TV Setup - what a nightmare it has been.

1) Got a Vizio Smart TV from Target for a good price - Got it home it had a cracked screen.
2) Took it back to Target and they didn't have any more.
3) Got another TV from Best Buy with their suggested Samsung Sound Bar.
4) Got it home, they didn't bother to tell us we needed a special cable.
5) Back to Best Buy to get the cable and a Chromecast to connect the computer to the TV for DVDs.
6) Samsung Sound Bar is not compatible with the TV, despite Best Buy's recommendation.
7) Google Chromecast not not compatible with our router. In fact it is not compatible with many.
8) Took it all back to Best Buy.

The TV is OK, has a bunch of stuff built in including Netflix, Youtube, etc...
I guess we'll get a regular old Blue Ray / DVD player and Vizio Sound Bar.
I hope they work.

Of all the technical stuff I have mastered in my life - Audio Visual is not one of them.
