Look, I’m tired. Everything is a major endeavor. However, I have to keep on going. Now, I’m a young(ish) widow with a 14 year old son. I have a company to run, with hundreds of people counting on me to make the right decisions in this topsy-turvy world. The last thing I want to worry about are the characteristics you want in a new television. Is it too much to much to ask for just a simple television that works and allows me to watch the shows I have come to rely on to pass the time?

In the midst of planning a memorial service, getting new health insurance, and making sure my son is ok, amongst other things, I needed a new television.

I went to Best Buy. And, this is not a rant against Best Buy. I just was not ready. I went in and stated I needed a new television. Then, for the next 40 minutes, I received a dissertation on the three Cs of television that I needed to consider. The three Cs were: clarity, contrast, and color. And, once I decided on that, would come the sound bar. Honestly, it was too much for me. I get it. One once a clear image whose images are. I could see the differences on the display units. And, on any other day, I would appreciate attaining said knowledge and picking something I felt was good for one’s monetary expenditure. That day was not it.

If I were to pick, based on economics but quality, I would go with the Samsung 55 or 65 inch, Neo Qled 90b 4K television. It has great color, contrast, and clarity. However, on that day, I couldn’t pick. I literally ran out of the store overwhelmed.

I kept thinking about how could any of that mattered. There are so many more important things in life, and post-death, to consider and worry about. I think I probably freaked out the salesman. And, for that, I’m sorry. I wasn’t ready to hear about the intricacies of television viewing. I shouldn’t have ventured out. However, the television I mentioned is a good one. Get a nice soundbar with it. But only go in either knowing what you want or willing and able to withstand 40 minutes of a review of television systems. That’s a lot of time out of one’s short life.
