A family friend of mine recently donated their old entertainment
systemcabinet to me, and it can’t even fit my 50 dollar Vizio dumb TV. I just put it on top. It’s also, INSANE how heavy entertainment systems use to be, to hold up old fat backs. It’s weird to think a good chunk of Gen z remember fat backs (myself included). A lot of us remember the flat screen trend that turned into a given.Lol “fat backs”? You mean CRT’s?
I like calling them fatback
I could actually really use a new TV but I’m barely affording groceries. I want black Friday sales on cans of soup and frozen chicken, AND TVs.
Have you checked second hand shops for a TV? Sometimes there are good deals. Mostly crap of course.
What do you mean? Get a plasma or an early high end incandescent lit LCD. You can get 1080p ones for FREE, and they will do anything better, than a 165 inch 17k edgelit hypersmart disaster for six easy payments of only 169.99
Now why would greedy cooperations do something silly like that?
Also, even the TVs aren’t on sale. Those specific TVs were jacked up in price for at least a month before put on “sale” to artificially inflate the price. You’re not getting a good deal.
This is commonly parroted and while it does happen it isn’t the case for literally every single deal.
My roommates and I bought a TV in September and paid the extra $50 or whatever to be able to get a refund if a better price came up. For Black Friday, that TV is ~$250 less than we paid for, and we’re getting our money back.
Black Friday/ Cyber Monday can be great times to pick up on deals and many items reach yearly lows for these sales, you just need to not blindly purchase things or fall into the hype. The way I look at it is, if I already know I want/ need it, I’ll look around on Black Friday for a good deal. But I won’t let deals on these days be the thing that tells me I want or need something.
