I'm guessing Toshiba. -

LG too I would say and probably sharp.mk64 wrote:IanHamlett wrote:

Samsung, Sony, tosh.
Depends on your budget. Got money? Sony, want to splash out? Samsung. Affordable but good spec? Todhiba. That's how I view it. I own two Lg TVs a Tosh and a projector. Lgs were richer sound bargains as they are a client of mine so practically free.

i'd agree with those saying a 'good' 42" would be better than a cheaper 50", but i don't want to argue about best brands as i have no idea.
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!"Like i said, context is missing."

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:

Last time I checked they were £800 retail but they've might have come down a bit.Live= sgt pantyfire PSN= pantyfire -
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.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -
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:

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.

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."..the pseudo-Left new style.." -
I did some samsung TV training a few years back. The manufacturing thing is from an article I read a few years ago so there's a good chance I forgot some qualifying details."..the pseudo-Left new style.."
-
I dug out my receipt yesterday to find out which model I had, I knew all the numbers had to mean something. Now I know!
-
Yay can we have the there's no point in HD below certain screen size viewing distance viewing angle thing now. -
Seriously though I fully recommend the Sammy. I have a larger series 6 too with Bluetooth remote, voice controls and pointer. Lovely thing, also has an ir breakout which controls my TiVo which is handy when I lose the remote... Also I can fling YouTube vids at it easily and yes I think it's easier than my chromecast.
Seriously voice is a game changer. Who can remember what channel is what number?
"4 HD" and over she turns. -
On the 3 occasions à year I might use broadcast tv, I'm sure I could cope with a remote.
I'll look into Toshiba sets then. Sony and Samsung look out of what I'm willing to pay. -

Fuck, I need a bigger telly now. -
THX recommend dividing the size of the TV by 0.84 to find the right viewing distance. Or you could multiply your viewing distance by 0.84 to find the surprisingly massive TV George Lucas thinks you should watch Star Wars Ep1 on."..the pseudo-Left new style.." -
Is that screen size diagonal or plain horizontal though? That's one ill-labelled diagram.

Pretty sure you can get hdmi multi ports. Of course if they're expensive, the point is probably moot.I'm still great and you still love it. -
You can get splitters yes, I have one already, although it still leaves me with a HDMI I have to swap around.

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."..the pseudo-Left new style.."
