samjp26 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Apart from Richer Sounds where else is there to get decent prices on TVs? I was looking for a cheap LED TV for my daughters bedroom and ended up looking at Argos, Currys & RS which was a tad dissapointing. Always worth popping into a Currys store to see if they have any returned or ex-display models. Sometimes they don't have their original box but they knock off a fair bit.

Nath182 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Think I've all but decided on the Sony Bravia KDL42W7 from John Lewis. Got great reviews and looks really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Well since our main TV Philipps 42 inch gave up the ghost last night and its about 9 years old I have had to source one quickly and have gone for a LG-49LB550. Not 3D, not Smart as I have a PC connected to it but because of the size of the TV it is replacing it needed to be this big so it didnt look stupid on the wall. Typically I cannot find anything about the TV which is a little worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 After looking around for deals on TV's I've narrowed it down to 2! LG - http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-42LN570V-42-inch-Widescreen-Freeview/dp/B00BS55OMA? Panasonic - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-TX-42A400B-42-inch-Widescreen-Freeview/dp/B00IOQ5XC2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Both 42" 1080p. Panasonic TV is £20 extra. Not fussed on the Smart TV to be honest - or should I be? Regardless, any opinions on which is better? Currently only have a Samsung 32". Getting old now!

mykeyb Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 The LG TV I ordered arrived yesterday model lg-49LB550. As I had said cannot find any info on this set at all even the manual supplied doesn't mention the model no of my TV on it. Unpacked it and was surprised to find it has a satelitte input on the back and the option in the menu for satelitte tuning. Now as I don't have a spare cable at the moment I haven't tried tuning it but will test it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath182 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The Sony TV is coming tomorrow, really excited! Also, as John Lewis managed to make a meal of delivery and I sent them a nice email complaining about it and they're sending me £40 in gift vouchers which I thought was quite cool.

MCU Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Nath, what persuaded you to Sony? I'm still spending hours on end looking through the internet at TV's for prices, reviews etc. Still can't make my mind up! All I know is I want a 42" 1080p.

jim Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 For the money the Sony W7 and W8 range beat most other brands out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry only just saw your post mate, from the research I've done (mainly reading AVForums) it appears that it's the best TV for what I want it for (sports and gaming) due to the really low motion blur. As I wasn't arsed about 3D but did want a smart TV this was the obvious choice. What will you be using it for mainly and are you bothered about 3D, Smart etc?

MCU Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sports and gaming eventually when I get a new console. Not too bothered about Smart TV as I have a computer and Sky+ box which can do everything I want them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nath182 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Looks good for the price mate! If John Lewis mess you about with the delivery then you should definitely complain, could get yourself some free gift vouchers like I did Set mine up last night and I couldn't recommend it enough. I'm really impressed with it, although granted it probably doesn't take much to impress an AV simpleton like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Curved TV's? Yes or no? Can't decide if I like them or not... No from me. Poor viewing angles unless you are in the sweet spot plus you need 55" + to achieve the immersive effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
