I got it through a friend of a friend that was leaving Sony so she gave my friend her company discount store log in. We got one each.adored wrote:We still don't seem to have got me this 50" sorted...pantyfire wrote:I got the 50" 3D version of that tv recently for the same price (Sony discount thing) and it's amazeballs.Stopharage wrote:I've got the Sony KDL42W705B. £429 with a 5 year guarantee at Richer Sounds.

After they bought out Sony's half of the fabrication plant they shared, I think that left them as the only TV brand that could actually fabricate a TV without buying components off someone else. Everyone still buys panels off each other though. Apart from Samsung and LG, they hate each other right now for some reason.mk64 wrote:LolIanHamlett wrote:They make most of the best TVs.

They haven't been bad for a long time. I think the most colour accurate TV straight out of the box has been an LG for the past few years. Their OLED is outstanding.hylian_elf wrote:When did LG become good? I remember them being laughably bad about a decade ago. Really poor washed out picture quality and break down easily.
IIRC the first couple of numbers is the size of the TV in inches, the letter is the year and then it's the model. 4000 is "HD Ready" budget stuff, 5000 is the best non-smart. 5500 is when they become smart. 6000 they are self-aware. Above that they get shit like micro-dimming and four-stage up-resing chicanery.Skerret wrote:I think so yer, series 6. The H series is the budget line, F is the standard from 6 and unno what is for 7.

however how far you sit from the screen is an important consideration as to what is the optimum screen size for you...
try something like this:

to be fair, i saw others that had the optimum distances closer than that site shows, but they seemed off from my own experience and i'd probably trust something like 'which' over random sites trying to sell bigger screens...however i'm sure someone like MK might know the actual truth!
Can you tell me how people are getting brand new ipads for £30 with this weird online trick?IanHamlett wrote:I've got a 3to1 HDMI auto switch for £7.99. I'd rather have ports on the TV but I've got kickass input lag and the set cost me £80 for 40in. I got lucky. I didn't fancy paying 4x more for an extra port.
