I have an 85 inch Samsung in the living room. Love it. The size of a tv depends on the distance. Too big of a tv for the room will be grainy. I have a 55 in the bed room and a 65 in front of the toilet.

I don't think I've ever seen one that big. What does an 85er even look like? I think the biggest I've ever owned was a 60 inch. I loved it but that was back when tvs were much bulkier.

BTW @Jackcrevol do you really think a 50 would work in a bedroom? I'm not opposed to a larger screen, especially since there doesn't seem to be a huge price difference. Also, one thing I always hated about the tv we had was that the sound was very local. By that I mean you could hear it up close and even all the way in the kitchen but it was hard to hear sitting in bed (facing it). Any solutions on how to do the sound? I'd really like to give us a good game day experience. So much of life is limited because of illness but this is maybe something I can give us if we can get a decent price.

No, I dont. I think the Samsung, non-smart TV - 4K or 1080P is perfect for bedrooms.

Most entry level TV's are lit from 4 corners, (as opposed to center lit), this dim picture is beneficial as bedrooms are typically low light conditions.

I know the TV's sold at big boxes are different than at smaller premium local stores. One key difference would be premium speakers and amplification (think Harmon Kardon in an Infiniti versus the AM/FM tuner in my Honda)😂


Ive dabbled around with various sound bars and bluetooth speakers. They are good for music and movies. I like the Yamaha sound bars, which help to enchance the sound, esp bass and mid range project it outward.

To answer your question I think TV speakers are rear mounted and ambient noise washes the sound out. People turn sound waay up which gives an uneven sound. The sound bars are more static, iyam.

One thing you may try is to not wall mount and keep TV about 1' or so away from wall, to let sound bounce off and fill room.

There are aftermarket equalizer apps you can download that allow you to toggle highs, mids, and lows to your soecifications.

In a previous life I was into spending big money on home audio. My parents has an amplifier that they bought in late 60's, Marantz I believe. It weighed 40 lbs.

Threw it away in grad school, worked fine.

Saw on Ebay they sell for $500 nowadays🤦🏼‍♂️

I would look into sound bar systems. They don't take up much room and are fairly economical.

Unless y'all wanna start a fund I think I will go with the budget pick, especially on short notice.😆 I'm drained after replacing the ipad. But you're right, OLEDs and 8ks are amazing. I would love to get one one day!

Now if you have an employee discount or something that "fell off a truck" I'm all ears! 👹

Maybe @Enki_Amenra can help for fell off the truck. Found that sweet computer for 3 hundo or something 😂

Cheap sound bar might fix that

That guy has done more real tangible good for VolNation members than any body else on this site.

I don't giva💩 if he was right or not about any recruit or coach, or why he told us what he did...the guy is a far better man than every single one of his idiot VN critics and him not being around here anymore is a bad thing for folks in need.

I’ve said twice now and will continue to do so. I was in a down point in my career, during the height of the pandemic and shortages. I voiced it on here because I was at my wits end and just needed to vent. He reached out to see what I needed, monetary or supplies on here. Go back and read. It was frustration due shortages for my little people and I will never forget it and I will continually take up for him. I still know how to roll up my sleeves. 😤
