bissellredhead Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Looking at getting a new tv, budget is a maximum of £400. Had a brief look in Currys today and was told that sony or Samsung are the best ones to go for. A few out of our budget unfortunately. Is it worth hanging on for the bank holiday sale? Or even black Friday? Looking for 4k hd smart tv around 43" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuned in to my WiFi but entering the password is a bit laborious but I guess it would be any new smart tv. No idea what k it is tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is, nearly all sky sports main events are (football, cricket, F1) and BBC do 4K iPlayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markman Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I looked a year ago - tried a few and ended up with one of the cheapest Blaupunkt - great TV, dead cheap lovely picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I like Richer Sounds or John Lewis for TV's... Both do exceptional free extended warranties' 5/6 years.. (one tv I had for three and a half years developed a non viable repair problem - John Lewis refunded in full, prompt, no nonsense, & excellent service … they also price matched no quibble the initial purchase when I noticed a short while later that Richer Sounds were offering the same tv £50 cheaper. Good experiences with both companies.. Also, bought an LG smart 43inch 4k ready set last year for about £430... asked if it would be cheaper if I waited for Black Friday, they said if price drops they would honour B Friday price.. It did and R Sounds refunded difference (about £40) no problem) Plus the staff know their subject, unlike some of the floor staff in some pkaces .

Netflix, iPlayer and Sky all do a decent amount of 4K content now, certainly enough to make it worth getting a TV capable of showing it. It'll become the normal way to watch TV in the next 2-3 years.

richwwtk Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 This looks very good value, no idea about that particular site though.... http://cpc.farnell.com/lg/43uj630v/43-smart-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-led-tv/dp/AV27221?mckv=sFc4S7O2v_dc|pcrid|224689185316|kword||match||plid||slid||product|AV27221|pgrid|48694575284|ptaid|pla-440750888861|&CMP=KNC-GUK-CPC-SHOPPING&gclid=CjwKCAjw2MTbBRASEiwAdYIpsYlI-ymr6BcGXCyBeu7EnGqALP-nFCtu-2oqPCK_Ke3RH4SkXoitphoC0NcQAvD_BwE LG are just as good as Samsung, I believe one makes TVs for the other and they just rebadge, though I can't remember which way round it is.

Guest Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 What I will say about 4K is you need 55-60” screen to really get the best out of it. If you’ve got a 40” 1080P and to get a similar sized 4K you really won’t see that much difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for 4k hd smart tv around 43" Bought the Panasonic 43 4K prior to world cup Thought the picture sharper than the Samsung which is what I had in my mind Bith around the same price (Just over £400 at John Lewis , Richer Sounds) Delighted with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
