Would you buy TVs made by Apple?

[avg123]

If Apple makes TVs, will you consider buying it.

 

Lets say the TVs have the top of the line LG panels with Apple internals (Speakers, processors etc) and built in Apple TV. The TVs would probably cost more than the comparable LG TV. How much more would you mind paying for the Apple TV?

[Cole5]

HAhahahahahah

No

[AskTJ]

If it's good value (HA), then I'll consider, but most likely other brands.

[D13H4RD]

Depends on the price 

 

It has to be around the realm of what a high-end TV would usually cost, and it has to be every bit as competitive.

 

Apple has a tremendous leg-up on most smart TVs with their ecosystem. But I also want the absolute best image quality they could muster. They can do it as seen by the excellent color accuracy on their computer displays and phones. That depends on whether they want to, however 

[PlayStation 2]

Knowing how Apple likes their displays on their Macs, I'm sure it'd be hella if color reproduction was your thing.

[jiyeon]

No, it's going to be a regular TV with 250% of the price added on, it's going to force me to use Apple TV, and also force me to go back into the Apple ecosystem as a whole. I'd rather not go down the Apple rabbithole again.

[Beef Boss]

I'm good with my tv's I bought. I got my LG a few years ago for $1500 and my other 4k this year for only 400. Knowing Apple the TV wouldn't play Roku or play media from anything but another Apple device 'for durability of the product' 

[GDRRiley]

Nope, unless apple somehow makes a TV for as much as everyone else I still won't just to spite them, I haven't liked their direction sense 2012 or so. The last time they made some great machines.

Where is the "yes, if it is well-priced" option? I think you've left that one out out of bias.

Or the fact that it'd never happen.

[DanielA123]

if you want an apple TV for an old TV this is a good ideas (to have access on internet ) but if it is for a new tv with internet think about it.

[DrMacintosh]

There needs to be an option for, "What is a TV?" 

 

I know I won't buy one. 

[Amazonsucks]

No, because itll be like everything else apple "makes"... they dont make anything. They stick an apple logo on foxconn made junk and charge a lot of money for junk.

 

Id buy from the people who have been making their screens though: LG or Samsung. But ill probably alwsys have a Sony TV like i have since i was a kid in the 90s. My 2007 Bravia still has better colour(WCG-CCFL backlight and xvYCC) than most modern LCDs. 

 

Now that Sony is making OLED TVs i might consider getting one. You couldnt pay me to have an Apple TV.

Thank you both.

[D13H4RD]

I'll tell you what's more likely for me. 

 

A Samsung QLED with an Apple TV STB. 

 

Why not OLED? Burn-in. My TVs usually stay for years. 

[Mira Yurizaki]

I wouldn't buy one for the sole reason I have no real footprint in the Apple ecosystem. So it doesn't make sense to buy one.

 

And I don't think anyone else would either, unless Apple discontinues the Apple TV entirely. And then few people would appreciate that.

[Silentprototipe]

Over my dead body! 

 

 

[PlayStation 2]

I guess I'll elaborate on how I'd feel about it personally.

Would I? If it were competitively priced, most likely. Again, Apple chooses fantastic displays for a lot of their shit, and if they did a smart TV with Apple TV integrated with it, it'd be one hell of a thing to consider.

If it weren't? Probably not. If it's not worth its price tag, why buy it? Another thing would be deinterlacing quality. That matters a lot to me, and with someone who has a 2160p set downstairs that sucks at deinterlacing 480i content, I'd have a hard time determining if it would be worth the cash. If Apple could implement a Yadif deinterlacing filter rather than the really mediocre deinterlacing methods that most modern TVs have while still not having bad response times, it'd be one hell of a thing for me to think about.

[BlueChinchillaEatingDorito]

Watch them cover the display with glass, that's gonna help with glare.

[DimasRMDO]

I'd get a normal TV, build a cheap HTPC and the TV suddenly becomes more than smart a TV (YouTube, online TV channels, watch movies, do some work, etc.).

[TacoSenpai]

screw it get a CRT

[Spotty]

Nope - but mainly just because I don't have an apple ecosystem. If I was using an apple laptop, apple phone, etc then I would consider it to keep things on compatible platforms.
Right now I'm happy with my Samsung TV hooked up to a plex nas.

[Teddy07]

I don´t buy apple products.

 

The only exception will be an Ipad (student for note taking) because there is no decent Android alternative.
