I need a new tellybox

4K TVs are pointless, unless you have a big screen and sit a long way from it.

But you can't get anything else unless you get something really tulip..

HWMBO has advised me to ignore all you lot and just get a cheap as chips TV that has a good picture. I should forget the smart side of it as that will become obsolete long before the TV wears out and it'll be cheaper to add on the functionality (e.g. with a firestick) and replace that when necessary.

Still no closer to actually getting a new tellybox

See my post number #18 on this thread about Smart TVs.

A couple of other posters backed me up so some of us on this thread aren't talking tulip but from experience.

Oh I think all my TVs are from Amazon. So I didn't have to deal with getting them home and could easily complain if they arrived damaged. What the manufacturers do is slightly change the model number so you can't buy the exactly the same model number in Amazon, JL, Curry's, Sainsburys, etc and do a proper price comparison.

We're contractors and therefore all incredibly rich tax avoiding bastards.

Also you don't need to heat the room with a plasma telly in it - just turn it on for 5 minutes.
