looking at getting a new tv....

[JP]

We have a 3d lg47" smart tv. Great tv for pc, ps3 and normal tv. Smart tv functiins are great but is hard wired to internet router. We also have the samsung smart tv with build in wifi and is a great tv too. Both have superb pictures once tweaked from out of the box settings. 3d is a novelty but I do enjoy some of the ps3 titles a lot more than in normal format.

That's a few people saying about LG 47" 3d smart.
So if I can get one with WiFi built in that would be a bonus. Some tvs that don't have it built in are like £200 cheaper. But a WiFi adapter is like £40-60......don't make sense.

Any input regarding this would help.

I see there are a bit more 50" led on the market also.

Looking for some no bigger that 55"

Last two Samsung's for me have been a pain (1 x 32" LCD, the other 37" LED)
Both had capacitors blow on the power boards, meaning the TV's wouldn't switch on.
Easy enough to fix if you are handy with a soldering iron after buying some better caps, which is what I had to do as both were out of warranty and local TV repairer wanted stupid money after enquiring about the first.
Knew straight away the second time what was up.

Plenty of info on the net about Samsung's dodgy under-rated caps on the power boards.
Maybe Samsung have got their act together? but it's put me off them.

On an LG 32LM620T (32")upstairs, (built in wi-fi)
and an LG 47LM640T (47") downstairs (built in wi-fi)
(3D feature rocks on both and have an LG webcam on the 47 for talking to my dad in switzerland through the skype app)

Thanks keep the info coming. Cheers

I would defo NOT use wifi, but pull a cable. I use wifi for music only and even that is not good enough at times (there are at least half a dozen other wifi AP's near my house, and probably the same amount of other stuff interfering with wifi reception)

^^^^^ very valid point I forget about that sometimes as live in the middle of nowhere and neighbours are all old and don't do internet

After some searching I have went LG.

Best model I could find in currys,pc world etc was the LG 47LM760T for £999. A good tv also.
But the last shop I went into yesterday (hydro electric) had a LG 47LM960V. Top of the range for 2012 spec on 47".
For £999....... Currys list this tv at £2799 but currently have it at 1599 sale price.

I believe there was 6 still in stock yesterday. Clearing stock for 2013 model I guess.
LG rep was also in when I was in and bought one as with her discount couldn't get near it.

So a bargain in my eyes.

Comes with 7 pairs of specs also.

Awesome deal there

I've been looking at TVs, it will be for movies/PS3 only, I've got 3 samsung screens and only one works. All under 2yrs old. As it will be mostly movies I'm thinking Panansonic Plasma the 50" GT50 is about a grand, but I have decided I want 55" and only the top of the range model is available in that size.. when I was first looking it was £2300 and now it's down to £1800 so maybe I'll just wait a few more months!

Cheers

I was also thinking 55" but out my price range.

I have a Samsung LE32R87DB I bought about 6 years ago. Still going strong with 2 boys at 3 and 4 hitting it with toys etc.

New tv is wall mounted. Hope its safe.......lol
