According to rtings.com, the best TV for $300 or less, is the Hisense 55A7N, which is currently $260 @ Best Buy. A little smaller, because they don’t like making 58" TVs anymore. But has VRR, the only reason to get a new TV. Finally VRR is on cheaper TVs.
Vizio’s offerings aren’t that great, they want to charge for their brand name. Might as well get a cheaper brand, it’s just a TV, who cares.
If it isn’t on sale next month when I want to buy it, if I do, I might have to shell out $300 for it, so should just wait for a sale. I think this Vizio was over $300, or $300, I forgot. The Hisense is probably brighter, so probably looks better in brighter rooms, my room isn’t that bright though anymore.
Hisense has a Fire TV model, but a review says it’s too slow, probably even when not using the smart interface, just changing settings on different inputs. And I don’t want any Fire TV Amazon crap. Don’t really want Google crap either. They should sell me a dumb TV.
