Looking for a TV for workout room
Posted on 1/26/22 at 9:33 am

Im converting a bedroom into a workout room and would like to hang a TV on the wall. I think 43" is the biggest I can do and im not looking to break the bank. I wont be playing games on it or anything. The room is also not overly bright.
I currently stream all of my TV with a Roku and sometimes use OTA antenna. I see some TCL TVs that seem to integrate Roku very well. Ive just never heard of that brand. Any brand/model recommendations?

I bought a SAMSUNG 43" Class Q6-Series 4K Ultra HD Smart QLED TV - QN43Q6DAAFXZA from Sam's Club this week for $297 with a free 4 year extended warranty. It's on sale until 2/13 while supplies last. The same TV at Best Buy or Amazon is about $500.
I considered the TCL 43" from Walmart for $258 but the Samsung for $39 more and 4 year Ext Warranty was the better deal and better TV.

TCL is fine for a workout room. The Roku system works pretty well. The only complaint I have on mine is that the system seems to have limited memory - so if I use say the Amazon app and then switch to Netflix, it seems like it has to re-load the Netflix app before letting me in. It takes longer to load than on a dedicated Roku box or an Apple TV.
Once loaded it works as well as the others - if you power off and back on - the last app is still loaded and works as expected. It's just a weird quirk/delay to have to put up with.
As others said - Samsung and LG probably have similar cost options that might be a (slightly) better TV. But in the bargain cost range there's not much difference.

Find the cheapest TCL or Hisense Roku TV in the size you want. It’s a workout room. You don’t need home theater quality.

I get it. But we have had great luck with both of those brands. Especially for something like a workout room. And at their price point, upgrading in the future is easier if you decide to.
