Quoted from Noobee:I was wondering about this. My router is on the main floor. Running an Ethernet cable might be problematic. Is there any issue with length of cable?
Get one with wifi. I have the LG 4K 50" and its wifi is great. All the streaming is good. No buffering at all.
Quoted from jawjaw:Wireless should be fine on any tv. My whole house is on wireless and it works fine as long as nobody is using up all the bandwidth. I helped my dad get a tv recently and was surprised on how much tv you can get for the money. I wouldn't spend to much and just get something that looks good. In a few years, there will be stuff that looks better and cost less anyways.
Agreed. I've bought the best of the best before and it's overrated. Everything is so damn good now that buying economical models of good brands is the way to go.
Quoted from Whysnow:sad to see nodoby has said it yet...
Screw the TV and buy another pin!
How much TV do you actually watch? In out household it is under 2hrs a week. I would rather put my spare $$$ in more pins
Ha. Our house it's on unless we're sleeping.
Quoted from dmbjunky:OLED is amazing. I'll never buy another TV unless it's an OLED or a cheapy for the shop.
But is it really that much of a difference than a nice LED 240 hertz tv? I'm having trouble noticing bug jumps in picture quality anymore.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Buy something big and cheap. Don't be stupid enough to buy an "extended warranty." Even if it breaks in 3 years you'll be better off buying something new that's bigger and cheaper.
I only get Best Buy's black tie service and only if it's the tippy top dollar tv. Also because I can usually haggle it to be included with the purchase.
Quoted from Procrastinator:I bought a warranty one time in my life and it was on a $3500 Samsung. With 3 months left on the warranty, a board went out in the tv and Geek squad wasn't able to repair it after trying 3 times. Best Buy finally gave me a full purchase price store credit for $3500, after owning the tv for 3 years. Not a typical warranty replacement, but I was pretty impressed. Tv's are so durable now a days that I haven't bought another warranty since, but sometimes it can definitely pay off.
That's exactly what should've happened. If they have to repair the tv three times you get store credit for the full purchase price. Pretty much the only extended warranty coverage I think is worth it. Basically no questions asked.
