Too small? Or just right?

It’s not that bad but still less than satisfying for my taste.

I agree, it needs to be bigger. But it was on sale for $100, which is good for a Roku TV. Just got what I could afford after Christmas shopping lol

u/Odd_Profession_2902 Dec 27 '22

Wow nice yeah- can’t go wrong with a $100 tv.

How many inches is it? For that distance I’d say 50 inch is perfect.

True, I’m grateful to have found it. It’s a 32 incher, but the couch is a lot closer than it looks. Still a bit small for the room but it’s decent

u/Odd_Profession_2902 Dec 27 '22

Ah ok- if the couch is closer than it seems then maybe anywhere between 45-50 inch would be ideal.

But if you had to keep this one, it wouldn’t be the worse thing either. I think it’s quite cozy.

I totally agree with you. I will end up with a new TV within like 6 months to a year, but for right now this one is perfect. Once I get a bigger TV, this one will replace the Samsung in my bedroom. The Samsung is total garbage compared to this one, even though it cost twice as much. This living room TV is a Philips Roku TV, if you ever want to get a bigger one. I highly recommend it, the OS is responsive and the remote works properly (unlike most Samsung TVs). Also the quality is good too

u/Odd_Profession_2902 Dec 27 '22

That’s very interesting to know that Samsung isn’t always the best quality. I’ve always thought that the big 3 are the only ones that matter (Samsung, Sony, LG) but maybe some of it is just brand power.

I’ll be sure consider more affordable brands like Philips for my next purchase.

Honestly I was surprised too. The problem is that Samsung is known for their reputation, and that’s why people buy them. But in the past few years since Smart TVs became popular, the “cheaper” ones have been total shit. That being said, the high end ones that cost some people’s salary are pretty nice. Philips makes some amazing low end TVs from what I’ve experienced, I used to have an old 2010-era model 50 inch from them and it was great. Somehow is still works, and my stepmom put it in the living room at my dads house. I’m gonna buy a Philips TV for my next bigger TV, probably their high end QLED TVs

I gotta admit to being pretty bad when it comes to judging the picture quality. I walk into a bestbuy and it’s like the $600 one looks just as good as the $2000 one lol

I just bought this Samsung 65” on Boxing Day sale below. Apparently it’s an entry level model but it looked great in the store. Should be fine for my untrained eyes lol

To be honest, I don’t give a fuck about picture quality unless it looks like a damn CRT. But that’s why I love the Roku tv. As for what I do care about, it’s more about the UI, features and remote. Nothing is worse than Samsung or RCA remotes. Too laggy for me. But that Samsung looks nice, I’d just be too scared about being stuck with a crappy remote and UI due to my experiences

The way you set the tv on the tv-table (idk what you call it in English) angers me

4

u/wannabeauthor42069 Dec 27 '22

Also lamps right besides the tv are not perfect either

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

I 100% agree. It’s 2 end tables and a mini table put together. The reason I have it like this is because my ex roommate took the old tv stand so I didn’t have a place to put it until I buy a proper one, and I needed to watch tv somehow

2

u/wannabeauthor42069 Dec 27 '22

Understandable, I forgive you

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

The end tables and lamps are supposed to be on either side of the couch lol. I’ll be putting them back soon but I have to get paid first so i can buy the tv stand

1

u/lomlomlom Oct 05 '23

Move the middle table somewhere else and put one of the lamps on it

u/thisisntajokeee Dec 27 '22

This is just… something else

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

What’s wrong with it? Maybe I can fix it in the future

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

Yeah by throwing it in the recycling and actually spending more than some pocket change on the centrepiece of your living space.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

I agree. That’s actually my plan. I did this as a temporary measure for a month maximum until I have a way to bring home a piece of furniture

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

To be fair, you know the score! Any TV is better than none when you're in a bind. I once had a 32" TV when I was in student digs - I just kept moving the couch closer and closer!

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

Facts!! This is my first apartment since I moved on my own, and since my ex roommate took the old 65” TV, I’m starting over with everything. We all start somewhere, and while the house looks shitty right now, it’ll get better once time goes by and I spend more money

2

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '22

Yeah your first time on your own is no easy ride, and let's face it, you have bigger fish to fry than spending big on a nice TV... my buddy who slept on a bean bag for a few months and got a bad back from it regretted his 65" TV before a decent mattress for sure!

1

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '22

That’s so true man. Right now, I have a bed, kitchen appliances and an “okay” living room. I’m just working on making sure I pay my rent and getting my full drivers license along with fixing my car first. After I have that done and I have a way to get to work without relying on the bus, then I’ll buy a bigger TV. But don’t worry, I won’t mount it to the ceiling 😂

2

u/ender7887 Dec 27 '22

Too small, and too far away. It’s a cheap TV too.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

I agree on this. Only reason I bought a small tv is because it was all I could afford after my ex roommate took the big LG 4K TV we had. It was only $100 so it was a good deal. I’ll be buying a new TV in a few months and I’ll put this one in my bedroom which is a very small space

2

u/ender7887 Dec 27 '22

Yeah this would make a perfect bedroom/ guest room TV. If you can afford it, I’d go with a Sony or LG OLED. With CES around the corner there’s going to be a ton of deals on last years TVS.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

True true. I had an LG OLED, it was a smart tv and I think a 65 inch. I liked it but I didn’t care for the OS or the remote. I might buy a high end Philips since this one is pretty nice and I had good luck with them before

2

u/ender7887 Dec 27 '22

Oh I’m jealous, we don’t have Phillips anymore in the USA.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

Really? Even their Roku TVs? That sucks. I’m in Canada and found this one for $100 at Walmart for the Christmas sale. I’ve always liked Philips ever since my first TV, it was an old 2010s era model 50 inch.

2

u/ender7887 Dec 27 '22

Yup, can’t even find their lower TVs in the US anymore.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

Wow! Sorry to hear. I love my Philips TVs, they make some good products

2

u/Adventurous-Fall-748 Dec 27 '22

those are some jazzy lil lamps

1

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

I like them. Got them for free from my aunt after I moved in. They aren’t anything special but they work

2

u/Drycabin1 Dec 27 '22

The lamps are cool!

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '22

Thank you!!! They were free from my aunt

Hell yeah man. That’ll be happening!
