ROFLMAO!!! That's stone age in TV terms.I have a Sony LCD of similar vintage and there are OTA TV signals it cannot decode, and there is no software update to help. Anything sent in MP4 format is sound only, and forget the hi-def ATSC 3.0 signals. Also, it has no streaming capabilities, I'd have to get a Tablo or similar.
Got up today and found a surprise. Not a good surprise. No Marilyn Monroe with a cup of coffee and my robe. Nope. my TV went gunnybag. I don't actually use it for television, it's my monitor for my laptop. The TV was only 20 years old or so.
So, go on Amazon and look at what they have. A lot of their TVs, especially the inexpensive ones, ship from Best Buy. There are 3 Best Buys within 20 miles of me, including a Best Buy warehouse, but they can't seem to take less than a week to deliver a TV if you order off Best Buy's website. At least the models I am interested in.
Now, I could go and pick it up, however fitting a 65 inch TV in my Camry would be difficult if not impossible. Luckily, if I order off Amazon, I can get the same TV that Best Buy wants a week to get to me. Amazon will get it here tomorrow.
This bothers me and I don't know why. I mean, even a week is much better service than the old days, where mail order often took several weeks. Being able to get it in one day? Amazing. But the difference in shipping bothers me. It shouldn't but it does. Just getting cranky in my later years, I guess.
Anyway, hope your morning surprise was better than mine. Have the best day you possibly can.
Holy mackerel, you are using a 65” flatscreen, with probably an awesome 4K picture to check email, surf the internet, and most importantly, come here to converse with us?

Our Vizeo died on us .
Replaced with a 55" Samsung.
Great TV but many brands have cut some features on the newer ones.
Didn't realize till I got it home and set it up that there were no analog connections.
No more home theater experience for us.
No RCA output for audio and my receiver does not have digital .
It does look good in 4 K though .
What ever happened to the good old TV repairman???? Went the way of the slide ruler shop I guess.

It was a 55 inch, actually. And not 4K. The new one is a 55" also. And it IS 4K UHD. It still isn't here. Supposed to be out on the truck for delivery, but the best they can nail it down is today before 10PM. So now I wait.
Glad you got the new one hooked up. You’ll be surfing the net in style now!
Yeah. I was looking at the 65s, but a quick check with a tape measure showed a major rearrangement of furniture would be needed, so, I got another 55. I'm sitting about 7-8 feet from it so a 55 is actually the recommended size anyway.In my post, I was writing about your new TV. Then I saw this post and wondered where I got the 65” number, so I had to look back. In your original post you mentioned a 65” TV! At my age, I worry about losing my mind sometimes!
