My 32? Sony Bravia LCD TV finally went Kaputz.

[SideShow Bob]

I?m looking for suggestions for a replacement no frills 32?-ish LED TV. The lower the price, the better.
My 15 year old Sony crapped the bed, no picture, no sound, just the power on indicator comes on.
I tried the ?shining a flashlight at the screen to see if there was a picture visible, no go.
At the age it is, I will upgrade to an LED, but I don?t need all the fancy gimmicky bells & whistles just be able to tune cable/satellite.
Let me know what you have recently purchased along these lines.

Thanks in advance to any contributing members.

P.S. If any of you tinkerers want the old one, let me know and we can work out a meet up. Gas mask, NBC suit, booties and gloves mandatory. [Tooth]

We bought one of the Roku TCL 55" for my daughter a few years ago. The price has gotten lower at Costco, so when we moved, we got another one. If I were to buy again, I would spend the extra $150 or so and get the 65" only because we don't have a wall where the 75" would fit. I believe the 65" is $450.

I already have a 52” Sony in the living room and is still going strong.
Anything much larger than a 32” in the bedroom would be like sitting in the front row of a iMax theater and would be a waste.
And all the fancy crap would not be used, she has a problem figuring out what is wrong when she accidentally hits the input button and takes it off of cable input.

Microcenter has a few 32" TVs at about $100. Basic, but will do the trick.

I would take the old one to mess with, but will only be down in that area briefly on Saturday afternoon, otherwise never around. (And no hazmat suit). It would be perfect (if I could make it work) for my parrot. She loves PBS.

Those Roku TCL are pretty hard to beat for the money. I got a Vizio M-Series. awesome picture, ok interface and lousy remote.

I purchased a 32" "Onn" Roku TV while I was waiting for our stuff to be delivered to our new house. I think it's a Walmart house brand, but that Roku setup is slick, we've been firestick user's for years, but I think we'll transition to Roku from here on out. Our next TV will likely be a 65" Roku TV of some sort.

We have a TCL in our RV and I wanted to smash the remote with a sledgehammer every time I used it. Everything is now run by a Harmony Hub/Remote.

They get good reviews these days, and possibly offer better remotes on other/newer models, but I almost can't wait for ours to die to buy a Samsung. It's really not a very good picture but we don't watch that much in the RV unless the weather is bad.

OTOH, we probably have the very first POS TCL they ever built in our 2018 RV.

DO NOT buy an LG OLED, though I don't think they make anything under 43" .

TCL is awesome. We have 32"TCL in our bedroom, and have a great connection with wifi. Only issue is , I gotta push few more button to turn ON the TV (antenna).


BTW just purchased USED 22" (I though it was 21, but it is 22") older samsung TV for $15. It is at my basement office. :)

Problems with the LG OLED besides burn-in?

I have one if you want it. Recently moved and just don't have a place for it. Thought it would make a good monitor.

Thanks for the offer, if you would have made it earlier, I would have taken you up on it. The wife started in on me before I even got home from work about getting Her a TV in the bedroom.
I stopped in at Sam’s and picked up a Samsung 40” LED.$239 out the door. I thought the picture was the best in that class. Even though most of the “smart” functions won’t be used, a happy wife equals a happy life.......

I know that feeling. My wife started in on me before we even bought our house. There is a perfect little cubby in front of the bathtub. Our first week in the house included fishing coax, cat5, and power to that cubby for a new 32" TV.

Burn in.

Hate to have a TV that looks like my S8 screen after a year.

FWIW, I absolutely LOVE our Samsung 65" QLED but I bought a top of the line model. The one with the single piece of fiber to the monitor and an external box.
