TV options when living in the sticks

[AKIron]

I've had a couple of Samsung fridges, have one now. No trouble with either. I'll never buy another Whirlpool anything.

A little advice regarding curved screen TVs. Don't lay them face down on a flat surface to install a mounting bracket.

....and don't buy open box TVs above a certain size.   

"open box" can mean "no box" in some cases and a large screen tv will flex pretty easily enough to crack it.

What's Sling?

Have used Sling boxes back in the day but that can't be it

I very strictly use Samsung and Bose. Never had a problem with either.

When I had the problem with Samsung not standing behind their product.... in communicating with one of their techs, he told me their TVs are only designed to last 5 years. At the time I posted that in several places. The only Samsung device I use now is their ultra phones.

That is messed up. I wonder why he said that about his own company. Prolly doesn’t work there anymore.

But ya, I get your sad experience.

Not sure I've had anything modern (regarding display) last much longer than that.

Kinda slipping off subject

Those huge LED video walls you see at concerts and other events? They sure look nice when they are working. They go up in panels that clip together. The maintenance to get them going 100% can be mind blowing. Always working on them to the last minute. Constantly panels going out. Replacing them after its setup is a true PITA.

Point being, the technology is awesome, but very fragile, even when made to be road worthy. In other words, look, but don’t touch.

It was a big deal regarding that chip and made headlines.

Just messing with small setups.... I can only imagine it being multiplied. Heebie jeebies indeed.

Bhaa! Big is just “more of the same”. Redundancy.

One panel the size of a tv contains smaller panels.

We start with chain motors connected by chain to the rafters, and mounts (bumpers)
Connect a row on the bottom, raise motors (they climb the chains), connect another row to the bottom. Rinse and repeat until motors are at production hieght, move the stage on wheels under it. .

Shuffler what 5th are you using these days?

We are looking at a old new 2019 Palomino Columbus Compass 298RLC that hasn't been used due to covid and health issues of the original owners..

Looking like we will need to replace the tires before we pull it to the in-laws property..

A new adventure for sure!

Currently a Cougar 29RLI with all option. Will probably pull the trigger on a new one this fall. Been looking for a bit. Probably going with the Durango 326RLT. We go camping more these days and the wife would like a little more room.

Cool!

What's the longest period of time that you have spent in it none stop ?

Looking at ours like a home away from home living in it 2 to 4 weeks at a time depending on the in-laws health

A king bed was one thing we had to have along with a full size residential refrigerator and this one has both
