2023 TVs are Trash.

[Storyteller12]

Went to Walmart yesterday and looked at the TV section while waiting on the wife. Realized almost half of the TVs had backlights burned out or defective pictures (double images, blurry or pixelated looking)

Vizio had all there TVs with bad backlights. Samsung still has the edgelit failures like the “nu” series and Hisense had the double image on both of there displays.

LGs weren't turned on so I'm assuming they failed already and they were heavily discounted.

Manufacturers should be ashamed. They can't even keep their display models working for the 1 year they're on display.

Should keep all of us busy though. Lol

I am saddened I can't recommend any brand or tv model to anyone except OLEDs, or the most expensive ones.

I always say buy a used one of a model that is known to last more than 1 year, last good Samsungs were the MU series in 2017(!!!), they fail the backlights if driven really hard for years but at least the panel lasts.

Now for LG bottom line it's all been crap for years, panel/backlight failure.

Wish Panasonic still made good stuff.

i wont buy a new one or even pay for a used one they are all crap and plenty are given away for free these days so not even worth repairing broken ones unless its for own use . i have 2 old ones that i have kept running for years without needing much repairs pre led backlight sets . must admit i dont really look at the tv as much as listen to it .

Sounds right, I won't even keep and use a tv made after 2017, don't trust them, I trust my 2014 sharp running less 4 cofs more than I do any new tv...and I think it will last longer.

Meanwhile in the UK we can buy TVs that come with a 6 year warranty as standard.

Something happened in that shop for me, maybe cleaning companies, overvoltages, tv of todays are very fragile, needs special attentions.

Re: 2023 TVs are Trash.

i will not judge any brand because of failed LED BL. the blame goes to user when he set the TV one years long on 100% or Dynamic setting. Chinese know this behavior, this why they set in Service menu the real Value at User setting of BL always -15 like Hisense does.

failed Panel or dead EMMC all of them piece of SH°°T

Agree, BIGGEST time waster there is, I only recommend it if you can not get out and do JUST ABOUT anything else. Has contributed in a big way to the epidemic of obesity in the U.S. and many other countries. On the other hand maybe tv and video games are keeping those fat kids off the streets, where they might be doing drugs or getting into or causing other trouble.

Got a warning from smdflea, for gibberish in a technical thread, this thread seems to be about opinions of new tvs, no matter, I'm going where the mods aren't so UPTIGHT. Pretty dead here anyway.

Re: 2023 TVs are Trash.

yeah have to agree with smdflea but disagree with why he sent it to people who replied, should be more towards the OP and yeah probably this thread should belong in the lounge subforum.

I saw what was removed..... Your tirades & name calling are the reasons, not the context of the discussion. That kind of drivel has never been tolerated in tech threads. I'm actually surprised diif even nibbled your bait, he's normally a bit more refined than that.....but that said; you've threatened to quit BCN plenty of times.... Are you leaving for real this time?

Re: 2023 TVs are Trash.

Probably, I thought you said at one point that you wanted to "sell" the site, let me know if it changes hands. AND the refined diff has been DOGGING my ass ever since I joined this site SO that's BULLSHIT.

I'm mostly here to help people, if I can't do it without HARASSMENT then I won't bother.

Re: 2023 TVs are Trash.

You are a real funny guy, I don't like you and you are certainly not why I am here, as far as your pal diff, he's not much of a contributor, all anyone need do is check both of our last 200 posts, it's NO CONTEST.
