Help me pick out a new TV

[Marko]

I’m looking to upgrade. I Still love my older 40” LED Samsung smart tv.

But, I‘m Looking for something similar. At least a 55 incher. Probably bigger. Has to be wall mounted. I just bought a new Xbox One X. So which TVs look good with the new Xbox? I Was thinking Vizio or Samsung. Moderately priced.

I don’t have a Costco membership yet. Is it worth it to join to get a good deal on a new tv?

I also would need it installed.

I picked up a 65" Samsung Q7 Series TV 2 months ago. Absolutely love it. You need to decide if Dolby Vision is important to you as Samsung TVs don't support it.

Budget?

I won't get into specifics until that is established.

Also, dont bother with anything other than 65" or bigger.

Pretty sure all flat TV’s can be wall mounted. Save the couple hundred someone is going to charge you to hang it. Do it yourself It’s a piece of cake to hang

 

[Mook]

Ya, mounting tvs are pretty easy.

I’m not sure. Budget around 1k.

65” sounds awesome and it definitely has to work well with the new Xbox one X.

Man, not getting dolby vision seems like pissing money away (in my opinion at least). Samsung QLED is really nice and can almost go toe to toe with OLED, but I cant believe they still dont support DV. Insane.

If youre budget is 1k, I would look into the newest TCL tvs coming out, or the current 6 series. It supports DV and has great reviews.

Vizio's P series also supports DV and typically has good reviews as well.

NOW, it should be stated that Xbox games (as far as I know) ONLY support HDR, not Dolby Vision. It DOES support DV for streaming apps, like Netflix.

If you are only interested in gaming and could care less about future proofing yourself, a QLED is definitely a great option.

Also, apparently Hisense sets are actually really nice. I dont know much about them but Ive read they are actually pretty legit.

I dont follow QLED prices too much, but I'm guessing a 65" is going to be over 1k.

Thanks brother. I appreciate it. I still love my old LED Samsung. So a QLED Sounds great

Should there be good deals now or not Because the Super Bowl is coming up?

 

[Mook]

There are typically good deals to be found around the super bowl, for sure.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Vizio, check Costco.

 

[Mook]

Just a FYI, a TV not supporting Dolby Vision does NOT mean you wont be able to take advantage of HDR. DV content will just default to HDR...so you'll still get the benefit of better brightness, color, etc etc but just now the extra layer of shine that DV brings.

 

[Marko]

So. You guys like QLED better than OLED ?

My 55” TV, 3 yrs old “Good Friday” purchase, just took a shit.

How is the Visio “M” series?

 

[Mook]

Decent. Its meant as a budget line.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Decent. Its meant as a budget line.

Thank you. Thoughts on reliability (5 yrs or longer)?

 

[Mook]

I bought my mom an M series back in....2015? Its still going strong but to be fair, she doesnt watch a ton of tv.

 

[Marko]

This one is at the top of my list. I have to check the same equivalent one Samsung brand though at the stores before I make a final decision

[Mook]

Give me a budget. I"ll juice you up.

 

[ZXMustang]

Get the big Vizio from Costco. Their return policy is 10/10 for TVs as well.

[Marko]

Do you guys buy the maintenance plan from the stores like Best Buy when buying a new expensive tv?

 

[Mook]

Nah. I did have to use my warranty with my LG but I havent had issues since, and I have a ton of viewing hours on it....4852 to be exact

I’ve had good luck with my 6 year old Samsung Smart LED TVs. Knock on wood. And they’re not easy to sell. Lol. Was asking 100 bucks.
