I really have a very good experience with my Samsung TV. According to your budget, I would suggest you to check for Samsung UN65RU7100FXZA. It is a 65 inch TV and it may come in your budget also. I have heard very good reviews of it so far.0

Get a Samsung curve. Best decision I ever made!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

As mentioned, forget the choice of in built apps but make your choice on the best TV viewing capability you can get for your money, you can always add apps using a separate streaming advice but you can't get rid of a crap viewing experience.0

I hate my "Smart" TV. Bought one last your as an "upgrade" for my 32" Samsung. Went with a Samsung for the upgrade. Won't buy a "smart" TV again. Slow, buggy, advertisements on the menu bar. If I could find a HD-4K 42"-55" TV that was light and thin, and just a TV, not some wannabe oversized tablet with a rubbish operating system I'd be happy. My plan for my current TV is to disconnect it from the internet and buy a Firestick or something like it, hell a Raspberry Pi would function better!

As with anything that's why it's always best to do research and read independent reviews before deciding to make a purchase. You seem to suggest that all smart TV's are like this but that is certainly not true and my one is very good.jnhuasd said:I hate my "Smart" TV.

You can't buy a half decent TV that isn't smart. You don't have to use the smart functions if you prefer to use an external box.neweste said:Do you think it would be better to buy a TV with a smart TV or a simple TV and buy a set-top box for it. What will work faster?

5 year warranty at Costco if you live near to one. All tv's working in warehouse for you to view.
Just need to be a member or know someone who is.
Also available online to non members but they add a surcharge.
Excellent customer support from this American company
