The new TV thread

[Trainerbrow]

Picked up this LG 65NANO81T6A for a bargain price of £430, couldn’t not at that price.

Where did you snag it from at that price?

LG direct, was on offer @ £549 and I had access to a 20% off code.

Finally bit the bullet today.

After watching a few reviews and not being any sort of videophile I thought the best option was budget 65" OLED.

Went for the Panasonic TX-65MZ800B, at £999 significantly cheaper than the LG B3 I was looking at.

Then went for the Polk react soundbar that will tie me over for now, I'll replace that in the living room in the sales and move it into the office to replace the faulty Onkyo that I never got round to seeing why the speakers keep cutting out.

Bought our Samsung TV last year (Q80BA 65”) and been a good buy for the price. Sound on the TV was pretty good but always been after a sound bar.

Picked up this Bose setup from Currys at the weekend - first time using surround sound and what a difference. Initially had it connected via bluetooth until I discovered HDMI (eARC), night and day.

Setup is Smart Soundbar 600, Base Module 500 & 2x Surround Speakers.

Somehow convinced the Mrs we need a new TV, specifically OLED... Chucked a load of technical made up stats/words until she caved and said yes.

I plan on playing my Xbox series X on it and the obvious LG C3 comes up a lot. As the C4 is now out, I am hoping to grab a C3 77" for a decent price but they are all over the place for my quick searches... Anyone able to give me a decent price point to aim for or know where the best place and time to look/hold out until?

Parents are needing a new and first smart tv, been onto them about the LG C3 too, didn’t know about the release of C4. What are the differences if any? If can get the C3 really good price get that if it’s same sort of money as C4 may get C4

Yes

I've got proper TV envy, but when my 2 year old smears his jammy hands all over the screen, it makes me think twice about properly upgrading as I've got the wife agreeing our cheapo Samsung is sufficient but dark scenes look horrific with ghosting etc

Why sacrifice poor viewing over that reason?

We’ve never had any issues with young kids and TV’s. Also having a glass screen it wipes clean easily. Projectiles however are to be tested. But we have accidental insurance on it so no worries if it does break.

He’s currently pushing boundaries, so will sometimes give the TV a bit of a hit. I’ll probably upgrade it when he’s a year or 2 older.

In the mean time, I’ll just dream of inky blacks 😂

Contemplating buying a bedroom tv but not looking to spend a great deal as won't get used that much.

50"
Max of £300

Anyone got a recommendation?

What's the best 55" TV out there? Specifically interesting in gaming... I've got a decent one at the moment, the second highest spec'd LG but from 2020 - Can't remember the model now, C1 or something?

Is it worth waiting for the 2025 ones to come out? To be honest I'm thinking probably not as I'm trying to bag a bargain.

You have a 55 C1 already?

I have a 55 C1 from 2020 too, I was looking at changing to a C4, I also want to upsize to 65 too though. I did come to the conclusion it's not really any better, a bit brighter but that's all. Def not worth an upgrade if you are getting the same size.

The G series is supposed to be quite the step up, brighter and better motion, but again, probably not worth an upgrade in the same size.

Regarding bargains, I think best deal in the LG trade in an old TV for £200, some people have got richer sounds to price match too on HUKD

No sorry, I have 48" at the moment. It's a bit small for me really... basically my wife maybe leaving her job at John Lewis soon so want to use her discount before she hands her notice in lol. I could just about fit a 65" on our main wall but it'd leave about 1mm either side which I think would look a bit silly!

I have a G3, if I was after a new one now it'd have to be a G5.

I'd probably take a G4 if it was a steal though.
