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

        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.

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