My son recently broke his TV box—well, actually, the remote… My father-in-law offered to help us buy a new TV box since the remote for the model we had is no longer available. After thinking about it for a while, we decided it would be better to just buy a Smart TV—that way, I’d also have a TV in my room (I’d use the old TV with the TV box and a remote control app on my phone), and I’d let my son have the new TV.
It's not easy to take on more debt on top of what we already have, but since we had my father-in-law's help, we were able to go ahead with this crazy idea. I've never actually had such a modern TV before—it's like using a TV box, but with everything built into a single TV. To be honest, I was pretty scared when I saw the TV in person and picked it up—it feels extremely light and delicate.
The WORST part is that after paying the first installment for the TV, we realized that the remote my son had gotten wet was working just fine—I guess it just needed to dry out, but we really panicked… There was no time to change our minds, and anyway, it was something I’d been planning for a long time since I also wanted a TV in my room… And since this new TV looks so beautiful and delicate, I decided to put it in my room and keep it safe from the little 8-year-old tornado.
It was like setting up a phone—even my photos transferred to the TV. It was pretty crazy, but I love it. This TV cost $160 and so far it’s worked really well. Plus, the picture is crystal clear and the sound is great. It feels so weird to have a TV in my room after not having one for so long...
It also brought this thing to hang on the wall, but honestly, I'm not sure if it looks good in my room—there isn't much space to put it without it getting in the way. I'm not entirely convinced, but it's still nice to have this tool.
