Re: [MBZ] TV's

My son bought me a 54" Sharp Aquos TV 10 years ago. It has great picture quality and has performed without a hitch since day one. I keep on waiting for it to fail but despite heavy use it refuses to. As you can see, it still gets great reviews.

Re: [MBZ] TV's

Speaking of the game of rings. Y’all recall the hype when the Lake Placid Olympics were being sent by fiber to be broadcast? So much better picture quality… on our clapped out color CRT over the air. I doubt even cable had any impact on the upgraded transmissions clay > On Dec 18, 2019, at

Re: [MBZ] TV's

I think I saw some 4k content on Netflix, I presume they are using some heavy compression algorithms (like regular HD content) to get it down to something that most ISPs deliver.  I think I nominally have 15 or 18Mbps on my ATT Uverse link, it's been awhile since I looked at whatever they are

Re: [MBZ] TV's

You've hit on the problem with 4K and we talk about this at work a lot.Most cable and satellite TV providers are giving you 25-30mbit/sec bandwidth for HD which is about the same bandwidth as an SD DVD which was 1/3 to 1/4 the frame size. If you go to 4K which is nearly 2x the resolution of

Re: [MBZ] TV's

There is something called "QLED" now, I have no idea what that technology does.  OLED pictures are quite stunning in 4k.  I'll probably need some more bandwidth to stream movies in that format though --FT On 12/18/19 11:45 AM, dan--- via Mercedes wrote: I came rally close to going OLED when

Re: [MBZ] TV's

I came rally close to going OLED when I bought a new TV earlier this year. I realize they punch everything up in the stores, but across the board they were definitely better as far as picture quality. I’ve got a 55” plasma that we took out of service because it was ghosting slightly in one

Re: [MBZ] TV's

My next TV will be OLED. Only worthy successor to plasma. Our smart (!) Panasonic plasma TV's are still running well, but the smarts expired years ago. (No updates, services stopped working, etc.) No matter, they work well as monitors, and as broadcast TV tuners. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] TV's

New is far less expensive, and you get warranty. Just how magic does it need to be? 4K? Normal 1080p at 120hz is good enough for something that large if you are using it in a very large room, so you do not notice pixels. The Sharp 52” is really good from 15 foot away. For some reason the

As long as you stick to a name brand you should be fine. You really don’t have to worry about the “smart” aspect of these as long as you don’t connect them to a network. I connect mine once every few months, jump into the menu to run updates, and pull the (network) plug as soon as it’s done. I

Re: [MBZ] TV's

How big do you need? I think I recently bought a Visio El cheapo, dumb not smart, suits us just fine, purchased a couple years ago. Small at 32 inches, which is plenty big enough for a small room. We also have a ten years old Sony Bravia, 46 inch, not smart, that I hope will last forever.

Re: [MBZ] TV's

The Panasonic that we bought in 2012 is still going strong. It can be"smart", but we use it as a monitor fed by a laptop with HDMI output, so it doesn't know it could be smart - On Tue, Dec 17, 2019 at 7:35 PM Curley McLain via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I trust the south Koreans

Vizios are decent and lower price. The major brands have various levels of performance reflected in prices. Be careful of assessing them in the store, they’re always cranked up on contrast and saturation etc. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Dec 17, 2019, at 7:25 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes >
