Hi guys,

Looking for a new TV to replace my old Samsung 42".

Doesn't need to have any of the smart functions but I see that is pretty much standard now anyway. Not fussed if it has 3d etc also!

I think 50" and above will be perfect, could consider a 48" if it is going to be really good!

Looking to spend up to £750!

Cheers
 
I have forwarded the suggestion to my dad who need's the TV, knowing him he may go the John Lewis route due to price! but will try get him to go in store and compare if possible!
 
I have just got back from uni and my dad has now said he wants to get the TV sorted after he never did a few months back.

Going to go to JL tonight, the Sony still the one to go for?

it didn't get reviewed very highly.

in fact it doesn't sound good at all but then you have to appreciate they reviewed it at £1500 march last year

for £700 it could be a bargain, does it come with the 5 year warranty? then even more so. keep it for a year then complain about the backlight uniformity issues and shallow blacks. They won't have another model to replace it and it's an impossible fix. They will then need to replace it with a 55" tv with all the same extras and it's a flagship model so likely the only other set that matches it will be high end.

Yeah I did read that very briefly on my phone whilst in the shop but my parents wanted to leave ASAP!

It has the full 5 year warranty and as you say he said they will simply replace it with the flagship model of that year that you claim so I think it is a good deal all round.

I have to say I know nothing about TV's but the picture on this compared with the W8 was basically the same so my dad just went with the fact it was cheaper!
 
3D will never be used so not too fussed about that. I have just had a quick google and just seen that. It is 5% off though on TV's over £500 unfortunately.

Unfortunately that was the best that could be done, it had only just gone on sale according to the print out on the tag so maybe that's why they were hesitating to knock off more. My dad has been a salesman and market trader in the past so not a stranger to bartering but the manager wouldn't budge!

The TV is sat in the lounge so it is too cancel! However it is still in the packaging as we haven't sorted out the old one etc.

I will talk to my dad and see what he says, considering the little saving possible at Currys that knocks it down to the W955 price, he may return the W955 but its doubtful as that one is now in the lounge and its a bit of a faff to return and then go buy the other!
 
Yeah if I am going to get a TV from anywhere it will be JL. Haven't spoke to my dad yet but its likely he will keep the W955 simply so he doesnt have to deal with taking it back etc. Will update if he does though.
Thanks for all the help and advice guys.
