I was pissed when I saw this post. But! Costco is the greatest. They offer price protection within 30 days. I was over the 30 days but thought I would apply anyway. Just found out they credited my account $400!!! 💰 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFanatic 3,217 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 So we are redoing the kitchen as I type this. Counters went in on Sat, faucets, water, appliances on Monday. Backsplash yesterday. Grout today. So we are putting the kitchen back together and plug in the little kitchen TV. One of my kids stepped on it and it's gone. Finding another 28 inch TV in a big box store (or any store) is impossible. The wife doesn't want to wait a week for one, so she wants a 24 inch. Ah well, it saves me money.

KarmaPolice 15,943 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Decided to get a couple cheapies that maybe the teen will watch with me. Bought the 4K player AD linked in the thread, and at Best Buy bought Rogue One for $9 and Spiderman: Homecoming for $15. I also have Apocalypse Now at home. Now it's time to write down some titles I don't have at the house for the start of my Christmas list. I am sure the Hitchcock pack will be on there since I only have Psycho on BR.

Senor Schmutzig 460 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I'm in the market for a couple of new TV's but with one caveat regarding sound. I would prefer to listen to the sound over headphones, preferably BT. Is that a thing with these smart TV's? I want to put a TV in our loft but don't necessarily want the sound to carry all over the house, hence the headphone requirement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you get a replacement TV? It's a well known LG issue apparently. Unfortunate the five or six sites I looked at that recommended this TV all failed to mention it. I did sign up for the LG Forum and am still waiting for the "Please confirm your email" email to come through so I can post. I have read that the issue is tied to 2.0 HDMI trying to send signals to 2.1 devices but I don't think that is my issue given it is a TV speaker. Tried one other thing I saw somewhere. I hard-wired the TV to the router and turned off the wifi connection. Long shot but what the heck. What I have learned from this is that if you buy ANY LG TV, this may be an issue. It seems wide-spread across their entire inventory. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
