Bought a Samsung smart 60' 1080p 13 years ago for $2100. Sounds like alot I know, but that was aboit the going price for one at the time. It ran day and night for a family of 5 all these years, and was finally replaced last month with a smart 4K. It still runs and the picture's shockingly good, even compared to today's low-end 4Ks. Got my money's worth out of it.
I pick my flat screen TVs out of the trash. As folks buy the latest bigger screen TV they toss their existing TV. Only downsides (besides smaller screen size) are no remote and no manual. Cheap dedicated remotes can be bought online and manuals are also online. I have two 32-inchers and a couple 24-inchers plus a couple tube TVs; and by the empty TV boxes out on trash day I can anticipate my next haul. I know; I have no shame. And my wife hates me.
Haha, I can totally relate to you picking old TVs from the trash and I don't feel bad now because I often find great items in people's trash and have re-sold them for a profit.😄
As far as I'm concerned you're saving money and saving the environment from increased landfills that have items that are still have useful life in them
First second hand tv I bought in 2021 around Christmas time was not a regret its a 2019 lg 55inch it had like 1000hrs but presently it works like a charm and I take special care of her
Not a smart TV but I have a 32" 720p Panasonic TV with an IPS LCD panel in my bedroom that is now at least 20 years old and is still going strong. With the right video settings it's as good as a much newer 32" Samsung 1080p TV in another bedroom. I'm amazed that, not only has it lasted this long, but it still puts out a high quality picture so until it finally goes toes up, if ever, it's not going anywhere. .
I would Definitely agree with sticking with non smart tv an a lot of cheaper smart tvs seems to have issues my roku tv the picture went out and I could only hear sound but no picture Never had any issues with my old tv before switching to a smart tv My old tv was a Samsung before i got a smart tv had it at least 6 years and it still worked when I sold it at a yard sale then got a roku tv and I had same issue with 2 of them the picture went out and only can here sound I’m sticking with non smart tv i have a roku stick i can use
I purchased a 50 inch skyworth 4k android smart tv about 5 months ago & I have never had any problems with it . I also purchased a vizio 5.1 v51x-j6 soundbar with 2 satellite speakers in the back of the family room. Now my skyworth 4k tv doesn't give you the option to turn on & off Dolby atmos. My vizio soundbar is Dolby atmos ready. I am using the pcm In settings on the tv !if there is more people that have this tv, please let us know how your tv is. Skyworth tvs are not sold @ best buy & other big names ect...I purchased mine @ my local ABC Warehouse.

I had a Coby Brand TV that lasted 5 years. It was on 8 hours per day, for the last two years of its life. I did not purchase this TV, but acquire it from a relative for free. Cheap TVs can last 3-5 years. If, they are on about 8 hours per day. And set at normal brightness, screen cleaning, and given proper ventilation. Preventing overheating. If you buy 2 cheap TVs, you can spend less than one quality TV. And get as many, or more years of service out of them.
@jdslyman That's interesting. I had an instant on, Solid State, Sony Trininton TV, from the late 1970s, CRT. And it lasted 12 years before the picture tube died. I would have bought a replacement picture tube. But, it was not cost effective. I bought another Sony CRT. But, I got rid of it before it died. Most CRT TVs of the past lasted at least 7-10 years. Even being on 8 hours per day, seven days per week. I now have 3 flat-screen Samsung TVs. All of them 1080p resolution. The oldest one is now going on 7 years old. Still a very good picture on all of them. You did well, having bought a flat-screen TV in 2007. That's going on 16 years of service.
This video failed to mention cheap current smart tvs as their able to send updates to the tv after 1 year warranty expires that makes the tv a big ass paper weight. Why? They can only make profit from these “cheap” tvs if they sell a lot of them and they can’t do that if you’re not buying 1 every 2 years cuz hey 2 of these is still cheaper then that $1300 tv
My family has a 2018 LG TV that we bought brand new in 2018,it was on a massive sale from 500€ to 300€,it is a 43" one and it's 1080p,and tbh it looks very good,the colors are amazing and the speakers are really good imo,for my own room I bought a cheap 32" 720p TV,which is enough for me tbh,I'm also getting a Fire TV Stick soon,so it will make the experience better
The comment on brightness you made didn't take into account the very real possibility that a manufacturer overdrives the LEDs to market the TV as really bright (eg 350 nits). So *_just_* because it's bright isn't necesssarily a high value factor when considering a purchase. Overdriving the LEDs can make the images brighter...for awhile. LEDs DO degrade due to temperature and time used. I've also seen a LOT of people reporting their TV's LED backpanel fails in about 1 year; some brands worse than others. Either the LEDs themselves fail (which can take out an entire row or column of LEDs or driver elements (the electronics that actually controls the power to the LEDs), or even odd areas where unique array design is implemented. It depends on LED array and driver design). In addition, the LED power unit can fail because it has been overstressed by providing too much power to the LED array for too long a period of time. You can look at TV LED repair videos for more information.
I've been buying the $269 58" Hisense Walmart Special u6. Problem is, the Backlighting goes out in about 1 to 3yrs if your lucky. At that price though? It's worth getting it & throwing it away & buying another. It has a beautiful display & the loudest & most crisp audio I've ever heard on a TV! No soundbar needed but I added 1 just blow everyone out of the living room! I'm kinda leaning towards the U8H or the Samsung Curved TU-8300 55" now 😊
I have an old 720p TV with an analog tuner. I use it with another old laptop connected with HDMI to watch whatever I can have on the internet, that includes Netflix. I might use a set top box, but I really don't care since I watch TV infrequently and most of them are also available online. The TV is Toshiba Regza, but its colors are absolutely amazing! A friend got it for me from friends who wanted to put it in the trash.
they keep pushing how great the picture is but they may fail to tell you that the "over the air" tuner really sucks ....... if you are cutting the cable and plan to use an antenna tp pick up local channels then a tv with a strong tuner is a must if you don't want to pay for a high cable bill each month ....... TVs with strong tuners include Samsung and LG while several other popular brands like TLC and Hisense and tested poorly ....... at the bottom of the list for weak tuners are RCA and Philips ...... generally speaking the cheaper the cost of the TV is the better chance it has a weak tuner because they didn't want to spend the extra money on something you might not use
i have a samsung qn90a, has pixel problems a couple months after the warranty expired.. and i heard the qn95a/b has audio vibration issues because its poorly designed . buying expensive garbage sucks too
My Q70R went bonkers after the warranty as well, the reboot issue due to hardware issues... Even if i fix it, it's on the clock. It looks like going cheap is better, because if it prematurely dies on you, at least you don't feel that ripped off.
Bought my first Sony A80-J OLED about six months ago. I will always go Sony from now on because you can't beat the Google TV OS and OLED because of it superior picture quality.
i brought this tv a little over a year ago brand new and it blinked on and off by it self i was disappointed by it (Samsung UN50TU8000 50-inch 4K UHD Smart LED TV (2020) )
Chinese brands are low quality and don't last longer. Hisense is a Chinese brand and they're cheap electronics like TV, Fridges and washing machines. Don't waste your money when you buy cheap and crappy stuff, sooner or later you'll be disappointed.
The wrost mid range 4K tv ever is the samsung nu6900. Terrible. Wifi would go out all the time. Had to force restart the tv just to get wifi working.. 2nd user interface is so slow.. laggy and bad... 3 very bad blooming. Couldn't take it after the 2nd year I had it... Went to best buy explained to salesman I hated the blooming... and I said I want a tv where you get very deep blacks it looks like the tv is off. He got me to get a Oled. I opt into a LG BX Oled. And omg. It blows that shitty tv out of the water... faster interface... no wifi issues. Very deep blacks which I wanted... Dolby vision.. which I wanted as well. And it looks fantastic... now when I look at those cheap 4k LED TV's it looks terrible compared to my LG BX Oled...so glad I opt in to LG BX Oled...
Bought LG tv because of its features ,it’s crap sound is rubbish very very user un friendly,pain to get the picture on I should have spent money on repairs to my old tv NO instruction manual,no I do not have a smart phone
To me the Roku OS is one of the best OS's available especially for someone who isn't that tech savvy. Of the 3 OS's you mentioned Android closely followed by Tizen. Cannot stand LG products since a cell phone and a DVD recorder failed a week after the warranty ran out so it will be a very cold day before in hades before I will buy any LG products. Burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice shame on me as you will not be a third time. George
Lovely robot narrator...so is this a bot video made by an expensive low quality TV made by a guess linkable manufacturer? Buyer beware. Make sure it can be returned & check some reviews.

My 4K Samsung expensive TV lasted one month past its warranty. Since then I purchased Walmart 4K Roku HiSense TV. No regrets after 2+ years.
Had the same issue after fourteen months. Crap! I know own a Pioneer. So far so good!
I had two tcl TVs that both died right after the warranty was up. I now have hisense tvs. Had them for about four or five years now.

350 nits isn't bright by the way. It's about average for a monitor but now is sub par for a TV.

I use Apple TV so the OS is not on the TV, i.e. the TV is a TV and nothing more. Updates and transportability are easy.
Same here. The os on Samsung TVs is absolute garbage. My pair of HomePod minis sound great compared to the lame TV speakers.
One thing I agree with you on this subject and you don't get a grantee with them
I recently saw 55" TVs with the ROKU app built in at Walmart for only $298 ........ I wonder how long they will last ?
Maybe it will last one or two years.
I have a 32" Sylvania since 2008 and never failed me.
My 12 year old, $700, TCL TV is still going strong, amazing picture, old metal body not plastic 😊
Why did you not include Roku? You're the first person I've ever heard mentioned Tizen.
i brought this tv a little over a year ago brand new and it blinked on and off by it self i was disappointed by it (Samsung UN50TU8000 50-inch 4K UHD Smart LED TV (2020) )

Like Hisense with there ghosting problems and motion problems
I was just about to buy a 55 inch Hisense smart tv used till i went and looked up reviews on them. They are horrible! glad i did my research on them.

Gotta agree here. Once I bought the Apple TV4k all of the Samsung nonsense is no longer an issue. Added a pair of HomePod minis and I’m all set.
Samsung gets mostly highly favorable reviews, at least in their better models.
