I'm sure budget is a factor. I'm not willing to pay thousands, but maybe if I got the following covered for the €3,000 mark:
screen, sound, DVD/BluRay player.
.
I think that's an outrageous amount of money to spend on a TV, you don't need anything close to taht We have an excellent flat screen TV, very large, and it cost a lot less than 1K. It has HD is all I know and works perfectly, Phillips. And of course they is a new HD called something else but no idea how that could be any better and I saw a curved TV in a shop recently.
Don't buy a smart TV. I did and it's a waste of money. Just get Apple TV or Chromecast or something like that.
One person's outrageous is another's cheap as chips. All depends what you want to use it for. If it's just Fair City and the like, then any old TV will do the job, but if you watch a lot of movies or sport, then many will appreciate a better picture quality. I consider paying €1400 for one of the last Panasonic plasmas off the line a great deal, but that's just me, and I wouldn't touch any recent Phillips, as their quality has gone downhill since they outsourced all the manufacturing.
Don't see how spending more money gets you anything better.
Your LED is actually a LED backlit LCD. Plasma was a far superior technology, just more expensive to manufacture, so didn't survive the drive towards bigger/ cheaper.It's Led
The other brilliant thing about it is that Phillips have a remote control so simple I am able to do the following;
Volume
Channels
And switch to the sky box by using two buttons. Called 'source' and then Hdm1.
Take a look in Power City as well. You could try play one against the other to get a better deal.
We have a home in the sticks a similar situation but the 3Mb connection and it is fine for Netflix, YouTube and Xbox Video. SkyGo and RTE player can be a bit ropey at times for streaming and the download of rental movies is pretty slow so you have to plan an hour or so ahead to download HD movie.Internet connection is rural, only 3.5 meg. I wouldn't be relying totally on YouTube, etc.
Have been using the laptop and iPhone for occasional viewing, but these really are personal devices and not appropriate for more that a couple of viewers.
No Power City in Munster.
