Can you blame him though? He lives in Texas. If he were to walk into a Texas Home Depot, I'm pretty sure they would only stock trailer home panels, cinder blocks, and longhorn cattle skulls as building materials.

Just get the exact opposite of that plained says.

i.e. don't buy Sony

The age my kids are at there's zero point in getting a new TV. When I do it'll be a 4k OLED. even the cheap ones kick the shit out of any LCD. The DMAX is awesome.

i am loving my cheap and good lg 55lk520.

very very tidy picture when a pc is plugged into it.

the ota pan am games look fucking awesome on it

women's volleyball etc

English at last.

There's always large LG displays demoing OLEDs at Heathrow and they look awesome. Couldn't get over how good the image quality is for the money.

Samsungs are pretty solid. Vizio if you're poor.

What are your thoughts on refresh rate? I was reading on that website, and apparently it doesn't even really matter. Not an actual (visual) difference between 60 and 120+. I'm still having a hard time looking at anything that isn't 120 or more...

TV's don't accept anything above 60Hz, and their so called 120hz that they advertise is just frame doubling done by complex algorithms. It personal preference on which frame doubling tech you like. Motionflow, Cineflow or whatever each company likes to call theirs is something completely different than a 120hz PC monitor which displays true 120hz from a source.

I got a Sony VPL-HW40ES 6 months ago and stream to it using a Raspberry Pi. It is so fucking good.

Before it we didn't own a TV and I hate how they dominate living rooms. This is mounted high on a shelf on one side of the room discretely and I put a pull-down screen the other side which when it's rolled up you don't notice. It's quiet, massive and super fucking quality. I really enjoy the pantomime of the preparation of watching a film involved with it. It makes watching something a proper event rather than just something to pass the time. Gotta get some proper 5.1 sound sorted next, at the moment I'm just using the hifi.

I never have liked the soap opera bullshit. So I guess I could go with the 60Hz and be just fine...

Until someone presents another opinion you can take as your own.

LOL at any projector that isn't laser powered.

I know the suspense is killing you all, so I'll let you know. I went with the Samsung UN55JU7100 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV.

I also went ahead and ordered an Xbox One while I was at it...

[seremtan]

thank god, i can breathe now

[vileliquid1026]

I'd say get a 60" t.v. for about $1k or less.

I expect nothing less from this group...

Amen

He spent all the money on that pool, what did you expect?




I was going to suggest Samsung, they are always my go to. My current living room TV is an LG (a gift) but I am happy with the quality of it.
