Thought I'd post this up for people to post what they're looking to buy or post great deals they come across.

I notice Argos has started the "Black Friday discount". Thought its only £50 off max on most thing!

Things I'm looking for during the sale:

* 55" 4k TV
* Alexa Firestick (so I can use IPVanish on there)
* Sound system

I'm in the same boat, been looking for a while but my recent house reno has crippled my tech budget badly. Basically going to be looking out for any decent 49-55" deals and jumping on them. Just need to identify a 4K TV with dolby pass through for Sonos sound bar and reasonably low lag for the gaming but in the 500-700 quid range. I'll post up what I found of interest.

Currys have some decent deals on Samsung soundbars, the HW-MS650 with the rear speaker kit is £499.

I'm hoping to get either the below tbh. Both cheap as cheaps but that's all I want! Because I'm cheap

Im tempted by the 6800 hisense, also like the look of the Panasonic ex700 but in 50". I am struggling to work out if either support dolby pass through for my sound bar though.

I'm after a 55" for upto £800 and looking to get a Samsung 55MU7000 in the next week or so but they are currently £949 so hoping for a deal. Tempted by the Hisense and can probably get the 65" 6800 with discounts but the Samsung is apparently much better.

After my mate said he picked up a PS4 from John Lewis for £150 I'm on the look out for something similar, preferably a PS4 pro though.

Very have a 49” 4K HDR Samsung curved tv for £499.

PapaLazaru · 16 Nov 2017 at 21:23

Maybe some headphones but it need to be a stonking deal for me to bite and an upgrade from HD650's.

I'm on the hunt for a ~50" TV with a VA, 120hz panel for £800 max. Chances!?

The deal for getting "£200 off the marked price when bought with any TV" isn't working for me, and keeps aying the code isn't valid.

Ryan-3 · 17 Nov 2017 at 08:35

Nevermind, it just worked.

Currently looking at Sony's 4k Blu ray player (X800) due to the rave reviews it gets for sound, and the wide range of formats supported.

ArchAnGeL · 17 Nov 2017 at 08:46

Bose Soundtouch 30 (wife's xmas, her choice)
£347 is current best I see

Jamauk · 17 Nov 2017 at 10:15

I'm waiting to see what deals there are on the Apple Watch, I nearly bought one yesterday and thought I'd wait and see what deals The Apple Store and John Lewis are doing.

the same x800 that does not support dolby vision and will be used as a doorstop in Sony HQ come CES in January ?

caveat emptor!!

Ryan-3 · 17 Nov 2017 at 11:11

Yeah, that's why I didn't order one and currently still thinking about whether to buy now or wait till the next ones are released.

£300 for that bundle is a pretty awesome deal!

Ryan-3 · 17 Nov 2017 at 13:13

That's the thing. If the next one is a tiniest of spec jumps with a shiny new case, they'll try and charge at least £100 more.

I wouldn't get an MU7000. They're quite overpriced this year. Last year, the KS7000 offered quantum dot, this year the 7000 doesn't have it. Bit cheeky

I think the Hisense stuff offers better value for money.

Already bought myself an XB1 S 1TB as it came with a few games for £230. It might be cheaper but the hassle of trying to get hold of one...

Looking for a 49-55 inch TV for the bedroom/living room for 350 ish. Only need it to be 1080P. Local classifieds are well over priced. Bought a second hand F8000 55 inch for 290 a year ago!
