    If going over 2500 due to tax is cool, do the Sony. My shitty 32" Sony shits on my 32" Vizio.

    Are the new Tv's in that range now up to par with the plasmas when they stopped making them? Have they surpassed the plasmas?

    I still prefer the look of a plasma. They just pop better to me. But, These new ones are pretty badass.

    Whatever you purchase, I'm a big fan of the Roku smart-TV platform. Strongly encourage you to consider TVs that have that as the smart interface.

    (I've put the BestBuy in-house brand in a few of my places and they're excellent value and have the Roku interface.)

    OLED's have passed plasma IMO. I've had both. OLED with HDR has been the best thing I've ever seen.

    TCL has a 75 inch roku tv on their website... Problem is they don't seem to sell it anywhere. I even called them last week.

    Steel toe? Do you like them? I have some Wolverines that are very similar but am considering switching.

    I believe the ones I ordered do not have the steel toe. I usually wear casual loafer type slip on shoes to work and wear them out in about 9 months or so which made me want to try something a little more rugged.

    They will be here tuesday so i'll follow up.

    I got a 55" 4k TCL with Roku for $350 around the super bowl. Amazing value on a really good tv and built in Roku is awesome.

    Feel like it happens everytime, but yes ditto on the 55" TCL tv. Especially if you still have a cable provider, you can add their app (Spectrum for me) and get literally everything you could possibly need built in.

    Check out Rtings.com, they have great in depth reviews on electronics, but when it gets down to Sony vs. Vizio, it's always Sony.

    Only downside is about a third of mine turned into colored lines 7 months after I bought it. Not sure if it was the tv failing or if my demon spawn hit it with a toy or something. Either way their customer service was good. Had a new TV installed by local guys within like a week.

    Damn, really? A buddy of mine has one and I think it works good.

    Work gave us a Yeti Hopper 20 and it keeps ice all day, but it's a pain in the ass to get anything in and out because the opening is so tight....

    The hopper opening is super shitty. But, if you put it against something and put your foot/knee against it it's way easier.

    Definitely Rtic for a soft side. They are great.

    What did you pay? My dad and I were talking about tailgate/deck tv's for him yesterday and I mentioned these. He seemed really interested.

    perfect. Think he is doing the dish tailgater and one of these, I think it will fit in the bed of his F150. Then for road games the ROKU comes into play and he can set it on his big ass deck by the fire pit.

    Yeah, They have actually been around a while. If what I read is correct it's a Chinese company that actually makes panels for other companies. I was always hesitant, but the ROKU integration got me thinking.

    I recently got a 50" Insignia LED for my backnporch. Insignia is Best Buy's private label and seems pretty decent. The guy in the store recommended it over other bottom tier brands. I got it for $300 and bought a 2yr warranty for $40.
