Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostOur last two have been smart. I can cast from laptop and phone to the TV, which is occasionally useful. I can start a youtube video on a laptop or phone, then have the TV youtube app take over. The main benefit IMO, is that you connect to streaming services directly. I can also install a VPN on the TV which means I can watch Netflix UK, for example. Or BBC iplayer...Leave a comment:

Originally posted by Scruff View PostI went to buy a Samsung QLED telly. Ran the "thinness" and viewing tests, and came out with LG OLED.
The OLED's do have a better viewing angle and are extremely thin, however they do carry a price-premium. They LG WebOS is very good and easy to use.
At the end of the day, you get used to watching whatever it is that you are watching...Leave a comment:

Bought a Sharp 40" smart tv from Lidl.
It even had a satellite tuner built in.
It had a lovely picture for the five minutes it stayed up before rebooting.
It's the 2nd time I've taken a tv back to the shop within a couple of days of buying it.
The first one was a Bush 22" ctv that lasted a whole 10 minutes before dying way back in 1980.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostI wouldn't go out of my way to buy a SMART TV but if the other specs of the TV match what you want/need then buy it. This is because you risk the apps being obsolete before the TV breaks down plus you may want apps the manufacturer doesn't have. I have a SMART TV where the apps were mostly obsolete 3.5 years after I got it. I now have a Roku stick stuck into the back of it like I also have on my main TV.
Main TV is a Samsung.Leave a comment:

Another vote for Samsung here. I like the LG products but have had quite a few of them ( TV, Hifi etc) stop working almost as soon as the product guarantee expiredLeave a comment:

Originally posted by ladymuck View PostMy current one is still working so no immediate rush. However, knowing that it took me a good year of saying "I should get a new monitor" before I finally made a decision, I really should put some effort into finding a new telly as this was triggered by Windoze pushing a huge update last night and me having to remember the custom scaling I had to do to get the bloody desktop to sit right on the screen.
Having done some digging it seems my Samsumg is about 10-11 years old, so it's had a good innings.
Currently I have a 40" LCD and I don't want to go bigger than 50". I don't have a need for anything bigger.Leave a comment:
