Hey guys!
Love the forum here and am glad to say I found this site otherwise I would have made another mistake and bought a low quality surround sound system instead of really researching and finding some nice but economic pieces.
So I have my new audio set up (Denon AVR E300, BIC America front and center and back speakers, Dayton 1200 Sub), not the best but a start for a college student, but I now want to upgrade my TV. (Current: 32 inch 720p Samsung)
I've been looking at Black Friday ads and everything else on amazon and cnet. I was hoping I could come here to get some specific recommendations on my situation and needs.
I don't have a strict price range but the cheaper the better. I was hoping to spend no more than 600 dollars on a new TV. If this puts me out of the game instantly and no one here can recommend TVs with that low of a price tag let me know.
As for what I need/want. The biggest reason I want to upgrade is I want 1080p which is almost a given now a days. As for refresh rate or anything of the other technologies/terms I'm not sure what I need. I think I'd want to go to 120 HZ for refresh rate but like I said i'm not positive. As far as size goes I just want something bigger. I'm fine with going as big as i can get without losing quality in the TV. The only thing I should add here is it's going to be used in a dorm room. The seating is approximately 7.5 feet away from the TV.
Although I think Smart TVs are cool and have their pros, I don't think I need a smart TV. I have my Xbox One which can stream Netflix and any other things I will be using. I also am able to use my Computer if I need/want to. So I don't see a need for a Smart TV in my situation.
Seeing as my price range is low and my interest isn't very high, I'm not worried about 4k or 3D technologies.
I can't think of anything else you guys would need to know about my situation to help me out other than I would like this TV to last me a few years down the road and be able to "keep up" in a sense with technology.
Any and all input is welcome!
Thanks much,
