Anybody worked one of the newer (Chinese TCL) RCA's? The set goes through a self test at turn on and takes about 3 or 4 seconds longer than most modern sets to come on. It's neat to realize it's self-testing, but with most having bad flybacks when you get them in for repair, the set can't tell it has a bad flyback....
Cheers,
