>trinitron
Haven't heard or read this word in decades.

I know that feel, I will have to buy a new TV by the end of the summer.

>>60162097
I just buy the cheapest of the size I want, haven't disappointed me so far.

Only trust the negative reviews

Companies pay good money for clickfarms to rate their products 5 stars and have barely literate chinks post a bunch of "product cat hiss at penis very good recommend ;)"

Also these companies pay off all the reviewers too. Don't trust anyone popular, don't trust any magazines, and don't even trust groups like consumer reports. Literally anyone with a name of any kind is corrupted by corporate dollars.

The best places to get actual product reviews are forums with random joe blows, even 4chan and reddit are dramatically superior to any kind of namebrand reviewer.

And even when you browse forums, you have to watch out for guerrilla marketers pretending to be honest users giving word-of-mouth reviews, but whom are actually getting paid. So you have to cross reference between multiple websites and look for inconsistencies between reviews and information.

Advertising and manipulation by corporations has reached an absolutely obscene level.

Simple purchasing guide:

>discard all TVs with '''smart''' features
>choose which resolution, refresh rate etc you want
>find the cheapest TV with acceptable specs
>make sure there's a reasonable returns policy
>don't bother with a warranty

From high-end YouTube channels to comments on obscure consumer sites, reviews are bollocks. There's a 90% chance you're looking at the product of a corporate PR campaign, 10% chance it's just a common-or-garden idiot.

TVs are the most agonizing consumer electronics purchase you can make. They're big, expensive, and expected to be used for a long time
