Anyone with this TV find that there is "lip-syncing" issues when using it with a cable box? I have the Haier version hooked up to a rogers 4K box and on some channels the audio is either ahead or slower than the video by a tad which is quite annoying.

Have you tried various input ports on the on the TV as well and making sure you are using a "High Speed HDMI cable" ?Bojangles416 wrote: ↑ Anyone with this TV find that there is "lip-syncing" issues when using it with a cable box?

According to the Walmart BF flyer the RCA 55" is going for $368, assuming i can get it online before it sells out (assuming its not just in store) is there any reason not to buy it over the Costco Haier 55", as i understand they are the same unit?
Costco is $469.99 - 25 masterpass and gets an extra year warranty, unless it also gets a BF markdown.

Where it matter:
- 90 days return (vs. 30 days at WM).
- 3 additional years (on top of the first 2) for $30 (WM does have extended warranty not sure about the price though).
Where it doesn't:
- 1st year will go through the manufacturer either way.
- 2nd year will go through CC issuer for non Costco members.

Sounds like Walmart is mostly a better deal unless Costco has a BF discount
To be honest i would expect better warranty service from Costco then WM, but of course i would hope it never needs such service. One thing i have wondered is with a costco membership does the warranty doubling credit card cover a third year?
Also are dead pixels likely on this TV and how does Costco/WM handle them?

No you wont be covered for a third year, both Costco's concierge warranty and CC extended warranty are capped at 2 years from purchase (i.e. for manufacturers who offers 2 years warranty, like Epson, you can't exercise any of these "extra warranties").Quentin5 wrote: ↑ Thanks

They wont handle it in any special way, just take it back for an exchange during the "satisfaction guarantee" return period.Also are dead pixels likely on this TV and how does Costco/WM handle them?

The Technicolor (new addition to Curtis) version was $380 at SDM last weekend (were people redeemed $175 of points toward it, netting around $200)
The Sylvania version will be $399 at CT as well

yeah but for these kind of brands isnt costco's extended warranty better than getting the RCA from WM this BF? I'm quite scared that after a few years it might break down.

Few things to note about Costco's warranty:DimsumDeals wrote: ↑ yeah but for these kind of brands isnt costco's extended warranty better than getting the RCA from WM this BF? I'm quite scared that after a few years it might break down.
- first near Costco will send you to the manufacturer (so its the same whether or not you buy from Costco).
- 2nd year Costco only covers their "active members", if you are not then its the CC issuer that will cover second year (if they have an extended warranty policy) which will also apply for your second year buying elsewhere.
- For years 3-5 Costco sells an extended warranty coverage ($30 for TVs bellow $500, $60 between $500 and $1000), but so does WM, CT and TheSource for the cheapo TVs they will be selling this BF, you will need to ask around and see total cost of ownership (warranty included) for each option.

I bought a 10ft HDMI 2.0 cable just in case, but do the 49" or 55" RCA TVs come with an HDMI 2.0 cable?

So I got a Sylvania 55" today and have read this thread the whole way. Couple questions :
What does Other Settings > HDMI 4k > Standard or Enhancement do?
When I'm in 4k mode, I can't change like any picture settings and advanced is greyed out. All I can change is the colour temp.

I can't find the manual for the Sylvania, but for non HDR TVs that usually means enabling "Deep Color".Millstone wrote: ↑ So I got a Sylvania 55" today and have read this thread the whole way. Couple questions :

If you are locked of settings in the user menu, try making your changes in the service menu (see if pressing menu -> 1147 works for you).
Good luck,
