[caledonia]

Time to get a new telly and was looking at this (will price match with JL as they give 5 year warranty)

firstly what do you think or what other one would you go for.

[Pudgie]

Meh. It's just a telly really. You'll get bored of it and upgrade before you actually need a new een so just go with what you think looks bonniest.

Reason i have to upgrade is i am splitting a room and thought move my living room 42" unbranded to bedroom and move my bedroom unbranded into other half of split room

saves buying another tv for split bedroom and gives me the chance for a 3d one

 

not so sure about this smart ones as i can see it being used for youtube/facebook and fights about wanting to watch telly

anyway laptops and desktops are for that sort of stuff

I wasn't meaning to offend with the upgrade remark, just saying that there's new stuff coming all the time and there really isn't that much difference in the top brands. Certainly nothing that normal viewers will see a big difference in.

 

It wouldn't hurt to have that extra functions though. You'll have the phones, laptops, tablets etc. I think you can watch streams online with the Smart TV's but I wouldn't take that as gospel. I think all top range tellys have Smart capability anyway.

If you're looking at spending 6/700 quid on a new telly get yourself out to Costco. I saved 500 on the same TV I had on order from John Lewis (1300 got it for 800, 51" Samsung) which jl would not price match. Also a 5 year no quibble refund or replace guarantee should anything go wrong with it.

I notice the one in the link isn't Wi-Fi built in and you need to spend a bit more on the adaptor.

3D = waste of time.

Spend the same money on a top drawer HD tv, without the 3D.

 

(I've got a 3D tv byraway, but it's nothing more than a gimmick).

I love my 3d. Some films are not enhanced by it obviously but there are films which without a doubt were made to be enjoyed in it.

Panasonic Viera is the answer. Forget others.

I'm with Craighill on this one. I've had mine on no more than 5 times, and 3 of them were just to show my mates.

You should get some more mates.

 

[daytripping]

I've got a 3D telly, waste of time, only used it a couple times and was not impressed, give it 10 years and it will.

 

Out of my tellies I actually prefer the Tesco own brand one to my Samsung, I'm no guru but getting HD on your set top is more important than the tv I think, football on HD is a lot better.

I've got plenty mates. I just had them all round at the same time.

 

 

5's plenty... right?

[King Street Loon]

Groupon had a 3D Smart TV on offer yesterday.

Samsung I think it was.

[Huntlysheep]

I've a Samsung 37" nae 3D but it's arite like nothing special tv's a tv really cost

I wouldn't recommend LG

I got the 42" version about 8 months ago.

I'm not overly impressed.

Quite often on HD channels the mouth and sound are not in synch, and I've got a regular problem with a slightly fuzzy picture.

3D is also not going to catch on IMO.

I'd recommend spending another £150 or so and go for a Panasonic.

If you have a TV for anything up to 10 years, it's only working out at another £15 a year.

Just my opinion though.

My old LG lost picture all together all you were getting was spiken o the programme it wis on.

[jassb]

I've only ever bought Sony TVs. Oh, apart from a Samsung in my bedroom. It's pish. Never been let down by Sony. I'm usually up for new things but not really interested in 3D yet, and everyone has confirmed there's not much point. Never even seen a 3D film at the pictures, so maybe i cant comment on it. Not convinced by Smart TVs yet either. Think it's just a gimmick to try to get us all to replace our dumb TVs that only show hundreds of channels. TVs are for watching TV. If I really want to use the internet or Skype, ill use my laptop and can still have the TV on in the background. For

Thought this thread was going to be about how the OP has taken to wearing women's clothes.

[Bluto10]

Its all about size, just get the biggest your living can physically accomadate

 

And the more expensive the better

Furthermore, hiring some monkey to come around and install it so you can spend precious time in the cruiser presumably?

[Bluto10]

Don't see why not.

 

That said a massive stand twinned with an enormous set would finish off the most elegant of rooms - and no installation required

[sheepiekev]

I don't fancy 3D either. Too gimmicky and needing 3D glasses is a downfall. I wear specs on occasion anyway and wouldn't fancy 3D glasses on top.

 

Weird about the sound and mouth not matching. Sounds an obvious question but are you sure it's the telly that's the problem and not the Sky box?

 

I've had an LG for almost 5 years. Great telly but it's beginning to lose picture quality with a couple of faint lines appearing every now and again.

 

I'll be paying attention to this thread as I'll be getting a new one when it gets bad enough to be annoying.

 

I have to go in and do a "factory reset" and the mouth then synchs with the sound.

I might sell the TV, but would take a hit on the price paid only 8 months ago.

As for 3D, I don't like it after a while - it's hard to watch 90 minutes of football with the specs on.

Don't see it becoming the norm.

With hindsight, I'd rather have spent more an an non 3D Panasonic gone for the better quality TV for HD.

My folks have a 42" Panasonic and the picture quality is excellent.

I'm a bit peed off about it as a few reviews I read, on techradar etc said I was buying a highly recommended TV.

What size is your telly Bluto?

[daytripping]

I realise I've left Harcus with an open goal there, or at least a free run on goal and Langfield is between the sticks.

[caledonia]

hmm i thought the 3d looked good when i tried it out in a shop and i agree on most sites the Panasonic is mentioned time and again.

 

Only some of the unbranded ones are half the price with not to much difference (well not half anyway)

the one i have just now 42" from ebuyer full hd has a great picture better than the smaller samsung i have

 

As for the smart functions like facebook/youtube/lovefilm etc i am not to sure about this as its going to cause arguments (ie some fucker on facebook when you want to watch the footie etc)

 

only linked the first one as it was listed as a deal but not 100% convinced on LG either now.

wont be ready anyway till a good few weeks so have plenty of time to choose

thanks to all that replied

[Bluto10]

What size is your telly Bluto?
