Looking for a new TV

[Scott S]

I had a Samsung Q80B 2 years ago I loved the picture of the TV, unfortunately it broke in the move. I'm looking to purchase a TV, I'm looking to spend no more then $1500.
I would rather stay, with Samsung, LG or Sony.

What size are you looking for? What lighting conditions and use case?

I was amazed to see this at Walmart the other day:

I don’t know that its specs are that great. But if you can get that tv for $700, imagine how much better the $1000-1500 model will be.

I will add the less expensive OLED's aren't the best choice in a room with a lot of daylight exposure. If you want to drive yourself nuts, go on rtings.com

LG C4 77" should be in budget if you can find it in stock.

 

[dishdude]

Please don't buy an LG.

I need a bigger house...

I saw two different 77" Oleds on Black Friday special for $399. at Best Buy.

Sony over Samsung all day long. (imho)

Sony is HPL.

LG and Samsung are like Shell and Exxon.

That S84F above has a LG panel I think.

I won't buy anything but Sony. Buy the best biggest for 1500 you can find. Perfect time with BF deals.

Please don't buy an LG anything

FIFY

 

[dippschtick]

Please don't buy an LG.

I have an LG C7 and B8 oleds. Both 55". 8 and 7 years old respectively.
Both used daily and have been rock solid from day one.
LG washer and dryer going on 12 years and again, no issues.
I guess I've been lucky.

Added a Vizio 18 speaker sound bar

Kicking myself I didn’t buy the insta-break with the 2 year return warranty (and keep my old 50 in the basement for when it fails). Shown is lg and big Sam but there Samsung in similar size was a similar price And also insta break

That is being very generous to LG and Samsung.

I shouldn't complain. I've got a Samsung plasma downstairs that has been a trooper. It's been in use for probably 15 years. Never a problem. Even though it is old technology, it still has awesome picture quality. But from what I have read, I think I'm a lucky one.

I also have an LG upstairs. While I have had no issues with the picture quality, the smart tv functions have been less than impressive. I don't know how many times I have had to unplug the tv, to hard reset the functions. Most recently, the programming will freeze for short time.

We exclusively watch streaming programming on all our tv's. No antenna, cable or satellite.

My next tv will absolutely be a Sony.

If you've had a Samsung, better to stay with Samsung. Samsungs have brighter and more brilliant color vs. Sony. .02
