Good call MDN. Apple dropped the ball on a branded tv years ago. So many much better options out there with more bang for the buck.
@Sean 👍
Now I imitate Sean. Very clever, right?
One of these days I’ll tell you all about my VAST business experience and the huge company I run. Then you’ll REALLY appreciate my great wisdom and how lucky you are to have me here.

LOL @MDN dropping the Amazon Affiliate link for all to see.
Samsung TV?
That’s a no. Don’t have any Samsung branded products in my home and never will.
OK, a 65 inch 8K TV.
