I got one of these around the same time - the 55" TCL and have been really happy with it - great picture and features and fantastic price. Reviews have been extremely good - then again I'm not a huge audiophile/videophile and I don't care that this is a lesser known name - I just couldn't see spending twice the money on a set with a bigger name and only marginally better ratings....
From what I know most tv's nowadays use virtually the same parts and are just marketed under a different name. Yeah, that is a sweet TV for sure... if the cat ever went on a rampage and broke it I'd go out and buy another one.

Grabbed attention when it came out for sure.

Cable.
I tape 3 or so games or events each day and fast forward to the action of a game. Takes about an hour to watch all the action in an NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL game and replays.
So I'm fine.
Laughing though at people who tell me they cut cable and then watch the same content online, acting like they are a more intellectual superior being...
I know right. Why pay for something when you already have it, it's like paying twice.

OH SNAP!!!
I got to thinking... if this is a small town like they say (I haven't googled it so don't really know), this could turn into a "where were you when" kind of scenario, kind of like us with say the Balloon game or the freaking forward pass game. If I lived up there I'd for sure hit the hotel up and watch with the rest of the town.
Jets had better win tonight so they have a buffer, LV ... although a one hit wonder loaded team, will be deadly at home. Go Jets!

^^^^ @T&CI use Sling at our place in DC, but have two major reasons why I keep DTV at home
1) DVR..I watch nary one thing live.. I tried an online DVR 18 months ago, it sucked but absolutely was most likely user error. Do you have any experience with one?
2) NFL..I need the Ticket. Here is the one thing I am starting to watch live..and I do not want to wait till 8PM or whatever it is to watch on GamePass
Fix for those two, and I am all in on Sling.
BTW, just skipping commercials is worth $75 to me.
We are opposite with the DVR thing... I watch everything "live" but our viewing habits are probably different, I have no use for one.
Regarding the Ticket, even when I had Directv, I dumped the ticket probably 10 years ago... If the Bills game is on regular TV fine. If not I just dial it up on the computer or watch at the BBB around the corner. Got tired of spending $300 a year on something I already had.
I've got to say, it felt/feels pretty good to get out from under the wing of a money grabbing monster like Directv. Now if I could only figure out a way to create electricity for the house lol.

figured I would bump this thread. I have a 55" samsung tv that recently got this horizontal line across the screen (real thin). So unexpectedly the wife and I are in the market to find a new TV, were looking to have a budget around 1k for the TV and since there are some very knowledgeable guys in here, I wanted to know what your thoughts would be on the best bang for your buck on that type of budget?
If you have any questions about preferences or things that may help, let me know.
I bought one of these back in December at walmart and it's the best tv I've ever owned by far. Crisp clear picture, easy to use, has inputs for anything you want, tons of free movies etc., and it would be less than half of your budget.

A case of bad timing:
'Nobody's happy about it': Power outage set for Rossburn, Man., during Jets game
Manitoba Hydro has planned a power outage in western Manitoba town from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday
CBC News · Posted: May 14, 2018 5:00 AM CT | Last Updated: 5 hours agoPeople in the town of Rossburn will have no power from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday, during the Jets playoff game against the Vegas Golden Knights. (Chris Seto/CBC)
People in the town of Rossburn, Man., will be cheering on the Winnipeg Jets in the dark Monday night.
Manitoba Hydro has scheduled a power outage for maintenance from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. — conflicting with Game 2 against the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL's Western Conference final.
John Kostecki, who owns the Rossburn Hotel, said a hydro employee put up a bulletin Friday about the outage in the small town 275 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.
"First thing that went through my mind was 'What, are they crazy?'" he said.
Manitoba Hydro needs to upgrade the substation's transformer and the planned outage notification came May 9, before the Jets beat the Nashville Predators in the second round of the NHL playoffs, a spokesperson said in an email.
"Generally, scheduled outages are planned days in advance to make sure staff are available, customers have plenty of advance warning and that it's scheduled for minimum inconvenience," the spokesperson said.
Kostecki said he understands the maintenance work needs to be done but the timing is not ideal.
"I would rather have hydro fix the problems instead of having an unplanned outage, but they maybe could have done Tuesday," he said, laughing. "Nobody's happy about it."
Fire dept. generator will fuel game
Over the weekend, Kostecki ran into the town's fire chief and they came up with a solution to the problem. The local fire department has a diesel-powered generator that needs to be run a few times a year and the chief is loaning it to the hotel, he said.
"Instead of just burning the diesel for nothing, we decided to wire up our satellite and our TVs in the bar and we're going to watch the game by candlelight and cook hotdogs on the barbecue," he said.
The hotel will charge patrons $10 at the door and all proceeds will go to the community's skating rink.
"We're trying to fix the roof, and put in some new lighting in there, so it's going to a great cause," Kostecki said.
The Winnipeg Jets face off against the Vegas Golden Knights at 7 p.m. CT Monday at Bell MTS Place.

This is a cut and paste comment I made on another site regarding cutting the Directv cord after 17 years:
Update: Signed up for the Sling TV blue package... $25 a month and has every show or channel we watched on Directv. NFL Network, Food channel, H&G, Nat Geo, History, etc. $75 a month savings for the same damn thing. Plus, Ruku has tons of movies and shows for free... and none of this accounts for what the antenna brings in.
One thing though, they won't use a prepaid credit card... so I have an American Express prepaid card that I'll just use up on food shopping and then throw it in the garbage, had to use my bank card.
If anyone is considering cutting the cable bill just look at the packages Sling offers and decide from there, best move I've made this year.Here is the entire thread: http://www.billievers.com/forums/showthread.php/33956-After-17-Years-I-m-Dumping-Directv

Caps with 6-2 win. Lead series 2-0 heading home to DC.
I live 5 miles as the crow flies from Amalie Arena... I stepped outside and could smell the stench coming from there, had to come back in. Tampa is going down Stormy Daniels style... no way they win this series, kind of makes going to work just a little more fun.

Thanks for letting me know.
He might have changed it or maybe I’m recalling regular season.
2nd intermission begins
Caps score 2 in the period.
One by a penalty from the goalie for interference. 5 seconds later Caps score taking a 4-2 lead.
I love how quiet Amalie Arena is... no way is tampa coming back in this series with the next two games on the road. Golden.
