redkneck Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Been a long time since I sprung for a new set, but it's about that time. Any suggestions with what to get or not get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I asked the same question 2 months ago. http://www.realtree.com/forums/lounge/105872-i-need-new-tv.html Take a look at the ratings for Insignia TV's sold by Best Buy. So far I am very happy with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I remembered someone had asked Joe, just couldn't remember who. Thanks for the link, some good reading in there on the CNET review site. We have a best buy, sams, and walmart here, I'm sure I'll find something. How noticeable is the 60/120/240 refresh rates from set to set? Also thought this looked like a decent package Walmart.com: VIORE 42" Class LCD 1080P 60Hz HDTV, LC42VF56, 6ft HDMI Cable with Choice of Home Theater System,TV Bundle: TV & Video But have never heard of Viore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradog Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Some day, historians will look at back at the causes of the fall of this great nation. Television will surely be listed as one of the greatest, if not the greatest reason. 95% of what's on TV is trash yet the people watch it not knowing what else to do with their idle time. I say kill your television. You and your family will be smarter, happier and more blessed whithout it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradog Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 From an old Frank Zappa tune: I am gross and perverted Im obsessed n deranged I have existed for years But very little had changed I am the tool of the government And industry too For I am destined to rule And regulate you I may be vile and pernicious But you can't look away I make you think Im delicious With the stuff that I say I am the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? I am the slime oozin out From your tv set You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we don't need you Don't go for help...no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold That's right, folks.. Don't touch that dial Well, I am the slime from your video Oozin along on your livinroom floor I am the slime from your video Cant stop the slime, people, lookit me go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 240 Hz is where it's at right now... so don't get that! lol you'll pay for it. my sharp 48" is 120 Hz and I think it works more than well enough. It can keep up with a charging brown bear through a creek in HD on the outdoor channel, so that's good enough for me. Visio's at walmart are good quality picture for the price. I got my Sharp 48" LCD 120Hz for $699 a couple years ago. It was an online advertised only one day sale before the black friday craziness.

redkneck Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Ended up getting a 40" 1080p at best buy. Out the door with 4 yr replacement warranty and new cable for a little more than 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 hope it works well for you. what brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Dynex. Another house brand just like insignia. Was about $100 bucks less than the insignia of comparable specs, and with the 4yr replacement warranty, I'll take my chances. It may end up in my man cave once it is finished, but with all the rain we've gotten, I'm still waiting to get concrete poured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 good deal. you're probably safe... if it doesn't break in 4 yrs, it probably won't for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
