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...

Hand in your man badge.

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?

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

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?

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

Well, I'm stuck buying a whole new telly, or three, as it is... I just wondered if Ambilight was actually any good, as I wouldn't have thought of Phillips as being a good make for a TV, but I literally have no idea to be honest.

How are Samsung rated these days?

Ok, I realise I am an idiot... however, can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two TVs?

TV 1 >>> Philips 43PUS6753 43"

TV 2 >>> Philips 43PUS6703 43"

You might get more response if you posted some links.

I've not got the links, they're the model numbers of two TVs on my shortlist which I now don't know the difference between.

The only difference I can see in the specs is the speaker configuration

Pretty much the same then?

I'm wondering what kind of a difference "front" speakers (like on that Toshiba ^^^) would make?

I can't use sound bars because they will be wall mounted with no visible cables.

(...but who uses the built in TV speaker these days?)

That would be me... unless there's a wireless way of linking the TV to better speakers.

Just put a soundbar underneath the TV? (Also wall mounted). Cables can either be chased if there's lots of gap, or if you mount it flush with the bottom of the TV, you won't see them.

Too late for this, as the chasing is already done... there's a brand new wall with power, HDMI, etc leads ready to roll at the desired height.

That's pretty cool, thank you.
