The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

[Sully]

Last time I TV shopped, Costco didnt have great prices. I bought a 55" LG from HH Gregg, I think, they had one on sale in store for around $600.

Sans sale, they seem to be pretty much the same at least with the Vizio. They have last year's model for $200 less than Vizio lists it for and I've seen them on sale before. I'm not sure about the other brands cause I'm not seriously looking right now.

One thing I'm pretty annoyed about is somewhat misleading or spec omittence from TVs. And this is all manufacturers. It's really difficult to find the detailed specs on most TVs and the product lines are so close on specs but so far on price. I think Samsung is even worse because more lines but for example, Vizio. The m series is the middle of road product line and is 4k HDR, x number of dimming zones (which is hard to find depending on which retailer) but a big thing that is usually absent from overview and sometimes even specs is that only one of its HDMI ports supports it's capabilities. Now the p series is like $500 more but has more dimming zones and all but one of its ports is the needed HDMI format. But even that isn't really advertised.

Most of the time they don't even list which series it is in ads or sales. I mean I obviously get it's to reel you in and then if you talk to a salesperson (which isn't really even a thing anymore) they'll try to upsell you. Or alternatively, the average buyer who doesn't know or research see a a big ass TV for a small price (relatively) and thinks they're getting a steal but really they're getting some piece of shit that was outdated a year before they even bought it.
