I use Youtube TV at Lake and Comcast at home. HATE Comcast (saying it politely). Have had nothing but problems with their boxes since we moved here 7 years ago. Have gone through several different boxes, versions including newest 4K boxes etc. etc. Comcast techs have been out 5+ times and even their NE Tech Director due to issues as they keep claiming this shouldn't be the experience... (Excuse Tirade
)
Will be getting rid of Comcast TV (keeping internet) just after the New Year and using YouTube TV full time at both places. Bring this up, as what I've learned from buying several different TVs and various devices is - I want a solid TV and would prefer no devices connected to my TV so I just have 1 cable (POWER) and 1 remote.
Samsung processing is terrible (One of the places where Samsung cuts cost hoping to 'save' money on their cost to build the TV hoping you just hook up a device vs use onboard Apps). They have a hard time streaming for long periods of time - note I was told this however has been improved for their QLED. Went through 3 tv's with Samsung 2 years ago until they finally gave up and admitted issues were processing (which I knew all along and was telling them - I was doing A/B testing with a separate device with no issues). That being said, I didn't want a separate device and another remote...
That being said, HIGHLY suggest taking a look at the LG OLED line. Expensive? Yes - Certainly more than most TVs, but if you are looking for top-end quality, the ability to steam for hours with no picture or performance issues, extra devices or remotes - this is absolutely the way to go! They use WebOS which works very well and has all the core Apps (HBO, Showtime, Disney, Apple TV, Netflix, Hulu, Youtube TV, Youtube, Spotify, even Roku etc. etc. etc.). They did have a contractual issue with HBO up until about 4ish months ago, but that dispute was solved and the App was added. I went with 2 LG OLED's for my house and have had zero issues. When people come over, they are always blown away by the picture quality. At this point, wish I was on LG Payroll as I should be getting a commission on all the TV's I've sold ha!
Again - BIGGEST difference here is that you CAN stream live TV for hours and not worry about the Processor overheating and making your video choppy/laggy. Most people will blame it on their Internet, but it in fact is NOT their internet, and many times the device, especially when you consider the buffering they do locally when streaming (why it runs seconds behind Live TV typically).
Only issue with Youtube TV is no NESN (So no Bruins, Celtics or RedSox). You can submit requests for that per another thread on here which I've done, but have little confidence in will be added in the near future. Since I don't watch them frequently, really not a big issue for me (unlike Patriots
).
Figured I'd pass along my experience as it might be something to look into if High-Quality Picture, 1 remote, and no additional devices are your preference. Any by High Quality - Take a look at the picture in person and do a comparison. It's truly impressive.
