Good afternoon all. I’m new here and looking for some advice on buying a new TV.
We’re looking to replace our old LCD, a 32” Samsung of about 10 years old. It still gives a decent picture, but we want slightly bigger and something with newer, better technology for a better picture.
Size wise, something in the 40”+ category is ideal, 50” would probably be too large.
We have no interest whatsoever in 3D capability. We never will.
We also don’t need ‘Smart’ TV functionality as we have TiVo with Netflix and I have no need to browse Facebook on my TV. However, I appreciate that most new TVs seem to be ‘Smart’, so if buying a Smart TV gets us a better quality or better specification of TV then we’ll look at that.
With regard to our viewing habits we tend to watch your typical popular series (House of Cards, Game of Thrones, etc.) and films. I watch a bit of Sport now and again but I wouldn’t say I’m an avid viewer. I have an Xbox 360 and play occasionally.
We do need the TV to have sound. Doesn’t have to be anything special but we aren’t going to be getting a soundbar or anything like that.
Budget; under £500.
