Smart TV question

[txrhodes]

I would stay away from 4k. It's really just a marketing gimmick that looks pretty when you are at Best Buy standing in front of televisions. Real world use makes 4k pointless, unless you just want the latest and greatest.

Samsung. Or Best Buy's house brand, Insignia, which is made by Samsung. Any TV you get needs to be 'tuned' so the color, shadows, depth, etc. are correct like they are in the stores. Find the settings online or BB will come to your house & do it for a fee. It makes a HUGE difference!

A lot of Sony's actually use Samsung parts

We replaced everything with Vizio. Samsung and Sony's kept breaking down with the slightest power surge (got hit by lightening twice) and it didnt affect the Vizio. The 60 smart version we have is great. The 24 smart one has more bells and whistles than the 60!!

I am not a TV guru but I bought a Vizio a few years ago. I had a problem setting it up. I called the 1-800 number in the manual. An American answered the phone and there was no hold time. He spoke perfect English. He walked me through the problem and I bet I was not on the phone for 10 minutes. I was so impressed with that I told myself I would by another Vizio when I upgrade.

Same Here. They are watching it not me. Don't see how others say they look the same as the others.

We have been pleased with our Sharp Auqos TVs. Picture isn't like 4k or plasma but HD is HD to me. I have to admit I don't spend enough time in front of a TV to tell much difference between brands of the same type. Price wasn't really a problem when we were looking but they were still a bit cheaper than others and have been great so far and Ive got 3 of the 60" in the house.

This...got a 60" Sharp Aquos 60" before Super Bowl on sale for $599 a couple of years ago. Not the best but pretty good for the money.

I have a 55" vizio i paid less than 400 for and a 55" Sony that i paid 2000 for and they bith have great pictures.

Either way a sound bar or speaker system is a must.

You couldnt give me another Samsung. The Sony we had was a good tv but not as good as the Vizio we bought to replace it.

Ended up going with a 55" sony bravia 4k UHD. Couldnt be happier! I went to alot of stores and looked at alot of TV's and the sony was the one I thought looked best. You should spend some time looking at the store and comparing picture quality and maybe another brand looks great to you....also stick with the TV manufacturer for the sound bar it makes life alot easier.

I have 5 tv's in my house and they are all Samsung's. Never had a problem with any of them.

we are looking at getting a smart TV, been looking at several different brands in the 60-70 inch range. LG, Samsung, Sony, Vizio

Looking for opinions on different brands, models, experiences, ect.

I've had my 55" Vizio Smart Tv since '09 and its been nothing less than perfect! its a 120Hz and 1080p. CNET just picked Vizio as the best TV of 2015 and its won other awards as well. I have a total of 7 Vizios throughout my house and each of them are fantastic 4-32" 2-47" and 1-55". I'll be getting the 70" 4K in December. its got very good reviews

So did a little research before going back to Best Buy and the Sharp was out.

Found two other samsungs that I drove into town to look at. Long story short, they didn't have the samsungs in stock.

So as I was walking around I saw the scratch and dent with a 65" Sony Bravia 4K. There is a scratch on the screen so the guy at best buy was very nice and pulled the TV out for me to see. the scratch was noticeable and we turned it on. I could se it so I kept telling the guy to just put it back. He insisted that we look at one of the demos, once he put it on a demo the scratch went away.

So it was listed at 1200 and the mgr took another 10% off. so I bought a sony soundbar and he took 10% off that. All in all I got a $2000 tv and a $400 sound system for $1500. Call that a win for me!
