My husband ordered this morning a television set from HSN for our summer holiday house here in lake Oconee.

He got the eighty two inches.

And you're telling us this why?

That is a big TV! Will it sit on a stand or will he have it mounted on a wall?

@Dinaki That sounds like an awesome TV! With surround sound, you will have a theater like experience. I'm sure your husband will enjoy watching his favorite sports games. Enjoy your new TV.😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@SandySparkles @thank you for commenting dear, the TV set will fit perfectly fine in that living room as it is very big. I asked him and he told me it is 10 meters by 6 meters.

This was a good price for these TVs they had on their TSV. I price matched and Best Buy had them for the very same price and I usually cant hardly beat Best buy. i comtemplated gettting one but decided to wait.

If there is a cheaper price on a 2020 Samsung Model Q7, with a 2 year warranty and delivered free? Give me the name of that company. Samsung has many models and a lot of retailers with older models, and they do not come with a 2 year warranty.

I know the models because I own 3 Samsung TV sets and keep up with each model/year and the changes. For anyone that buys an 82" TV and want to save delivery costs, unless they have a pickup truck, good luck getting it home.

Shoot me a name of the dealer so I can check it out, I may just buy one from them.

@AuntG

I have a 65" Samsung on a stand and I checked the measurement of the 82-85" TV sets, and even the 85" will fit just fine on mine.

There is no way I would mount any TV set on a wall. First, they are made to be watched "at eye level". not high above that level on a wall. 2nd, it is easy for me to me to move it whenever I wish. I have plenty of floor space and the only, maybe advantage, I see for hanging them on a wall, is lack of floor space.

I still have an old dinosaur of a TV (36") from many years ago. It is in my loft, so I don't know what I'll do when it no longer works as it is very, very heavy. My friend and I were much younger when it went up the stairs.

@hckynut

We buy all of our TV's from Best Buy - during good times we order on line and pick up, but I think they also have in home deliveries

Wow, that's a big TV! I would think you'd need a big room to accommodate a TV of that size.

Re: New TV

hckynut — Sun, 31 May 2020 21:36:36 GMT

@Jordan2

With the resolutions of these TV sets you never have to sit very far away from them. Even my old(?) Samsung 65" I can stand with my face a couple inches away and see no pixelation. And these new Q Models have double the resolution of my old 4k.

If it fits in one's room, that is the only criteria for watching it.

@AuntG I asked him and he said on the wall.

The one we already have in in a wallunit I brought from Athens like a decade ago.

Similar of this one :

Re: New TV

AuntG — Sun, 31 May 2020 23:25:12 GMT

That is some amazing entertainment unit. Glad he got what he wanted - you didn't ask us to judge the price or value so that's your husband's business.

Re: New TV

Dinaki — Sun, 31 May 2020 23:30:29 GMT

@AuntG i cannot understand your question correctly, I am sorry. But if you asked his work, he is retired Air Force, he was lieutenant officer when he retired.

Now he no works, he is at home here and as you the Americans say, he is couch potatoe (hehehe)

@hckynut We have an Oled downstairs and a Qled upstairs. We thought we had a big den until we bought one too big (things look bigger at home) so we put it upstairs and got a smaller Oled for downstairs!

The big one is the football tv! I have to say I'd take the quality over simple size any day.

@hckynut @AuntG We have had one hung on the wall in our bedroom in our last two houses and it is great there. A long dresser fits under it, so it really saves space.

My husband put it in, and it must be easy--he is a nerd not a carpenter! Don't tell him I said that!

It is sturdy, looks great and the wires are inside the wall all neat and tidy. Since the bed is the only place it would really fit, it's good!
