    Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

    Are newer tv's more likely to die at all? I have 2 Vizio ones that are like 6 and 8ish years old and they seem great today...I get the piece of mind with the warranty, but is it truly necessary?

      The thing with the protection is you can add an additional 2 years to the 5 years. Plus, power surge protection.

        How much does that run? It covers basically anything that happens? Just call them up and good to go? It's always tempting, just usually too expensive for my tastes at that point.

          I feel the same but was looking to get a consensus.

          I've bought appliances over the past few years and refused to get the in-store extended warranties.

          The included manufacturer's warranty is usually one year and your credit card usually has first year protection.

          TVs are fickle though so that's why I'm asking what guys here have done.

          Anyone here opt to not insure their TV?

            Yeah, my thoughts too...and I'm frugal since a lot of money being spent on new house crap, so not easy to just throw 100 bucks at it or something. That's video game money lol

              I got the Samsung ks8000 55 inch tv back in November and now I didn't get a extended warrantee but maybe I should I tend to have bad luck with tech lol. I don't know if it is a TV setting or what is going on but I have already had a little bit of tech issues with this tv and its sound. Some times the sound goes away and I have to like unplug and re plug the cable that connects the one box to fix it.

                Go to setting, support(i think) do the sound diagnostic, then sound should come back, my ks8500 does the same thing

                  Most of the time I have the issue when I first turn the TV on and I have had some issues getting odd sound with my soundbar I got 2 times already and I just got the soundbar on like sunday. I am wondering if my one connect box were you connect you things like cable box, bluray player etc has a issue.

                    Yea when i first turn the TV on thats when i have no sound, doesn't happen much, but shouldn't happen at all.

                    Great tv btw!!! Bought it in December, then bought the ks9500 in June for almost the same price. Paired with ps4 pro, cant wait for the xbox one X

                      What are everyone's recommendations for a 50-55" 4k TV with HDR if I upgrade to the PS4 Pro? I'm looking to stay around $500. I see quite a few around that price range but can't decide which one would be the best.

                          Thanks for the response.

                          There's no difference performance wise between the 55P607 and 55P605 model, correct? I see that the 55P605 model is Best Buy exclusive but it's $50 cheaper, and all I can find is that the remote is different.

                            Serious budget restraints. Is the Hisense 65" on sale now at BB for $850 something to consider for Black Friday? Need a 65 since I view from 12' in the family room.

                              Welp.

                              I did it.

                              LG C7 65.

                              Still in a state of shock at my incoming credit card statement.

                              Delivery and installation will be next week.

                              Thanks for all the advice guys!

                                When I built my game room about 3 years ago I put in a 132" screen with a projector and loved playing games on the huge screen.

                                When I saw the OLED though I went out and got the LG C6 and now I barely touch my projector. Last night I had some friends over to watch the fight and had both going with different content and man the OLED screen looked fantastic. The projector looks great and all but compared to the deep blacks and just the pop of the colors on the OLED it's all I game on now.
