DriftBusta Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I had some expense money to use up so just picked a Samsung 65” display monitor with it to replace the 55” we are moving upstairs. Wife put the Led strip on the new tv since the pic was taken. Before/after 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 55 vizio for the last 5-6 years or so and it's been good but not a fan of it's interface either. At the time i wanted a matte screen because of the # of windows so it was that or sharp. Just bought the daughter a TCL for school since all she will do with it is netflix/hulu through the ROKU, i also have 4 insignia/dynek or whatever the fuck the bestbuy house brand is which have been fine. Going to do the TV shuffle, new 65 in the family room, move the 55 to the living room and the 49 from there into my bedroom since i can't read the screen of the 32 there anymore.

XCR1250 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 The word is that Android TV Boxes are legal to purchase and there is no illegal element attached to it if you are using them at your home. ... For example, if you are streaming or downloading certain content that is copyrighted; you may be entering the illegal territory of using Android TV boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Got those old 720p 40" Visio that has been great. Could probably find one of those for like $50 on the Facebooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted November 19, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 19, 2019 I have Samsung, Vizio and an older Lg. All have been very good and everyone has their opinions but Im a little more partial to the Vizio and am currently looking to buy another.

J. Jackson Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 When buying a tv it all starts with an S. Samsung for budget and Sony for no budget. Too bad you still can't buy a Panasonic plasma which is arguably the best thing ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I had to buy a new TV right before we left AK and headed south. Normally my TV budget is $2000-$2500. This time I went for super cheap. Found a 65” TLC 4k ultra HD at walmart for $448. Brought it home, plugged it in and Im very impressed with the overall quality. super easy set up browser is simple to run. All the APs run very fast for the money its a great TV I replaced a 75” Sony Bravia 4k ultra tv I had originally bought in 2017 for just under $3000. The Sony fell about 4’ to the ground during the earthquake last year. The upper right corner of the screen was broken but the Sony worked for 8 months after it fell then got worse until it wouldnt turn on For $448 the 65” TLC 4k is pretty bad ass 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looking for a new TV--but on a budget. My wife's been hinting about one for a while now so that's likely what I'll get her for Christmas. She wants a 55" I believe and a Smart T.V. so she can watch the video of the music she is listening too. I also think it would be great to use a laptop and have the T.V. become the screen. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
