I've been out of the loop for years, or when we bought our Sony Bravia about 10 yrs ago so I have some educating to do, which this thread is helping with.

Also looking for a new TV--but on a budget. Earthquake insurance is available but its very expensive and it has very high deductibles and you need to have up to $100k worth of damage before it will pay anything depending on your policy. Obviously there are lots of different insurance options out there but for sure, earthquake insurance is very expensive and very few people have it.

Their 4k smart tv’s are very good for well under $500. I’ve owned the very best tv’s from Mitsubishi, Sony and Samsung. I paid $6800 for my first HDTV from Mits. You dont need a better tv than the TCL. Edited November 19, 2019 by AKIQPilot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet in a few years the tcl and visio apps won't work as they don't update much to support newer version apps which stuff like netflix etc require. Then it's just a regular tv at that point.

XCR1250 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 UHD (Ultra High Definition) technology provides a sharp, crisp and immersive viewing experience by squeezing 3840x2160 pixels onto the screen compared to 1920x1080 pixels on an HD TV. SUHD (Super Ultra High Definition) combines UHD resolution with a Nano Crystal display so that SUHD creates an even greater spectrum and more accurate reproduction of colour.

We can order stuff online usually for black Friday and pick up in store. I did that 2 years ago on a Samsung tv. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
