Wow, do such things exist? It was only a couple years ago a 46" FullHD TV cost £700.

I'm hoping substance painter will be on sale

That was a bit daft really, it was pretty much a given that Amazon were going to reduce them for Black Friday! Decided to grab a Dot as well, for £35 it'd be handy to have one upstairs as well

He’s a 60 year old bloke, Black Friday confuses him lol

I got a 40” 4K Samsung for £270 last year but I/it broke when I moved house

Surely there is no merit in such a small screen being curved!

 

[subbytna]

I wouldn't say 49" was a small screen....

I’ll rephrase - Shirley there is no benefit for having a curved screen at that size. That’s for 60” plus, Shirley.

 

[subbytna]

...don't call me Shirley

Surely...too

More of a gimmick then you think for a curve screen and that size?

 

[Tone1979]

I am looking for a 4k TV. Something around the 50"-55"

After 10 years my Sharp 40" has started to play up. If I see something good come up I will pounce but don't really want to spend much more than about £7-800.

I think so.

For what it’s worth, I have 4K 49” TV and apparently that’s too small to tell the difference between 1080p and 4K... although I swear I can tell the difference... just

If you are going for a new TV, don’t forget about HDR.

My TV was a Samsung KS8000 I believe, which cost just less than £1000 a year ago. Its great in all ways EXCEPT for light blooming, which is virtually unavoidable on non-OLED TVs. If you watch credits at the end of the film, the is a subtle white glow around the white text. Most of the time this is irrelevant though - it doesn’t make any material difference when watching the vast majority of films / playing games. Otherwise it’s great - wish I went for 55” though!

Look at the reviews for the Samsung KS8000 I mentioned, might be what you’re looking for.

I'm keeping my eye out for a 144hz super wide 34+ inch

I'll be after a VPN renewal on Cyber Monday & maybe an M.2 SSD if I find a good offer.

 

[photoshop]

Need 8x Philips Hue GU10 whites and 2x B22 whites and a Hub

 

[EGuitarStar]

Have rarely found anything useful on the Black Friday sales.

Purchased a Panasonic LX100 lastronomy week. I know this won't be on the offer as Pana have a rebate anyway.

Typically, I've found dead the sales after Christmas to be better.

Those of you after a new TV, I picked up a high end Samsung 1080p TV from RS for less than £350 with a 5 year warranty. But did wa it until early January to buy.

 

[Ace Modder]

Last year I got a 65" 4k Curved SAMSUNG TV for £999

That was a great BF deal at the time.

The Nord VPN three years deal for £75 seems pretty impressive. I have been trialling their service for the last few days and the speeds are more than comparable with AirVPN.
