55 inch TV with Freesat and separate plug in DVD player
Discussion
Hi
We have recently moved into a bungalow with a huge lounge so want to get a larger TV. These 2 are in our price range but could someone help me identify what the difference is between them aside from 50 quid? (I am really not up on this stuff).

Alternatively if any of you folks could recommend any good alternatives in this price range, I'd be grateful.
Secondly we want to get a small DVD player to occasionally use with the TV. Would I be right in assuming that this wouldn't be an issue for us to just plug one in and play DVDs?
Cheers

Definitely buy a blu-ray player rather than a DVD player.
Re. model numbers look them up on LG's website and compare the specs.
But more importantly go and take a look at them in store and try to see some content you are likely to watch rather than the snazzy 4K demo content.
Richer Sounds are nice people to deal with and offer excellent long warranties so they'd be my first choice to buy from.

I had a look at the website but can't fathom any differences tbh...
We don't own a single Blu-ray we only have DVDs!
Thanks
tbh I'm looking at around 600 quid on a TV and 30 quid on a cheap DVD player. We don't buy any DVDs to keep any more (and that includes Blu Ray) but have a number of old DVDs and videos I transferred to DVD, which we may want to play in the future...
I'd still like to try and understand the LG part numbers though before I buy a new TV next week!

Good man. And whilst your at it please buy at least one Blu-ray disc. I'd recommend 'Gravity'. Picture will blow your mind if your used to DVD.
If you use streaming services (Netflix or Amazon Prime) might be worth checking/upgrading your broadband connection. 25Mb will get you 4K HDR via streaming.
We have no chance on the broadband as where we are we are lucky to get it all! (very rural west Wales)...mind you I don't subscribe to any streaming anyway!If you use streaming services (Netflix or Amazon Prime) might be worth checking/upgrading your broadband connection. 25Mb will get you 4K HDR via streaming.
