I filed my taxes and I'm getting a little bit of money that I plan to use on both a PS4 and a new TV since the current one in the living room is Soyo piece of shit that doesn't deserve to exist. All I'm looking for is a 1080p 50 inch in the $500 range.

Right now I have on my Amazon Wishlist a 2016 TCL 55FS3750. It's $450 and has 1080p, Roku built in, 55", and has 3HDMI inputs. I wanted to know if you guys have any knowledge on what to do when it comes to buying TVs online.

If you have a ps4 I would skip the Roku/smart tv bit. You can get a better display for cheaper that way.

Stick with brands you know, lg, Sony, Samsung etc and if you want good money to quality ratio vizio is pretty decent.

Oh shit I should have specified:

The TV will be out in the living room to use as part of a home theater system, the PS4 will be in my room and will use one of my computer monitors.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Get a CRT tv so you can play retro consoles like how they're supposed to be played, I've been looking around for one but they're either too expensive or dirty as fuck

There's a reason 16:9 TVs have what's called the "Golden Ratio".

You should still be able to find a decent price on one of the bands I listed.

Samsung is always good bro they're like the Hondas of TV

Can vouch on that.

There's an old samsung I have back home from the early 2000's during the time when "big" tv's weighed a hundred pounds or so. Still works as far as I know.

So I'm looking at more TVs from the brands you guys are giving me. Every review section on Amazon is filled with people bitching about how their TV comes with lines and cracks in the screen, or image fading, I'm struggling to find any that doesn't have their review section filled with bitching because reliability is important. I wont be able to just buy another one after this.

If you want the truth matey, even if you're looking at the best brands, you're not going to get anything real top quality tier for 500.

Note that reviews can be bullshit too. Most people don't handle their shit with care or know how to take proper care of it. It's too easy to go online and say that the damage came from out of the box rather than their own handling of it.

Well based on what I look at, anything significantly higher is either bigger than what I'm looking for or is coming with useless shit I don't need like 3D or 4K. I chose the original TCL because it was the right size, really good price, some smart options, and has the option of turning off that disgusting Real Motion effect.

i don't think i've ever had a good experience with amazon when it comes to TVs

it's better to just go to your local best buy or something to pick one up

As many of others said, no need for a smart TV. Buy a Firestick and you'll get even more. Never buy it online, go to walmart or bestbuy. Buy name brands, they are more but are always better quality and worth it.

I recommend this. Its the TV I've got in my bedroom. Amazing. Its smart, but honestly I never use it.
