Short of your HDMI doing the same thing, there are usually at least three ways to get
the signal into your TV, with the proper application of adapters. $20 versus $1500.

That said, I find Samsung to be the most solid on a cost/value ratio. Sony makes
about the best-LOOKING pictures, LG is a good bargain option, stay away from
Viewsonic, Coby and the other price bait of course.

OOPS, sorry, I see the repairman did what I thought needed to be done. Good all round.

I also see that I am not the only one that loves SONY. In 32 years of television,
it sinks in over time that EVERYTHING has a SONY nameplate on it in the control
room, and the best thing about SONY is it works and works and works. The level
of manufacturing competence is worth the extra money, I find. The pictures are
good enough to trust as a reference to what your gear is doing. If the price ever
comes into your wheelhouse in comparison to what you thought you might spend
on a mid-tier TV, always go SONY.

Thanks For The Input, Brad.

My Repair Guy Who Is Also A SONY Dealer, Said SONY Is Having A Tough Time Over The Last 5 Years & May Be Dropping The TV Line. He Recommended The Samsung As The Best Line Overall In His Opinion.

Just picked up a 4k cured 55" samsung. So far I love it. We have a 46" led in our den and it did take some getting used to the picture clairity and the fast motion. I picked it up at Costco for a good price and added the square trade 3 year warranty for a total of 5 years of warranty. I believe you can purchase the warranty as long as you do it in the first 30 days after purchase. Just my 2 cents.

Thinking About The 4K As My Next TV. Is The Picture That Much Better?
