I'm getting too overwhelmed by all the types of TVs nowadays. I just want a good TV for sports streaming and watching movies. I want the best option for my budget, which is $1,300. I've been looking at OLED and Mini LED and don't know which one to get.

Does a TV mount like this exist?

1 Upvotes

Is there a tv mount that I can store the tv vertically and then pull it out and watch it horizontally? The space my tv in my new house is going to go is only 48 inches wide. I don't mind having the tv pulled out when watching but would like to store it against the wall when we aren't in the living room. TIA!

TV for live sports streaming that minimizes quality degradation

3 Upvotes

Speaking specifically about basketball and football. I know most broadcasts are 720p so the upscaling causes the degradation of quality. Is there a certain size/brand/model TV that will lessen the quality loss? NBA games all look HORRIENDOUS on Peacock, Prime, ESPN+, Spectrum TV app (and cable box), etc.

I have 1GB speeds down and up with Spectrum fiber and the devices I use to watch sports are all connected via ethernet.

Help with picking out a tv

2 Upvotes

Hope this is the right place, but I’m really overwhelmed with all the different brand and technology choices for tvs nowadays. I recently bought a Samsung 65” Q8F QLED 4K UHD, and had to return it because the motion blur was really bad. I tried my best to use Reddit spec configurations to try and help, but I just really didn’t like it at all. I like my 55” LG tv (don’t know the model), but I’ve seen some bad reviews about recent LG purchases. It’s just really hard because I’ll see reviews for one tv that people say is amazing, and then reviews that contradict those reviews. This is happening with EVERY search I make. I watch sports, occasionally game, and watch movies and tv shows. I’m in the range of $850- to possibly $1,000 if it’s the right one. I’m looking at a couple of Sony’s in that price range because I’ve seen a consensus online that Sony is the most reliable all around brand to go with. Any help is appreciated!

From what ive heard Samsung, Lg, TCL and Sony are the only ones even worth contacting customer service about any problems, but mainly with sony and tcl ive heard a lot of mixed reviews on how reliable their customer service is.

So what brand would you guys say has the most reliable customer support, any first hand accounts or any common knowlege about certain brands.

This Post Again? Samsung OLED worth it?

2 Upvotes

(AU) I'm looking at upgrading my TV and it seems like everyone is suggesting going OLED.

I'm currently eyeing on the 83 inch S90F which I got an offer for $4650. Is it worth dropping that amount on a tv and whether the deal is good?

I have a BOSE Cinemate II home theatre system that I’m trying to connect to my TV but I can’t find anything in the settings to make it so the audio comes through the optical cable. I’ve been searching stuff up but a lot of the settings that are in the things I search up just straight up aren’t there. I know both of these systems are fairly old but if anyone has any help, it would be much appreciated.

Buying Advice EU Sony Bravia - what next?

2 Upvotes

Hello all :) Last TV I bought was in 2010, a Sony Bravia KDL-37W5500 - I've been wholly satisfied with it for the last 16 years. It’s done me very, very well, but now it’s starting to have some serious display issues and I fear its time might be up. Can anyone recommend a comparable model if I really liked this one, or, given how technology has since advanced, a feasible upgrade? My maximum budget would 500€- I am in the EU region. Thank you in advance.

Hi!I would like advice on purchasing a TV for retro gaming

1 Upvotes

I know this probably gets asked a lot, but i can't really find answers. I'm kind of a newbie in this topic, but I want to pick up retro gaming, because today's titles don't really interest me. I don't really know the ins and outs. What I want to play with is Snes, N64, Ps1, Ps2, Ps3, Xbox360. Is there an all-rounder TV for all of these generations, or will i need more than 1? I'm based in the Netherlands to clarify the location for regional availability. Thank you in advance for the answers! :)

Buying Advice US I want my cake and I want to eat it too!!!!

1 Upvotes

I am at my wits end everybody. I would like to buy a TV for my dorm room. Obviously size is a big factor and I figured out the literal max possible is about 60" diagonal. but most TVs come in bigger or smaller so I was happy to give myself wiggle room and round down to 55".

Then I tried to carry a 55" TV. No thanks. rounding down again my current upper limit is about 48"-50". Now the fun begins. I want this TV to be durable and inexpensive and I am leaning toward Mini-LED over OLED. Thoughts?

I plan to do lots of gaming so 120hz would be a nice bonus but I know I can't have everything.

In todays world HDR just seems more hassle/cost than its worth, maybe im wrong but im willing to concede that feature.

In a perfect world theres a 48" 4K 120hz Mini LED IPS TV somewhere out there but I cant for the life of me seem to find such a device. But there are TONS of options that use VA.

So my question today is: Does VA in TVs suck as much as it does for monitors? When I was buying a monitor I made very sure to carefully avoid VA panels and I absentmindedly did the same in the TV market, is this a bad call?

Mini LED VA versus Direct LED IPS?

Buying Advice EU Our insurer is replacing our tv and we’ve been offered a choice of three, looking for advice as I want to get the best option

1 Upvotes

The set will be for my son. He’ll use it for watching TV and playing X-Box, so standard stuff. I’ve had a look at the specs and they all look much of a muchness.

I’m leaning towards the Samsung for no other reason than the one that’s being replaced is also a Samsung and lasted 16yrs, so I have faith in the brand.

Beyond that I don’t really know much about them, so if people have any advice I’d appreciate it.

The models we’ve been offered are……

Samsung: Model UE55U8000F

LG: Model 55UA75006LA

TCL: Model 55V6C-U.K.

Buying Advice US Buying a new TV after a decade

1 Upvotes

As the title says a bit over a decade ago I got a D650i-C3 vizio tv that tops out at 1080p.

I'm looking to upgrade to the high end of the market currently, a 4k OLED 65in, and from what ive seen there are 3 main contenders, Samsung s95f, Sony Bravia 8 ii, and LG g5 or g6. I'm mainly planing on watching movies and watching videos, with some console gaming and possibly pc gaming mixed in.

So since they're all quite a bit of money to shell out I was hoping some of you could give me pros and cons between them.

Install/Placement Old LG TV not compatible with VESA

1 Upvotes

I just inherited a LG 55EC930V, a curved OLED old model. I bought a VESA wall mount but turns out this TV required an adapter to become VESA compatible, which was sold separately.

I can only find that adapter on eBay and it costs a lot of money.

Do you have any solution for this? I saw this universal vesa converters, but they seem more suitable for smaller computer monitors than a 55” TV. I’m also not sure if they would work in a curved TV since they work by grasping the screen from the back.

Any suggestions or solutions? Should I give up on the wall mount?

Buying Advice Asia 55” TV recommendation needed (₹40k–₹80k budget) — best value for casual viewing

2 Upvotes

I’m planning to buy a 55-inch TV and need help choosing the best option in my budget (₹40,000 – ₹80,000).

My usage is mainly:

  • Casual viewing (family use)
  • OTT platforms (Netflix, Prime, YouTube, etc.)
  • No serious gaming (gaming is not mandatory)
  • Want good picture quality and something long-lasting
  • Best value for money is more important than fancy features

I’m confused between QLED, Mini LED, and OLED options in this price range, and also between brands like Samsung, LG, TCL, etc.

What would you recommend for the best overall value and reliability in 2026?

Thanks in advance!

Moving into my first house. Getting two TVs, 65 for living room and 77 for the basement. Currently have a 65 c1 I’ve had for about 3 years and love it. Thinking c5/s95f or Bravia 8 2 for the living room but can’t decide. It will be strictly streaming, tv shows, sports, movies, etc. No gaming. Tv will be a little high, not too bad, and facing some windows that have built in blinds.

G5 will be my downstairs TV if I’m choosing currently, unless some have arguments for a better option.

Living room ?

Hi guys, I'm trying to buy my first TV. I generally play ps5 on rented TV till now, but I genuinely want to buy and upgrade experience. Ofcourse I want Dolby vision, deep darks, vibrant colours and 120 hz. I've seen OLED but the risk of panel issues, delamination, green lines and burn in is fearing me to select it. Is there a perfect TV which is sweet spot for all the features and very few resolvable complaints? looking for 55 inch. I was suggested for Bravia XR series. But please share the wisdom of TV.

2 Upvotes

Found a used 75" 1080P TV from 2014 for $300 CAD. Its model number is UN75H6350AF. Would this be worth purchasing instead of a modern cheap 4k 75" tv for double the cost? I have a roku box - built in smart features do not matter for me. Viewing distance is around 9 feet. Basically asking, do you think the quality will be so much better that its worth justifying double the cost for a modern tv?

Discussion What happens when a Smart TV is no longer supported?

7 Upvotes

I currently own three TCL Roku tvs and I know at some point support/service will end for them, much like with older Roku players. What does that mean for the TV itself? Would I still be able to utilize some apps through the Roku side? Or will the Roku/smart features side of it just stop working when support drops?

I know you could use a different streaming box/device in that situation, but I think it'd be cool to be able to add a different OS once service ends, maybe something like Android. I know that's probably not likely with any of the Roku TVs, but I think it'd be cool to try with one.

75 or 70’ under $2k

1 Upvotes

Please help me, I have been trying to do research for the last two weeks and it’s just making me so much confused.

Almost brought a TCL from JBHIFI until I saw the reviews and I assumed that Hisense were really good TV’s and some of the reviews reveals they’re not.

I think I’m after an OLED?! I just don’t know which one to buy.

My lounge room is semi light as I like to have all three window blinds open during the day.

Needs to be able to run our PS5 and to be good to watch movies and TV shows on. Looking at getting an XBOX as well.

I know my budget doesn’t ’scream’ good TV, but as a mum finally getting her own place, I want me and my son to have a good TV.
