It's good news for all members and everyone in SG. We now have real options for the lower end. Previously one will need to spend above 5k for a 65" and now amazingly they are available at around the one grand mark. But the caveat is that you gain inches of acreage, but do check if the spec sheet, the feature list and also the picture quality matches your needs and expectations. Don't forget, whatever price you pay, you want it to last for quite a few years (in my books, 5 years for a budget set is good) and that what you see is what you want. Otherwise TVs aren't like other items - they are much harder to sell and so, choose wisely. From the larger mainstream brands, we have some offers, and some are past year models, so be careful what you choose and see if they suit your needs.

Whilst physical media is not bound for the Smithsonian yet, streaming has taken off in a big way and you can have your ice cream in many different flavours now..

One very important point is that you have to do some homework on which site is best for you. Not all movies will redeem in 4k and not all will do Atmos. So, the million dollar question is are they all the same? Well a friend and I decided to do an informa
