I need help selecting new TV

slenderkitten

Hi i need to get a new tv i use my computer screen as a tv as it has a tv card/aerial in it.

i'm looking at £400-£600 range

I love technology but not caught up for a long time

1. What features should i definitely get or be looking for?
2. i would like to be able to record tv, i don't have sky or cable just free view.
3. i would like to get on with external speakers like a cinema surround experience if possible in the price range.
4. the quality of the screen is very important as i wear glasses hence why i am not going for the cheaper market in case the colours are horrible and hurts my eyes.

With the sales now on WHERE should i be looking?

Almost all the Which? best buy TVs in your price range are Samsung. These 48" ones score very highly:

UE48H6500 £549
UE48H6400 £529

This is a 32":

UE32H6400 £379

Regarding reliability, Panasonic is top, closely followed by Sony then Samsung. Technika is worst by a large margin.

ok, but please suggest which one, sound and display is very important as both on what i currently use is really top notich for saying it isn't a hd screen. has BBE digital and dolby surround sound so i dont like to listen to crap sounds or display is terrible or doesn't display things nicely i can change how it looks on my screen.

I'm going to be following these two guides which seem fairly up to date with the latest things to look for:

http://www.techradar.com/news/television/tv-buying-guide-2014-1271407

http://www.techradar.com/news/television/hdtv/10-best-42-inch-hdtvs-in-the-world-today-657803

To summarise those two articles:

It's a bit too soon to bother with 4K unless you really want to spend thousands of pounds. Curved TV's are a gimmick. 3D and Plasma are dead. Make sure you find out about what type of LED screen you're getting - avoid "IPS".

SONY BRAVIA KDL42W705B

I've decided to buy this but I'm going to wait to see it the price will come down. Anyone know much about it or have one?
