My boss bought me a new TV, 55" Samsung Crystal UHD CU8000 as it was cheaper to buy one than rent one for a corporate event at London Excel. After the event he told me to keep it.

I have enjoyed the TV, the picture quality is super clear and the size was great. However, I was moving it last month for a Halloween party and dropped it. I cracked the screen and it is wrecked.

I am debating to buy another of the same, but recall that this one did not have a freeview or freesat tuner built in. At this price point, is there an alternative that has this built in? I am keen to stick with Samsung and it has been so long since i bought a tv that I dont know if built in freesat/freeview is even a thing anymore.

Can anyone help please?

If anyone wants my old damaged screen please let me know.

That TV does have a Freeview tuner built in. Samsungs don't tend to come with Freesat. LG's often do come with Freesat tuners.

Just go with the latest Samsung. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7483431?clickCSR=s...

Panasonic themselves direct have a OLED TV on offer I think for 699 currently - 50inch.

Fantastic to deal with and they price match.
