This $250 Google TV projector saved me when my $2,200 Samsung TV died

Wait 5 sec.

I’ve had my brand-spanking-new 65-inch Samsung The Frame Pro TV for less than a year, and it has been nothing but trouble since. It has random and frequent CEC issues with my Google TV Streamer and Samsung’s own soundbar, and it arbitrarily turns off when it shouldn’t in the middle of watching something. A few weeks ago, this $2,200 TV completely gave up. Any time I turned it on, it lasted all of five seconds, then turned off by itself. Samsung support in France has been extremely slow to react — it took them two weeks to pick it up for repair — leaving me with no other TV for weeks. Or maybe not?!When my Frame Pro completely gave up on me in the middle of Real Madrid and Benfica’s UCL second-leg tie, I ran up to the bedroom, picked up the XGIMI Vibe One projector I’ve been sporadically using there, and set it up in the living room. And boom! I had a pseudo-TV right there, on my wall, just in time to catch Vinicius’ brilliant counterattack and 80-minute goal. So I’ve been using the $250 Vibe One for the last few weeks as my TV and, for the price, I couldn’t recommend it enough.
