Love at first sight doesn’t just apply to people. Apparently, the word is also used to describe the confusion one gets after discovering an electronics deal that seems too good to be true.

A 98-inch TV is certainly a huge size. According to Walmart’s website, the service is combined with Roku’s smart streaming service. Additionally, the TV costs $1,498. It features a 97.5-inch screen size, 16:9 aspect ratio, 60Hz refresh rate, and LED imaging technology. Plus, it’s a full 4K UHD TV set.

Your choice between Sony and Onn. will depend on the type of technology you’re looking for in your TV. For example, Sony’s model comes packed with Dolby Vision HDR along with “PlayStation 5 exclusive features.”
The refresh rate of the Sony model is twice that of the Onn. Branded TVs are also available at 120Hz. Both TVs come with Bluetooth, making it easy to connect your devices. According to Walmart’s website, there are many positive reviews of On in the comments section. tv set. Moreover, Sony products on Amazon are also a treasure trove of positive reviews.
If $1,500 is the absolute maximum you can spend, you’ll have to sacrifice screen real estate. That’s because the Sony Bravia XR model with the same additional features and refresh rate sells the 75-inch model for $1,498. This is the same price as onn.
But it’s on. worth it?
It all depends on how much you care about image quality. One Redditor asked about the refresh rate, sparking a discussion about the viewing experience.
They wrote: “As mentioned in a previous reply, a 120HZ display is recommended for watching movies, as most movies are shot at 24 fps. Flickering occurs. 60 is not divisible by 24, but 120 is.”
Additionally, other Redditors who responded to the post said that 120Hz is a “game changer” for gaming. Additionally, the enhanced refresh rate is said to make watching sports more comfortable.
Additionally, PC Mag echoed these sentiments. However, the outlet also added a warning that anything above 240 Hz has “rapidly diminishing returns.” In an article about refresh rates, PC Mag notes that only fast-twitch gamers will notice this level of difference.
TikTokers split
One person wrote in the comments section that the 60Hz refresh rate is not enough. “At 60hz at this size, it could be equivalent to a slideshow,” they write.
Another said it’s probably best to stay away from on. Offerings. “If you want a TV that will last more than a year, don’t buy this brand,” they warned. “There’s a reason it’s cheap.”
“Only 60Hz is wild,” echoed another.
“I’d rather just buy a smaller TV that’s actually better quality,” one TikToker wrote.
Others expressed the same concerns about quality. “Only 1.5k is cheap for this size.”
However, some felt that the size of the TV screen more than made up for it. “Honestly, 1,500 isn’t bad, I’ll take it,” said one.
A TikTok user who also owns the same TV warned against purchasing it. “The TV I had had very bad reviews and would disappear quickly.”
This isn’t the first time Walmart shoppers have talked about the giant Roku TV. The two former TikTokers shared their disbelief in front of the TV. Again, not everyone was on board.
