New TV

[bitchstewie]

My mum's Samsung TV has st itself.

It's a few years old so doesn't seem worth repairing given the time/cost when it seems £250-300 buys a reasonable 32" TV these days.

It would be fair to say my mum is not good with technology even to the point of remote controls.

It would also be nice to get something that has things like iPlayer and maybe some other "on demand" apps inbuilt.

I suspect pretty much anything will do those things, but given the above, any suggestions please?

We have one of these in the spare room, it's pretty good. The catch up functions & wifi work better than our main telly. My only complaint is the sound is a little weedy.

Thank you, anyone have any other recommendations? I'm out of touch with TVs but at some point I'll be replacing mine and as I watch everything either on computer or via Sky I'm clueless with what's built into TV's these days.

Freeview Play seems a must-have and then it looks like it comes down to the individual TVs how good/bad they are?

This seems pretty decent (possible spec overkill though ), Samsung's user interface is good and 5 year guarantee is handy

We ended up getting here one of these:

She didn't want bigger than a 32" and honestly this was surrounded by Samsung's and Sony's and they all looked processed to hell on FreeView which is what she uses it with.

£199 price matched to Curry's Black Friday.

Built in apps are basic but there's iPlayer for her - I'm shocked just how good the picture is off an aerial.
