Are there any 46” 4K TVs knocking about ?

[Antx777]

good evening.

I had a Samsung es8000 3D tv from 5 years ag and its breaking down on me (garbled screen/reboots etc)

Now, I’m looking for a new tv , but cant see any 4K ones at this size which is ideal for my lounge. 43/49/55 and upwards seem to be the only choice. Anybody seen any 46” screens as 43 is a wee bit small with 55 being too big. ‍


Thanks.

Tony.

Hi,

47" - Metz Topas 47 UHD Media Twin R for 1,486 euro;
48" - many from Panasonic, Grundig, JVC, Telefunken, Samsung.
for example:
Panasonic TX-48AXW634
Panasonic TX-48CXW404

49" - a lot more.

Thanks. I’ll google them up tonight and see what’s what. Ill probably get a good one, as will last a few years hopefully.

Just a side topic: is it possible to put my hard drive full of recordings (and valuable ones) in to another tv ? As I hear Samsung TVs, once you format the drive, can only be used on that tv itself.?

Thanks.

46" 4k probably the worst combo

I don't know - why would a TV lock a HDD to itself alone and not for example, for the brand or all its siblings?
This is the first time I hear about this potential issue.
Like a guess - maybe it depends on which file type these recordings are on the HDD.

Why's this?

Just got for a 49", some actually good TVs at that size. Any smaller you're into budget territory or sub-par HDR performance. The HDD MIGHT be a problem, depending on what the content is. It is actually possible to record protected content which cannot be replayed on another TV though it's very rare in the UK.

I bought a Samsung hdd with prebuilt films that only work on Samsung tvs. You can record normal TV tho
