another what tv
Discussion
Well i have a 40" old sony bravia, been brilliant, got it probably 20 years ago, thinking of a new onw but dont want to spent like i did then, it was expensive, over a 1k. And tvs surely have got cheaper for the same now, im not fussed about the latest and greatest, and have surround amp, so sound isnt a prob, but it in its day was quite a high end tv, so dont want to go back, but hoping things have moved so that isnt an issue, budget is aroung 500 but can go higher, but cheaper would be better.
Main use if via a firestick nowdays, abit bigger would be good, as it has a bezel, and new ones dont seem to, so maybe 42" or 48 maybe, dont want too big, ive heard lg are good, but im out of touch , so what do i look for?

Best advice is to go to Richer Sounds, Currys etc and see the TV's for yourself. They're all much of a muchness ... there are fans of each brand. OLED is the best current technology, most over 40" are now 4K (some even 8K which is a waste of time) although not much options at 40" so bigger is better.

Have a look at their clearance stuff. I picked up a 32" for the kitchen <200 last year and just bought a 43" 4K Phillips still listed at £400 for £220 to go in the bedroom.richhead said:

Inflation is the biggest difference. Your Sony TV would be over £2k today. Which is what you'd pay for the top TVs today.TEKNOPUG said:

Spent the money booking a weekend away with the gf instead, tv will probably go wrong now lol
