    Dear Samsung, Sony and LG – please start paying attention to cheap TVs as well as OLEDs

    I also agree completely. The cabal of Samsung, Sony and LG seemingly want us to buy huge TV's at massive prices. Not everyone, myself included, can accommodate anything bigger than 48" despite having a large lounge. Wall mounting is not an option for me. My other bugbear is the downgrading of...

    I think Netflix and HBO are about to change the streaming TV market forever - here's why

    Anyone with half a brain could see this one coming. It's one of the reasons I never bought in to the whole streaming idea. Never did, never will.

    We tested the 5 best OLED TVs of 2023 – and one thing's not quite right

    That's why I love my LG C2 OLED, because it has a great slider control in the settings to adjust the colour temperature between Cool and Warm so I can accurately set my personal preference.

    TV ambient sensors used to be a joke, but the best are now excellent

    I've always turned off ambient sensors on all the TV's I've had over the years. But after reading this article and having an LG C2 OLED, I decided to give it a go - after all, perhaps the technology has improved. So I switched the LG's light sensor to Auto and sat back to enjoy the results...

    Disney Plus' next move has made me question my streaming choices

    So you've been sponging off a friend's account to the tune of £200? For those of us who are honest enough to not engage in such dubious practices, our moral stance would cost us a lot of money per month to sign up to streaming services. That is why I have never signed up to any of them, knowing...

    Here's why CDs are the better, cheaper alternative to vinyl records

    "And not only are they yours to play in a CD player, hi-fi system or in your car..." Not many modern cars have CD players anymore. They are more into USB sticks or streaming off your phone.

    The ugly truth behind hi-fi's growing infatuation with nostalgia

    I don't replace Hi-Fi equipment very often. I have an 18 year old Art Audio Quintet Integrated valve amplifer, 13 year old Spendor A5 speakers and an 11 year old Quad Elite CD player. Two years ago I got the notion in my head to replace the power hungry valve amplifier. Surely after 18 years...

    Netflix's subscriber figures dip for the first time in a decade leading to hints that password sharing will be scrapped

    Perhaps customers are realising that Netflix is getting too expensive, and removing password sharing will probably encourage even more to ditch them.

    Some 42-inch LG C2 OLED TVs use an older panel type

    So once again, customers who have to buy the smaller screen sizes because of space limitations, are short-changed on the performance capabilities compared to the larger screens. I'm fed up of having no choice but to buy these 'crippled', lower tech TV's.

    LG OLED48CX

    I was very surprised and disappointed to read that this TV does not support the standard suite of catch-up apps. As far as I'm concerned this would be a show stopper. I cannot comprehend any manufacturer these days, introducing a new model without this facility. The review made no mention of...
