Holiday shoppers on the lookout for bigger and bigger TVs

TVs are some of the most popular items to fly off store shelves during the holidays. But this year, experts say shoppers are going bigger than ever. CBS News' Jeff Wagner explains.

Manufacturers pushing bigger models to get people to upgrade is also a reason. A few years ago 55" was the standard size. Now some models won't come in less than a 65".

I put a projector in my living room, measured image at 220 inches.

People: “we need 100 inch screen TVs.”
Also people: “we can’t afford milk and eggs.”

Got a 75” Samsung AU8000 tv. Thing started going out 2 years to the date that i bought it. I got it Black Friday 2022 for about $800. It started cutting off and restarting itself Black Friday this year. Looking to send it to Samsung for maintenance. Hopefully they don’t charge me the price of an entirely new tv just to fix it. I just bought a new 65” TCL tv & got a 4 year warranty on it.

I agree older people need bigger TVs to read what’s on the screen.

To hell with 'bigger', I'm looking for dumber TV's

In my opinion bigger is not always better. The more you increase the size of an image the more grainy and pixelated it looks.

My TV has been packed up. No longer use it. Hasnt it become outdated due to the increase in digital technology like ipads and phones? Content is now available online for viewers with different tastes. But its good if you want a cinematic experience!

I'm so happy with my projector. Never gonna buy a TV again.

I have a TCL 98 inch QM7 and it's awesome ;)

[AnthonyTolhurst-dwnc]

Nuts! I manage to get by with an iPad. Just sit closer!

[GlenAllen]

Big screen need large room or living room

Bouth of my 55 inch tvs I got/found for free. I mean, really no point of buying tv at this point.

I have a 13 year old 46 inch full hd sony, works flawless, I use it for movies and games, when it goes I'll get a 43 inch tv.
What is it with people and big tvs? They mostly buy big and low end tvs, they don't even care about picture quality.
Tvs over 65 inch are stupid and buying a new one when you can't read in the "old one"?
She should be saving that money for groceries.

True measure of success, the size of your TV 😮

[ambientmusicandbeyond]

Only reason large tvs come down in price is the internal parts are lower quality.

[gianfrancojoseramirez]

Yet people are complaining about the price of foods. 🤣🤣😂😂😁😁 Hypocrite much

[EfbyEye]

Unless they are made in your country I’d be buying up Chinese made tvs too before dictator trump takes over the Whitehouse
