    Pro tip: Look for a hospitality TV, they come in smart and non-smart versions. Generally they’re made tougher also. You do pay more vs a Walmart pos though.

    Pro tip 2: Avoid the Samsung ones, their quality control is shit.

      also don’t buy LG, as they design devices that will brick themselves with no way to recover the firmware and will simply tell you you’re shit out of luck

          Oh yeah my LG OLED TV is fantastic for picture quality. although I’m still getting used to judder, and don’t know how to fix that on panning shots. no combination of settings seem to work for me.

          but I bought that before the sound system and before I had first-hand experience of how few fucks LG gave about me as a customer

            I usually just search for my TV models calibration settings. Either reddit or some av forum usually has some good settings that work for me.

            I’ve had a Dolby atmos boxed 5.1 sound bar with sub and rear speaker from Hisense since I got it. I think maybe once a year it losses handshake but just restart everything seems to fix it

              unfortunately nobody else’s recommendations have worked so I sat there rewatching several shots over and over again with different settings lol

          they did this to my two year old soundbar a year ago, which made the entire 5.1 setup useless since it’s all driven by the soundbar

        Be careful with commercial displays, the refresh rate might be ridiculously low.

          Oh you can get 120 refresh rates on them

          And OLED too

          Just a matter of being willing to spend 5x-10x what you would for a data harvester
