£500 - New TV - No idea where to start
Discussion
Morning PH collective.
My current TV (an LG one I bought in 2012 before the Euro's) has got a load of small black lines across it. I've turned it off and on again and they're still there. I assume this means it's knackered.
As such, I think I need a new TV.
I've got about £500 to spend. I don't want anything massive (50" is probably too big, but everything seems to be that size these days, so I'll probably go with it) and it will be used to watch nonsense on the Discovery channel, SD on Sky Sports and whatever the missus has on in the background when she's working from home/playing on her phone and the month or two in winter that I play on the PS4. I'm too tight to pay for an HD Sky subscription so not bothered about super mega 4K HD as I have no device that plays it.
I know next to nothing about TV's. Is this a good deal from Costco or is there anything else I should get that can be available on Amazon Prime?

I can probably live with it for the next 48 hours, but want to get something sorted by the weekend ideally.

Thanks for the responses.
Went to Richer Sounds. Didn't have anything less than £600. Said that was more than I wanted to spend, he recommended not spending less, I thanked him for his time and walked out.
Went to John Lewis, asked to buy the LG on the wall, they didn't have it in stock. Bought a Samsung that was a shop return. Got it home and it's got a black mark on the screen (about 10mm long, 2 wide, top right quarter of the screen). Taking it back tonight for a refund/buy a new one as a replacement.
Fingers crossed the next one works well enough.
