Are Expensive TVs Actually Better? An Analysis of TV Prices and Review Scores
-
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.
-
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.
-
fuck all the way off asshole.
-
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
-
Rtings.com scores do not include price as a factor. Scores are calculated by multiple test results.
-
I opened my smart TV and removed the Bluetooth/WiFi PCI card that was inside it.
Good fucking luck connecting to something you privacy invading piece of shit.

I keep mine chained up in the basement when not in use.

To be honest, I recently got a TCL Roku TV and I almost gave up on trying to use it as a dumb TV. I'm not a beginner at this, but setting up a network connection was so embedded in the initial setup, from the moment you turn the TV on. I did a couple factory resets and I could not figure out how to bypass it. Turns out I had to set it to "store display mode" at a certain point and then connect my other streaming device.
-
Yeah, the Roku OS is REALLY baked in there and REALLY wants your data, and they recently updated it to make it even harder to circumvent. The trick is to just block its connection at the router level.
-
Oh my god that didn't even occur to me. Maybe I am a beginner!
-
disengaging from assholes, absolutely it does.
