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. Thanks, Tom. I will have to look into things further but I know, or think I know, prices up here are likely a lot more expensive? 1 hour ago, Kev144 said: Yep better to get the manu that has better os support for the future. 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. Good points. My wife was looking recently at Costco and said she seen some real good deals. I wasn't interested at the time so I have no idea what a good deal is anymore? When is Black Friday? Is it this coming one or at the end of the month? Here's some, but I have to figure out what size to go with. I think a 65" where she wants it is too big? https://www.costco.ca/4k-tvs.html?screen-size-class=65-in&refine=ads_f142568_ntk_cs%3A%2265%2Bin.%22| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. A droid based tv would have more apps for better integration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When comparing prices I found Best Buy, Costco and just about anybody that sold them were within $20-30 of each other when shopping model for model. They make it tough as Costco and Best Buy will often have the exact same TV but with different model numbers. TV's are virtually on sale all the time. Kind of a scam. The fantastic Black Friday deals always seem to have the fine print somewhere that says "While quantities last". And they have 1 or 2 in each store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR1250 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I've bought them on-line and saved as much as $800 from box store prices, sometimes takes a week or more to get them..And they were not from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecat Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Just a FYI boys. Power supplies go in many flat screens today. You can easily change them out for less than 50 bucks. We had 5 32” Vizeo flats around our plant for security monitoring. When one stopped I did some research and found a video how to on YouTube. It took less than 30 minutes to replace.
