It's time to try a 65" TV to replace our 55" main TV. We both watch a mix of OTA antenna, cable and streaming channels, very few sports. Pets and grand kids make us want to stay away from a high end, expensive TV. Neither of us can discern the difference between 4K, UHD, and so on
Our 55" LG works fine for what we watch and is easy to channel surf cable or OTA, but we want to try a larger screen. Our study 32" Insignia (Best Buy) has Fire TV built in, and it is aggravating to use when we just want to flip through some OTA channels--connects only if WiFi also connects, mushes together our saved antenna channels with FreeTV/Pluto/etc channels on a random basis (it randomly changes the channels we selected as favorites); no number pad on the Fire remote, so have to navigate a screen at a time and there is a 10 to 30 second lag on each input; voice commands seldom work, etc etc. But not complaining -- we only paid $100 for it on sale a year or two ago and its fine for the study. But for the main TV, we prefer something more old-fashioned I guess.
So.... any recommendations on a 65" lower end TV that has a traditional remote control with channel number inputs, and is hopefully easily usable for antenna, cable and streaming? We did see this one at Costco a few days ago, and the picture on the box showed a remote control that looks traditional... LG 65" Class - UQ8000 Series - 4K UHD LED LCD TV $479. Costco warranty and return policy are a plus for this one. Others to consider?
