New TVs thread

Millsy

Most of what I watch (70s porn, Channel 5 Traffic Cops, McGuyver, Bullseye and assorted snuff films) requires decent upscaling. I’m constantly impressed with how the Sony manages to make classic movies like Turner & Hooch or Mac and Me look like the latest Nolan.

Millsy it’s not about how good the tv is, but the quality of what you are watching on your tv, and that is a choice selection. 3D TVs is really what you are after

Meh. 3d was a mahoosive fad imo. Was never really that interested in it. I remember when the first few big 3d films launched and then loads followed suit. It’s anyone making anything in 3d any more?

My mate bought one, spent a fortune on it (against my advice that he’dnever use the 3d) and true to form he’s only watched one film in 3d as it gave him headaches lol

Amps Sony are well behind the curve. They’re living off their brand and their history. A Sammy or an LG - they’re your choices. I bought a very expensive TV and went through the whole selection process - Sony is not at the races at all.

Along_the_Wire Fabric steps!

Along_the_Wire Sony is not at the races at all.

In what way? More details please. I have to say, knowing their build quality is a bit better and that I might get a few more years out of it does appeal at the moment.

As soon as Grant huddles himself off the Fabric stairlift, Millsy’s going for the kill

Amps 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.

How often do you lot change TVs? I’m on my third in 20 years.

Homegrove The last time I bought a tv was 6 years ago. Before that, 2011. I still have the one from 2011, but it’s small in comparison to what’s out there now (32inch), so that’s in my bedroom and my bigger, newer TV is the one I use most often.

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.

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

Smallman1 Why did he go again? I keep forgetting.

Personally think the Samsungs look the absolute nuts
