Who makes a good TV?

[Cropduster172]

If you get really critical one thing you’ll notice on a very good TV vs a cheap TV is gradient color banding. Another thing is peak brightness. Cheap sets do a poor job on those two things. There are other things of course. I gave my nephew a 65” Hisense U7H which is a good TV for the money. I think the newest one today is the U7K.

I bought the 75" U6 6 months ago. Great TV and picture. The Google OS isn't my first choice, but it does have it's good points if you're an Android or Google device user.

Those really were the days my friend!

Up in the North East "The days" would be the late 80's.

Nakamichi OMS 5A CD, Bedini 802 or Eagle7A, Martin Logan or Magnepan with Monster M1000 or CARDAS wiring.

If you can barely lift your amp without throwing out your back - then it's likely got some real current dumping capability

Pick one you like the picture and has the fewest features possible in today's world. Want a smart TV, get a Roku. Want great sound, get a soundbar or surround sound system. Keep the TV as close to a dumb monitor as possible. Pay for it with a credit card that doubles the manufacturer warranty, then pay off the card before the due date.

10 years ago I would agree but its Not possible these days, all good TVs have "Smart" built into them. Only TVs that don't are ultra budget ones.

I've had two Samsung TVs over the past 11 years. Neither one have had any issues and the picture is great. I should caveat that with that I don't use the "smart" part of the TV. I use a fire cube for streaming.

Debating TV repair rates is not unlike discussing vehicle reliability.

For every owner who has never had an issue with their Samsung, there are those who remember when a large portion of their model line suffered from capacitor failure, and necessitated an expensive service campaign.

When the Samsung in the conference room went on the fritz, company owner was expecting to have to buy a new one, unaware of the issue.

Scheduled a free, on-site repair = happy boss. Repeated practice had rendered the task a quick and efficient process for the tech.
