Advice on TV buying?

Question

So I've already decided on either a 40 or 42 inch TV based on some measurements & preference. I have a max of $500 which a trip to Best Buy & Wal-Mart proved should be plenty. I have no internet (only web access is this android phone) so I don't think too much of Smart TV's.

I guess I'm just looking for advice on how to get something with a decent picture and that will last a good long while? Any general advice also appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, Vizio, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Sharp.



If none of those fit your budget, save up more money until one of them does.

Answer 2

Brands: Samsung, Sharp, Panasonic, Sony, LG, or Vizio. Anything like Dynex, Magnavox, Huawei, RCA, Polaroid is just junk.



Get a 1080p TV, preferably a LED set but a regular LCD set is still OK.



Many 40" TVs are Smart TVs but you don't have to use those features.
