Is That Dirt-Cheap TV Deal a Rip-Off?

[@daveclark8337]

I impulse bought a 65" TCL 6 series for $400ish at Best Buy right before covid hit. I'm so glad I made that purchase, because TV prices went crazy after that. And it's still going fine thousands of hours later.

[@Guez_art]

I bought a $250 75” tv for my patio about 3 years ago, still solid and great picture quality (4k QLED), but I would never buy that one for my home theater setup, can’t compare with a 75” OLED 4k TV. But still, those cheaper TV’s are great.

[@84jdgregory]

@@daveclark8337 I think that is the exact TV I replaced and will be going into my bedroom. I got it early 2019 for $800 though. $400 would’ve been a steal. Workhorse TV for sure.

I bought a Hisense 55” TV in 2019 Black Friday for $250 (the cheapest at that time for 55”) and it still works. Picture quality not bad either for a basic LCD TV. With all that said, I did just upgrade to a Bravia 7…and I’m wondering if that was necessary. Oh well, it is a nice TV.

I’m glad I got my 65” 4K TCL for $300 in 2017. It was a great gateway into the world of 4K and it ignited my hobby of collecting movies. However the HDR was absolutely terrible and it got a dead spot near the top. So I upgraded to an LG C3 last year and love it. But I’ll always have a soft spot for that Black Friday special TCL

The deals that you should skip are the off brands that you typically see a 75" 4K LED TV at around $500CAD. I remember a few Black Fridays ago Walmart stores in my area had a TV for that price.

Did my research for about a full week and pulled the plug on the LG. The first time I watched it was a 4K college game and I think I just stared at the pic for 10 minutes. However, I would not have purchased it for my HT system but it is just fine for the bedroom. So thanks again for another timely video.

As somebody working in the space the thing I think we need to talk about is consumer denial. Yesterday I had people asking me what the deals were going to be on Friday when I’ve been telling people all month the deals have been here. The cheap ain’t good and the good is already $500+ off.

To me, the marketing people play the normal yearly pricing cycle and have you believe that certain days are special. The graph (for the people who know where to find it), looks the same every year. Prices fall steadily until the new model comes out.

It is not like it was 10 years ago. Cheap TV's on black Friday, it just as cheap as there are on any other day. For the most part, the are good enough for most people. A TCL is is $300 now, and $200 on black Friday, is all the same. It will not be a worser TV just because it is on sale.

@ so for most people. Like 99.9% of people…a phone is more wasteful than a TV. I don’t know anybody upgrading TV’s every few years.

[@garfieldsmith332]

The majority of these "Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Boxing Day, are made to a specific low price point. They are cheap and usually come with a 90 day parts/30 day labour warranty. However the retailer will gladly sell you an extended warranty where they make more profit than on the TV. And many retail chains have them made to their specifications. And many of these TVs are sold with different model numbers by different retailers. Model XZY123, XYZ123A, XYZ123B are all the same however different model numbers means no price matching. This has been going on for a long time. Some models are only sold for these sales events. The retailer/manufacturer can put any MSRP they want on them, making the deals look bigger. Same goes for a lot of the clothing; those $100 sweaters on for $20 and in reality just $20 sweaters sold only for these big sales.

The Sharp I bought from Best Buy 9½ years ago is still fine. Only a snob would complain it doesn't have eARC. Well, the Polk MagniFi One bar+sub connected to it didn't utilize such tech at the time so it was of no bother to me. Still served me well enough. Just weeks ago I retired that and plugged in a Samsung Q850 7.1.2 speaker setup via ARC and it's better than ever. Yes, Sharp still makes TVs. I don't need a Samsung one to "talk" with the hookups because HDMI CEC is a thing. When the 4K player is turned on so is the TV which then wakes up the sound system. Turn off the TV and everything else goes night-night. It was bought as a returned item, a common occurrence for old people. They decide to finally toss out the old Zenith CRTV and replace it with something modern, knowing nothing about today's techno mumbo jumbo. For some reason they'll opt for a 55", get it home, then realize it's way too big for their liking despite the fact it was _right there on display_ on the sales floor when shopping. So a return is filed and the price is marked down. With their poor judgment aside, do yourselves a favor and measure before buying. No need to over/underestimate the unit to place in the living space in conjunction with the distance people plan to sit from said TV.

I find it’s easiest to make the purchase when you hover over the buy button after you put in all the information for a couple hours until you accidentally click it and it’s not your fault

[@maemae7063]

It shame most TV brand doesn’t do trade-in or recycle program. That why it hard to replace old tv to get another one.

[@jaguarxta]

That is a problem

[@SuperSaiyan172]

Samsung does

[@jaguarxta]

@@SuperSaiyan172 I will have to check on that with Samsung for the future. Although hopefully that would be within the next decade (2030s) for me. My Extended warranty ends in 2030.

ordered a hisense u7n for $487 + tax, i know its a budget model but i hope i made a solid choice

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

🎉absolutely! I have seen U7N in BESTBUY beside X90L , Bravia7. U7N look better than both ! 😊 I thought 💭 I was biased , so I brought family member to see it . They were even MORE wow 🎉by it than me ! Wanted 1 right there 😂

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

FYI …. SHARP TV used to produce 2010-late 2011 GLOBAL LED 🎉. Anyone has “ my $4000 SONY . LG …LED from 2010, 2011 “ they r saying they have Sharp TV . But they don’t know that . Hisense Bought Sharp in 2015 , Toshiba in 2018. They r d modern BEST LEDs ! 🎉 If any one ☝🏼 hear u Rave about yr U7N n mocking u . lol they mistake your U7N as 15 lb light weight plastic Hisense Roku tv 📺. Like the Apple headphones there $20 we always mock them how crappy they r ! They do not reflect the high quality Apple 🍎 Air bud pro2.

I took a chance on a vizio M series a few years back.... never again, lasted 2.5 years. Replacement LG C4

[@Andrew-qb3oq]

Ive considered it many times, but my TVs seem to never die. My 2010 65in Mitsubishi LED still works perfectly and my 32 inch hyundai lcd tv from like 2005 that ive had since college is still chugging along in the garage. My bigger worry is that id buy one of these black friday tvs on whim and be stuck with substandard albiet huge tv for decade. 😂

[@ChazWyvern]

There's a TV I would love it's on sale at the moment its a Panasonic but its out of our price range our current Hisense has decided to recently start to play games and the insurance company are dragging their feet 😢

[@Jelliott424]

Best Buy is really pushing that 179.00 55 inch TLC

[@MateoVilla-pz7cg]

Guess I wasn't only one thinking about that TV. 😂

[@Jelliott424]

@ I still can’t decide after watching the video I almost feel like it’s a scam 😂😂😂😂

[@JesusSavesSinners]

If you Buy it at Best Buy you should have a 30 day return Window. If you don't like it you can easily return it. I have Liked Every TCL TV I have bought. TCL makes Outstanding TVs at all different prices.

[@ander3024]

Picked a LG OLED C4 for 1197 Really happy as for now, haven't seen it that cheap before

[@jzpat]

size?

My friend was a rep years back with a major company. He said the TVs on Black Friday deals that are sold just for the sale isn't expected to last a full year. He said the same thing to avoid them. Now if the TV is carried in several types of stores, it's somewhat different as long as it was sold before the big sale.

[@randybradley4151]

Well duh. That's so the consumer can buy a new TV once next Black Friday rolls in.

[@Patrick-ly6zk]

Caleb could u recommend upgrading from a sony xh9005 2020 TV in europe to hisense u7n...would there be a noticeable improvement? thanks

[@danielparrish5438]

the brand of TV will determine if it's a real deal .... there are certain brands that make low quality TVs and should be avoided (RCA and ONN have a bad rep for poor quality) but if you can find a Samsung or LG at a good price then buy it ..

[@nickspeck]

That sidebar about the olives didn't feel personal at all. I hope your friends aren't subscribed. 😉

I just picked up a 95inch tv for 200 dollar , but people are coming out of the tv... But its not 3D 😢

[@GenX_in_the_wild]

Premium tech does not always last longer. Panasonic VT60 die left and right because they are maxed out and run hot. Meanwhile basic models run since almost 2 decades..

[@jaguarxta]

That is like 11 years ago. Technology has changed since then.

[@jinheu5119]

They have a 55 inch lg c4 for 1074 is that a good deal should I get it

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

Its really bad deal. WOLD is dated now seen by ppl use Mini LED? QD-oled. Because they are Severly Dim/ Blue Casted screen/ everyting looks like cloudy day cold winter 🥶 day. Then they ONLY have 25% of====Color Volume /density of Hisense U8N, Tcl Qm851. IF u go to Bestbuy, u will see all the demo are Blue+ Black or some sort of, to cover up their Lack of Warmth n Thin Color. 😮

[@ashwanibhola3766]

Just don't show your significant other the part where "Relax" starts playing, or you might get a different result from this video 😅

[@Aaron-ox8ye]

I got a Hisense A7. I didn't go for the cheapest, i think this one was pretty good. Have you reviewed it?

[@jaguarxta]

It is a Full Array Backlight (meaning not an edge lit). Does have VRR support. Still. No Local dimming. Which also means no Full Array Local Dimming either. 4K 60Hz (meaning not 4K 120Hz). Has around 300-nit peak brightness Not so bright for a bright room like sunlit room. Not a QLED aka Mini LED. Decent quality for the price. Still with a little more money you can get a much better experience with a QLED aka Mini LED with Full Array Local Dimming, higher peak brightness, and 4K 120Hz.

[@Aaron-ox8ye]

@jaguarxta thank you. I guess I picked a pos

[@jaguarxta]

@@Aaron-ox8ye It is not bad as what it is. In fact I was going to recommend the 43" version to Cosmin Vilcu. Since this model does have array of back lights, VVR aka Variable Refresh Rate, and some other decent features. Since they said they could not afford more than $200. We just need to know what we are getting into with x model that we are getting. Just not at the level that is acceptable for Digital Trends recommendations. Still, a decent TV for that price range. In fact, I would say that is a good call for that price range.

[@Aaron-ox8ye]

@jaguarxta I paid $239 for a 55 inch

[@Tony-qe3fl]

I’m in the market for a gaming TV (XSX/PS5) and i’m eyeing both TCL QM7 or Hisense U7N… been waiting basically all year for this moment but I still can’t decide whether to buy one or wait.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

ABSOLUTELY U7N. I have seen it SO many times in person in store since I live 4 min walk from bestbuy that I have seen all sorts of tvs. U7N 65” Looks like $1800 TV. Its So strange they make it so elegant. Contrast: SONY X93L --73000:1 (High gloss type of semi gloss) 😊 SONY X90L--42000:1 (Matted screen, fine grain starch visual ) Bravia7----100000:1 (MATTED crusty screen) 😮so will Still look Worse than U7N. N its Pestle. U7N ----- 89000:1( Upgraded using 2023 U8K flagship HIGH Gloss type of semi Gloss) Qm7------67000:1 (Matted screen )

[@mrpoob8497]

The Hisense U7N and TCL QM7/QM751G QLED are closely matched, with the Hisense U7N having a very slight edge overall. The Hisense has better contrast with local dimming enabled, but the TCL has better blooming and lighting zone transition performance. The TCL is also a bit brighter in HDR, but the Hisense is much more accurate in HDR and SDR. The Hisense also has much better reflection handling, making it the far better choice when watching content in bright rooms, with the two TVs being more or less evenly matched in darker rooms.

[@myusrn]

Costco has panasonic w95 mini-led 65 inch for 800, that seems like a low price for a great product. Who is taking a hit and why on this one i wonder.

[@STVplaysTooMuch]

Watching on my 200 dollar 43" tv I've had for 4 years.

[@Goatex100]

Hello, think you should discuss different warranties of all the brands you review. Heard and saw some videos that Hisense makes TVs unrepairable if a problem comes up. Eg, they use double sided tape on the layers on the back so you cannot repair, even from a tv repairman. So, these TVs are affordable but now have second thoughts regarding longevity.

Caleb, did you have a few drinks before making this video... This scheme requires for someone's significant other is to watch a plea from you, a KZbin personality. Caleb your plea is going to get permission needed to buy a TV?😆🤣😆 ...If anyone who tries this, please record it and post it on KZbin. Best of luck.
