When it comes to deciding on which TV to buy, where should you put your money? Better picture quality, a bigger TV, maybe a balance of both?

    Hey everyone! I just spoke to my manager and we’ve never done this before, but we are extended the deal on the free likes! Also, Chuck M. Says hi and wants you to know his music sounds much better on a good system than on grocery store speakers. Can confirm. Thanks for watching!
  • @BenjaminJex
    For me, it’s clear that I want a tv that fits the space first, then the best quality I can afford
  • @Katjaneway
    I think you're right; I've had a 55" TV for many years, but when I moved up to a 77" TV I was blown away by how much it enveloped my view and made me more immersed. I mean, what I did was save up and bought the A80k 77" so I got size and quality, but knowing what I know now, for my next TV it will be size first, and quality a close second up to my budget limit. It just makes such a huge difference
  • @BusterDarcy
    You eventually stop fully appreciating the 10-20% improvement in picture quality, but you’ll never stop appreciating the 100% increase in viewing area. I love my LG C2 65” at 6.5ft viewing distance, but it often occurs to me that I sure wouldn’t mind if it was bigger.
  • @manny41p
    Dude I was just debating this the other week. Are you in my head?!?! This is perfect timing!!!
  • @chasintrail
    I was recently in the same boat, bigger vs better. I was deciding between the 75" Hisense U8K MiniLED and the 65" LG C3 Oled. I wish this video was out when I was making this decision. Ultimately I went with the 75" U8K and have zero regrets. It's not perfect, but it's very close. We have watched more movies and TV recently than ever before for the past few weeks. Previous TV was a 50" Panasonic Plasma, so moving to LCD technology had me worried, but so glad I did.
  • @ALEX336X
    Went bigger TV and have zero regrets. TVS in general look really good now and without the even better looking TV sitting right next to the bigger screen you won’t miss it when it’s gone.
  • @richroggio
    that was another great informative video Caleb. you are such a big help and I love that Chuck Mangione Feels so Good album behind you 👍
  • @ocmdog
    This was incredibly helpful to me. Thank you for sharing these thoughts. Your perspective will stick with me not just with my current TV needs but for the future as well. Tis truly the fundamental question.
  • @4tdaz
    Thank you for being honest. Unless something is so bad it takes you out of the experience, the media you consume should be taking you somewhere else anyway. Proof? Film in the theater. No one ever complains about the bad picture quality in a theater yet TVs have long surpassed them.
  • @LP66177
    I was just in that boat for the last few weeks. I was torn between the 65" LG G3 or the 77" LG C3 due to them being priced the same at $2299. So, after weeks of stressing myself out I decided to go to BestBuy and I was blown away by the 77" LG G3 (which was not an option for me). After a few more days for thinking about it I thought to myself F it, I'm getting the 77" LG G3. Ordered it on Greentoe for $2999 out the door with a 5 years warranty that includes Burn in protection for a total of $3288.99! Should arrive next week or so 😁.

    In Nov, 2022, I went with both. I upgraded from a 2019 55" 4k Samsung with poor HDR and bad off angle viewing to a 65" LG C1 OLED. Got a pretty good deal because the current model was C2 but spent a lot more than the previous TV cost. I feel like it was well worth the cost. The HDR is great and off angle viewing is amazing and the 10" bigger screen size is nice too. It does feel like since I bought this, screen size norms have skewed way larger in the last year and a half. The C1 is still working like new, so it will probably be a while before it's replaced.
  • @scruffy8861
    For a living room determine what size you're comfortable looking at and then get the best looking model in that size. For a dedicated home theater, a projector and 150" screen gets my attention.
  • @topshamrock
    I literally was in the middle of making this decision (taped up the wall and everything) when this video was published. Thank you!
  • @sambierster9019
    Bought a 65” lg g2 about a year ago. Absolutely love it.
  • @varerkars
    I was in the same situation. Coming from a 75” LG led , was contemplating a 77 “ C3 or the 98” Hisense q7. Ended going for the Hisense and absolutely no regrets , the sheer size makes everything feel so cinematic, and paired with the Sonos arc + era 300, feels fine a mini cinema in my house.

    This video helped me so much! Thank you!
