Bedroom Tv Help (LED)

[rob619]

Hey everyone! Well recently had an extension done to the house and now need a tv for the room. I have been looking around in my local currys store and online (seems better option) and am looking for a LED tv, which has internet tv and hd freeview.

I recently spoke to a tv repair guy, who has over 15 years experience behind him, he said not to bother with the 3D hype and look for the features mentioned above.

Narrowed it down to two models: Sony KDL32EX523 and Samsung UE32D5520.

Going towards the Samsung model as that has 100hz meaning less blur while the Sony only has 50hz.

My budget is below 400..which one of the two? Are there any other models recommended?

B4 you decide have a look at richer sounds very reasonable and the 5year guarantees r unbelieveable on ?400 tv they charge ?40.....................

Cheers yeh I looked at them. Not to bothered about guarantees tbh. I just want the dam thing as cheap as possible and not actually sure on what actual set to get.

Im really tempted by 3D tv's now as I am a big gamer and playing in 3D would be great :proud:

led tv is a scam,you pay extra money just because its 3cm thin????not because off picture quality??

No dude LED is better, but I can understand what you are saying. Its just the way the TV is lighted is different. Still I am the type of person who does want the latest tech, so maybe I have been fooled! Still going to get one though

Thanks for the find but 22 inches is just too small! Yes 32 is the size I require would be just right for bedroom and gaming!

Guys thanks for the advice but I think I am going to go for the Samsung mentioned "UE32D5520". As it has 100hz and the one's mentioned have only 50hz. I am a big gamer who spends alot of money hence would want a tv with everything, loll.

Dammit if only 3D tv's were cheaper I have been waiting an age for them to lower but doesnt seem to be happening, loll.

Agree with lagerland on this- Richer sounds is the place to go for flatscreen tvs. Got a cracking lg telly there last week and only 24.99 for 5 year warranty. Now where else could you get that.

Meaning even if you accidently break it. Which is easy with the flat screen tv's nowadays they will fix/replace with no questions asked?

[lagerland]

Dont understand why you wouldnt have a 5year guarante especially at a fiver a year money for old rope...........

[garry1312]

That guarantee is very impressive cant see you finding that elsewhere easily.

Personally I would never own a Samsung TV I am not a fan. Look at LG's tv's mate excellent quality, nicely priced and if your wanting to spend 100-200 extra there cinema range TV's come with like 8 pairs of glasses and you can use the same glasses you use in the cinema for 3d rather than the expensive 3d tv glasses.

Thanks for the reply. Just out of interest why dont you like Samsung? LG are good with TV's I do admit and are under rated, they are the ones that actually invented alot of the technology in use for TV's nowadays.

It would be great if you could give me some models numbers. Something that beats this model for the price as I have narrowed it to this: Samsung UE32D6100. It is for the bedroom so I need 32 inch.

3D,LED, 200htz, Internet TV (Smart TV), HD Freeview. The cheapest I have found is 420 pounds. If anyone has found a tv with these features for a better price I will buy!! So far however this is extremly close to getting my hard earned money. (Im a furniture fitter, not greatly paid! Lol)

I know a few people who have bought Samsung TVs and had faults with them common one being lines across the screen.

Just a few weeks ago actually the Mrs sister had to send one back for that reason.

I also think they are overrated. Also several that I have seen in friends/ families houses I have not been impressed by picture quality.

I think LG was underrated in the TV market but I think more and more people are realising that LG make TV's and they make them well.

If you are not to interested in internet TV (hook the comp up to it)

Heres a LG one and 400hz.

Thanks Gary! Yeh loving the 400hz but its missing two keys features which are quite key in modern tv sets..No Hd Freeview and also Internet Tv which the Samsung has. I think I will just go for the Samsung now..lastly even though you are not a fan of Samsung would you given the features say it is ok for the money its worth? Cheers, Rob

[cactikid]

i think i remember seeing an add on unit for a non lan tv to use the internet,if only i could have read the name lol

For me HD freeview is not much of a issue and same with internet TV, view all my TV on the Dreambox, it also has youtube on it and connect the PC through the TV also.

Yeah looks a cracking price mate be hard to beat it. Also not saying there is anything wrong with Samsung TV's the way I feel about them is just a personal preference and also the fact that I am a huge LG fan when it comes to TV's. Plenty of people out there that recommend Samsung's.

Hey unfortunately my search has now taken a turn for the worst! Appartently Samsung use a 3D which has "active shutter" display meaning it is prone to flickering and the glasses require a battery which the glases alone cost 60/30 a pair! Lg use "passive" 3D technology meaning can use any 3D glasses, less damage is done to eyes and the 3D is better, more vivid.

If only LG did a Hd Freeview and Internet ready TV I would get it! :giveup:

[garry1312]

Get a dish stuck up mate and go for a sat setup :)

What is it you want out of internet tv? Its not something that has appealed to me.

Yeah and they sort of glasses cost a arm and a leg mate least with the LG cinema range its the same 3D glasses as the cinema, you get like 7 pairs with the TV and then you can also buy them for ?1 each I think compared to ?50-?100 each.

Hey Gary. Well I think its cool having smart internet tv's as there called. I am a member of Lovefilm and the fact that they have it in built is great. Normally I have to take the ps3 downstairs with all the connections etc so everybody can watch.

I am just very suprised LG have not got a Hdfreeview with Internet TV on the market, most other companies have!
I would get the Samsung mentioned as that has all but the glasses thing is bugging me! Just doesnt sound good to your eyes the way the active glasses are constantly tricking eyes with lighting etc, while passive is more forgiving. Most reviews I have read are favourable to passive 3D aswell.

[garry1312]

Can see what you mean if you have a sub to lovefilm. Me I just download them stick them over to the Dreambox and watch through the tv ;)

That is surprising its not something I have noticed but it's not two features I look for.

Yeah for me it would need to be passive not even that but the cost of the other glasses is just a complete joke.

Not went 3D yet still trying to talk the Mrs in to it but she's not budging, our current livingroom TV is not even a year old yet so I have some battle ahead lol.

Haha, great comment. I am in a similar situation but have lost the battle! Now resorted to putting it into my bedroom thats why I'am on the look for a smaller size model (32 inch).

I used to download and put on usb like you however I'am a big gamer and works out cheaper if I just rent games from them etc :) Other peps in the household can use the Lovefilm on the TV internet built in, hence me looking for it desperately! I really dno at times I am soo close to getting the Samsung, but the cost for 2 pairs of glasses is close to 70 pounds, big joke! I remeber back in the good old days and even now, you can get a TV with that amount!! Also the active technology can't be that bad?

Is there software to run all channels here in the states for free without vpn server. I am using expatshield for viewing all. I am trying to find a way to hack into latest version of filmon as well.

[rob619]

Thanks for the info. Yes it is a good TV and very good value for money!

However I have just brought this: Samsung UE37D6530

I have paid 600 for it, as an ex-display model. Which I think is good value for money. Currys have it for 800 pounds :bike:

What does everyone think of this TV?? I have read review and they are generally positive: Samsung UE37D6530 review | T3 (http://www.t3.com/reviews/samsung-ue37d6530-review)
