    What do you think about TCL TVs?

    I usually see that TCL TVs have good reviews, but you can also find unhappy customers with negative reviews, so it’s hard to say.

    What does it mean that 50UP130 has a vesa mount?
    lindsey
    over 1 year ago
    A VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) mount is a standard mounting interface for attaching a display device, such as a TV, to a wall mount or stand. The VESA mount on your TV is typically located on the back of the TV, and is identified by a set of holes that are spaced apart from each other at specific distances.
