I bought this one a few months ago. Not my best chair but its serviceable.

Beware the random Amazon chairs, reviews basically say the random chinese manufacturers are incredibly inconsistent with what they actually give you. I got scared off of basically all of them.

We still use basically the same controller from its competitor.

I don't envy that contract though.

the contract is fine, tbh. If he hits numbers close to what hes hit in the past in just a few years of the contract, those years become a bargain. So you overpay later for the bargain somewhere else.

Ultimately here, the contract will be judged on if it nets more than 0 World Series victories.

I'm still rocking a 720p tv from 2007. I refuse to get rid of it unless it dies.

Our last 32" from those days died in October last year.

It was heavier than our 65" here.

Im still using a Black Friday tv from Walmart in my bedroom 5 years later with no issues.

Its time for it to go, but not because it broke

Got a 50" Emerson in the house that cost like $129 or something from a black friday sale forever back. Still works fine.

Also that can be partially true for certain models at all of the bigger stores.

But I double checked the model number to make sure this thing was exactly what I thought it was.

Not sure if anyone is still interested in talking about this or even remembers the topic from like 2 weeks ago. I've still been using my TV with the dumb blue lines while I was sitting indecisive about my purchase.

After some thinking, I'd settled pretty hard on getting a 55". My current TV Is 50", I had room for bigger, but 65" I felt would be too big. At the price points, 50" again never seemed particularly reasonable. Loss of screen space for not much value.

I had an obvious lean at the start:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084JH43DJ/ref=twister_B089DHF2XD

At about $500, it seemed reasonable. I was ready to make the purchase, but then, partly the cheapskate in me got the better of me. "This isn't a sale price, this is the regular retail price". I wasn't getting value here, I was just getting what it was worth. So I decided to sit on it. My initial thought was, sit and wait for a sale. So I did.

But waiting left me more time to research televisions. Amazon caught my eye with a woot deal email, $750 for a Q70, this is one of the middle end QLED's from Samsung, I was tempted, but it was also refurbished. At this point, it dawned on me perhaps I could get a refurbished higher end TV. This seemed good, but often these have cosmetic damage, and their best actually bought at a physical store to make sure their isn't any mumbo jumbo. I'm not willing to gamble here, so I hesitate a bit, though the prices seem tempting.

Research soon reveals that with Samsung, last years models typically outdo the current generation except on the upper end. Amazon tempted me, and now my budget expanded a bit as I had dreams of a slightly more feature rich TV. My search for a sale kept me patient, but I also now had my eye on a new prize, 2019 Samsung TV's

Now, I don't like Wal-Mart, but they did make positive news with the mask push, so I gave them a browse. What do I see but a 2019 Q60 on a big sale.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/804051465

This is still their low end model from last year, but features ripped completely from the 2020 model are still present(120 Native refresh vs 60, this was a big draw to me). At $650, its priced down from a usual $900 price tag. That was the kind of value I was looking for. Just $150 more than I was intending to spend in the first place. I could budget that(Disneyland being closed indefinitely is saving me a lot of money). So I pulled the trigger. TV should be here Monday.

Side note the 65" at $800 is also a good deal, but I had long decided I definitely wasn't in the market for a TV that size.
