I’m in the market for a new 65-70+ inch tv. I see some models at the $1500+ range, and others around $750. Is there any real difference in quality between mid price TVs for someone who just watches hbo and doesn’t really obsess over pristine quality? Ps this is Covid related bc all I do anymore is work and watch tv.

Bought a top of the line tv years ago for over $2k. Broke days after the 2 year warranty. Replaced with one from Costco that was cheeeeeep. Still have it almost 10 years later. I’ll never buy high end again!

Get a good brand like Sony, Samsung, LG or even Vizio and get the less expensive version with good reviews. Anything you get is probably better than what you have and each year they will come out with something better so no need to get the “best”. I notice the different between the TVs but only because I see them side by side at Costco, when I’m at home I don’t notice anything except my new TV.

TV deal hunting is one of the main things Slickdeals is best for. Hope you are a Costco member, they seem to produce half of the best deals.

Just get something other people who watch these things get excited about, in your size and price range. You’ll be happy.

Example from today: 65’ with great picture quality, but terrible OS, for $1080 down from $1500.

Great if you are using an Apple TV or other device to use apps, maybe wait for the next deal if you want to use smart TV OS a lot as this one is slow.

Based on what you said, no. Do what STA1 said. Reputable brand, you probably won’t notice any dif.

I always buy TVs from Walmart, my go to brand is Sceptre. I had a 55" one in college a decade ago. I upgraded to 60" after 5 years and put the smaller one in my bedroom. Then I gifted the 60" to my dad and bought myself a 65" in 2017. All three still work great. So much cheaper than Samsung and whatnot, and to my eyes the picture is the exact same.

Sony x90h, just bought it and love it

Buy consumer reports annual guide or subscribe online. It will answer all that.

I bought a 65 inch from Costco for about $500 and it is a great TV.

I picked up the LG BX OLED in that price range and love it

I recently got a LG 65 inch TV, it was mid-range I’d say. Honestly, I think the picture is great. Side by side at Costco with ones that were 2x as much, yes, you could tell the difference. But when I got it home it was improvement over the 50 inch Samsung I had, which was only a few years old.

Old Samsung smart tv from 2012 still works like a charm 🤜🏻🚪
