Smart tv.

[Toby]

Any one have one, my plasma , now 4 years old is getting slow to turn on, and missing pixels! 

Reading up it seems smarts the way to go!

Can I get one which don't have 3d? Not fussed by all that!

47"-50" this time I think!!


Sujestions!?

I got a 40inch Samsung Smart TV (cant remember the model)

Interface is a little clunky but most of the tv apps like iPlayer etc are on there and it streams stuff really nicely

Depends if you've got an Xbox or not - it has Netflix, lovefilm, Skype etc so turns your 'dumb' tv into a smart tv.

Iv got a x box, but I only use it for DVD'  no gaming any more!!

[Toby]

I would use it for Netflix also! Which I currently don't atm

[Jay]

Put Netflix on it, I found the XBOX interface better than the PC version!

Internet Explorer (Ok, it's not everyone's favorite browser) is coming to the xbox soon, it does a good job and a web browser, full screen, on a large TV is pretty sweet! I've ordered a keypad for the xbox controller so Internet Explorer is easier to use.

That way you could get a regular TV, but a much better one in terms of picture quality / refresh rate than a smart TV with lower specs. Try the xbox out and see if you think it'll give you the 'smart' features you want.

Good plan jay!

 I'm in no rush yet! Decorating the front room ! Just spent £1700 on furniture and a fire place!! Thugs you do keep the mrs happy!! But she agreed to a new tv if I decorated!

Win win!

[Jay]

If I'd get a TV now I'd go for a thin bezel/frame with a great picture quality, Panasonic Viera's are great for picture quality ! unfortunately thin frames were almost nonexistent when I got mine and the few that were around were waaaay out of my price range.

Just bought a 40" Sony Bravia LED smart TV and I'm well impressed with it. Cost £550 delivered from Tesco
