Streaming makes for easy TV placement The one out by the pool is on a rolling stand. We purchased at Best Buy and was more expensive than the TV we bought for outside. Hint for outside Florida, buy the biggest cheapest set. I think it’s a TCL, was like $299 or $399 and I believe 60” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept getting higher def, bigger, better connecting smart TV's for less and less. We'd upgrade the main TV in the family room, and put the old (perfectly good tv) in another room. The TV in the basement has been in 5 different rooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted December 14, 2020 #3829 Share Posted December 14, 2020 This years top-of-the-line $2,000 TV will be a $200 budget TV in 2 years. Practically disposable, if they were easy to dispose of. TCL is supposed to be a great brand. Don't know about long term reliability but it is consistently ranked high by tech review websites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had it outdoors (TCL) for two years now. Still working fine. I don’t think the display is as brite as the Samsung it replaced. Other than that, not a bad TV. You’re correct. We paid $5k for the 4K Sony that was the competition for OLED 5 years ago. Similar TV and size are now less than $2k. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably get at least one, maybe two new TV’s for the new house build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tv series following a woman who was cruising around the world. I don't remember if all the episodes were on there, but there was a lot. Jane was originally a singer on a cruise ship. She's from Yorkshire, a very warm vibrant lady who's been in a few day time chat shows and absolutely loves cruising and travel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can play a quick tone. Much preferable to the OK, that we tired of long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We planned to then cancel. Didn't realize that Mulan wasn't free until earlier this month. I'll get around to cancelling one of these days. That's how they get you though. Before you know it, you've paid for the service for a year and haven't watched anything. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda pissed I have to do each TV individually I just needed to log into YouTube TV again. Not only is it a pain to get all of the smart services set up, I've had to do it more than once on the same TV for some services. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are doing great and get along well. Cory is now known as Sparky. He's a ball of energy and wants to play non stop. He is very clumsy where Eva is more gentle and graceful. Eva likes to play too but now loves the Christmas tree we picked up this weekend. I will upload some pictures as soon as we decorate the tree. I want them to get used to the tree for a day before I decorate it. I'm sure Sparky will think the decorations are new toys. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One big one in the "living room"...surround sound, Blu Ray...theater style. One over front that we watch during breakfast, one in the bedroom, and one outside (which we rarely used) that you can watch in your folding chairs under the awning (think outdoor porch). The bus came with all of them. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ughh...had to immediately take it off the tree. When one of ours was much younger...would find her more than half way up the trunk of the tree in search of adventures. 😉 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
