Q: What are the warranty options, and where can i find them on the website.

A: Who needs a warranty when you can just pitch it and get a new one. What are you poor?

Q: I’m considering moving out of my home and purchasing this tv. Can it be used as adequate shelter for one?

A: Come on man!! Jeesh - How in the world could you use it for a shelter? Everyone knows you should use it as combo table, chair, nightlight, and warming plate. I use the box it came in as my shelter! You seriously need to get out more and experience the world. When you finally come out make sure to stop by my box and I can heat up a hot pocket on my warming plate!!

Q: So i've been on the fence of buying a Tesla or this TV. I just wanted to know what would be the best investment in the long run....

A: Get the Tesla also get FSD to get locked into that price before it becomes 100k. It's 8k for FSD as of now. 3 years ago it was 5k. Also which Tesla? As far as TV's go 8k is pointless as of now. Get a nice sony oled tv and the Tesla lol

Q: Does this TV have the capability/hardware to be hung on the wall still?

A: Yes, but that part is separate. It's on sale at Walmarts right now for 99,898 (2 dollars off) - a great deal if you ask me. I mean you will only look like a poser without a way to hang your new tv ion the wall of your fancy new card board box home. If you don't buy the hardware then don't bother moving into my refrigerator box neighborhood. You are low class and only belong in a one bedroom toaster box home neighborhood. However I guess you can take comfort in knowing that at the age of 42 1/2 that you were finally able to move out of your mom and dad's microwave oven box.

Q: Are these readily available and have you sold many

A: Yes, we have sold almost 20 of them.

Q: Is this item going on sale any time soon? I have $1,500 budget, thanks!

A: As technology moves forward the price will come down, eventually with in your budget. 6-8 moths??
