Alright CP, it's been 7-8 years since I last bought a TV and haven't really paid much attention to the market. But our old plasma is getting some lines of flickering, and we're thinking it's time for an upgrade.
A few points:
- Looking at 50" range, max budget $1,500
- Primarily watch Netflix/blu ray (We don't have nor want cable)
- Very occasional gaming. (Still have an xbox 360, no desire to upgrade)
- Zero interest in 3D
So a few questions I have:
- Where's the best place to buy TV's these days? (Best Buy, Visions, elsewhere?)
- What's the deal with 4K? I'm hearing conflicting things on if it's needed. Lack of content/bandwidth seems like it's not ready for prime time yet
- Best brands/brands to avoid? (We've had good experience with Samsung sets over the years)
- Recommended screen type, I'm thinking LED, but open to suggestions
