re: TV Repair (Samsung)

That’s why he plays travel ball

I’d never buy a Samsung anything ever again.

Just bought a 75” Samsung at Best Buy for $579 plus tax on Cyber Monday. TV went out on Black Friday.

So it lasted a little less than a year?

Samsung is garbage

Try to fix it yourself then throw it away if you can’t.

I would honestly just buy a new TV. They’re cheap these days.

With todays electronics, one repair leads to more repairs

Samsung TVs are some of the best brands out there.

The upper end Samsung/LG/Sony panels are all excellent, specific ones are just better for specific use cases. The problem Samsung and LG have with perceived quality is they both compete down at the lower end range too. They make sets near the TCL/Hisense price points but they don't have quite the picture quality or reliability of TCL and Hisense at that bottom end price point. Sony on the other hand chooses not to dip as low so their lowest price set don't add the negative perception that the low end Samsungs and LG have.

As an example you can get LG and Samsung 85" TVs for $900 both of which I find unwatchable. Sony bottoms out at about $1200 for an 85" which is the point I find 85" TVs are at least watchable. At the bottom price point IMO don't buy a Samsung or LG get a Hisense instead (forgetting country of origin and only considering quality). When you move up 2 or 3 price points is when choosing Samsung, LG or Sony makes (high) sense.

Use picture in picture on the right side of the tv.

Bam. "New" 35" tv.

No charge for the advice.

TVs and weed are basically the only two things that have actually gotten cheaper over the years.

These market effects have put TV repairmen out of the business and a lot of weed dealers too.
