Anyone bought a new TV lately? 50 inch max.
Don’t think I need OLED. It’s going to be on the wall in the open kitchen/diner.
Depends on your kitchen layout but for that, I'd prioritise viewing angle over anything else. Doesn't mean I've got a recommendation but I've got one in our house where I wish I'd spent more to get one with a better viewing angle.
In our house we only have Samsung because they come with two remotes and the kids keep hiding them but any remote seems to operate any telly so we can afford to put a few in a drawer for emergencies.
Decide on your budget first then go to Richer sounds. Could also be worth taking a photo of where you intend to put the TV to seek their advice on the most suitable.
Like others though Samsung are great.

comes with ROKU back end which works very well, Hisense are a Chinese company who I believe have been the biggest seller of TV's in China for about 15 years
its a cracking picture
got mine about 2 and 1/2 years ago and its been a cracking TV, well impressed with it
RItcher Sounds are the best for knowledge and so helpful .
I'm advised only Samsung and LG build there television fro start to finish others but in components such as Sony who used to use LG screens.
I got an LG TV which apprantly has one of the best Internet connection capabilities and much cheaper than Samsung?
When buying this gear it's best to check if you can afford the supporting mechanism such as boxes and subscriptions,
Sorry should add that as others have said : use richer sounds to pick the actual telly. They are great, and fighting the good fight against Amazon. They have an excellent price match too so you shouldn't be out of pocket but even if it costs a bit more you get an excellent warranty and proper advice. You cant go and look at sets in person at Amazon. Give richer a call. I doubt I'll buy a TV anywhere else.
Basically anyone who buys a telly anywhere else is a dick. Especially if it's in a supermarket on black Friday or whatever.
But seriously- I bought a fairly cheap telly from richer and had an issue with colour banding. Sent them an email. The actual guy who sold it to me asked for pics and a video (of my telly, not my genitals) and fixed it for me. Use it or lose it.
I like the look of a Samsung 50inch QLED.
My main TV is an LG and while the picture is fantastic I have one issue with it when watching the football, there is a bit of vertical banding when the camera pans from side to side. So I'm reluctant to go LG again.
Id recommend the 50 but 48 is not a bad option
Sony OLED. All day long.
I’ve been looking this morning and I only need a 43 inch for the kitchen. 50 will be too overbearing.
I’m Looking at Samsung qled or their crystal HD. I guess qled is the best one. I'll look into it. Very thin. Not that expensive either.
I also need an other tv for a room that I’m going to make a bit of a man cave. I think I’ll go for the OLED in there as i can make it like a cinema room. Maybe the LG 48 OLED for that one. Prices have come down a lot in last two years.
How many are you buying, Mike? Sounds like you're opening a TV shop.
We’ve had once in a lifetime renovations done (for us anyway, I don’t want to have to have walls knocked down again and be without a kitchen for a few weeks). It’s meant a change of use for a number of rooms / areas. The kitchen / dining area which is now one big space needs a Tv. I went for the 43 Samsung QLED. Any bigger and it will be out of place and overbearing.
We’ve also created Extra living space which will see one of my sons use and he needed a TV. It’s quite a compact but modern new space so I got another 43 QLED. At the moment he only has his phone as a tv so the living space will need a proper telly.
Finally these works have left a room spare. So I have bagged it as mine. It’s the old box room for which I got myself the 48 LG OLED. It’s was price matched and got all three from Richer Sounds with the 6 year warranty.
I rocked up there today and took all three home in the back of the car.
I can remember a tv needing a two man delivery team.
Revisiting this thread, I bought a 65" OLED 12 weeks ago but have been working in Belfast for the past 12 weeks with only 2 weekends at home so have had a very limited time in actually watching it i bought an ambilight back light type knowing i could turn it off if i didn't like it but i do think it enhances the viewing experience and quite like it.
Yeah Richer Sounds 6 year warranty but we chose LG.
1 for the bedroom 50”
1 for the lounge 60”
1 for the kitchen 40+”
Wall mounted
Watch them about once a week
Dunno why I bothered
