Are TCL and Hiesense good TVs long term?

For full context this TV would go in my Living Room, i'm looking at a 50-60 inch 4k TV. I know those brands of TVs are cheaper, but are they going to last long? I know I could get a Samsung, but I remember Linus picking a TCL tv over the lower tier Samsung but that was 3 years ago. I'm really not trying to go over $430, But if there's something really worth it, I'll consider going over that

the higher end hisense and tlc are actually pretty good.

low to mid range thou they are cheap for a reason. theres a lot of cost cutting.

go to rtings.com and check out their reviews

Hisense and TCL often do well on RTING's ratings in the value areas. 

I had a $300ish cheapo special TV last 10+ years without issues. My best guess is that if you're not placing the TV in a hot area that it'll PROBABLY last ~10 years. 

Displays are pretty darn reliable these days as long as you're not buying a $200 40" TV and hoping it'll last. 
If a display DOES fail, it'll likely be within its warranty.
