    You know, I just realized that we bought our 50'' Panasonic Plasma TV in 2008 or so - and it still looks fantastic. I guess we do not watch that much TV - since we have not even thought about upgrading it.

    Who would believe that all this time after that - it can still handle a FireTV, Chromecast and Cable with no issues.

    Just bought a nice Samsung 55” 4k for $587 off amazon. Delivered two days later and had it working and watching the first blazer game on it a couple weeks ago.

    I had a 10 year-old 65 inch Samsung and no interest in the LG, but we wanted to go to a 75. LG is not a brand I have ever owned but this new OLED technology is amazing. And LG OLED seems the be the highest rated of all of the new big screens and I see why. Easy, intuitive, crystal clear, etc.

    LG (Lucky Goldstar) is a Korean company and maybe couple decades or so ago was always considered second best to Samsung in Korea.

    Didn't know that. At any rate, we're Costco members. A couple of months ago, I pulled a feat that I doubt any of you ever have: I walked out of the place without buying a thing. I went there for St. Louis ribs, and they were out.

    you know what? Nm. You dont want it. I went to Amazon to copy the link and they have already dropped the price. It was one of the best rated with thousands of reviews. But the picture did seem a little dark Nd it only has two hdmi ports and id prefer three.
    Im returning it and upgrading.
    But now im shopoing like you! 65-70” for me! Lol

    I do that all the time. In college, I used to go there just to eat samples so I wouldn't have to buy lunch.

    Plus I don't like waiting in line, so I just leave my cart and come back another time if the line is long.

    My costco just got self-checkout.

    There is a employee who oversees the self-checkout at the Costco we go to and he's like the soup nazi. It's hilarious. "Scan your items." "No boxes to put your stuff in until you pay."
