Well after my son smashing the screen on my 3D 50" samsung plasma twice and then my daughter totally finishing it off. They wrote it off after 3 yrs of use. They offered me the full amount back. Now i have £650-£750 to spend on a nice 3D smart tv. Now with my samsung i could pop in my external hd in the usb port and watch movies. I want upto 50" but only can find upto 47" for samsung. I also want freeview HD. Now whats LG like? Iv never had an LG product. Any good news about them?

thanks for that barry but its a 40" i had 50" so its quiet a big drop in size for me also never heard of proscan. Sounds like some cheap make. Well it is a cheap make otherwise it wouldav been alot more.
i defo want smart & 3D.
samsung is active 3D & LG is passive.
-
Samsung are on top form with TV's imo
I always find its best to stick with what you know :smiley:

Why? Theresa barely anything out that will work with it!!!
Wait till it's down in price within a couple of years
-
Samsung for me all the way but then I'm biased I worked for them but LG is also a very good make just find a model u like the look of and google it to see what people think of it that way you can't really go wrong!
-
Ive just spent the past couple of weeks looking into new TVs and purchased a 42" Panasonic Viera yesterday. I almost went for a Samsung but at that price point they were no where near as highly specced. Personally I thought the Panasonic looked better made as well with its metal bezel where as the Samsung were glossy black plastic.
-
Only the lower models tend to still be plastic I have a bezel less one and it's brushed aluminium around the edge.. Many different models depends in year of manufacture spec etc and some shops put certain models on offer etc to sell overall samsung vs quality and price you will be hard pushes to find better IMO although Panasonic has made a huge effort to modernize the look of there tvs

If you can stretch to a grand I bought this 1 for my folks Christmas and it's epic http://www.prcdirect.co.uk/details.php?nrd=1&product_url_id=UE55F6500&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=feedmanager&gclid=COvxq7XO370CFZShtAodvzUAgw
John lewis also do it for 45 more which comes with a 5yr warranty
My old man uses xbmc via his pc for movies and the tv picks it up and you can search via your movies and tv... The smart features are really good and fast takes up to a 4tb external drive and looks good mate
-
55" is too big. Max size i want is 50" 47" being the lowest. Iv got loads of movies on a 1TB HD and i always have blurays on them so love watching in bluray so need 1 with a usb and has to be smart & 3D. Im going to stick with samsung unless pcworld or currys can convince me into buying a LG. Will be going to them on friday and see whats the crack
thanks for that guys :wink:

bad experiance? I want extendee warrenty as i have 2 kids and you know they will break something.
-
So get the model take it to john Lewis they will price match and give you a 5 yr warranty! I was an engineer for samsung bud and curries used to use there own repairers etc I wouldn't trust them and there staff no about as much as tvs as what's explained in the stats sheets provided!! Richer sounds online also price match and thee warranties are cheap and are also good! But for me nothing beats john lewis in terms of service and after care and it's all done via samsung for 5 yrs

or richersounds who will give you a 5 yr warranty if you join the vip club (simple email sign up).
Samsung, if you're watching films from an hard drive then odds are you'll want one that supports DTS codec, Samsung does this, pretty sure LG don't have the licence for it.
If you do go PC world ask about DTS support from USB devices, odds are the technical staff will cry or look blankly at you.

got this with my new Panasonic. :smiley:
-
Does john lewis & richer sounds warrenty cover accidental damage?
-
I wouldn't if thought so mate that's what contents insurance is for... Try asking then if they do additional cover!
-
Warranty is for the device in case of breakdown. Highly unlikely you'd get accidental damage cover with it unless you pay for extra coverage.
I got a Samsung TV before Christmas and am very pleased with it even though it's not the top of the range. It's much better than my parents more expensive LG Smart TV, which has issues displaying anything with movement and the image just doesn't look right.
-
I have 3 LG tv both been good buys :cool:
-
Personally, I wouldn't touch LG with a barge pole.
I bought a 50" plasma a few years back (50PS3000). One month after the 12 month warrenty, they x & Y boards (not sure if correct term) started playing up - not displaying colurs correctly.
Rang up Curry, who told me to go away, rang up LG who were not intrested even though there was a growing thread on AV forums with people with the same issues.
Emailed the MD of LG as requested with info including links to the forum. Got a reply about 6 weeks later saying no conclusive evidence and was on my own. Paid £200 to get it fixed.

never had any problems personally had my older LG LCD for over 6 years with no issues & had my LG 3d LCD about 2 years with no issues
