Many thanks for confirming. I've been looking at an LG C1, which having downloaded the manual doesn't appear to have a camera, but does have an AI driven 'magic' remote :unsure:

While I have no interest in Alexa of Google services, is it possible to run a TV without it connected to the internet in 2021? Honestly, I don't know how they work these days. Non-connection would be possible for me as I have a freesat box that still works (though its days are numbered) and a...

Hi, Sadly the time has come to replace my trusty Panasonic plasma TV. Since I purchased my set over 10 years ago there have been many technological developments integrated into sets - whether you want them or not. As an individual who cares about the erosion of privacy, smart sets all appear...

I'd like to buy a new media player to stream YouTube , iplayer and the like. But also want it to be able to playback hvec/ h265 encoded files from a Dnla nas. Hdmi and and multichannel audio essential. 4k, not so much. Was looking at roku 2, but that was ages ago and not sure of it's h265 mkv...

I dont really understand who Sony is marketing this product too? By the time there is any amount of content, the game will have moved on - and got much cheaper no doubt. I'm all for the progression of technology though early adoption (with nothing to view) in the domestic sector is for people...

I recently had an engineer calibrate 8 x 42st50s purchaced for use at work. Straight out the box, calibration in 'normal' mode was very good and minimal fine adjustment was needed - something you would not be able to do without a decent colour probe anyway. I'd stick to the 'normal' mode and...

Ta Indeed - you would be tempted!

Sorry, don't know why? Just copy + paste... I thought you were allowed to post links outside the site?

While it is not really a realistic domestic purchase (unless you are absolutely loaded) , I demoed the Dolby Professional monitor which has almost instantly become the 'industry standard' , only just now replacing high end Pro HD CRT's It is basically a 42" LCD with a full array RGB LED...

Though it seems like it wont happen, If someone had told you about Spotify 10 years ago allowing the unlimited service it offers today - you would have been equally sceptical. Then there is a huge amount available free on Youtube and similar sites. Lets face it, Films revenue is generally...

I have always found sky to be much like M+S, the product is generally good but you will be charged the absolute maximum you would ever be prepared to pay. As far as Virgin goes, cable is IMO by far the best medium for getting good consistent broadband speeds as it is an independent network...

£10 hehe. I think £10 is a little low for TV and film as well as music. I told my wife about this post and she said "£50 - you wouldn't pay that much!" When I think about it, she is right. OK - I'd definitely pay £30...

OK - here's a completely hypothetical question... If you had access to unlimited media, and by that I mean EVERYTHING - every film, TV programme, music track - what would you be prepared to pay? I had this discussion with a colleauge at work recently and was wondering what others thought...

Boooo I guess my dream of a cheap 46" vt50 is just that... Seriously though, I wish Panasonic hadn't ditched the 46. For me it's the perfect compromise between a 50 which is just too big for most rooms, and a 42 which is just that little bit too small. Maybe I should go search for a...

Can you confirm there will definitely not be a European 42 or 46" 2012 VT model released? Oh and any pricing? Not getting ready to raid the piggy bank just yet...! Thanks
