I would recommend against spending a lot on a tv. They are constantly being updated so what is expensive tech today will be affordable in a year or less.

That being said, OLED is kinda the latest technology, but getting to the cheap stage. It's a middleground and there's not much more waiting to be done. I either buy one now or wait and end up lusting after whatever replaces it. It's a tough call. I've already been waiting years.

Need? Of course not. Want? Oh, I want one so bad.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...E&gclsrc=aw.ds you're still getting a great picture at a great price. I have a Vizio that I also use as my PC monitor and it's great. I probably won't buy another tv until this dies or I retire. at some point the tech will get so cheap and what's available now will be light years better anyways. but what's the point? you could probably get that tv you bought now for free if you'd just haul it out of someone's house for them. you've just got to pick a point where you think the value and cost meet at the optimum points. otherwise the paradox of choice will consume you. :p |

I'm still rocking a 40" black friday special from 6 or 7 years ago LOL. Paid under $400. I mostly just play Assetto Corsa and the graphics kind of suck anyway .

People still use the channels built into the TV? I haven't used the tuner on a TV in 20 years or more.

I think that sums up most of my posts.
Honestly have no idea how it works anymore. I haven't had cable in just about as many years and have just been streaming whatever I want to watch. |

I have an LG 42" purchased in 2011. Paid $700 for it. Everytime I walk into Costco, I see the shiny new TVs on display but have no use for one... |
