Well, after using the big-screen LED TV my nephew dropped off some 6-8 weeks ago and loving it, this morning it failed to launch.
I did what little trouble shooting I could and found that it was getting power to the input jack but then...nothing...
I had last watched a movie last night
("A Quiet Place") and shut it down afterward. No hint of a problem. It's an Olevia and the company is no longer in business and parts are, I'm sure, problematic, even if there was a repair shop around here. The last one closed up in Spring 2020.
I had just ordered that piggyback music adapter for my helicopter headphones.
So, undeterred, I took my ignorance in hand and headed to the Internet! To Wal-Mart Online, specifically. I decided to take Eric & Debbie's suggestion/hint and ordered a 55" Sceptre LED TV. (If you can't believe a lawyer, who can you believe???) The same $364 one I priced when Eric posted. It's not the 'smart' model, just the base 4K UHD LED TV. Should be here next week.
I have a Scepter 35" LED TV and like it. The picture is much sharper than my RCA LED 35" w/DVD player, and the sound is much better too. I have a DVI-to-HDMI adapter cable for my port replicator to TV connection, so I can play DVD movies on my laptop and watch the movies on my TV. Works great, although the audio leaves much to be desired (hard to fit BOSE quality in a laptop).
So now I'm waiting for the 55"er and watching the 35"er. I had
"The Racers" (1955, Kirk Douglas, a classic) ready to watch but I'll wait for the 55" to arrive. Much more enjoyable on the big screen, I'm sure!
Thanks for the tip, Eric!
