I hate my 65” Samsung OLED.

Laggy as hell interface and the superior screen doesn’t last very long.

What is the board's preference for the OS?
I bought a new TCL with bang and olfsen speakers and the android UX is the best I've ever used. Just plug into Ethernet and you're done.

And there was probably not much price difference between the old tv's price and the price of your new tv/sound setup.
You're right.

As I recall our old TV cost only about $200 less, with no sound bar.

Samsung and LG are among the most reliably excellent TV manufacturers out there

That was only a month ago, and the only thing that has changed is that it automatically sorts the top 8 most frequently used channels to the top. Clearly it wasn't a result of the purchase, but it's hugely useful and indicates that innovation continues.

I have this as well but I absolutely HATE the menu setup and menu lag. My god it's terrible.

Our 65" Onn in the bedroom is way better

Looks like I hurt your feelings.

I’m truly sorry, your upbringing was much worse than mine

It was suggested to me to solve it with Apple TV and basically reset/wipe the Samsung interface.

I plan to do it but haven’t gotten around to it just yet. I watch most of my tv off my iPad these days.

Not inferior to all, but inferior to many but would need the model number to really critique your purchase as you desire. It is awfully small in today's world for a main display. The sound bar is gonna pale in comparison to a real surround sound system. Yep you failed incredibly bad... is that what you wanted to hear?

Best Buy is the worst place to buy a TV


Absolutely nothing wrong with BB for buying a TV.

there's nothing wrong with your $275 Walmart special. Does that make us chums now?
