What TV to buy
I am looking to buy a 55" LED TV has anyone got any recommendations. I currently have a 42" LG which I am impressed with, Any thoughts …….?
I recently bought a 48 inch smart TV, it’s a Panasonic. And I am very pleased with it, especially that I can watch You Tube on it to name one. Picture quality is outstanding, prices have come down considerably on TV’s. Think I paid £300 for it
Forgot to mention I got it from AO.com
A couple of years or so ago we got a new LED TV and in the shop (!) the Samsung looked the best. I know things move on so the currnt best may be different. Though to be fair none were bad by any means. If you can get the chance to compare it would be worthwhile.
Yeah, am looking at Samsung too. Many thanks

There are recommendations which relate the size of the screen to intended viewing distance. Here is one such chart
Thank you, that was very helpful.
We bought a 49" Samsung TV 3 1/2 years ago. We looked at several different makes and models, it was a choice between a flat screen and a curved screen, we thought the curved picture was slightly better and the sales blurb suggested that it had a wider viewing angle for the audience and was liable to less reflections than the flat one. Very happy with it 
but there are noticeable reflections.
Also I was unable to connect my expensive and comfortable AKG wired headphones, bluetooth only.

Interesting, I use headphones 80% of the time. My wife can only take so much of Police Interceptors....... 😮

My wife has hearing problems - especially with English language programmes. Her headphones are independent of the volume I listen at and she can adjust the volume in her headphones to a level that would be intolerable for normal listening through the soundbar, which I use. Perfect for when we watch together.
Yes, fully agree, a sound bar makes a tremendous difference. Evem a cheaper one like the ABox I bought makes a difference.
Just ordered a Philips telly with 'ambilight' - LED's on the rear of the casing cast a glow onto the wall behind refelecting whatever's on the screen at the time. Supposed to be easier on the eyes. Thought it might be a gimmick, thought we'd give it a go anyway because how bad could the picture be, anyway? - turns out one of the guys at my work has one and rates it highly, and another has just bought one too. We're currently waiting.
It's an option...... Will check it out.
