Best time to buy a new tv?

[AutoMechanic]

TCL in my opinion is great. I have a 50 inch in my room. Much clearer image than my parents Philips TV.

I ordered the one from Walmart. Same model as this one in the Pic. $143 for 8 more years?
Yes please.

You could fit at least a 65 there

TV's are cheap all year round. I'd spend a few bucks more and get a Samsung or LG.

imo, LG is junk and I don't like Samsung's UI. On a budget, it's hard to beat TCL and Hisense. If you want something a little higher end, Sony is the way to go.

You could cancel the order and get a screen large enough to extend to the edge of the table. If too late to cancel, you could order the larger and return the 43. .02

Yes as you missed BF.

I thought they determined the best deals are long after BF now. They simply hype BF in order to convince people things are cheaper? Barring some door buster of which they have 2 of something - or the perennial $9 crock pot.

Super Bowl timeframe is supposedly the best deals on TV’s.

The best time to buy a new tv is just before superbowl Sunday if you can wait till then. Next best is just after Thanksgiving.

I have heard from sales people in the consumer electronics industry that the best time to buy a new TV is just before Super Bowl.
Not kidding!

TV has shipped but Walmart chose some independent shipping outfit called ontrac. After reading reviews I'm expecting the TV to be stolen or damaged ATOA.

You must live out west, surprised you haven't encountered OnTrac before. Never had an issue with them.

I'll give them a chance but they have 1 star reviews

WalMarts website is saying delivery Wed the 30th. The ontrac website is saying 12/30/2026.

How can walmart be this disorganized?

Sorry I went missing. Half the family got sick from a Xmas party the family had.

But my TV showed up from lasership a couple days ago and it works just fine.

It works but the dang internet is slow as can be in my apartment complex so no apps are working. Gotta love apartment life
