I haven't bought a new TV in about 20 years but now that my old Sony 32" trinitron is on the fritz it looks like it's finally time.
I've been spending a ridiculous amount of time attempting to get up to speed on all the latest technology and I'm a bit overwhelmed. I've been out of the TV game for so long that I don't understand things like HDR, 3:2 pull down, 480i, 1080i, 1080p, 4K, LED, LCD, OLED, Plasma blah, blah blah. Here's what I know we want. I want a TV that is reliable and will last a very long time, as in until I'm dead. I want value and a great picture with good viewing angles. I see most TV sets now come with built in WiFi for internet access and that would be fun especially if there was a way to watch internet content on the TV, I see this is called smart TV and it intrigues me. My 32 inch was a large set for us but since we're buying a new set we should go bigger, much bigger. I'm thinking a 65 inch would be fun to have and I could mount it on the wall and get rid of our ugly oak entertainment center from the early 90's. Some TV's are curved and we don't like those ones. We have Directv and want a TV that can handle the high definition but not sure which format we need to go with. Wish there was a way to compare all the different types of High definition side by side. We assume that the higher the number the better the picture will be. In the stores they all look great but that's because they have the best format connected to all the TV's. What year did buying a new TV become so complicated?
Here's the model TV we have now: KV-32FS120. I'm going to miss this TV.
