regemond Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I know you meant that as a pisstake re the X, but between having a place I'm comfortably making my own, sorting myself a decent little social life (man date to see a film last week and a couple of... Ermmmmm... Rendezvous'... With a friend), and trying to sort myself a good routine, I'm totally inclined to agree. Life is getting good right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Was thinking of getting a 4K tv, the price on these are now in line with normal tv’s spotted this at John Lewis...thoughts? Is a bargain tv too much of a bargain for a reason? https://www.johnlewis.com/lg-49um7400plb-2019-led-hdr-4k-ultra-hd-smart-tv-49-inch-with-freeview-play-freesat-hd-ultra-hd-certified-dark-iron-grey/p4125343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinymcshine Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 It does only have 3x HDMI slots though ! My 8 yr old TV has 4 and I still find myself switching cables for various consoles, Chromecast, Sky TV, Blu-ray player etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 My current one has 3, TiVo in one, Xbox in the other and switch or PS4 uses the other. I won’t (don’t quote me) be going multiformat next gen, currently planning on sticking to Xbox for future gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Just buy a hdmi switcher. My TV only has two HDMI and one of those is the arc return for the amp so. I've effectively got one. Hdmi switch can take in 3 HDMI inputs and auto switches depending on what is turned on.

DANGERMAN Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 @Manicm I've got an LG, it's great for apps. You'd think all tvs more or less have the same but quite a few don't have amazon or don't support 4k hdr through the apps. The LG ones have amazon hdr and 4k, can do Netflix, YouTube, iplayer, itv (but why?), Nowtv, uktvplay etc. Google the model number and make sure its true hdr (mine isn't ?) and check the refresh rate, I think 5ms or under is what you're after, then put your consoles on an av channel set to game mode to reduce lag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Didn’t get it in the end, in John Lewis it looked a tad disappointing but it was sat next to a Samsung OLED 55” which my OH decided we needed that one, going to wait for the jan sales see if I can get it a bit cheaper as wasn’t going to spend £900 on a tv, I did that back in the Xbox 360 days and won’t be doing that again as the tech trickles down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hendo Posted December 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2019 Got this as it was on sale. Ambilight is impressive and you can set to be quite extreme or subtle. Also, whether it’s affected by the video, the audio or a fixed colour in the background. It’s very reflective though, and the sun was shining right through my living room. The front door is there as well with two windows in the door and closing the blinds wasn’t enough, so I had to go out and buy some poles and blackout curtains. This is taken before I got the curtains up: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Not a lot I can do for the time being. The wooden cabinets behind are where the electric meter is so I need to be able to move the whole stand out so they can get in. Everything’s temporary at the moment until after I get the walls replastered and decorated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Finally gone 4K! Tv should be arriving Sunday, all this talk of ps5 and xb series x, have to get ready... Tempted to get a pro or x but probably not worth it this late in the generation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I really don’t want both tbh, but again there’s games on both, so will probably end up with both, luckily I have an Xbox one s which can upscale so hoping to see a difference with that first. This is what I went for: https://www.richersounds.com/tv-projectors/samsung-ue55tu8500.html Game mode, 3 HDMI and the fact it sits on my existing stand, that was crucial as the stands cost more than the tv’s these days! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Very nice @Manicm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Looking good @Manicm! My mum has basically that same model but 40 or 43” I forget which. Looks really good, upscale as Hd images nicely and HDR & Dolby Vision both look great. One S has a 4K Blu ray player does it not? I’d get at least 1 Blu ray just to really see the difference. If you like Marvel, Thor Ragnarok, Avengers infinity War or Guardians of the Galaxy 2 are incredible showcases. Dolby Vision films through Apple TV function look great too, but the Blu Rays definitely have a edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Give Facebook Marketplace a go @Snaggletooth if you've got it. Sold my PSVR and Xbox on there a few months back without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 As the PS5 release date draws near, I gave this TV link (I think Blakey shared it?) another look. I was considering going for another Sony Bravia, at first. As that was the previous TV I had, back in 2016. But from the link, I think I'll go for one of the Samsung TU8000's. 1. Because I don't want an enormous screen. Even 43'' seems big, but that is the smallest now apparently. 2. I will never spend four figures on a TV. Not worth that level of investment in my eyes. £300-500 is about the ballpark I would equate a TV too. I'll wait a little while longer though. I have decorating to finish first. By which point I'll have a better idea where my TV & PS5 is even going to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 On 13/10/2020 at 21:45, OCH said: Even 43'' seems big, Turns out... IT IS? Not having a TV for a good few years, I thought to place it on the biggest flat surface I've got. This is attempt number one. As my shelf isn't big enough. The only other option I have is a north facing window sill. Looks like it is going there for now... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I was mainly looking at the Berserk books to offer some advice, I got a free standing tv stand thing for mine. It's not quite as tall as I'd like, but it does the job https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M0ILTFC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
