davey_83 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) So after 6 years almost exactly, our trusty LG 50PK590 has decided to randomly turn itself off, wait and can be turned back on but then after a few minutes off again. This weekend I'm going to buy it's replacement and another 50' unit. Any recommendations? not overly interested in voice control, hand gestures, webcam and doesn't need to have the best operating system or apps as il be using the Amazon fire stick anyways. Budget £500-£600 Bye bye PK590....... Edited October 11, 2017 by davey_83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veeg33 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) I've been looking at these Hisense for some time, seems like a good buy. Picture quality was pretty good and sharp when i view them in store, but not sure about reliability as they are not in the market for over 10 years i think. http://ao.com/product/h50n5900-hisense-tv-silver-49755-108.aspx They are pretty cheap for the spec they offer. With lots of spare £££ left. However, i always go for Samsung =) http://ao.com/product/ue50mu6120-samsung-tv-black-50970-108.aspx with £1 spare to spend on your zed Edited October 12, 2017 by veeg33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hisense are cheap for a reason... But then I won't say I've not considered them myself too. Like Veeg though, I always default to a Samsung screen. They're generally the best out there for my purposes, well set up and well made with good opportunities to adjust the picture for the best visual definition. That said, and I've said this before on here, you need to go try some models out first hand. Pop to Currys or wherever nice and early, take your favourite BD or Xbox game with you, and compare them across multiple screens. Of course they'll all be setup for that super-contrast nuclear winter demo modes, but you can still get a good idea on what works and what doesn't. What is good for one person's eye may well be crap for another, so use your own to decide as ultimately you're the one who's going to be watching stuff on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350_Jer Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Argos clearance section on their website usually comes up with some good TV deals if you're not after the very latest tech, got a really good deal on my 55" Samsung as there was a new model of it that had just come out. Click and collect from your local store too which is handy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPod Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Check out hotukdeals each day till a nice TV appears that's what I'm doing. This is a nice LG https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-55uj635v-led-hdr-4k-ultra-hd-smart-tv-55-599-delivered-with-5-year-warranty-john-lewis-2809549 I'm currently wanting that lg oled 55" it's £400 off for a grand total of £1600 but then again that could be a new set of wheels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Cheers all, will have a good look about and see what's what tomorrow. Don't fancy a new brand telly and will most likely settle on an LG, Samsung or Sony unit. Not much content out there from what I gather, but 4k seems like a no brainstorm if costs aren't too much.

OLED give by far the best picture quality purely because blacks actually look black rather than dull grey etc. I love our LG OLED panel, picked it up for £1400 a few months ago, beats the even the Kuro panel I had for a while. Just seen this deal, £1200!! https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/lg-55-full-hd-oled-smart-tv?deal_option=918dbd07-3776-4c74-85b8-84e45a7a2cee&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=uk_dt_sea_ggl_txt_tim_pads_cbp_chp_nbr_target*_adposition*1o8_prodtarget*266080568135_adtype*pla_productpartitionid*266080568135_campaignid*687507726_adgroupid*40690311562&mr:referralID=63fceebe-b0ab-11e7-983e-005056946dac&gclid=CjwKCAjwyIHPBRAIEiwAHPS-GNynpyQFOgyM14r6jc3z5-06RPT90U7qyAzE3SUBFwpAxQACkvk7PRoCni8QAvD_BwE Edited October 14, 2017 by gangzoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Went for a Samsung 50' MU6100 from Electronic World TV. Was hoping to buy from Richer Sounds with their extended warranty, however only their Bristol branch had stock *collection only. So far has its pros and cons against the old plasma, but happy with the purchase. Plasma has better skin tones and I think a glass screen looks nicer. The LED unit wins everywhere else, processing power is fantastic compared, upscaling works really well with 1080p, kinda like 1080p+. The smart remote will take some getting used to mind, but all in good time I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
