Yep, all Best Buy's for example can be ordered online, except those that say In-Store Only.

If you can bump the budget up to $350, and wait until Black Friday, Walmart will have a 55" HDTV by TCL with a built-in Roku.

Jon Do posted:Cool! Should I have to worry about compression format, or size/bitrate? VLC on her old laptop couldn't cut some of the larger HD files, and my buddy's TV needed specific formats. There are plenty of smart TVs, but this is the first time I've seen one with the Roku name attached. Bottom left corner: https://blackfriday.com/stores/walmart/ads/black-friday/page-3 Not sure how it will do with your files, I've never used a Roku before.

LED uses the same panel tech as LCD, just a different type of backlight. All LED TVs are LCD TVs, but not all LCD TVs are LED TVs.

Prairie Bus posted:I'm about to pull the trigger on a 50" Vizio E-series based on info from this thread. However, the stand won't fit where we currently fit our TV, as it's too wide. I'd like to avoid a wall mount if possible. The TV has VESA-compliant mounting holes, 200mm x 200mm, so any stand or mount that can do that and hold the TV's weight (28lbs) will work.

Yep. 37" was popular years ago but died off as 40"+ sizes became affordable. Nowadays it's either extinct or close to it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Vizio M series is real 120hz while the E series is simulated 120hz.

I just unplugged one HDMI cable so I could plug in another, and had trouble getting it plugged in. Then I found I couldn't plug the first cable back in: WTF https://imgur.com/gallery/igpQo Think this is fixable by an end user, or will this need a trained tech? Also, open to suggestions on a cheap, simple but good receiver or HDMI splitter or switcher.

Bob Socko posted:It's been years since I worked retail, but I remember people used to buy a big tv for the Super Bowl, then return it after the game. It might be worth checking your local stores next week for marked down returned TVs. Costco put the kibosh on that a while back, or so I thought.

Somebody near me is selling a 65" Sony X900C with a defective panel for $450. Is it worth it to pick this up and try to obtain a replacement panel?
