Big TV Help

Postby Vince P » Tue Nov 06, 2012 9:17 pm

I know we had this discussion before but times have changed and quality is better.

Anyways, my 57.7" TV thing is making funny noises, the horses I bet on are running slower and slower and the broads on Spice don't appear to be as crystal clear no more.

I want a TV that has the Internet so I can watch Twin Spires, is about 57-67 inches long, LED-LCD, WI-FI, HD and that other crap.

I don't want no 3D. All I need it for is porn and the horses and Jeopardy.

And since I figuratively lost about $17 grand this weekend in Vegas I'm working on a budget, so the max I want to spend is $1,377.00.

What brand, etc, has the best love for what I need?

Appreciate any help,

Vince P

I'll checks out Sony.

Question: Ain't Sony and Vizio the same because Coxco sells Vizio.

What happened to your old TV?

You throw a brick at it last night and broke it?

Vince

I have to come by your office and collect for football this past weekend. If you want, I can certainly have Frank love nose pull his box truck around back and you can pick out what you want at a great discount

Samsung seems to be the highest-rated brand in large screen LCD TVs.

I think you nailed it. Based on the 7 million reviews I read, Samsung is pretty much one of the best and very reliable. Plus I used to have a dog named Sampson.

So Vince is going with a 55" Samsung SmartAssTV with a full web browser so I can get TwinSpires TV, and Apps so I can get Dodger games through MLB.com.

I think this is the winner:

Samsung 55'' Class 1080p 120Hz Slim LED Smart HDTV UN55ES6100

Problem is I now need $1,777.00 to make this purchase.

Anyone know if Todd is still sponsoring people in the forum and love?

If not, can some kind soul in here (Lester, TrenchCoat) lend me the appropriate cash to make this purchase?
