Only 60Hz refresh rate. Does it matter?

How big of a videophile are you?

How big of a videophile are you?

Not even sure what that means. Basically I just want to watch football.

 

[Mister CIA]

Has anyone seen any good deals on Himalayan salt crystals?  I have been pretty down lately, so it must be negative ions in the air.

Piece of crap?

 

[jps]

60 refresh rate is bad for sports.  You want 240 or at the very least 120 rate.  

 

[Hawkeye21]

Should work just fine for you, especially for that price.  Sometimes you can see a difference with fast motion because of the refresh rate but it's not that big of a deal.

Might want to look at https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-50-inch-Ultra-Smart-LED/dp/B07D4FQB8S/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1531751723&sr=1-3&keywords=Toshiba+50"+4K+Fire+Edition+TV&smid=ANSF0RE9FUP82

A few dollars more, but bigger, has Fire TV built in and is a better brand

It's fine for what it is.  Maybe not "mancave certified", but perfectly fine for an office or bedroom TV.  If years ago you told me that a 43" 1080P smart TV, with built in wifi, would be under $200 I wouldn't have believed you.

Damn, and it's 4k, with HDR capability!

but not 120 Hz....

 

[Nipsey]

I'm looking for something that won't break in a month and has a great picture. Willing to pay more. Don't want to get stuck with something lousy because it's on sale. Reviews on all these sets scare me off.

 

[heckmanm]

smile URL unresponsive for me past the home page (spotlight deals, electronics, etc. links)

OK - "electronics" worked. The "spotlight" link just went blank page.

 

[tonydead]

If you still having problems with the website Prime home page just get into regular amazon and click the search bar to prime day, then search.

Try to stick with a name brand TV then.  Something like Samsung, LG and Sony.

I have a few year old 55" Sony in my basement that cost me $2k when purchased.  Any of the TVs you mentioned, aside from size, are better than it. 

Just a few things to consider if buying a new TV today, in terms of technology if it's to be a "primary TV".  Get one that is 4k capable, as well as HDR and if watching sports or other fast action, get one with at least 120 Hz.  Getting one that's "smart", to me, is optional as you can get a separate fire TV or roku or whatever to connect to it (and replace when something new on the "smart stuff" comes along).

lol i still can't get anywhere 

OOOPS

Down for me.

I did pick up a pair of bluetooth headphones for $15.

Missed out on the $15 red ones, but they had the blue for $20 so I snagged it.

Tech wise, it's the best one you've linked to.  Personally I'm not crazy about the stand, but to each their own on that.  It also has built in Google assist, which I've never used. 

It's about twice the price as the others you've looked at.

They have new deals that open up throughout the day and give you the time they open. You can preview what the products are ahead of time if you are willing to wade through the giant list of stuff, but won't know what the price is until they go live.
