TV died :/

@CactuarJoe What resolution are you looking for? Costco has a 43" 4k Hisense for $200, and a 32" 1080p for $110.
Unfortunately, both are "smart" and Costco doesn't seem to sell any that aren't. There are commercial panels that are -not- smart., but those are significantly more expensive. Amazon has a 43" 4k Samsung but it's $450.
@wheeljack Weird how the not-smart is more expensive
But I found a passable 32" LG for $170, easy and done. -

Alright, TV replaced, toilet drained, where's the nearest burger joint I need the greasiest piece of shit cheeseburger the law will allow.
Had a frustrating moment where I thought this TV's latency was *atrociously bad* and I was gonna have to return it, until I noticed the power saving options were all turned on >_>
There's always eight layers of bullshit on these smart TVs, huh?

@trixter @CactuarJoe I have two smart TVs that are set to dumb mode, and then to add insult to injury, I have both of them connected to shitty $20 Onn Google TV boxes from Walmart.
