Anyone have a Samsung led tv? In the market for something around 46-48 inches. This model is rated pretty good and just curious if anybody has one knows if there are any problems with it. I have read some issues possibly related to software. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN48H6350-48-Inch-1080p-120Hz/dp/B00I94IR8G azzkikr 1 Awards

Comcast is schedule to start broadcasting 4K in just a few months and I plan on replacing my HDTV with a 4K as soon as the media is available. In short I would wait a few months if you can... jf

But 4K is out of my price range and I am not going to get comcast. Stuff like 3D isnt worth it because I cant watch it. Too much eye strain. iboomboom 1 Awards

I bought a 60" regular LED Samsung and an Android box (Minix Neo X8) for $150 (quad core processor, 2GB memory, 16GB storage expandable, etc). I got Netflix, Hulu plus and other software that allows me to watch anything I want for free, legally, on demand. I just cancelled my cable. MrBubbles 1 Awards

Ah well. Thought I could maybe get a 48. But there are some wooden supports inside that I cant take off so 41 actual width is the best I could do with little no room to spare. The various brands I looked at generally run around 500 bucks so no big deal there. I figure the price difference from the 48 I can use for a moderately priced sound bar. azzkikr 1 Awards

You shouldn't have a problem getting one under $500, just bear in mind that you need a TV with digital audio out so you can hook up a sound bar. cheers Awards

How do we know its not the nsa in disguise? Gotta love their solution however. If you dont want to be recorded disconnect from the internet. In effect, turn your smart tv into a dumb one. I am not interested in built in smarttv anyways. Roku and firetv are better anyways. azzkikr 1 Awards

Whatever I get will likely be from bestbuy because there is a store relatively close and if there are problems in the near future they will fix it. Supposed to anyways. Joe Canadian 1 Awards
