Aw man. It looks like I need a new tv. My 46" Toshiba is flickering and giving me a double image. It's viewable but not for long I fear.
I've googled the fix a flickering double image tv videos on youtube and just don't feel like fixing it... so I won't. I fixed an older Samsung tv I had years ago when it had bad capacitors. This Toshiba has been on the wall in my living room since 2013 or 2016. It's lived a good life but it's time to move on.
I'm looking for suggestions on what to get. They've ones I'm looking at online at costco.com all have similar reviews. The Hisense makes me wary. I'm leaning towards the Samsung or Vizio or LG... the Sony is about $100 more than I want to spend. I don't know anything about current tvs, 4K, UHD, LED, or what to get or look for. Are ones below even worth looking at or am I wasting my time?
Costco will be the place of purchase.
55" will fit on the space on the wall.
I'm not looking to spend much more than the prices listed below.
I need the tv to do: DirecTV (I've got that cable box), Netflix (it's on my bluray player), Bluray, Xbox One, Amazon Firestick. I don't care if the tv will do Internet surfing. I'd rather it didn't have a browser.
Sound will be through my Yamaha Audio/Video receiver. I've got HDMI for that... unless these tvs have something newer than HDMI and my Yamaha is useless now?
Hisense - 55" Class R8F Series ULED LED LCD TV $469
Sony - 55" Class X75CH Series 4K UHD LED LCD TV $569
Samsung - 55" TU700D Series 4K UHD LED LCD TV $429
Vizio - 55" Class M Series 4K Quantum LED LCD TV $479
LG - 55 inch Class 4K Smart UHD TV with AI ThinQ® (54.6" Diag) 55UN7300AUD $409
Thanks!
