Why Wal-Mart and not Amazon?
Wal-Mart mostly carries crap TVs, especially Vizios. You can get a good deal on a good quality TV from Amazon. Or you can get a better deal than Wal-Mart on a bottom barrel TCL Roku TV, which is still better than Vizio. |

I gave my 7 year old Samsung to my daughter and purchased another Samsung from Best Buy on sale. A friend paid twice as much for a “burn in” LG. Go with QLED if you don’t want burn in.

Many years ago, had a nasty lightening strike in backyard, wiped out all but one of the computer inputs on my Vizio....so in back bedroom used with streaming device only.....up front here is a Sceptor and came from Walmart, I think...certainly not Ammozone.....might have been Best Buy...but the TV in LR been great for some years now.....but I am VERY pair a NOID about lightening.....so I have 1-1 isolation transformers running computers and TV/cable modems with supression power strips before the transformers, and AFTER the them too....so double on the surge crap.......so far, so good.....
Floriduh is lightening capital of the nation...... |

I believed the hype that vizio was "just as good" and bought one for the living room.
Within two years, there were dark sections of the screen and it progressively got worse. No more vizio for me. |

Why buy from WalMart? Pick one under $900.00 and just take it.

Phew, made it back.
hell of a fire fight..... old: 50" panasonic plasma, circa 2006 new: 55" LG LED, circa today bigger screen, but same overall size, which is good, as we do have some constraints either side. wall mounted on a swivel, so Mrs. DAB can angle towards the kitchen if she's baking and watching something. old one was on a fixed base. fairly easy set up, good to go. |
