Amazon icon on the premium tab, along with Netflix, Vudu, etc. When you clicked on the Amazon icon a screen message popped up explaining that Amazon would be available in a future update. A month or so later I got a message about updating the firmware and let it do that. After that there was no longer any Amazon icon at all. There has been two more updates since then and still no Amazon Prime. There is probably a conflict between LG and Amazon since they both want to sell content and apps.

Forget about TCL. I bought their 40" TV 2 months ago. After a month TV is not starting and I'm not able to reach TCL support: 1st line support have me to contact 2nd line - I spent hours on hold and until now was unable to talk to 2nd line support. They do not answer emails set to their support email, they do not react on comments entered through their web site...

Amazon and TLC are completely negligent for still having the firmware update on their websites that breaks your TV! Come on guys, can't anyone have enough thought and initiative to take it down? Is there someone, anywhere that is a thinking employee?

Come on! $200 bucks!! just drop the price so you guys can sell more! Volume sales! Dont be like Bestbuy and be a sell out

Not working on my set, so I must have the funky firmware version. But I can still get the Amazon content on this set via my old Roku. The box shows Amazon icon, the TV remote has an Amazon button, the Smart TV Menu at the bottom of the screen has an Amazon selection, but the button sends you to a black screen and selecting the icon from the on-screen menu results in a message that Amazon content is not currently available but that they are working on it. I'm sure I could take it back to Costco, but it is a great TV otherwise, and I have the Roku workaround.

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

Word is that it is no longer on the site because the new models are supposed to be released soon. I have been watching the price for a while too, and Amazon's is about the best at the moment, though you can watch Slickdeals.net forums for new deals.

I highly doubt Amazon.com will be carrying this since it's the 9 series (premium line). For instance Best Buy doesn't even carry this; only their High-End store-in-a-store Magnolia does.

I was passing time and looked up this TV on the Sony site to see what the cost is now because I bought it in December '08. I really like it and was surprised to see that Sony has discontinued it. It's disappointing to find my expensive new TV already obsolete. Anyone know why that would be, especially so soon? It's gotten good reviews.

I have the same question. It seems out of stock since last week. Not really sure what's wrong with Amazon right now.

Sounds like a simple question but I have tried out so many products I will need to check. I think it is at the lake house. I can watch amazon on my Panasonic Blu Ray player and on on Roku, I also use slingbox so I just watch my tv at home at the lake. I know I bought it but drawing a blank right now. I will get back with you.

I had received a email from Amazon Tuesday 8/23/11 advertising this TV for $598.00 at a whooping $11.00 savings, so I put it in my cart to purchase later this week. I was shocked to see today that the price jumped up this high (738.95) in one day! I did check with Sam's Club and they have them with free shipping for the $598.00 price. What is up with Amazon?

I have watched the last couple of days, and it is available, then not available, then available again... Now it is back ordered. What is going on with Amazon? It used to be reliable. I am beginning to think I need to start shopping elsewhere, too.

Not with the Amazon Prime App. Amazon supports all the tvs made in 2009, 2010, 2012 and beyond, but none for 2011, including this.
