Yep, for $350, I bought a 13" Zenith color TV for my apartment in 1980.

I got a soundbar for Christmas...problem was, it only had Bluetooth, HDMI and Optical outputs, neither of which are supported by my 24" TV from 2008...so in the end, I had to buy a new TV.
Managed to get the following model for €274 ($330) in 43"

Will sit on a media center we haven't purchased yet.
Do not use Roku, XBox, Sling, etc. We do have Netflix streaming.

Pretty simple needs. This TCL 55" was rated pretty high by CNET: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0885F5GMP...23d%7Cdtp%7Cus
Is this a good option for $650?

All feedback appreciated.
Ended up buying a TCL 65" 6-series seen here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-65-...E&gclsrc=aw.ds
Very pleased with it. Went a bit over budget after our son convinced us we'd be happier with a 65" set. Thanks for all your advice.
