Think I might pull the trigger on this one.

Amazon.com: VIZIO M43-C1 43-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED HDTV: Electronics

Get the new 8K tv that was just released :tup:

it's crazy how cheap tv's are getting. 10 years ago that would have been 5,000 easily lol

:iagree:

Samsung has 2 and Vizio has 2 that I am looking at. may take a ride out to best buy and wally world tonight to stare/compare random models.

I'd go with sharp, but everything is pricey for my needs compared to other models. And I will NEVER buy ANYTHING LG related EVER again. My first HDTV was a LG which died in under a year. how? The stupid freaking IR receiver within the tv literally exploded. TV worked, but you had to manually get up and change channels. SCREW THAT!

If anyone has a specific Vizio or Samsung that they prefer, send me the Amazon link. I'll be pulling the trigger this weekend. I NEED MY VIDEO GAMES AND NETFLIX

Yeah, sharp does tend to be a bit higher.
the IR receiver blew up? never heard of that before. :ugh2:

i literally watched it shoot out a few sparks and then burn slightly. TV worked fine, but manually changing inputs, channels, and volume became beyond daunting.

OK,

Have you opened it up to check the capacitors?!?! I'll put $1000 down that replacing a few capacitors will fix it :twocents:

I've been able to fix a number of TVs and monitors over the years using that method. I've fixed ones from 6 months old to 10 years old. Works every time. I usually replace most every capacitor (I don't mess with the big ones though - they'll mess you up if you're not careful to discharge them properly). It costs about ~$13 including shipping typically :tiphat:

EDIT: nevermind... no bet :icon17: You saw flames shoot out the back?!? Our Z's can't even do that :eek: ... or can they? :icon08:

No ... that is not my shot ... although, I wish it was.

It's the DU/SD board within the unit. It's a known flaw of the tv apparently. Stupid boards are sold out everywhere and even then they cost $600. The board basically fried itself it sounds like.

:tup: yah, my phone goes dead near end of day. just let it go to vm. :icon17:


that is so true! :iagree: i forget which one we bought for the living room a few yrs back, but it was like less than 1/3 of wat i thought it would be. :tup:

Well isn't that poopy :thumbsdown:

:tup: i have a sharp brand something model. i dont remember wat it was but it's nice. my kids luv it when they play their games on it.

i watch tv in my music room on my small 22" actually. :icon17:
