4k TV buying advice needed

MannyS · 14 Aug 2018 at 21:39

I'm looking to purchase a 4k TV for my living room - it will be used for watching sports, Netflix and gaming. My budget is £1500. I've been looking around and the LG OLED55B7V looks like it may be a good choice?

Could do with some advice!

richer sounds selling for £1299, cant go wrong imo, only thing I noticed is the screen is a bit glossy so if you have a window behind you it may be an issue, other wise the b7's are very good

forgot to add that was with 6 year guarantee

Yeah think I may just bite the bullet and get it - what soundbar/surround sound system do you have if any?

Didn't bother, I've been quite impressed with the speakers

Depends if you want surround / stereo speakers or a Soundbar . The new sonus beam gets good reviews at £400.

unless your planning on sticking sonus throughout your whole house, it's usually better to buy something else.

Well its got good reviews I'm nearly ready on my stereo setup of marantz 6006 UK edition amp with b&w 685 v2 speakers. But looking for a Soundbar for different listening occasions.

so did the previous more expensive playbar.

however i have listened to one at my mates house and it pales in comparison to a £400-£600 soundbar from yamaha

I did try a naim muso Just too much bass for a glass shelf. Loved it otherwise. Ideally I'm buying through Very. They don't do yamaha.

samsungs come highly rated even more so than yamaha, however they aren't all in 1 soundbars when you get high end they have wireless rear speakers, wireless sub's, etc. if not them then sony i believe are highly rated now as well.

Thinking of getting the SJ9 Sound Bar, seen some really good reviews for it when used with the LG B7, it's a bit pricey at £400 - is it worth it?

I now have the Sonos Beam and it’s great!

Though I have other Sonos products so it made sense for me.
