Pro tip: Look for a hospitality TV, they come in smart and non-smart versions. Generally they're made tougher also. You do pay more vs a Walmart pos though.
Pro tip 2: Avoid the Samsung ones, their quality control is shit.
also don't buy LG, as they design devices that will brick themselves with no way to recover the firmware and will simply tell you you're shit out of luck
I dont know I had my LG C4 for 2 years now and it's one of the best pictures Ive had.
Oh yeah my LG OLED TV is fantastic for picture quality. although I'm still getting used to judder, and don't know how to fix that on panning shots. no combination of settings seem to work for me.
but I bought that before the sound system and before I had first-hand experience of how few fucks LG gave about me as a customer
I usually just search for my TV models calibration settings. Either reddit or some av forum usually has some good settings that work for me.
I've had a Dolby atmos boxed 5.1 sound bar with sub and rear speaker from Hisense since I got it. I think maybe once a year it losses handshake but just restart everything seems to fix it
unfortunately nobody else's recommendations have worked so I sat there rewatching several shots over and over again with different settings lol
Do you know which models or years?
they did this to my two year old soundbar a year ago, which made the entire 5.1 setup useless since it's all driven by the soundbar
Deeper protip:
Commercial Display
Best protip:
Don't buy a TV
Be careful with commercial displays, the refresh rate might be ridiculously low.
And brightness is pitiful because it's going to be on 24/7
Oh you can get 120 refresh rates on them
And OLED too
Just a matter of being willing to spend 5x-10x what you would for a data harvester
