So my last TV I bought I pretty much woke up, drank a coffee, walked to the tech store that isn’t around anymore and got pretty much what I needed and went home happy and had a TV.
Either it is me in general but I hate having to upgrade tech nowadays. Even if it is just a friggin’ smart phone I tend to go to deep into the subject and go through points I shouldnt care about because I’m not the target audience.
Like I don’t care how great the cameras are now on phones. Yet when I have to upgrade duo to missing upgrades after 5 years I upgrade and then I read through all that non sense just to get the best out of the money I’ll be dumping for features I won’t ever use.
Ill compare Samsung S23, S23+ and Ultra and what ever and then read comments about how bad X is and company Y does better for the money and then it’s to late.
Then I dump 12 hours into researching on youtube, trying to filter the company fanboys and the real talk people just to find out they are all “bought” and only 5% of the reviews aren’t bought.
Now I am sitting here wanting to upgrade my 2011 TV and have to choose between LG G4, Samsung S90D, S94D, S95D and every single one of these tvs has negatives and pros and I am lost.
Might not just buy a tv and go drink coffee and play computer.
I personally would have went with the S95D from Samsung because I personally like matte screens more but funny enough most reviews critics are because it is a matte display and not glossy lol. I have huge windows behind my sofa and thought it might be cool but now I am not sure anymore duo to almost everyone saying how bad matte screens are for OLED TVs.
The dude in the shop said I should go with the S95D because it is cool if I have a lot of light sources and yes it has it’s downsides because of the matte screen really bright scenes can create a “white cone” around the edge duo to matte screening but he also said it’s something you won’t notice or pay attention too when using it. I am not comparing G4, S90D and that TV when watching a movie.
I also don’t watch a lot of TV at daylight but when I do I know reflections are annoying. And I also saw that the S95D performs great in the dark as well against other glossy OLED TVs even if it has a matte screen.
This again is probably a subject I shouldn’t care about. It’s like my TV right now is just displaying grey instead of black and I lived with it 12 years (happy). Either TV will be a huge upgrade for me. I could just save my time and buy the tv and be happy but no, I am here researching way to long for a friggin’ TV. I am so deep in the TV subject now that I even know the S90D Series has a Panel Lottery because some TVs have OLEDs and some have QD OLEDS panels… like… honestly, if no one told me I would have been happy without QD panel and wouldn’t have known but now that I know… dunno not gonna buy.
I would think the map would need to be refreshed at some point, as new roads are built and such, but possibly that can be done manually somehow or at worst a trip to a mechanic.
But for me I sometimes need a device while traveling to another city I’ve never been to before. I suppose a laptop would mostly work.
Yeah, like once a year or so my dad takes it home to the PC with him, connects it through a USB cable and puts an update on it.
Oh wow that’s awesome that it can use a standard cable. I imagine that varies per device like some built-in car ones might need a special one.
