    What size are you looking for @shine166
    I think 45 is plenty for us 
    55" 4K minimum. Anything smaller its a waste of technology, get immersed in the picture quality that's available nowadays. I talked my mate into getting  an 8K tv, nothing really broadcast in 8K but stunning picture. I've got 55, 60 & 65" 4K tvs and really regret not getting the 75". Watching sport in 4K on a large screen even makes England back passing interesting.
    Euros wasn't broadcast in 4k unfortunately.

    It was on BBC iPlayer . Not all the matches but the important ones certainly were on UHD.

    A year or so back I bought a Samsung 55" for my small sitting room. It has the sound tracking and coupled with a Samsung sound bar it is supposed to use the the TVs many speakers to create Dolby Atmos sound field. It was a big disappointment, it sort of works but not really. Big TV and big AV system is the way to go, combine them 2 and put a seafaring film on and you'll be sea sick.

    Yep, I appear to be wrong. The old memory ain’t what used to be. Did they put HDR logo next to game on iPlayer, I think that’s where I’m getting confused as there was 2 different streams available.

    Looking at buying a new TV, ideally no more than £500 as itl probably end up getting broken by flying Hotwheel cars like our current one lol. Just wondering if anyone has picked one up recently and has some suggestions ?

    cheers !
    Prime day at the moment, the omni qled tvs are decent for that sort of price range.
    Yeah I've been having a look, but it's kinda a £500 punt with so much choice.
    Omni QLED 50in @ £379 is the one I'd be looking at.

    43in is a bit cheaper and closer to your size but sacrificing some picture quality due to the way they've set up the panels (led backlight vs full array).
    Is that the amazon fire ?
    Yeah.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/amazon-fire-tv-50-omni-qled-series-4k-uhd-smart-tv/dp/B09N6MYD23?th=1
    Bastards have put it back to £650 lol 

    Edit 55inch is £429

    Size counts, You dont really get the whole experience with the smaller ones.  I would willing pay £40 for a few more inches.

    I had an LG OLED C1 55" up until recently. Only sold it because I was driving across the country and didn't want it to get damaged.

    The problem with OLED is that once you have it, everything else looks terrible. The picture quality, especially in a dark room, is just unreal. They also have very fast refresh rates so bring PS5 games to life too.

    Apparently as the room gets a lot of natural light the cheaper QLED is the better option for me! 😃

    I have bought several Sony TV’s over many years and can only say I have never had a dud.
    Currently got a 52 inch…..it’s superb. 🙂

    I’ve just had an LG OLED C4 installed in the basement. When the screen goes black, you wouldn’t know there was a TV there. The old one would show that’s as a dark grey. Impressive.

    Love my Sony as it’s Android and easy to run IPTV apps.
