I’m not looking forward to replacing my dumb tv when it finally dies.

Even though those show up on their website, none of the 4K models are available on Amazon/Walmart or at best have very limited/erratic stock. I only see the 75” one in stock, and only on Walmart. Furthermore, they are just simply worse quality than a comparably priced smart TV. For the same price as their 55” 4K HDR TV you can get a TCL that’s also QLED and has local dimming, plus HDMI 2.1 and google TV do you can put it in a dumb mode anyways. So really there isn’t a great reason to get one of these.

Don’t sweat it. Just get what’s on sale.

They’re all the same.

There’s only one reason I’d opt for a high priced name brand. And that’s the ability to apply filters to everything you’re watching.

Imagine watching Ace Ventura but every character has the Chad Face filter on.

A few ideas to consider in this kind of situation:

If you watch broadcast TV, consider stopping. Is it really of any use? Could your time have better uses? Maybe you’ll never need that ad stream.

If all you need is a display for console/computer/media box, get a display instead. No tuner, no networking, no ads.

They don’t make 77" monitors

At that point, just get a projector. You can have whatever size you can fit and the picture is still decent as long as you’re not in direct sunlight
