Man, you all are talking me into the cheaper route

Posted on August 21, 2026 at 06:37:35 PM by Damaniac

I can also think of what my dad would do, which would be to buy the cheapest TV, but also on clearance, partially used, at some shady discount offbrand market 90 minutes away. Ok, maybe that's too far.

Back to the board

The TV is again dead. I've got to get it good and buried before it has another chance to cling to life.* - By Damaniac August 21, 2026 at 05:50:18 PM
- Sony Bravia’s are the best at upscaling 720 and 1080. - By jlcpoux August 21, 2026 at 06:57:18 PM
- i bought this TV . Not too expensive seems fine - By Cincywolve August 21, 2026 at 06:04:44 PM
  - I think some of the Samsung/LG OLED models in the $1200/1300 range, or else i'm going to go that route and grab a decent-enough one that's on clearance for like $400 - By Damaniac August 21, 2026 at 06:08:16 PM

    - Might be worth it to go to a Walmart or Best Buy and stare at the wall of TVs for a little while, see which one looks best to your eyes, and go from there.* - By SmilingChewbacca August 21, 2026 at 06:41:22 PM
      - Yeah, already started that at the BX. Probably the approach I'll take.* - By Damaniac August 21, 2026 at 06:47:25 PM
    - Just my personal opinion but I feel like with the higher end TVs, it's cool for like a week and then you just get accustomed and don't even really notice the difference from those even half their cost. But I'm also the guy who doesn't notice what jerseys we're wearing... - By jjwalker August 21, 2026 at 06:24:26 PM
      - I'd be fine buying a $200-300 tv.* - By el fuego August 21, 2026 at 06:35:14 PM

        Mine is fine ….but I have to say I noticed big difference with World Cup and sports. Everything else not really* - By Cincywolve August 21, 2026 at 06:48:18 PM
        
        Well that's just it, sports is like the thing I care about. - By Damaniac August 21, 2026 at 06:50:51 PM
        
        It will be bigger and better than what you had* - By Cincywolve August 21, 2026 at 07:11:35 PM
        
        My toshiba fire TV was like $300 and I have zero interest in replacing it. The user interface is excellent too, it has all my top shows from all the apps available at a glance, all in one place.* - By jjwalker August 21, 2026 at 06:47:34 PM
      - I am the same (on TVs, not uniforms). If you buy the one for $1400 instead of $600, how much better is it really after you get it home. And a year later, the $1400 TV will be $600 and there will be a newer better version for $1400* - By Rich August 21, 2026 at 06:30:54 PM
