Hi

My in-law wants a new TV, he's rather impulsive and stubborn being 75 but he's seen an lg49lf640 in Argos and was going to buy it for £850 but I told him to hang on whilst I look at alternatives.

I'm dubious of the lg as I think it's an Argos specific model so basically what should he get? Does he need 4k? Nope but he wants it :p

Not really looked in to 4k TV's so unsure myself. No bigger than 50".

Cheers

He seems to really like the lg so I've seen the LG 49UF770v in Costco for £880 with a blu ray player and they do 5 year warranty's too. Seems OK?

Yer just read that review actually so I'm leaning more to the Sammy. He's got lg in his head for one reason or another, did I mention he was stubborn? :p

My dad is 76 & more stubborn than a Mule.

Funnily enough we went to buy him a new telly in JL a couple of months ago, we were looking at 40" Panasonics.

There were only 2 models they had in stock at the time & he insisted on buying the more expensive model, despite the fact that he would not get the benefit of its features & I told him this. I gave up in the end, he bought it because he liked the picture quality better :rolleyes:
 
Why the rolly eyes ? end of the day he prefered the PQ, he will be watching it 99% of the time, and he's probably happy, which would be better then buying a set he didn't like and then hating it more at home.
 
The LG has local dimming where the Samsung doesn't. Bah just wish there were some reviews but it's so new.

The price difference was £200, the cheaper one was 1080p & the one he bought is 4K. He watches SD freeview channels & DVD's on it. I have to change the TV channel to HD for him if he is watching the SD channel equivalent instead. A 40" 4K telly to watch mainly SD content is like a broken pencil - Pointless. :p
