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

you don't have to use the smart bulllshit.
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.

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

They’re a little bit better if you just never connect them to the internet.
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.

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.

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.

Does that attitude work for you? In general, I mean. Doesn't seem very effective.

I'm not an "imagephile", my eyes can tell the difference between 4k & 1080p but for a 45 min TV show I couldn't care less if its in standard def.
We have an HTPC handling all media including TV recrdings so I took a USB with a few media files of differing qualities & tested them on TV's in the store - no way I'm buying a TV without seeing how it handles everyday stuff that isnt the ridiculous over bright awful motion smoothed in store demo scenes.
I'd never use the "smart" features of a TV, that thing is never going online.
Last 3 TV's have been Panasonic. One of them was a lower priced set but still fantastic picture. Not the best UI & to be honest a nightmare menu system but excellent panels & no ads or BS in the UI.
The way the tech overlords are heading I'm not looking forward to replacing our set when it eventually needs it

This assumes that the reviewer who gave the rating wasn't considering value as part of their scoring. I'd expect the reviewer to be scoring a TV based on his good it is compared to similarly priced competitors, not comparing to every other TV on the market
