I'd like a good quality TV but don't have very high end requirements. Do I have any good options? The constraints are: the space the TV will go in is a bit of an alcove, the distance on the left is limited so the screen can't be very big. I think a 43" would be the max really. On top of that while it will be used for watching movies the Internet connection will likely be quite slow so I will prob be bringing with me on a drive from home (and then playing through a computer with HDMI 1.4) so the content will be HD and I can't envisage 4k really ever happening. So, are there decent 43" 1080p options? I've had Panasonic and Sony TVs I've liked in the last few years. how is this one? https://www.galaxus.ch/de/s1/product/sony-kdl-43wf665-43-full-hd-lcd-tv-7952020?tagIds=538 NB I am in Switzerland so only mainstream brands are available

I guess the non-stupid thing to do would be take the 40" full HD TV out to the mountains and get a new one for the city. I like the sound of OLED and we have an Apple TV 4k (and a 10Gb internet connection) so should be able to make use of it? Don't want to go too crazy but these look OK? https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/sony-kd55ag8-55-4k-android-os-oled-television-10658720?tagIds=538

Yes they're bigger and need more cables but the sound, particularly voices, you get out of something with a 5" or bigger woofer is entirely superior to all soundbars. It's just physics Do you have any specific recs for these?

PRADA SLUT posted:Question about connecting a B&O BeoSound Stage to an LG OLED55B6P I have a Sony rather than LG, but the Stage just switches to the TV automatically when switched on. If you connect through Chromecast the TV switches off. It's connected to the ARC socket of the TV and isn't doing HDMI signal pass through. Doesn't look like there's anything specific to this in the B&O app. Maybe there's a TV setting.

I'm in the market for a new TV, it's replacing a 40" Panasonic that has done well but is too small nowadays. The space it's going in will take a 55" but I think a 65 will be too big. I've ended up with some vouchers for an electronics shop and have narrowed it down to either a LG C3 or a Sony A95K. https://www.mediamarkt.ch/de/product/_lg-oled55c37la-2179569.html https://www.mediamarkt.ch/de/product/_sony-xr-55a95k-2124400.html It's pretty much just going to be used to watch movies on, will be plugged into a PC initially but I think ultimately a Mac Mini. What's the better one of these options? Or other TV from that shop if you can be bothered to look. I don't want a Samsung as I've had various poo poo products from them in the past and am fed up with them.

Existing TV as you can see is much too small (this appears to be a Nazi documentary I was watching when I took the photo???)  Had a new media thing made which is very nice and Not Too Tall

incogneato posted:Are you sure a 65" would be too large? It's hard to tell from the photos, but it looks to me like a distance and space that you wouldn't regret going larger if your budget allows. A 65 would physically fit in the space, but because of where the alcove is it would be shifted too far over to the right from where you view it. Also it would upset my girlfriend who is a bit anti-massive-TVs

mrfart posted:Hello goons. Idk why people are being a bit unhelpful but agree a budget would be good. Depending on the store they are probably sending bad video signals to the TVs or have them set up badly. Current ones have amazing picture quality, especially OLED screens. How do you plan on getting media to the TV? 3.5m is a decent distance and if you have the space I'd go for a 65in+ screen.

For my own part the TV I ordered is showing as "signed, delivered" in the tracker, but when I look for the consignment directly it's giving an invalid number error. Obviously there is no way to speak to anyone. gently caress!

Spoke to the post office who confirm the TV was delivered and signed for, the shop replied to my enquiry saying delivery was complete, see the attached documents (nothing was attached). So I think someone did manage to intercept the delivery of the TV. Incredible.

SamDabbers posted:Check if the credit card you used to purchase the TV provides purchase protection. Some cards will reimburse you for theft within a short period after purchase. Yeah will do. I bought it on an Amex which I got in case something goes wrong with a transaction. Swiss credit cards generally offer quite poo poo protection from fraud.

You're going to be looking at this thing frequently and for a long time. Dust off your wallet and get a 65in LG OLED

Right so this sounds like a dumb question but should I care about getting a 4k 120hz signal into this TV? The existing TV has a mini PC which has worked well serving up 1080 content to it, I was planning on maybe getting a mac mini to plug into this one, but now I see it has 120hz refresh rate. To make use of that I would need a mac mini pro... which is twice as expensive. Is there any real rationale for doing that? 90% of the time this is going to be used for watching movies and sports. On the other hand it feels wrong to have a high refresh rate screen and not be able to use it.

Maybe not quite what you're asking but the Dassault Rafale has something similar, maybe you could get one of them?

Is there no "screen off" button? Idk about LG but on the Sonys (Sonies ?) you can turn off the picture with 2 presses

What do you think would cause such an issue and how much of a bother would it be to fix for them? How much Viagra are they taking?

Cabbages and Kings posted:this feels like the wrong thread for poo poo like this but I thought someone here might be able to point me to any sort of "retro displays and display tech" superthread that might exist elsewhere, surely there's a 300 page thing of goons comparing Trinitron models somewhere. Check out the "obsolete and failed technology" thread in PYF as well, it's a good one.
