What TV under £300

[wales1975]

Hi all

Now that Black Friday is almost upon us. The deals have started. Argos have a 40" Bush for £149 for example, Aldi have a 50" Toshiba for £199.

What are these cheaper brands like? Bush, TCL, Hisense, Toshiba. My 32" Samsung is on its last legs. As i sit close to the TV i think a 32" or 40 " maybe suitable?? Although i will miss out on 4k. I do some gaming, so a TV that would be suitable for an occasional gamer.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

Richer have got one of those offers where you need to think of a reason why you dont need it.
Panasonic 32"* full HD, £149 for VIP members.
(A Richer VIP is anyone breathing, with money).

* Or a 43" Panasonic for £249.....half the price that I paid for a 42" Panny years and years ago.

Worth bearing in mind low end Panasonic's are just badge engineered Vestels (along with Bush and Toshiba)

As long as they're at least as good as any other at the price, I'd take my chance if I was buying

Cheap TVs are great as a bedroom TV or a second tv in another lounge. TCL and Hisense have soem really nice 50 inch TVs even as a main TV costing under £400 . I rather spend £400 on a TV once every 2 years or so . Or spend £1000 or more and have to keep it for as long as possible then they become replaced with 2 years by a newer model Personally i think it is not value for money at all

Who cares whether TVs are replaced by incrementally better ones? A good TV should give years of use - my last three are all still going strong, and that covers at least 12 years.

I think there’s shades of grey here (not a pun, given it’s a TV thread).

Our last living room CRT was a 32” Sony. Award winner and dog’s nuts back in the day. By the standards of our current 55C3 the PQ was awful. I’d accept that that sort of improvement is more than incremental, but then so have been the improvements generally over the last decade and a half.

We have little Samsungs in the kitchen and bedroom, each 10-12yrs old, but there we’re constrained by space so they get a reprieve. Our main TV’s we tend to replace every 7 or 8yrs and freecycle the old ones to family.
