Home Theater Upgrade.

You won't find "decent" built-in sound. It all sounds like shit.

For something easy, samsung tv's paired with samsung soundbars. Once hooked up, they act as one unit with the tv remote. Once you set it up, that's all that will need to be done.

Honestly it would be easier with a roku box vice the "smart" part of tv. Their UI's are typically terrible, especially for the olds.

If they also have cable, all they have to do is change the input. If they're going with something like YoutubeTV or Hulu Live TV, then no need to switch inputs at all. (And the roku remote will turn the tv on/off and sound up/down just fine, so still only 1 remote needed.

Well, fuck. Got a dead pixel in the middle top center. Guess it’s warranty time. Furk.

Dude you fucking cursed me. I have the Hisense short throw. Dead pixel top center as of Sunday. I bought it off of Amazon in 2022. Probably not under warranty any longer.

Well fuck, that sucks the fat one.

I’m not real sure how to truly describe mine. It’s not “technically” dead as in “not lit up”, but it’s more a group of pixels still rgb and not mixed. Far enough back it looks like a big white pixel.

So dead in operation.

Thankfully not even a year into 4 years of coverage. (2 standard, 2 added at purchase, and feeling better about adding on now.)
