I haven't shopped for a new tv in decades. Is it worth getting 8k? How do I get the best Black Friday deal? What features are most important? Thanks.

There's not much 8k content. Moving it over the internet is extremely slow and requires very high bandwidth.

Even with 4k, there isn't a lot of content. And you're likely to pay a premium for it without a visual improvement.

If you get a TV, treat it as a dumb device. Do not connect it to your network. They are very commonly used as surveillance devices. They monitor discussions in the room/house and report everything you watch and consume. If you're getting a TV, get something else from which you can stream your content, and then attach it to your TV.

Good answer. I know Samsung is one of the worst for surveillance (thus the lower prices). Currently, I don't even have cable, just a digital antenna. But I want a tv with a quality picture.
