New TV - what do you recommend?
Afternoon All,
Tried searching for past threads on this subject but could not find one, so here we go....
Looking to spend £250-£350 on a TV. Size wise around 42"
Will be used for TV only, no gaming.

I've no idea, except, I'm sure for that money you will be able to get exactly the same as, or may be a lot better than, I spent nearer £1,000 on 9 or 10 years back.

I saw on Twitter, Lidl are doing Sharp 50” 4K sets for £299.
No idea how good they are but amazing price. Who can remember 16” mono TVs back in the 60’s and then 21” colour in 1971?

Re: New TV - what do you recommend?
Based on your requirements, I'd be considering the LG or the Samsung:

Re: New TV - what do you recommend?
I recently got a 42" Samsung 7400 and am well impressed with everything. As the person higher up said -- get it from Richer Sounds and you get a six year guarantee at no extra cost. I think Toshiba is a Curry's brand nowadays and Argos have Sharp. Not sure if either are as good as they used to be.

LG or Samsung - older models will be better than budget brands.

Panasonic for me all the way. Not the cheapest but the best quality along with Sony.

OLED TVs aren't LCD and don't have a backlight. Plasma displays (RIP) weren't LCD either.

Re: New TV - what do you recommend?
I'm also looking for a new TV, £1500 budget but would rather spend £1200 ish.
Looking at 55 or 65 inch, Oled or Qled.
From what I can see on the tinternet, Oled are deemed slightly better.
Any opinions or recommendations would be appreciated

Samsung are ****, my Sony which i have now which is OLED is **** compared to others. Best I've had is LG.

Re: New TV - what do you recommend?
Very much depends on the model that you get as opposed to the brand. I’d generally opt for Sony or Panasonic but there are some bloody good LG and Samsung models out there.Untinted Glasses wrote:Samsung are ****, my Sony which i have now which is OLED is **** compared to others.

Panasonic make the best TVs. They always have done.

Re: New TV - what do you recommend?
Don’t buy a tv for the main reason being to pair your phone
You can cast to any tv .
Panasonic used to be ok, they’ve been surpassed nowadays . I think previous poster who says they have always been the best , is getting mixed up with pioneer kudos who were without doubt the best
You won’t go wrong with an LG

Was weighing up LG or Samsung, went for this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133025412377" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
There was 10% off also yesterday on Ebay, so cost me £314 more or less
Right, over to Barry Chuckle' now.....
