RedWillie Posted 27 December, 2012 Share Posted 27 December, 2012 Looking to get a new tv in the sales. I like the look of these smart tv with wifi internet, etc...I just want a good picture! Round my relatives at christmas and their sony on hd was just stunning. i,m after 40" max screen, possibly go to Sky on a mid range package. Mine is a 32" flat screen Sony about 7 yrs old and not bad it,s not brilliant. Any body recommend any packages or done similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Posted 27 December, 2012 Share Posted 27 December, 2012 If you want to go a budget route get a budget LCD and turn it into a smart tv with a media usb stick: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/android-4-0-hd-tv-media-center-stick-mini-pc-htpc-hdmi-1ghz-512-ram-4gb-up-32gb-1422100 Cheap but decent TV: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sharp-lc40sh340-40-inch-lcd-tv-1080p-full-hd-freeview-richer-sounds-229-99-1421629 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjwills Posted 27 December, 2012 Share Posted 27 December, 2012 Depends on how much you want to spend, for a 42" 3D TV with freeview HD you cant go wrong with the LG 3D TV from Richer Sounds for £499 with an extra £50 for a five year guarantee. If you do not want Freeview HD if you have sky its £399 + £40 for the guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1576 Posted 27 December, 2012 Share Posted 27 December, 2012 We have one of these in the shop advertising the S3 and have to say the picture is amazing. Bear in mind it hasn't been setup, just out of the box and on the wall. They were the best part of £2500 when they came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 28 December, 2012 Share Posted 28 December, 2012 +1 for the LG 3d tv, really impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 28 December, 2012 Share Posted 28 December, 2012 I've just been in PC World. They had Samsung 43 inch plasma ( not 3D ) for £300 and 32 LEDs going for the same price. I have the 32 inch version. Excellent "little" telly. We've got a plasma in the living room. Nice main TVs, but they can be pricier to run.

View From The Top Posted 28 December, 2012 Share Posted 28 December, 2012 I've got a 42" 1080 LG (Non Plasma) & a 42" 720 Panasonic Viera (Plasma). Both are excellent. Zulu is looking fantastic in 1080! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Saint Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 Have the Samsung, 46" 8000 series - brilliant telly. Previously had a 37" Panasonic plasma, and there is simply no comparison. Also there is almost no difference in size between the two. If you havent got a surround system ( or, if like me, the missus won't have "all those speakers cluttering up the room") get a sound bar, (Yamaha in my case) Richer sounds had some good deals, they gave us a 5 yr warranty, a free blue ray player and samsung threw in a galaxy tab 2.0.

pap Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 cheers, any opinions on these samsung smart tellies? Don't know about the smart tellies specifically, but couldn't be happier with the Samsung LED I picked up last year. Took the bugger on holiday with me ( log cabin telly was minuscule ). Biggest surprise is how much modern tellies can do. After faffing about with loads of different media player options in the past, I can just plug a USB hard drive into the telly. Plays everything I've thrown at it ( divx, avi, mp4, mkv ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 What model is that Papman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulSaint Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 I am a Technology Tutor / Setup Guy and subscribe to a TV/Home Cinema Mag. The best reviews always get awarded to the Samsungs & Sony's. I don't have time to recommend a model as there are 100's but stick with those brands and you wont go wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
