I think 4K is a waste of money at the moment.Very little content for all that extra cash.Maybe in a couple of years it might be worth it but not now. Amazon do have some superb deals and there was an excellent sale on in Sony centre's a few weeks back. What size TV you looking for ? |

I was thinking 55. I was for buying a Sony one, always thought their picture was the best.

If you dont go for a 4K TV you should get an excellent TV for less than a grand.I know its all personal taste/choice but I don't see the point getting a 4K or even bothering with a smart TV.You can buy a android box for your TV for a €100 that will do everything a smart TV does and a whole lot more. |

Got a 4k Panasonic and love it. Limited content alright but will do me years. Best picture and build quality are Panasonic and Sony. Picture wise never been impressed with Samsung. Wouldn't bother with smart either Tbh but most mid to top range tv's will have it regardless. ------------- @AntrimMan85 |

The thing with buying a 4K now is the lack of content and the extra costs.Could be better off buying cheaper and be able to upgrade in 2 or 3 years time if there is a big jump in features.. Your right about the smart as well I never use the features on mine but they all seem to have them now. |

Agree totally. Got mine in a sale just after Christmas for a price I couldn't look past , think it was 50 quid or so more than I was prepared to pay for a decent full hd, so made sense. Wouldn't pay big money for 4K at this point in time ------------- @AntrimMan85 |

I was in today in Currys like i said , i got quoted 3k for their 4k one with build in speakers....... Why not  That's why I'm asking, never been impressed by Samsung, their screens have a reflection and i find their sound rubbish compared to Sony and Panasonic.

I agree with AntrimMAn. I think Pananasonic have the best picture quality. Not saying there are others arent as good but from my shopping around for a tv 2 years ago I went a bit mad checking out tv's and stuff. I have a plasma panasonic I bought for 500 beans and HD on upc for sport and its better than anything I see in the shops or at the sky hd stalls. ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

As far as I know anything less than 50in and you can't actually discern a difference between 4k and HD.Unless you are getting a big screen for your stadium I can't see the reason for it. ------------- Our City. Our Community. Our Club IG @flanno_7hi |

Yes you need an aerial but the indoor aerial are supposed to work with it fine. Tesco were selling a Samsung 32" Full HD TV for €199.Maybe check in store see what they have left. |

Thats a fine TV for the price.Saorview/Freeview built in. Works out about €370 delivered. Its in Powercity as well but it €70 dearer. Depends what you need the TV for,will it be the main TV in house ?If you looking for a second TV/bedroom TV then the above one is perfect,you might want to go more expensive if you to replace your main tv. Richersounds have a Sony Bravia Smart TV for €500ish and it comes with 6 year guarantee .

A fella in power city once told me that UK TVs don't always work here. He was speaking sh#t, right? With sterling the way it is, theres serious bargains to be had on loads of things for a few weeks at least until suppliers up the costs and it gets passed on. ------------- "Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur".

He might have meant some UK TVs wouldn't be able to display Saorview ,they just wouldn't have that tuner built in .Other than that a UK TV will work here. |

Thanks, stupid question maybe but if I got a UK TV and then decide to get rid of Sky in the future, how would I get RTE then? ------------- "Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur".

would need to get a decoder.Best thing to do is find a TV you want and then its fairly straightforward to find out if it will decode Saorview. You are as well to buy a tv that is saorview compatible,a huge amount of them are now anyways.I have bought a few TV's from UK the last few years and always got saorview compatible . |
