RCA Entertainment Series

The RCA Entertainment Series is a low/middle-end model of television set produced by Thomson SA, then TCL Corporation using the RCA brand name from 2001 till today. It replaced the upper middle end Colortrak model produced from the 1970s to 2001. It is not considered to be as high-end as the Colortrak because it had essentially the same features as the Colortrak; features which, by the 21st century, were no longer special at all.

RF input

Apparently due to a bad solder, the antenna/cable inputs of many models of RCA TV's, including the Entertainment Series, would occasionally disfunction. The station being watched would seem to cut out and the picture went to snow. Wiggling the cable sometimes cured the problem, suggesting that it was just a bad connection. The problem was common and widespread enough that it actually led to a class-action lawsuit. This problem occurred in other models of RCA TV's, too, such as the high-end Dimensia model. All TV's from this time were: 480p
