I have a 32" Samsung that I’ve had for… quite a long time. Those that have done the TV upgrade before: is a 32" >> 46" a nice leap? Worth the investment?
Keep in mind: I purchased my current 32" LCD from CIRCUIT CITY for a shade over a cool grand. So while I believe I’m due for an upgrade my wife may think not.
Yes, 46" is an upgrade and will be a noticeable upgrade. However, I upgraded from a 42" to a 60". With that said, I would go for a 55" if I were you and if you have the space. The price is very reasonable, especially considering that you spent over a grand for your 32" way back when. And trust me, you wouldn’t regret it. Your wife probably wouldn’t either.
Bought the 50" the last time these were on Woot. It is quite big actually. The set is full of apps and built in wifi makes set up a breeze, it’s a smart TV, so it is supposed to learn from you, but this did not come with the optional set top box transmitter so the TV can control the set top, so we had to turn the smart stuff off. But the picture is excellent.
Something broke. It went back to the manufacturer or an authorized re-work facility, the problem was fixed, the set checked out, and sold for a big discount. The only risk I have seen with refurbished is that during rework, they did not catch all the problems. Not typical though.
If I were to get one of these, I would get a 55" or bigger. It looks like the sweet spot, pricing wise, is the 60" which seems to be about $375 cheaper than Amazon.
The 50" and smaller are 60Hz TVs which means that they would suck for any amount of motion (i.e. movies, sports, etc.). Ignore the “Clear Motion Rate” as it is pure marketing.
The 55" and bigger also includes the more modern DTS and surround sound modes found on Bluray, etc. Of course, you wouldn’t necessarily notice unless you hooked up an external sound system to it.
I have a 24" Samsung Smart TV in the bedroom and I rather like it. I like the network connectivity (no cable box in that room) because it’s easy to connect to Netflix or HBO GO etc. All in all, I think Smart TV’s are a great choice, 'cause who has a Xbox in every room anyway?
This seems like the better way to go for a 60inch, brand new and basically the same price when you add in the $400 gift card. Electronics & Accessories | Dell USA
With the value for the dollar that current TV’s offer over what you paid for the 32 incher, you’re only being prudent to jump to the largest screen you can comfortably afford. I personally kicked up from a 27" to a 52" and am extremely happy with the decision.
Strongly considering the 55" to replace a JVC 61" that is on its last legs. I’d love the 60" but things being what they are here the 25% discount over 5" will likely out. Will have to re-measure to see how well it fits into the existing space.
