I guess we all have our budgets, but this line of reasoning is how you end up with the brown hockey ice.
Personally I'd rather have a mid range 60" tv than a cheap 65". (or a mid range 70" 1080P instead of a cheap 65" 4K)
Perhaps you have misunderstood me. I can currently get a name brand 65" 4k TV for $1900CAD ($1430USD). I can get either a Panasonic or an LG for that price. So for me, the $400USD extra compared to these new $1000USD TCL TVs is worth it.
And yes, you are correct. I do regret my Hisense to an extent. It's worth it for a better brand so long as the price difference isn't too much. The thing is, when I paid $550CAD for my Hisense TV the Samsungs were going for about $800CAD. I wasn't willing to pay close to double for the brand name. Overall I'm happy with the TV and it was within my budget at the time. But for my next TV I'm hoping to get a nice name brand 4k set with full HDMI 2.0 and good input lag.
The only lesson I can take from all this is:
Never listen to GStan.
