Picked up a Sharp 50“ for $400 at Best Buy. Good enough.

I'd have preferred a better brand as well, but as little as it gets used, it's not a big deal. It doesn't have any smart tv functionality, but it isn't needed as we can't get anything other than dial up or satellite internet up there anyhow. We replaced an old 27" tube tv, so it's a massive improvement even if it is an Emerson.

Ya, that makes sense. They watch theirs several hours a day. They hardly ever watch TV in their living room. Interestingly enough, it's a Samsung 46“ LCD that has crapped out on them. It works, but only after 5-10 minutes of loud, fuzzy screen and flipping it on and off to get it working. Samsung came out and replaced some stuff for free, didn't help, then replaced some parts at about $100 cost, still didn't work, so they declared it unrepairable. It's about 7 years old. It will make a decent garage TV.

Looking for something better than Emerson. No way I would have dealt with Walmart (or any other place) on Black Friday this year. Plus, didn't know they would need one. Theirs just quit working. That's cheap as hell, though!

Should have bought the Emerson 50" from Wally world on Black Friday. I think it was like $218. We bought the 32" version for the farm house for $98. I don't have any complaints for it's intended use. We just use OTA up there, and I was surprised with the picture for the money.

Funny, the company I work for buys hundreds of LEDs a month online and very rarely have any issues.

Anyway, I'm looking for a good deal on a 50“. Doesn't need any fancy features. Christmas gift for the in-laws for their bedroom.

Newegg said should only be another week or so before I get my money back. Yeah, great customer service.

But the Sharp from Best Buy seems to kick ass. For $400 its not a bad TV. 3-HDMI, optical audio out and the backlit LED/LCD looks pretty nice. Not 4k nice, but not bad at all.

Kmart

Thing only has one HDMI input.

Also only has a digital audio out.

Well I guess remote splitters and D/A converters are cheap these days.

If you have a decent home theater setup, that's all you need. Run all your sources to your receiver and run HDMI from there to your TV for video. It's just a monitor at that point. You won't need the audio output at all.

Love me some projection tv

Well he has been enjoying the 50" Sharp backlit LED/LCD I found him for $400. Newegg has yet to give me a refund but at least they have had the TV over a week for "inspection".

[LaserSVT]

Top is OLED. LED is still just LCD.

At any rate he got a backlit LED for a good deal.

Plasmas are dying out, Samsung doesn't even make them anymore, the current top dog is led.

Led > plasma

Why's that?
