Are Expensive TVs Actually Better? An Analysis of TV Prices and Review Scores
-
I bought a Roku smart TV 65in like 5 years ago. Light as a feather and never gave me a minutes trouble. Think I paid like $300 for it.
I’m in the same boat, bought a Samsung 40-something-inch smart tv for around $300 maybe 6 years ago off the neglected “small TV” aisle. It has some bloatware, but it’s never been an issue after configuring a few settings. I’m guessing if I went for one of the floor models, it’d have been a problem.

They’re a little bit better if you just never connect them to the internet.
This just doesn’t seem to click for a lot of people for some reason that I cannot explain whatsoever. I don’t even have mine connected to electricity when I’m not using it.

Even then you still have a bunch of cheap hardware crammed into an insufficiently ventilated box that will lead to problems down the line.
My TV is 15 years old, not very smart, thick as oatmeal, but works like a charm.
you don't have to use the smart bulllshit.

sorry but if you can't tell the difference between a nice OLED and an average LCD then you need your eyeballs checked.

It's still there, though.
And since it's usually one integrated board, a failure in the "bullshit" will likely affect the not-shit.

It’s not just about oled vs lcd. There’s a huge difference between backlight arrays in cheap lcds vs expensive lcds. And there’s still benefits to choosing lcd over oled. Either way, some people just don’t care about image quality. I have a friend that claims he still can’t tell the difference between dvd and Blu-ray, or 4k Blu-ray.

Mine gets put in the garage when its not being used. Microphones to record you can work on battery ppwer.

Exactly what I did. I'd get a 65" monitor if there was any. But an always offline smart TV will do.

The more expensive it is, the more ads and spyware it will have.
They all have it.

this is just pure speculation. if they design the boards to cool properly during the warranty period it'll be fine after that too.

sure, it was just an extreme example. the point is the article is nonsense.

I'm still rocking a 2011 38" vizio from Costco. Does everything I need, nice and dumb, as a TV should be. A bigger and higher def TV won't bring me more happiness, so I'll be sticking with it until it quits and I can't fix it.

It might be kind of helpful for like a portion of the population. Maybe.

There’s plenty of people in this very thread who are super proud of their 7 year old $300 nameless small tvs

maybe if they said "expensive TVs are not worth it for some people" but 1) that's not what they said, and 2) that's obvious and doesn't need analysis anyway.

Read that statement again and ask yourself, if it really makes sense .

unnecessary disrespectful bullshit.

unnecessary disrespectful bullshit.
It's the maximum amount of respect you can't expect for posting nonsense.
Why on earth do you think something keeps working just because it survived the warranty period? That doesn't make any sense.

I'm picturing a big screen on the old school TV carts.
