We have three 4k smart tvs two Vizio,one Sony. The picture quality of Vizio seems better then the Sony. However one of the Vizio units has been problematic with issues that appear suddenly and disappear on thier own. When connected to the internet Vizio pushes firmware updates without consent. I suspect that might be part of it.

It's a big room so a bigger screen would be nice but wall space is at a premium because it's an open floor plan and we have a very big fireplace to work around and a ton of windows on the other walls. I do not want to hang the tv over the fireplace. Just not a fan of that look.

cat for scale.


This is the NU8000, so far so good. very good picture and surprisingly good sound. if you view on angles, it washes out a lot more than the Vizio it replaced.

Did one of you Hosers post in here recently about getting a new tv set up? Looking for recommendations on a new large screen (55-65" screen) and sound bar.

Before you settle on screen size consider the room size. How big a TV should I buy? makes for better viewing experience.

Hmmm - according to that website we should get a 105" tv based on our room size and viewing distance. I have a cardboard box from one of our new doors and I'm going to cut it the size of the potential tv screens and put it on the wall in that spot and see if it looks too big.

Although size definitely matters it's not all that matters! I want to get something that isn't going to die on us after the warranty runs out or have glitches with the smart tv aspect like Smoke mentions with that Vizio. Was hoping someone had a specific make/model they could recommend. Have been reading reviews for a few days and haven't really narrowed it down at all.

Aesthetically, the larger one fits your space much better! Thanks for the info on the NU8000 - we do have a lot of angled seats since we have a big sectional and some loungers so not all of the best seats face the tv.

I`d rather watch a TV than a bit of cardboard

It's not bad, but it's noticeable over the old Vizio I had in place. The Samsung has really deep blacks if you sit dead center, but appears a bit washed out if you sit on the end of the couch perpendicular to it in my pics [close side]. Sony panels with IPS might be better.

the vizio is 4 years old, d-series irrc, and we've always had sound-sync issues with vizios, even my last 55" one (e-series).

I still have a 55" Panasonic Plasma that I love in the bedroom that will never get replaced, despite 4:3 bars and the food network logo burned in.


use rtings.com -- they are technical reviews, but test EVERYTHING.


I really wanted to go OLED, but my plasma got burn-in pretty quick, and OLED is still susceptible to it so I just went QLED (which is just a gimmicky term). But OLED really blows everything else away in terms of picture quality and there's so decent deals on them, but they are more $$$.

I think that's diagonal?

@Fujidave maybe she has a full box of crayons and is very talented. LOL

Given the crap most broadcasters are sending over the air-waves, I think you'd be better off with the cardboard.

IF we move to the house in Shepherd, we will almost certainly have to go wall mounted flat screen.
Probably something in the 55" area and it won't be an expensive model, possibly even used.
My phone says 60 outside. The thermostat says 58 inside. I find it rather chilly.

Good night my peeps. The Eagle poops tomorrow. And the deli will have something good to eat while I wait.
