Hi all, currently in the market for a new smart/streaming TV. I’m interested in upgrading to something smoother and a bit higher picture quality in the 42 inch to 50 inch range (don’t wanna go all the way to 55 because I’m not sure what my wall mount is rated for)

My current Hisense Roku TV toasted itself i think, it’s struggling to turn on and is in a constant boot loop where it barely flashes the logo before turning off. I’m not opposed to buying another brand at all, or even considering a Roku brand TV, I just want people who have owned or know more about these than me to help with recommendations.

I’m not sure what pricing is like on smart tv’s in this category, mine have always either been gifted or on sale. Here’s a few things I’m looking for, but they dont all have to be part of what I buy:

-Display dimming options (even the darkest setting on my current one was so damn bright at night sometimes) -Live TV without cable -Voice remote function -4k compatible HDMI (Unless it happens natively when playing on console) -Manufacturer warranty

Thanks in advance for any replies (:

Edit: I see that we’re not recommending Roku, and yikes. I havent personally experienced anything they’re introducing, but i think that clears the choice for not buying one of their in-house tv’s 😂

Hi i need a recommendation for a good 50 inch tv. I saw this one on best buy, https://www.bestbuy.com/product/samsung-50-class-u7900-series-uhd-4k-smart-tizen-tv-2025/6632320?sb_share_source=PDP ,and was interested solely on the fact that it utilizes local dimming arrays but i cannot find any info on it a good recommendation would be nice thank you

So Im only getting a new TV because our Hisense 55” has given up and wont connect to wifi no matter what we do or how many times we factory reset it. And we’ve had it only 2 years. (So PLEASE do not recommend Hisense) . I was hoping we would have this TV for a long time so we are extremely disappointed and need something that wont break easily like this. Im gonna go for a 50” this time because I dont think I can afford a 55”. Please help suggest something you know will last.

I'm pretty sure I bought our current TV in like, 2015, and haven't been up to date much on the brands, technology, etc., of what's in the market now.

I'm not looking for anything crazy; just a solid TV I can stream things to in my bedroom and maybe plug a Steam Deck/Switch into. My bedroom is a bit wonky though, since it's the loft of an A-Frame, and therefore has no real walls: only slanted ceilings lol. But I can probably get a ~50 inch TV in if I move some things around.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
