Now the was the reply I was looking for. Thank you.

Cheers guys. Some useful info; I hadn’t considered a sound bar. For some reason I thought tv buying has got a lot more complicated and overwhelming over the years but it seems straight forward. When I last paid any attention I recall there were numerous different types (plasma?) and numerous HD definitions etc etc.

 

[Boroseagull]

Which? best buy at that size.

[A small army of nsc’ers will try to brow-beat you into going for a much larger TV, under the it needs to fill your complete vision fad].

Excuse my ignorance but would this LG be similar? I really don't understand all these OLED or ONED symbols. This is available from my local Carrefour.

You can’t go wrong imho with a Samsung Smart TV

Deal of the day: Samsung 43 Inch AU7020 UHD HDR 4K Smart TV (2023) - Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV With HDR Picture, Adaptive Sound Lite, PurColour Colour Technology & Q-Symphony Sound - Compatible With Alexa https://amzn.eu/d/4JI2yjv

Jesus, TVs have come down in price. Didn't realise how cheap they were these days. Shame important stuff like food hasn't

Given it's HT asking, I think he'll need to go to Johan Lewiß or Currywurst's...



p.s. HT - truly, honestly, consider a larger TV unless your room is sehr klein. Definitely get one which is 4K resolution and ideally one which is HDR (essentially able to accurately show very bright and very dim things at the same time) using either OLED or QLED screen construction - I have a Samsung QLED screen and was LITERALLY blown away by watching the sunrise over the plains on an Attenborough documentary.

There's a third one. Reicher Sounds are good.

They offer a warranty that lasts a thousand years.

Right, we need a tv. Or to be more precise the wife wants a tv. We haven’t owned one for years and we/I have no idea about these things. The only criteria is it’s approx 42 inch and we don’t want to spend a fortune; not interested in extra sound-bars etc. I’d like it to look minimal and modern so it fits with everything else.

I am not interested in using it but if I can cast my iPad and watch Albion games I might; this is a nice to have.

Go do your stuff NSC.

I have found a nice looking stand though.

We have an LG TV from 2008, still going strong plus an LG DVD player from 2009. We bought a new 43" smart LG in 2021 for the Olympics and it has been brilliant, we mainly use it for Netflix/iPlayer such apps. A good choice

Jokes aside, whenever their name comes up I have to share my love for Richer Sounds. Absolutely exemplary company and I buy all my tech from them as a matter of principle. Never known anyone have a bad experience with them, quite apart from their profit sharing, ethical trading and accommodating things like paternity leave. Truly progressive and a credit to British business.

This could be the final solution.

Hi, according to Which? testing the QNED models appear to have picture and/or sound issues. That’s a tempting price, depends how fussy you are.

Instead, at that screen size, this looks decent.

Worth looking at second hand TV's if you're on a budget. I picked up a very decent 42" Panasonic with no issues for £20 on facebook marketplace not long ago, had to shop around a bit though.

I’ve had a Panny plasma that I got new for £375 about 11 years ago and, apart from a bit of screen burn from too much FIFA, still works beautifully. Sure, it costs about 11p/kwh rather than 2-3p/kwh like more modern tech, and it isn’t 4K, but it does the job still.

When I do upgrade it’ll be Panasonic all the way if they’re still in the marketplace

Yep. Michael Franti, later of the brilliant Spearhead (Home is still one of my favourite albums)

Second vote for LG. I have a lot of tech in my house and the Most reliable of all of it has been the LG stuff. Something like this? https://www.currys.co.uk/products/lg-43lq60006la-43-smart-full-hd-hdr-led-tv-10254941.html

I have an LG 55inch, cost €530. I could have got it €10 cheaper from Amazon.de but they wanted €80 for delivery (to Portugal).
Black Friday tomorrow. Fill your boots.

Was it very windy that morning?

Yes, but it was The BeatNigs originally….his earlier band. I think I had this on 12” before I foolishly sold all my records.

 

[Questions]

I like LG.

 

[Official Old Man]

Another vote for LG here. I've a 55" thingy one that does everything. 4K movies on Amazon are brilliant and yes, those earth shots on Planet Earth take ones breath away.
TV sound is OK but I use a full 5.1 system which rocks the walls.
Set up is either easy or complicated, just depends on what you want from the tele box.

Still got mine! Recently unearthed that one amongst a stack of other vinyl all from dark storage places, inherited my brother's albums too. Get very nostalgic in my hut at the end of the garden. No idea why I thought Tackhead were any good - but others really stood the test of time.

Annoyingly my brother had a Smiths white label promo of their first album (I think) but let someone have it/lost it years ago. Would have been worth a fortune.
