My TV is failing on me, picture giving me problems, I thought my eyes were getting worse until I realized it was the TV , not me
I'm not completely ignorant on the subject but I Know there are plenty of people here with far better knowledge about electronics.
What I'm replacing is a 32" Samsung that I bought from Walmart about 8 years ago for around $250 if memory serves, I'm sure it's just 720 pixels , the price was low then
I could replace it with another Walmart cheapie a similar enough 720 pixel set is $89.99 shipped.that's a Sceptre brand item, I could go all the way up to a 50", 1080 pixel set in that brand for $199.99 shipped
I know a lot about how Walmart operates, I used to work for them. They are so big they can get manufacturers to custom make stuff to their specifications, usually the model number starts with wm. You therefore can't compare their prices to any other retailer because nobody else has the exact same item.
What I want help with is some of the terminology now in use, like class HD, FHD, 4k and so on . I know about pixels.
I don't believe I need a smart TV. The things I care about are picture quality, a decent enough sound , as long it doesn't sound like a cheap clock-radio that's good enough and price
I'd like to do this in April my budget is already stressed that month with an unplanned bill coming, I can swing no more than $200 for this or wait until May . I don't want to wait that long, I can't deal with this picture much longer.
I really don't need a hugs TV, perhaps upsize to something in the 37-40 inch range. I am tempted by the Walmart Sceptre 50", 1080 pixel deal, 50" is the max size I'd do. I am reluctant to buy electronics there, not my first choice. Some people will buy stuff like this anywhere.Occasionally the grocery store I frequently visit offers a big screen TV like a 50 or 55 inch at a low price and they have a pallet of them on display. I think to myself who buys their TV at ShopRite ? But somebody does.
Another issue is the plethora of brands to choose from, there are all kinds of brandnames I never heard of offered
It is a daunting task to decide on the right set for you, so a bit of research can't hurt, it's hardly a major purchase these days when electronics are so inexpensive.
Any suggestions appreciated
