    VIZIO 65" Class P-Series 4K QLED HDR Smart TV P65Q9-J01

    Vizio did me dirty on a tv. But I’ve also had really good Vizio’s. So coin flip. But good deal.

    Is Hisense any good? I see some complaints about bad motion on that TV and things looking washed out at any less than 4K content. Any other good brands that don't totally break the bank?

    TCL probably gives the most bang for your buck.

    Sweet good to know.

    I've had a 43" LG WebOS TV for 6 years now that cost me $300 on Black Friday, and it's already crapping out on me. Large blue blotches on the screen that are only visible on white backgrounds. Super annoying. Hoping to find something that will give me a better experience and maybe a larger display in the 50-55" range

    I think I'm going with this when I finally pull the trigger. Would love an OLED, but just not in the budget right now. We have a TCL now and really loved it for the price, I think the Roku interface is the best and easiest to use and they've supposedly gotten a lot better since we got ours like 6 years ago.

    Ooh she's pretty. A little pricey for me though, I wonder if this budget TV would at least be an upgrade over my old LED LG TV

    I have points at work to get a $100 best buy gift card so $279 is a damn tempting price.

    The Google version is cheaper than the Roku version. I hear it's slower than Roku, but I wouldn't use the TV's interface anyways; I have a Shield TV Pro that I would just plug into the HDMI.

    “already crapping” after 6 years for 300 bucks? sounds like you more than got your moneys worth. You figure $50/year to watch tv is a great deal.

    Haha true I guess that's fair for the price. I'm still also rocking a 15+ year old 1080p Sony Bravia flat screen from Circuit City with absolutely 0 issues so I'm not used to TVs failing so quickly

    I also got a Sony Bravia 15 years ago. It lasted about 9, but by that point, I had already upgraded two more times. After buying plenty of $2-7k TVs in my 20s, I’m all about the 500-2k range and just upgrading more frequently.

    Is $1100 a good deal for a 55 inch LG OLED C2 EVO series?

    Oo that's hard, I always wanted OLED to have those pure blacks, but the Samsung TV is purdy too

    Ah, it's sold out anyways

    The Samsung does pure blacks too, it's just not as exact as the OLED. If you play / watch in a dark room, you can safely go with the LG. It's a wonderful TV.

  21. the LG OLED is, unsurprisingly, the best TV I've ever owned and I regret my purchase of the Samsung Frame TV. the picture is fine (hard to compete with the OLED) but the UI/UX are both a nightmare. it takes like 8 clicks just to switch inputs.

    Oh I don't care about UI, TVs tend to be security risks anyways. I use a Shield TV Pro with my TV and love it

    The TV input thing does sound annoying though

    My ex partner has a Samsung frame TV and it’s utter dog shit. I think the OS is fine however. But the image quality is abysmal.

    Funny cause I just bought a new Lg fridge and everyone told me to stay away from Samsung.

    My experience with Samsung refrigerators. and their customer support in relation to, has ensured that I will never buy a Samsung product ever again. Even if they somehow manage to outdo LG and Sony in OLED (but they won't.)

    Re: LG, specifically their OLEDs, my experience with them has been so good that I'm now considering furnishing my whole house with their appliances. I've had issues with my OLEDs, but customer support has been fantastic and been accommodating every single time.
