Every 5 to 7 years I’d guess. When I bought my OLED I moved the Panasonic plasma that had been downstairs into my dj/gaming room.

Along_the_Wire they’re behind in tech and they’re lumpy both financially and physically. I used to love Sony TVs, but they’ve been asleep at the wheel for some time

Couldn’t help but read this in the voice of Partridge 😆 . You are right though, I think it mostly boils down to the fact that they’re reliant on other companies for the panels.

https://www.rtings.com/tv and the TV geek forum on https://www.avforums.com are both good places to do some research.

BF (RIP) would have been all over this thread!

    In the market for a 50″(ish) TV. No gaming. Just streaming, sport and playing .mp4 files

    Any recommendations please?

      You can’t go wrong with any of the latest offerings from LG or Samsung.

      Has anyone gone in for a TV with two tuners, where you can record straight to a USB in the back whilst watching another channel? Or does everyone just use catch up services?

        Got a virgin TiVo box which can record and can watch multiple channels at the same time.

          Dubman Yeah, got a Humax which does similar, looking to jib it though.

          I know what you mean. A friend told me to get a fully loaded firestick off eBay. But can’t be asked.

            Dubman I’m trying to do a bit of future proofing whilst not having a million things plugged into the back of it.

            For anyone that has got a double tuner tv, and uses it to record, what make did you go for and what is the internal TV recording software like for recording and playback?
