There is a reason it's slightly more expensive tho. They don't even bother to force or nag you to connect to Wi-Fi / Internet so the manufacturer can start selling data on what you watch... Sony charges a little more because the TV is for profit, instead of your data being the profit product.
They aren't all that much more expensive at Costco anyway. Also it's not like I'm buying a TV ever few years.
Shit my Sony Trinitron CRT still works. That really is buy it for life. Less can be said about Walmart specials.
Sony has always been more expensive compared to the competition. Even way back before data collection was a thing. It's why I don't really buy their products.
I’ve always thought they were slightly more expensive because they used LG/Samsung panels for their TV.
I avoided Samsung and it was a no brainer for me to get LG. My LG has been treating me well and doesn’t prompt me to get on the internet. And I got them for discounted prices as well, a 65”GX and 42?” C3.
