Recommend me a smart TV

longwalks1

We’re after a 32” smart tv, up to about £240. Any recommendations please? I’m guessing I’m after 1080p, other than that anything else I should look for please?

Get an LG, they are great in both the cheap and high end options.


I would recomend at least 40" though, I replaced my lg 42" with a lg 50" lately, same size due to less bezel. So I'm saying 40" is smaller than you may think.


I would also say go for 4k (which is probably not around under 40"). Mainly because the TV can then play x265 media.


Wait for offers, they are always occuring.

None, attach a computer / laptop to it. Most smart TV's do not support USB HUbs which mean you can only add one USB device

Or get a Chromecast and cast media to it

Still gonna need a display though, and you save nothing by not going smart.


AS I said LG is nice, I stopped using all the add ons for my old tv. Still I have them for when the enevitable occurs!

Did I miss a question that was posed? To what does your reply refer? Wrong thread?
My Smart TV has three USB inputs.

A bit bigger than you wanted, though on budget;

The problem with buying older tech TV is that you are always behind the curve. If you can shoot 4k 60 FPS video on your phone, you cannot view it properly on your TV.
Also a standard digital camera will product photos at a much higher resolution than a 1080p TV.

If buying new, I would be looking a 4k screen and perhaps a refresh rate better than the standard low end of 50 Hz.

Many people complain that Samsung stop supporting their previous models all too quickly.

Richer Sounds has an 4k LG at a decent price; https://www.richersounds.com/lg-43uk6300plb.html Though over budget at £319
