“Lifetime manufacturer warranty.”

The lifetime of the TV is three years.

Don’t buy Hisense, y'all. Best dumb tubes are Sony & LG.

    FFS, don't buy LG!

    Strong evidence of spyware in that they record the room's audio and send it to their servers.

    Don’t buy any smart TV, from anyone. Get a dumb screen, buy used if you have to. Go online and find instructions for disabling/destroying the mic and camera if you already have one.
