Why do people need a New TV every year on black friday??

[Hawker]

Those people need to read the finance advice thread.

[Hawker]

They have taken care of their living expenses, paid off all debts, saved at least 20% of their income, and have money left over to burn. That's why.

This isn't it at all.

Who was that dude that got mobbed at wal-mart? ConanrulesNBC?

My tv is 9 years old. I dont even know what kind it is, but the picture is nice.

BF deals on monitors you say? Unless you can find me an OLED 27-32" 4k 144hz HDR10 monitor with 1ms or less input lag that has a BF sale on it, I'm not interested. Keep that IPS shit.

No, it's usually poor people putting priorities out of order. Like those people who ride the bus and have no car, and live in low income housing on food stamps...but they have that iPhone 11 Pro though with the $250 AirPod Pros. They could literally buy a good beater car for the amount of money spent on the phone+earbuds.

This.

It's poor peoples dreams, have to have the latest phone/tv/other useless shit.
Everything brand name to show off, but in reality broke as fk.

Think my tv is about 4 years old, 55" LG 4K uhd, unless it breaks how is a new one noticeably better?

I paid $1200 new for my Samsung UN65KS8000 back in 2016 and you can't find it today for less than $750 used. I didn't buy the OLED at the time because the input lag was higher.
People today see 4k black friday and they jump on it without even checking to see if it's OLED or HDR10, thinking they have the best 4k set out there.

[highwhey]

I have an oled 4k tv with hdr10. I rarely use it tbh, it's easier to just watch the mandolorian and watchmen on my pc.

It's not like these aps are airing high quality content anyways. HbO compresses the sh1t out of their content.

I cannot stand projector TVs. I just can't enjoy watching them in home. Maybe I Just had shitty ones I've consumed media on.

While it's true that a 65 inch TV has a better picture than a 65 inch projection, it also takes up a lot more space. I actually project onto my wall, I set up an 84 inch screen. It's not 4K but 1080p is good enough for me until I upgrade and get a mancave. It makes sports and movies enjoyable to watch. The best projectors could get you a scene like your theater. Of course lighting is an issue too. But that's the dream.

Most people are passive ****s, who have no desire for productive hobbies so they buy TVs.

Many people buy shit tier TVs because of pricing. Or you can slowly upgrade over time and sell the old TV for a discount and make some of your money back along the way besides dropping a grand or two on a top tier TV. Sometimes more. Honestly I don't love TV that much to drop thousands of dollars at once. Some people do though. To each their own.

But dont you have to need one?

I lived in a 295 sqaure ft studio apt so the biggest TV I can get is 40 inches
