A REALLY MASSIVE TELEVISION...

[Sterillium]

A REALLY MASSIVE TELEVISION... is what I don't want.

But what I do want is something around the 40" mark, that is good, reliable, clear and has the smallest possible "border" around the screen.

Possibly buying several at once, so something around the £300 mark would be perfect.

Television recommendations very welcome...

Well at 40" you haven't got a lot of choice but 43" gives you a lot more:

Any particular requirements? 4K? HDR?

43" is probably OK, I just don't want to go too big... Needs to be HD, but HDR and 4K I'm not sure, because I have no clue what they are...

Some ladies on a hen night beat me up and stole it from me around Christmas.

It was probably more of a 'man bag'

But it went so well with my shoes...

What are you going to use them for? What are you displaying?

[Lazadude]

OLED 55, that's the "small" awesome TV of choice.

Others are the 65 and 77

Erm... they'll be used as TVs, displaying TV channels... job lot going into more than one building.

This may be controversial but I always thought large televisions were a bit chavy, or to use the common PH vernacular, "council". I recently replaced an old 40" set with a large border for a modern 40" which was smaller overall. I regretted not getting a 43", and now we are in the market for a 50"; bigger is better (up to a point!).

Is this a consumer purchase or a business one? If it's business get in touch with Richer Sounds Corporate Sales department & see what deals they can do. Don't forget the warranty.

Can someone explain why having a large tv is a bit council? I have a 75’, 65’ and a 47’. When I bought the 75’, I would rather have got the 85’ but I think the mrs would have had an even bigger fit.

It depends on the size of room you have & whether you’ve gone for size over quality.

Cheap large TV in a small room = council
However, large OLED in dedicated cinema room = not so much

I got 65".

I wish my wall was bigger.
Then again I used to run a projector so they all seem small

That makes sense. The OLED is in my cinema room. The 75’ is for general watching but it’s on the middle of a 7 metre wall. There is a lot of real estate either side of it. The 47’ is the bedroom tv.

So... Ambilight...?

I made the mistake of showing one of these to my other half, now that's what she wants. Is it good, or a crap gimmick?

[aquarianone]

You could buy a USB light strip thingy of Amazon for <£20 which will do a somewhat similar job...

I've got two on the back of 65" tv and it does a decent enough job for the price.

There's also the Philips Strip lights which cost a few more ££ which can synch with your "entertainment " area...

Or..you can buy a whole new telly

God, when we got a 26 inch colour CRT set back in 1977 we thought we were the bee's pyjamas.

I see no reason to get anything bigger than my 42 inch, it fits my small living room perfectly, viewing it from
8 feet away the clarity and sound are ideal.
