What kind of television do you have?

I'm sure a lot of y'all got multiple TVs but what's the newest one that you have? And how much did it cost?
I got a new TV recently -- a 60 inch Vizio 4K; it's okay but one of the cheaper 4K models. The TV only cost in the neighborhood of $400 so it definitely isn't one of the upper tier models.
The picture is nice, and once in a while I'll come across a 4K YouTube video that allows it to really shine, but for the most part it's just solid but not spectacular. In fact my Samsung plasma 3D TV that I still have that I bought back in like 2013, and isn't 4K, for the most part competes well with this new TV I got...and in some cases it even beats it.
Man I was at Costco the other day looking at their high model 4K QLED televisions, and the picture image is just really mind blowing -- super rich, deep & vivid colors, but I just can't justify shelling out 2 grand-ish for a TV. But the difference in picture quality is certainly pretty staggering.
So, what kind of TVs do you gals and guys have? And are you pleased with it?

Plasma TVs worked a lot like current OLED in that each individual pixel could be on or off, so blacks where truly black, which made for killer contrast ratio. This is why probably for darker shows your plasma looks better, but they are insane power hogs. Cheaper 4k TVs are fully baclkit so you get a lot of blooming, or black parts of seen look like rings in gray scale. Cause OLED is expensive and has burn in issues I went with 75 inch FALD QLED screen. FALD (full array local dimming) is the back lights are arranged into zones 174 on this TV that act independently of the others so one zone can be off others around it dim and the zone where say a candle in a dark room is can be 75% which pretty damn good contrast ratio. Its also HDR but was pretty expensive (more than 55" OLED which I just complained were expensive )

I don't have one but when I was applying for a car loan they were going over my assets that they can go after and repo from me when I stop paying them and one of the questions she asked me was "how big is your TV?"
I said I dont have one and she's like and that I am the second person she's ever heard say they don't have TV. I bet that's pretty common here on shroomery.
Not that TV is bad, I watched one earlier today it was so HD clear it was tripping me out. Like I could see the camera shakeness of the camera man like it looked like a home filmed thing.
But if I see the same show on regular TV it's more blurred and somehow is more believable

Some standard 1080p thing, 50 inches, about $300. Very average and nothing special but it gets the job done just fine and is good enough for my needs. I'm not too picky when it comes to TVs.
It would be nice to eventually get a 4k, but I'm waiting for the content to be there first. My current TV does the job good enough right now so I don't have a lot of reason to upgrade yet. But I do have an eye on getting a 4k eventually one day.

I have a Sharp 42" LCD smart tv. I don't think I care for 4k or LED tbh. OLED would be nice maybe. I bought it on sale because my TV randomly crapped out and I didn't have the funds at the time to buy whatever. After buying it I'd actually recommend it for the price range because I've seen much more expensive TVs with audio processing that doesn't remotely compare at all. Which is why I kinda love my cheap ass TV. Most of them these days come with tiny, tinny speakers that don't do a whole lot and require an external audio source. I have a nice stereo but I never bother turning it on for that because it's not needed. Honestly my only gripe is it's 60hz and I wanna merk fools with the smoothness

I got a 55 inch Samsung 4k 120hz smart tv for 500 bucks on black Friday, its great but it can only do the 120hz at 1080p, something that should have been mentioned in their advertising.

They can survey me masturbating to 4k gang bangs then.
And if that makes them stop watching me on my 4k tv
They can survey me masturbating to 2,280 x 1,080 gang bangs on my smart phone.
