Buy a Sony TV before they go to shit
>>108458336Why won’t the Japanese government step in? Oh right…
>>108459352Dishonurubu
>>108458336>console tv's>plasma tv's>even the imacsi hope every one of those assholes dies of aidsrona>>108459352what am i missing?
>>108459862>what am i missing?It’s the prime minister of Japan flirting with random male leaders from other countries instead of doing her fucking job and protecting Japanese businesses from being taken over by Communist China.
>>108459352
This should not be happening TV bros !!!Fuck normalfags for choosing cheap chink shit over quality and a purely Japanese brand. Sony are not entirely innocent but normies allowed this to happen.
>>108458336sadI only buy sony tvsI mean, I bought 2 over my entire life, but they last a whileI'll probably buy whatever top of the line oled 4k they release before they're done, just in case
>>108460425all according to keikaku
>>108460425She is doing her job. Men think with their other head and if you can woo them and flirt they are 100% gonna do stupid shit and side with you. Unironically she is being smart and a good leader. Get fucked you ugly virgin, clearly don't know how the world works.
TVs are not a good business with both china and korea subsiding their own production.
could be way worse though, could be fucking LG who've been cheaping out on the CORE POINT OF AN LED TV for over a decade now. TCL's last longer than those pieces of landfill shit.
>>108461364Spoken like a true sucker of dicks.
DamnJust got a bravia 8 last year guess this'll be the first and last Sony TV I buy
>>108458336We've had this thread before but Inevitablethey were buying LG's OLED panels anyway, TVs are not a huge growth or innovation market and they have absolutely insane raiser thin margins.They are way easier to build now than they were in the 1950s-2000sYou can get a 4K TCL LCD with backlight dimming (which is an above perfect picture for basically anyone) for $500 now, I don't know how you improve on that. The software is Android which is also hard to improve on user experience wise.The only way to make money on them now is to fill them with fucking ads in the software.
>>108460638This is the last year to do it. They've announced their entry level TVs and they'll probably announce the midrange & flagship models in April or May.
>>108463943I'm still a little wary of the longevity of the chinese brands. And you still gotta pay a bit more than that for a decent panel I think.
>>108465025Normgroids don't care. As long as it's cheap and looks good in the demo videos they show in the stores.
>>108465025>chinese brandsIt's all brands pretty much, everything is intentionally designed to be as cheap as possible, glued together overheating bullshit. But a TV no longer costs as much as a used car so nobody cares.
>>108458336No more Linux TVs :(
>>108463943ThisIf your not LG or Samsung, there is basically no innovation in displays.Even the Taiwanese fumbled with InnoluxIt's extremely deserved however. (Especially Taiwan based companies) If companies just want to sit on their hands then china can do that for a fraction of the cost.
>>108467941I mean, for a while Sony had one of the best display chips, but I suppose everyone caught up with that already.
qm8k is very good already. Got a 98 for what a Samsung 85 miniled would've cost
>>108467976It's not even a matter that they caught up.They just gave up.Every country that once dominated somewhere has just straight given up.Japanese where untouchable with CRTs and 2000s LCDs but gave up.Taiwan made decent strides in improving existing IPS and VA panels, often supplying the Koreans and Japanese with LCDs and being almost undisputed in monitors.Koreans had a small window where they improved LCDs but went full on with self emitting panels which was the right call apparently.
>>108459352yikes
>>108465025It's not like Sony TVs last either
>>108458776I did but it's still no solace. I mean TCL are everywhere now especially when it comes to MiniLED They just need Sony's processor, I don't see how they can be stopped.
>>108458336> hey recycler guy can I take some of these? I can fix the...> no you cannot take anything here it's mandatory to shred them all up into particles> but I can fix them...> nope, they're going to be turned into recycled materialswhat the fuck man
>>108465025>>108467311Honestly I think you are worrying about nothingThere is very little to go wrong in TVs because they have no electron gun or moving parts nowI would imagine a new TCL LCD would last at least 15-20 years now The worst TVs made now aren't even Chinese, they are the Turkish Vestel crap that anyone sticks their brand name onWhile I would and do buy a high end LG OLED for my main tv or possibly a nice LG panel for my PC monitor, I wouldn't buy one for my Grandad or myself for a second tv, a TCL with dimming works just fine.
>>108465025They're all Chinese anon. I understand the hesitance but the ship sailed decades ago. For what it's worth my TCL panels have all been excellent.
>>108458336>>108458776Like I'd give a fucking shit what the fuck Sony does. They haven't been an innovative, much less relevant company, over the past 15-20 years, when they were literally defining the standards for 2000's era electronics.>What about the Playstation?It's a glorified computer.The only things they do decently are their image sensors.I don't count their foray into the entertainment and music industry.They rarely make anything innovative or disruptive, and when they do, they have a history of making it proprietary, so it then dies when buyers stop using it. Those bastards stuck with MemoryStick for YEARS after everybody else had moved to SD cards, so when they did make a decent product like their early TRS eBook readers, you were fucked.https://www.fastcompany.com/90185860/sonys-long-list-of-format-failure-from-betamax-to-memorystick-microhttps://currently.att.yahoo.com/att/sonys-awful-proprietary-ports-ranked-200015332.html?guccounter=1
>>108458336Will they still use Sony branding?
>>108471509Most likely. They can take advantage of the status & prestige of the brand name and normies won't know.
>>108469681Unfortunately they overheat and die because the LED backlight is overdriven. Especially if you see a TV that has fully plastic construction and is suspiciously thin on the top.
>>108461503>t. buys drinks for girls at bars all night and is shocked when their bfs give them a ride home
