Party at Veum’s house!

 

Just a heads up, folks:  I would discourage anyone from ordering a TV from Sam’s Club.  Just a bad experience all the way around; not just the TV showing up cracked, but the ordeal of getting it returned, the way they don’t give you a heads up on delivery OR pickup.  

After I finally got someone to have it picked up, they gave me no idea when to expect someone.  FedEx guy showed up completely unprepared for something that large (I’ll let you insert your own jokes here).  Thank goodness I was on vacation and home for several consecutive days, which pretty much never happens.

 

Sorry, didn’t mean to make it about me.  Party at Veum’s house!  Seriously, congrats, that’s going to be fun.

 

So sorry for your bad experience at Sam’s Club, what kinda of TV did you end up with? 🧐

Had to look it up; it’s a Samsung - 65” Class CU7000 Crystal UHD 4K Smart Tizen TV.  Bought it for my son (mostly) to play video games in our spare room that I turned into a “media room”.  It’s where my movie shelves are, but video games are played.  Kind of entry level 4K, but big so he stops trying to use the living room TV (which is for movies, naturally)  .  
 

Got it from Best Buy, where I had also just had to buy one for my bedroom.  Had a plasma that I bought in 2020 finally have so many overheating problems that I had to replace it.   Went ahead and looked it up while I was at Best Buy, that one’s a Toshiba - 55" Class C350 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV.  Got it a couple of months ago, very happy with it so far.

Congrats on your TV choices! 🙌 📺… 

 

Very nice and I hope your son enjoys his video games even better now (I’ve always wanted to play some of those video games but didn’t because of those prices w/PlayStations)! 🤑 😳

There’s a typo here, not that it really matters:  plasma was purchased in 2010.  Not sure anyone was even still selling them in 2020.

@hansreinhardt been trying to find a 4K TV 📺 that I could still use my 4 small speakers hooked up to my stereo and my current TV but it seems these newer TVs do not have that plug-in on the TV so I could plug-in my wire cable with the male connector to the TV 😏

 

Why have they stopped this on TVs to plug-in to the TV from your Stereo 😠 

 

I really did not want to go to Bluetooth or a soundbar… need to find a TV that has great SOUND in it and is not real expensive 😒

 

Maybe this one the 48 inch 4K Sony 🤷‍♂️ 

 

Sony XR48A90K Bravia XR A90K 48 inch 4K HDR OLED Smart TV 2022

That OLED is definitely going to be a cut above the other you had previously looked at! I am constantly blown away by my own Sony OLED. (Edit: I have the A80J, I think it's the previous year's model from the one you're looking at, can vouch that it's a beauty!) If you can get the sound issue sorted, this will be a phenomenal TV for ya. Check out @ukade2327's solution above, that's seems like a great cost-effective problem fix.

 

Keep us posted. I love all things TV and home theater!

If so you only need ask, im sure we can work it out👍

@Basil Paul thank you, because I know when I get the new 4K TV I will probably need all you guys assistance to try to get the right equipment/ and to know how to put what gear needs to be where t needs to be (especially since all these newer model TVs do not have that audio-out to accommodate my cable from my stereo to it) so I can still keep my tiny set-up that I’m use to and that I really do enjoy! 🙏
