This happens a lot also with Black Friday editions of TVs. But, if you can make do with one less HDMI input and no ethernet, they're not terrible deals, especially if you're on a budget.
Look at the model numbers.. They have exclusive Wal-Mart versions of the same line of TV's

I saw some of Wal-Mart's versions missing like local dimming and instead being edge lit models in their line.. average TV buyer has no idea what difference the lighting tech of the TV makes on picture, they just see Samsung's logo and are satisfied
This is true of a lot of their products, including appliances, toys, etc. You just have to know what your buying and what the differences are.
i never knew any of this.... wow! thanks for the heads up.
you just have to make sure you are paying close attention to the model number
Yeah there are three LCD manufacturers on the planet. They may skimp on the other components, but it is Samsung, LG, and Sharp that make the panels I believe.
What I have to do is make sure I don't purchase TV's from Wal-Mart
At least not if it's going to be my main TV.
LG makes good TV's too, they just play catch up to Samsung on basically everything.. OLED for example.. Just when LG starts manufacturing some pretty good OLED screens, Samsung has already moved on to better tech that provides the same true black minus the terrible image retention.
That's the thing. I have six tvs set up in my house right now. A couple of them are older 780p LCDs that will be replaced eventually (one has crayon all over the screen ). But if it isn't something that gets heavy usage, or is primarily for kid , I see no reason to spend a lot of money on it. TVs are so goddamn cheap now that they're almost disposible anyway.
LG usually has the lowest lag though which puts them way above Samsung since I care most about gaming when shopping for a TV.
Even with "game mode" on?
Yeah from the reviews I have seen LG is usually top of the line for lag on game mode with all the frame interpolation and noise reduction turned off.
I like LG phones, and this budget 4k TV is good. Their AMOLED TV is beautiful but my cousin's TV already has an ESPN ticker burn in and conditioning the TV doesnt help.
Are there people still using the Old TVs as Main TVs?
Your mom. I can’t even mirror my disco app while I’m given her da bizzness
My Abuela has one back home, she told me that there's no need for an upgrade since the television is still working.
both of my tvs are from around 2008
one is 32 and the other is 36 i think.
i know tvs are pretty cheap these days but mine work fine tbh... i keep thinking, what will i do with my old one if i buy a new one? no one would buy it.
haven't had a console in about a decade and don't watch much tv...
i had a dumb tv until i moved a few months ago. wasn't worth shipping something that old. new TV's are cheap as . got a 58 inch 4k ruku tv for $300
Still running a Bravia from 2011. I'm dreading replacing that since the component input is being phased out and I like having both my PS2 and my BC Wii hooked up (mostly play Gamecube on it though) over component.
Like I always say, get an old, dumb CRT for your vintage gaming or maybe even any gaming if you don't mind smaller screen sizes and can deal with the space and weight issues.
arent there component/hdmi converters?
i know i have the same concern when i eventually bring my n64 over
I'm eventually going to have to buy something like an OSSC. All the PS2 HDMI adapters ing suck. Prob the same for Wii too, though I could prob live without that one in hardware since Gamecube emulation is rock solid.
They are cheap I agree
As for TV OS. I think I prefer Android
I made the jump from CRT to LCD around 2010, i vividly remember i was playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood on my 360 at the time and it blew my mind all the detail in the buildings, Ezio's outfit etc. that i couldn't see before on the ol' brick.
