Yeah if she’s used to working the LG interface probably easier than retraining. If she’s using a Roku stick with the LG may be just as easy to get the Roku?

If you want a sample size of 1 our Roku Pro TV has been perfect for a living room kids show / occasional adult show.

edit: saw you linked the Plus which I guess is a different series.

Got the 77 inch C4. Thankfully the 77 inch G4 was sold out as it was $1000 more.

That's what happened to me with my last TV buy 3 or 4 years ago. I was hellbent on getting a 65 inch LG G1, but nobody had it. A couple months went by of nobody knowing when they'd get them in, and the company itself not even knowing when the next round would ship, so I gave up and got the LG C1. Saved me about $1000 and ended up being pretty much everything I wanted anyway.

As for my mom's TV, I just picked up a 55" TCL QLED that looks much nicer than the other two I was looking at, bright colors and whatnot. About the same cost too ($299). All the TCLs looked really good, for a brand I've never heard of, given the budget pricing. Apparently they make their own parts in-house to cut costs.

My mom needs a new TV, hers is ten years old and covered in screen burn-in from static images, captions, etc. Looking to spend $300 max on this because she isn't a TV connoisseur or anything.

The one she has is my old LG OLED, which I frequently refer to as the only brand worth buying, but I recognize I won't be replacing it with another OLED when I'm trying to spend as little as possible.



Which of these two should I get? One's a Roku QLED and one's a "Nanocell" LG LED. No idea how good Roku TVs are and I'm inclined to stick with LG, but I've really liked the QLEDs I've seen in stores. And I have no GD idea what a Nanocell is.


This one is the most comparable to what she has already, it's just the 2024 version of the 2016 model she has now. But like I said, looking to spend $300 max.

Whatever LG is on sale biggest for the price range.

Fast forward a few years and I finally got my G series TV. Probably a good thing I got the G5 instead of G1. It's a lot more advanced now and since it's the last TV I'm getting for a long time, I ended up with a better one.

The C1 was really good for a while but it wasn't a "forever TV".

I'm nervous about the stand for the G5. The TV seems a bit wobbly. I know this model is intended for wall mounting but I'm not doing that. I got the stand flush against it and hooked up correctly as far as I can tell. I guess these things just wobble.

Have a question, how does one get rid of these kinds of markings? The TV got smudged a lot while being moved around, even with me wearing gloves. It was laying down on a blanket for a bit and came away with a bunch of smudging from that too.

Not sure how to clean this without leaving more smudging and residue. It's a shame cause the TV was completely pristine all week until I started reorganizing and had to move it a few times.

Has anyone bought a TV off of Amazon? Would I need to worry about some guy throwing my TV around or do they have actual quality delivery for things like that? I'm debating if I should just go to BestBuy or not instead.

Do they have what you want from Costco? Their delivery is usually free and they do a great job.

Last time I bought a TV off of Amazon was like 2008.
