Hi Guys, carrying on from another thread i started......How to add a 4k firestick to old plasma tv that has no hdmi.
I have decided to buy a new tv , probably from RS, as they do 6yr guarantee, probably Samsung..seem to be one of the best?...but what model...I was hoping for something around £500 to £1000...do i really need to spend more?.the wall where tv will hang is 155cm wide....so that size of tv is my limit.
4K Fire stick and freeview box will be my only connections.
Thanks

Doesn't have to be RS, just thought the 6yr guarantee was good that they do.
Thanks

Samsung are overpriced and under performing this year. Cant compete with OLED if your room suits one, and it sounds like it does.
