Looking at TVs. Freeper Opinions Valued
11.29.13 | chickensoup

Posted on 11/29/2013 5:32:29 PM PST by Chickensoup

My last thread about TVs was published in 2006.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1725379/posts

I still have the 2k in the bank and still want to buy one I have been looking at the Sharp Aquos Quattron 3D 240 70" Model 757.

Any opinions? Good Amazon ratings.

How does one get it installed if purchased on the net?

How does one pick a sound system, and I need a sound system with headphones because of a mild hearing deficit (What did he just say? Where are they going? Why did he kill her?)

I am looking for a theatre-sort of experience at my low low budget. I will probably only use it for DVDs and perhaps the Superbowl game if son is around. I am not a broadcast or cable watcher. The former TV died and I watch little tv on the laptop (not a comfortable venue for me) I have the library set up and ready to take the tv. I am installing window shutters now.

Your insight would be much appreciated.

I and my father use Sharp. GREAT TV. My mother has a Samsung. Also GREAT TV. In the living room we have Panasonic. Very happy with this one. I have LG monitor at work. Also great.

Sony’s are good too.

I would stay away from anything else.

We got our 92inch from Aarons, rent to own. They bring it out,install it, hook everything up, show you how to use it, & if need be repair it if something goes wrong with it.

Which reminds me of an old witticism from scouting days:

    indian build small fire, sit close . . white man build BIG fire, sit faaar away

Personally I wouldn’t spend money on 3D.

I have a Samsung LED and its fantastic.

I don't think we have an Aaron's in the hinterlands here. 92 inch TV I don't think my room is big enough...only 12 to 14 feet from seat to TV wall.

I am mightily impressed though.

I hear that LG brand TVs can give many of those a run for their money on quality. Check around. I haven’t been hearing great things about Samsung lately.

We turned our family room into a real home theater. They also have other sizes avail. Just go to their website & that lists which one is closest to you. They are nation wide.

Please be sure to review this series:

LG LM8600-9200 series Passive 3D TVs

We've been very pleased with them and the 3d is spectacular.

Wireless performance is good and Netflix is beyond amazing.

You get a lot of bang for the buck with Vizio. You can get a Smart TV (internet w/Amazon, Netflix and Pandora) and 3D for modest prices. Amazon is also currently a special on a Yamaha stereo receiver for less than $300.

Order the tv from Sam’s Club and they can install it.

Likewise. Samsung LED, no 3D. We love it.

I didn’t think I would like it.

I went to three films in 3D and I love it!

We also have a new Samsung LED. Yes, it's great (and it's not made in china, fwiw.)

3d is good at times, but I chose not to get it for home. Spend the extra on a blueray. The picture quality will blow you away.
