TeamRocket Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 Okah i need to get a new tv for under 500 ave seen a few but some people swear the LG is the best and others are like Samsung and others be like JVC so my question is what is the TV to get? Min i want is full HD and maybe smart not fussed about UHD or 4k as everyone keeps saying there is no point
TeamRocket Posted 5 July 2016 Author Posted 5 July 2016 Reason it being 500 its cos Currys owe me 500 from my last tv that didnt last for 6 month
m4DD0gg Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 I would not dismiss 4k and uhd as whilst they are not there yet they will undoubtedly become mainstream given time.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 Have a look in the shop at the operating tv's, and look for the best natural colour. I got a Sony, and it is fab.
Dr The Singh Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 I've got a smart TV and to be fair rarely use the smart functions the functionality is no where near as good as smart boxes etc
Izzy Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 Maybe check out the 'Which' reports for TV comparisons, ratings and reviews. I've always gone for a Panasonic or Sony personally...
Izzy Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 I remember remotes that had a curly cable which attached to the TV
Strokes Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 I remember remotes that had a curly cable which attached to the TV No batteries, that needs reinventing.
Wakeyfox Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 I remember remotes that had a curly cable which attached to the TV Alright Peter Kaye
DB11 Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 I remember remotes that had a curly cable which attached to the TV Is this a genuine thing?
TeamRocket Posted 5 July 2016 Author Posted 5 July 2016 Thanks i used to have a Samsung before but after 2 years the picture went fuzzy and start getting dead pixel the last tv i had, had all the uhd and 4k etc and other than YouTube 4k videos and the odd bt sports i never used it at all. Mmm had a look at some reviews and thinking of getting a pansoic or LG 49 inch
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 Sony all the way. This. Just bought a Sony smart tv to replace my LG smart tv. The LG was absolutely fine but I wanted a bigger screen and when I saw that Sony had a dedicated football function, that swung it!

whoareyaaa Posted 6 July 2016 Posted 6 July 2016 Sony for me, much better build quality and picture than others mentioned.
kingcarr21 Posted 6 July 2016 Posted 6 July 2016 Panasonic is really good as is Sony. Ive got a 55" Panasonic in the bedroom and its brilliant. Absolutely takes over the room
Parafox Posted 6 July 2016 Posted 6 July 2016 We have just bought an LG 52" curved screen HD. Great picture. Good UI. Had a Samsung before and the picture quality does not match the LG. So I recommend LG
danny. Posted 6 July 2016 Posted 6 July 2016 Sony/Panasonic best picture quality, Samsung/LG best for apps (Sony's app lineup is appalling) Hard to buy a crap TV these days, they all look excellent
Bellend Sebastian Posted 6 July 2016 Posted 6 July 2016 Don't get hung up on this brand loyalty nonsense, at any one time different manufacturers have better offerings at some price points than others. Every manufacturer listed in this thread will have put their name to some shite at some point. Buy from John Lewis or Richer Sounds to get a 5/6 year warranty, and check out review sites like Trusted Reviews or What Hi-fi (yes, they do tellys as much as audio kit). Technology advances quickly so check how long a model has been out - it's very easy for the unwary to buy something that's a couple of years out of date for the same price as they could buy the current, better specced model somewhere else. 4k/UHD only really worth having on screens bigger than 40". Some current models now have 'Freetime', which basically means you can go back through the TV Guide and pick programmes from that and it will fire up the relevant catch up app, without having to go into it yourself and search for it
stix Posted 6 July 2016 Posted 6 July 2016 http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/tv-and-home-entertainment/televisions/televisions/panasonic-viera-tx-55cx400b-smart-3d-4k-ultra-hd-55-led-tv-10132386-pdt.html http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/tv-and-home-entertainment/televisions/televisions/samsung-ue50ju6400-smart-4k-ultra-hd-50-led-tv-10124843-pdt.html If you're willing to put a little bit towards it then these two are decent. I have the Samsung TV above and the picture quality is crisp and the colours vibrant. As said above you really want to go 50" minimum for 4k.
Bayfox Posted 6 July 2016 Posted 6 July 2016 I was strictly Sony or Panasonic for a few years. But currently have 2 Samsung. Have to say I'm yet to find a fault at the prices we paid. Also has a dedicated football button. Which Brightens picture which in HD mode is a bit much . Sunglasses required. OK I've just found the fault.
