Ok, I just finished my basement man cave and need a TV to pull everything together.
I would like to keep it under $400-$500, which I think is realistic with current prices.
I don't need a smart tv, because I have a PS3, and was thinking I can just get a roku for $25 if the PS3 is not adequate.
I currently have a 40 inch Samsung in my living room, which I love, but I want to go bigger with this tv and the 50-55 inch Samsung's are over the budget I have in mind.
I found a 48 inch Vizio for $299 at Best Buy - does anyone have experience with Vizio? Thoughts?
I found a 49 inch LG, but after my last LG tv and LG washing machine I swore I would never go LG again. Both were terrible. Although, the LG TV was purchased way back in 2006. After about a year or two there was a pink line down the screen.
The other budget brands seem to be Insignia, Sharp, TCL, Toshiba, and Westinghouse.
From my googling it seems like TCL and Vizio is preferred. But, the TCL scares me because everyone seems to say picture quality is mediocre, but they love it because the built-in roku. Vizio has good picture quality, but not many bells or whistles.
Is UHD or 4K worth the extra $100-$150?
