40+ Inches of LED TV

[Coby.]

Hi,

My brother is looking for a new tv for his lounge so I'd thought I'd ask on here as I've not payed much attention to tv's recently so don't know what's about.

He's looking for something 40" or Bigger
Wants it to be LED although I had a quick read and realise there are a few different types of LED Units
Has a Budget of around £650

He said he was tempted by a Samsung UE4C6000 at £625 but thought I'd ask if there was better within his budget?

Cheers
Andy.

For £600 I'd be looking at:

Sony KDL40NX703 - LED
LG 50PK590 - PLASMA
Panasonic 42G20 - PLASMA

Personally don't like Samsungs and their colour rendering. Look to Pricematch from shops like JL and Richer Sounds.

 

[Bodge!]

Bestbuy also pricematch

I got a 40" samsung ue407020 from Richer sounds 8 months ago. Was £1050 (compared to £1399 in Curry's) Also got £150 cashback from Samsung. Its a great tv and i would highly recommend it. They are about £750 but you can get the 6000 series Samsungs like the ue4c6000 and they are still very good tv's

My old man has just bought this: http://www.bestbuy.co.uk/product/1000120234/samsung-le40c750-40-lcd-3d-tv.aspx

It's a brilliant TV, because of the 3D upscaling, everything looks more 3-Dimensional even on Terrestrial Channels, you feel like you are on the set watching the programme/film being made, it is honestly really bizarre lol.

Obviously a bit more, but since things are moving towards 3D, might be worth a thought. Had really good reviews too.

There was a good deal on at Currys I noticed the other day, 50" Plasma....can't remember the make but it was only £549. Trying to convince the missus that the 40" can go in the bedroom and the new 50" in the lounge



Not sure it's working though

Pretty much what I did. It worked too.

LED aint worth the money tbh, get better quality from a decent plasma. panasonic 42-50" G10 or G20 are pretty much the best your gonna get. i think currys have the G20 50" on sale for like £450 atm which is amazing price.

ive got last years 50" G10 plasma and it looks better than my mates new samsung 3D tv he payed £2200 for. muppet.
but yeah, id go plasma tbh, especially at the price you can get the panasonic for at the minute

It's never been £450 in 37" or 42" let alone 50"!

I'd like to be wrong mind.

Don't get a Samsung. The speakers on them are shite. I'm happy with my Panasonic. The Samsung never sounds loud enough for films etc..

 

[realnumber 1]

The LG PK590 would be my choice for £600-650

If you buy a decent TV, you buy it for the picture/functions/space saving though, right? Otherwise we'd still be using CRT's and enjoying superior SQ. Just buy a media bar, or connect it to an external source... a £10 set of 2.1 speakers will outshine 95% of the included LCD/LED/Plasma speakers.

amazing tv, beats the g10 v10 etc and is clearly cheaper with half of the problems they suffer too, i have one in the bedroom.

I ordered a Sony KDL40NX503 (40", LCD, Bravia 3, Internet TV) the other day from Very (shop direct) for £350 on a 14 month interest free deal (£399. 99 -10% first order discount, -delivery charge and some also used Quidco an for it for less potentially).

Cracking deal I thought, only 50Hz, but I don't use 100Hz on our other TV. Good looking TV.
