Wow I would not haha that is a lot of trouble and waste, but I’m glad you got a good deal. I’m hoping to put off 4k for as long as I can, but it seems to be rapidly becoming the new standard
Yeah I was talking to a friend just yesterday about how a TV isn’t really a big purchase anymore, but the houses/rents are crazy expensive. It’s kinda fucked.
Anyway my tv was $0 (from brother), about a meter across, and has a permanent green bar on the right side that only guests notice. I’m oddly proud of my shitty TV, which probably isn’t healthy, but by plan is to ride this thing until it’s unusable lol
Hit me up if it ever loses power. There’s a few capacitors worth about .50 cents total that will blow up on the power board. I can send you a link for those and explain how to go about identifying bad ones and replacing them. I think there might be some you tube videos out about that now.
The best part IMO was the new TV ended up crapping out as well hell but it was under the Best Buy warranty not the manufacturer warranty.
And the TV I had was no longer being made (the exact model number that is) so they asked if I wanted a check or an equivalent model.
I took the check and fixed the TV that time using parts from the first TV.
10/10 would pay $200 for a 75inch 4k OLED TV again (how much the warranty cost because Best Buy cut me a $1500 check)

I got a 4k 65" LG for about $400 a few weeks ago. It isn’t a fancy display but it looks great compared to the 55" Hisense it replaced.

Verizon math? Or do you actually mean half a penny?
a capacitor probably is about half a penny tbh just probably wouldn’t be able to buy 1 at that rate
Some are even less than half a penny. But yeah. I screwed up the math. Thank you!
Thanks, McFap, I’ll try to remember that.
