At one point he asks, why would you want a rollable TV?

Let's look at the price of regular LG OLED television.
Suggested Price $3,499.99
Promotion Price* $2,799.99
Without Stand Weight 46.3 lbs

Cheapest 65"4K TV on Amazon is $499.99Without Stand Weight 45.6 lbs

Of course, you can get a 55" TV for much less.

How much would you pay to have a first generation rollable television?

My current TV is 19", I'm thinking of
going to 15". I don't like TV's where
I have to move my head to follow
the action.

If you have the TV on a desk in front of you, 19" is fine.

If you need to go smaller, just strap one on.

That seems like a terrific price compared to web prices. Are you sure it is a 47" TV? Normally a TV is sold by diagonal dimension, but a 55" diagonal TV is about 47" wide.

1 $149.99 $269.99 Digital TV Dumb
3 $159.99 $169.99 $269.99 $319.99 $389.99 Simply Smart (Roku)
4 $369.99 $419.99 $499.99 $799.99 Stunning Picture (4K)
5 $399.99 $449.99 $499.99 $899.99 Premium Picture (Dolby Vision HDR)
6 $649.99 $999.99 Powerful Performance (CONTRAST CONTROL ZONES)


Usually, the absolute lowest prices on TV s are the Sceptre brand. Most reviews say you get what you pay for.

I just picked up a 55" 4k Westinghouse for my bedroom. It was $199 during an online sale.

It's difficult to believe the components don't cost that much.

A few years ago, I also aquired a Westinghouse that was a Black Friday loss leader. It has served me well.
