The new TV thread

Do your parents really need a C model? :unsure:

Would a B4 or B5 not be more than good enough and also cheaper?

I'm still rocking a 55" BX that's now 4+ years old and still looks & performs great, I have my Xbox Series X hooked up to it, which is why I got the TV originally, no plans to upgrade until it dies.

Do they really need OLED?

Sure it’s nice to have but I bet my parents wouldn’t notice the difference in quality between equivalent priced TV’s with different panels. They’d be more interested in how easy the UI is to navigate rather than picture quality.

Well yeah, I was also going to say that LOL.

I literally had this conversation with my MIL last night as she wants a new TV and when pushed as to what she actually wants, it's mostly watching regular SD TV and iPlayer catch-up stuff, so an OLED is massive overkill.

The MiL has an OLED but it’s now fucked due to watching good morning Britain on it all the time as that is now permanently etched into the screen along with a massive patch in the middle (probably from the presenters head) which has caused discolouration.

Yeah new ones have better screen burn protection but they aren’t flawless but it’s something else to consider.

“Can I still get Emmerdale..?” Is likely to be the top question from mine 🙄

Yeah OLED burn in is still something I'd be worried about for people who aren't aware of the issue, my Dad watches the news a lot, same risk.

Yeah good idea about giving them a call like, and your probs right it might be a bit overkill the C5 for what they watch

need some help with the new LG C5 tv, I'm new to smart tv's too. I've tuned in the programmes but there's still a lot still missing, my Mam mentions Channel 39 like DMAX it's not on there and many others. it's got my geographical area set, it's set at Antenna only. i've looked at a couple videos on youtube but can't find a one that deals my situation

Tune it again, if there's programs missing then adjust the ariel or get a booster and or better ariel.

the thing is , the channels were there on the old tv and also got a tv recorder box with freeview built in and there's lots more channels on there. But not on the tv itself. I've retuned it and still the same, i'll have another go tomorrow. it's strange if it's down to the ariel

That's how it can be sometimes I'm afraid.

LG can be peculiar about things. For instance my C10 doesn’t and cannot have the channel 4 app whereas my old E7 and C11 both have it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That was a separate issue where they didn't pay the license in time or something daft like that.

You should also find it's now available to install at last:)

@Geddes if it worked on the TV box just plug that in and use it if it is there?

I think Sky had a lot more free channels than what I get now but tbh, I hardly watch TV. I haven't even got the LG linked to an aerial, it's all on the BT box which is pretty shite.
