Black friday

I found a 65 inch Panasonic tv the other day, main tv been goosed for a while. Gone to it this morning (Amazon prime) and there are now about 20 alternatives and so cheap in comparison, Hisense for example. Bit out of date with these things but they all seem good and sub £400?

Only thing it's good for is getting the best of the past years' tech but, if it was widely regarded as the best, it's usually not featured or almost sold out so there are like 2 left in stock; so you're either stuck with even deeper discounts on the 💩 that had already been discounted, because it's 💩, or having to lower yourself to the "dork standing in line for a new iPhone" level to possibly grab one of the few left.

They like to say consumerism but it's just a manufacturer garage sale to help make way for next years' 💩.

That's a lot of 💩...

Cheers, will take a look. Sure everything was a grand and over last time we replaced one, ten years or so like? 👍

The 65" one (Hisense) I use as my PC monitor has been solid for 2+ years now. Yes, I would have preferred a LG B4 OLED at the time but I saved about 1.5k by not going that route. Along with phones, TV's are the poster children for "obsolete in 3-4 years" tech, so it pays to look around at reviews and, most importantly, know what your primary use for it will be and where you're open to compromise.

rtings for me but just for TV's...not arsed enough about phones apart from the very basics that I can read about on any review site.

And yes, I used to do a lot of detail work in 4K where it pays to have a good eye on things just due to sheer size...I also don't sit 2 feet away from it like you would a standard size monitor either, so it's not as crazy as it sounds.
