    Going to need to purchase a new TV for wife & I. Anyone give a recommendation?
    We dont play games just various shows and sports.
    Any feedback would be appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Go to Costco. Find the one with the best picture for your budget. You're looking at a price range of $270-$3000.

    TCL with Roku. Not expensive and works well with streaming and cable.

    We got a budget Hisense for the garage with a Roku integrated. We have a more expensive Samsung for the living room with a Roku box on it. Both are great for what we use them for.

    My dad got a Sony with google play and android integrated. I really like that set up, but I'm a big google honk.

    Depends on Budget.

    I like Samsung and Sonys best.

    I have an Insignia from Best Buy with Roku.

    I will probably buy a Samsung or Sony to replace the Plasma I use in the living room.

    I like using the new Google Chromecast, so integrated apps isn't a big deal anymore. Its a lot better these days.

    Consider upgrading to one of these. Larger, and has more functionality than just television.

    Then go to Costco.

    How is the hearing with you and the wife?

    Do you have a nice surround sound system or sound bar?

    For your budget you can get a nice 65" and a nice sound bar.

    The Bose might be a little tired.

    Now you can use a set of nice set of Bose headphones that will connect to a sound bar via bluetooth and the audio will be fuller and more immersive without being loud.

    or

    or dump the sound bar and headphone upgrade and replace it with this

    Anyone have the Criterion Channel? Our current (LG) TV won't let us play it through the TV, and since it ran updates it won't recognize the laptop when we plug it in. Anyone able to watch it directly through the TV (like you can with Netflix on every new TV)?

    That bad boy times a few hundred million units is a lot of landfill space.

    December we got a 65’ Samsung. Absolutely love it. Open box for $525! Fantastic deal. No issues with it at all. Next door neighbor loves it so much, he just ordered one, shows up next week.
