My mechanic said the same thing about cars -- HokieMacDaddy 05/04/2020 4:19PM
I'm curious about that line of thinking -- Tafkam Hokie 05/04/2020 5:59PM
Particularly those units made to go on sale. The non sale -- 133743Hokie 05/04/2020 3:38PM
I didn't realize this ** -- HokieR 05/04/2020 4:47PM
There will be one or two characters different in the sku ** -- 133743Hokie 05/04/2020 4:48PM
1 or 2 different characters in the SKU is common. Manufacturers do -- Tafkam Hokie 05/04/2020 4:53PM

Nice fast times reference ^^^^ ** -- QuentinVT 05/04/2020 5:58PM
Didn't realize there were still TV shops. -- HokieR 05/04/2020 2:27PM
Yeah, last time I tried a TV repair shop, it was going to cost $800 -- Tafkam Hokie 05/04/2020 4:45PM
I don't even bother -- HokieForever 05/04/2020 2:37PM
$25 diagnostic fee but I'm not optimistic about it being worth the cost2fix ** -- HokieDan95 05/04/2020 2:55PM

I have had awful luck with Samsung lately - had 3 die on me in a 1 year ... -- vt90 05/04/2020 2:22PM
This post depresses me. I bought a Samsung, on sale, 2.5 years ago. ** -- SavannaHokie 05/04/2020 6:07PM
Same here. Had a TV die 2 months out of warrant. Fridge after a couple -- Tafkam Hokie 05/04/2020 4:43PM
I have gone with Vizio after Samsung troubles ** -- HokieR 05/04/2020 4:20PM
Oh God, I have 2 I bought a year ago. Crossing my fingers ** -- HokieNLot11 05/04/2020 2:45PM
If you got them at Costco you should have the 2 year warranty ... -- vt90 05/04/2020 2:47PM
Costco tends to sell the discounted/sale models specifically made for -- 133743Hokie 05/04/2020 3:45PM
I bought mine from Crutchfield in Charlottesville ** -- HokieNLot11 05/04/2020 2:52PM

Hold on to it ** -- HokieDan95 05/04/2020 2:34PM

My 14-year-old Panasonic plasma still running strong -- statmanfromHCyrs 05/04/2020 2:53PM
I think mine's the same age. Other than it being really heavy by today's -- Tafkam Hokie 05/04/2020 5:17PM
Quite easy to replace mother boards also. ** -- 48zip 05/04/2020 2:37PM
Had that happen with Sony, after 1.5 years of operation -- HokieForever 05/04/2020 2:28PM

This is what happens when things become commoditized ** -- vt_mughal 05/04/2020 2:07PM
If you spend more than $1000 on a TV I can't understand it -- typed by ben 05/04/2020 1:59PM
Most people buy them not for smart function but picture quality ** -- HokieForever 05/04/2020 2:02PM
Just can't agree there's that much difference -- typed by ben 05/04/2020 2:22PM
Agree with you sort of... -- HokieForever 05/04/2020 2:27PM
Agry - buy a Roku or other device for the "smart" features. ** -- Hokie360 05/04/2020 2:13PM
Can you use a Roku with a smart TV? -- statmanfromHCyrs 05/04/2020 2:57PM
Yes. TV just sees it as another HDMI input. Should be an easy fix for you. -- Hokie360 05/04/2020 3:15PM
I have it on my main (old, and dumb) plasma, love it. -- statmanfromHCyrs 05/04/2020 3:18PM
The TV itself wouldn't use it's own HDMI port for it's own smart capability -- Hokie360 05/04/2020 3:26PM
