I'm thinking about getting one on BF...the question is what deal is the best?!!? I'm tempted to get the one from JC Penney...with the rebate but the kohls deal looks good.
Been wanting to try one of these, but I'm not sure if I'll like it. Because of that, I went cheap and got the $29.99 3.5L one from Best Buy. If I like it, maybe next year I'll upgrade the size.

Just a heads up. We just bought the LG 55" OLED 4k TV at Costco yesterday. It was $200 less than the Black Friday price.
I just saw this for $1299 in an upcoming ad (AAFES (military)) ; cheapest I have seen.

A heart attack, wow. Thank God you are ok. Take it slow. Glad to have you back.
Question for everyone. I snagged the Visio 70" 4K at Sams in the one day sale Saturday. Yesterday, I exchanged my cable box with the cable company so it was compatible. Now, I'm looking for a good DVD player that will upscale/upconvert?? whichever it is. From what I've read and looking at the ads I'm contiplating:
Samsung M9500
Sony UBP X700 or 800
LG UBK80 (Because of the good price at Meijer)
am I totally off in my thinking.......what would you guys suggest?
Which model TV did you get? I didn't look at the ad, so I'm not sure? Online, it looks like all the Vizio 70 inch TVs support Dolby Vision. If your TV has Dolby Vision, you may want to consider a player with that capability to add another notch of visual improvement (for lack of better term).

The Navy Exchange (not everyone can shop there though) has the LG 65" C8 (next model up) for $1999. Great price! (and it's not even BF)

I went all out. I wanted the 65 inch LG OLED B7, but when I went to buy it, it was out of stock. I ended up getting the C7 (next step up) which I really didn't want because the price difference isn't worth the price of built in speakers (better w/ atmos); same TV, but speakers are different. I would recommend the B7 if you have a a/v receiver. I looked at Samsung, Sony and LG. I looked at price ranges from around of $800 to $2000. I compared all kinds of features and quality. I knew I wanted a 65 inch going in. I would look at a feature and think, for a few dollars more, I can get a little better TV. I love watching movies with my family and picture quality was a big thing. I paid the price (Gotta good deal), but I love it. I only have ONE regret, but I think everyone has this: what if the next year model is even better (the C8 wasn't a vast improvement). I could have bought a cheaper TV and been happy, but I am extremely happy with my purchase.

The only problem I see is that RTINGS.com may not review these budget doorbuster TVs. I do see some budget TCL (decent ratings for gaming) TVs, so maybe one of them will be on sale. Start looking at the ads and start researching TVs you may be interested in before the big day hits. Again, doorbuster TVs are good for secondary TVs, but if you are buying for the family and you budget can afford it, you may want to go with a better quality. When I bought mine this year, I was all up and down from sub $800 TVs up to $2000+ trying to find the right balance between quality and price. Since I don't buy a TV every year, I wanted to get the most for my money so I didn't regret my purchase.

Not every TV with “HDR” written on the box produces equally rich, lifelike images.
First of all, TVs are all over the map when it comes to picture quality, HDR or no HDR. But there are also challenges specific to this technology. Most notably, a TV might not be bright enough to really deliver on HDR. The reason why is differences in sets' “nits,” the units used to measure brightness.
Better-performing HDR TVs typically generate at least 600 nits of peak brightness, with top performers hitting 1,000 nits or more. But many HDR TVs produce only 100 to 300 nits. With an underpowered TV, the fire of a rocket launch becomes a single massive white flare. With a brighter television, you’d see tongues of fire and smoke, as if you were really there.
The benefits of HDR are often lost with mediocre displays. Unfortunately, you can’t just read the packaging—or even rely on how the picture looks in the store. Instead, you have to do your won due diligence and research before buying.
True. That is why I posted the link to RTINGS.com so people could do research. The same could be same for posting refresh rates and such on the box; they are not all the same even though they claim to be. It took me a while before I decided on my TV; I didn't just go buy one.

II know cheap Doorbuster TVs can be enticing, but I only see them as a secondary TV or kids room type. Be careful if you are buying for your main TV. Cheap is good, but make sure you know what you are getting. It's amazing that you can get a 55 inch 4K TV for $200 or almost $2000. There must be some differences. A good site for LOTS of TV information is RTINGS.com (yes, I spelled it right). I did a lot of research before I bought my TV earlier this year. Try to get the best TV within your budget, not necessarily the cheapest (especially if you enjoy watching TV).

Congratulations to the winners!

I'm hoping for an invite on the Auto. My DW has accidentally asked Alexa for things in the car, so I think I need one, lol. We have several devices and I have a spot waiting for Christmas. We use them all the time; Alarms, lights (Hue bulbs and light strips), thermostat, turn on the TV and change channels (sometimes you lose the remote), music, recipes and general questions. I have it set up so when you come in the house you say 'Alexa, welcome harvest'. She then turns on all our fall lights throughout the house (we do it for Christmas as well). There should be lots of Echo deals just like last year.

For those looking for a new TV. Try to ensure your new TV has HDR (High Dynamic Range). It is a technique used in imaging to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity to enhance the picture. When watching Netflix 4K shows or 4K UHD Blu-ray, it can really make a difference.

Anyone hear anything on Black Friday Webcast for this year? Just wondering. I'm surprised someone hasn't asked yet, lol.
-
1. I'll never find all this stuff! I need a map!
2. This will be fun watching them run for doorbusters not knowing the map is wrong.
3. This map is wrong! Where am I, Target? These aren't the Keurig machines!

It looks like may have accidentally, or maybe they are testing, posted a Black Friday sale item. Found this on their website: LINK
It is "Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000 Jim Carrey) on 4K UHD Blu-ray. The price ($12.99) seems pretty good as there have been other 4K UHDs at this price or lower in the last two years. There is no picture, but the link will take you to the page or click on my attachment to see it. Also you can see the description ends in 'BF18' (Black Friday 2018?). We'll have to wait and see.

We had Leggett here in Virginia and they went out back in the early 90s. Belk is the parent company, but their stores are no longer in Virginia. I still get ads for them because they are in North Carolina (next door).

Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday...which has better sales?
in 2018
Posted
Black Friday is better, IMO. Some of the same items will be a little more expensive on Cyber Monday. I've been watching for a few years, and I noticed prices are not as low on items of interest (though that could be different for others; may depend on what you are looking for). Pick a few items and compare this year and you can form your own opinion.
