Looking for essentially a cheaper 43" TV for our main floor on in the background type TV.
Any suggestions?
I saw this one on sale in store for $350

Or maybe a TCL 4 series?

I would suggest the TCL 4 series instead of the sharp. At $329 not only is it cheaper but also a better panel.

Your tears fuel me
It's $279 now - doesn't get much cheaper than that. You could wait a month for black Friday but that's pretty cheap. Open box though.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
What's a good TV to get? LED? OLED? LED 4K HDR? Like...WTF is going on these days with TV's!! FML.

OLED is probably top of the pack but for next level ballers due to insane costs and has some drawbacks.
LED just refers to how the tv is backlit and isn’t really a TV type, not sure how many TVs aren’t LED these days aside from OLED.
Don’t waste money on a TV that isn’t 4K HDR in 2019/2020, it was like buying a SD or 720P tv 10 years ago.
Everything is way more complicated than that (hence 27 pages in this thread) but that’s the 15 second answer.

OLED Pros:This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
- Exact light control. Every pixel's brightness is individually controlled. You get perfect darks (like Plasma). No blooming ever.
- Rich vibrant color that only top end LEDs can come close to (quantum dot LEDs etc).
OLED Cons:
- Expensive
- Not as bright (physical limitation)
To elaborate on your comments, 4K HDR is a must. 4K is the resolution everything is 4K these days, you'd be hard pressed to find a non 4K TV. HDR isn't the HDR that you see in photos, HDR is the ability to control a very wide range of brightness levels in the image. To get a true HDR effect, you want to find the TV with the brightest output. OLEDs can't do this, only LEDs can get anywhere near levels dictated by Dolby Vision's standards. It's not cheap to get full HDR quality, everything has to be HDR/Dolby Vision from your source media (stream or UHD blu-ray), your receiver, your TV, etc. HDR gives you the realism similar to what 3D can deliver. Best example is headlights at night, when the car turns and the headlights point at you, a good HDR TV is so bright that it actually feels like headlights pointed at you. Only a handful of TV's can get that bright. Most TV's, you can't tell the difference between HDR and non HDR (SDR) because it can't physically light up the bright areas any further.

You just missed out on the TCL - http://forums.redflagdeals.com/costc...co-ca-2326109/
55 is still available - https://www.costco.ca/tcl-55-in.-4k-...100474706.html
This is supposed to be the new best budget TV according to rtings - https://www.visions.ca/product-detai...=0&sku=55Q9809
True HDR is definitely the biggest leap in picture quality in the last 6 years.
The issue is there is a lot of bad info about it and sets that claim to be HDR but are only borderline. Brightness is king as Rage mentioned.

HDR is such a differentiator that I now prefer to watch movies on my smaller 65" brighter HDR TV than on my 82" not so bright HDR TV.
If you want to sear your eyeballs, these are the bad boys in the HDR game:

I really want the new quantum X’s.
Adulting sucks.

I'm still considering downsizing my 82" Samsung to a 75" Quantum X. I'm holding out 1 more year in hopes that the 85" Quantum X comes to fruition.

Thanks guys.
So is Vizio a good brand then? I was thinking to stick with a Samsung or a Sony smart TV. Never even thought about Vizio cause I thought they were the lower quality brand. But I guess not?
They have been decent for a while but really stepped up their game on the 2019 TV’s.

Does Samsung and Sony have equivalent versions to this particular Vizio? I can't imagine they would be much more than the price of this Vizio.
Also the price is similar to OLED's on boxing day deals. Is Vizio still better? I have no idea about LG's tho.

Samsung would definitely be more expensive than equivalent tier Vizio
Essentially take whatever top model non OLED Samsung would be.
These guys spend a lot of effort trying to muddy the water on this stuff so you just buy whatever price point you can afford and not focus on specs.

Sony 900F or 950G are pretty good as well
If you want a “better” brand, the Sony X950G are pretty boss:
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product...x950g/13375798
They make 55 and 65” too
Ok well I don't personally care too much about having the best of the best. These TV's will be in the living room and bonus room and will get used every now and then. They don't need to be top of the line, cream of the crop or anything. Just something decent enough that doesn't break the bank. I am thinking perhaps closer to $1500 for each. Also remember I got a 160" screen going in the basement so that negates the need for having the best of the best TV. I would spend more than $1500 on something that is significantly superior and seems to be a good deal cause of boxing day. I see some on best buy that says $800 off or $1200 off, I just don't know how legit that is.
Some units that are potential options;
Sony

Samsung - seems REALLY cheap compared to others...
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product...0fxzc/13407265
Samsung - curved, are these any good? Do I need a curved wall for these to go on?
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product...0fxzc/13407262
Another Samsung and more $$ than others and says QLED. I thought there was LED and OLED this QLED is new lol
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product...afxzc/13407276
Vizio is a budget brand. It's just random as fuck that they also make the brightest TV available to really showcase HDR.
Sony and Samsung's brightest TV's cost twice as much, with only 60-70% of the output of the Vizio. These are the 65" closest to Vizio Quantum X equivalents:
https://www.visions.ca/product-detai...29&sku=QN65Q90
https://www.visions.ca/product-detai...0&sku=XBR65Z9F
Even if you don't care about HDR, the brightness of the TV is huge in open areas where you have very little light control.
QLED is just LED with Quantum Dots. Basically the ability to display a richer color palette.
