What is your TV size and screen type?
 

What's your main TVs screen type and approx size?

LED TV screen type added to the bottom of the poll.

Let's discuss.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

55 inch LG B5 OLED UHD. 6 years old now and showing its age a bit but still a fantastic TV.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

42" Sony Bravia smart TV. 1080 LED backlit TFT LCD. Nearly 10 years old but still a cracking picture. Sited in the bay window at about 2 feet stand.

Sound backed up with a 100Watt subwoofer.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Samsung Neo QLED(mini led) 55 inch, just bought it and definitely no regrets it gives a top end OLED a run for it's money.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Sony Bravia KD-49X8309C 49" 4K 100hz Smart TV running Android - 7 years old and still going strong.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

You missed off simple 'LED'.
I could only add it to the bottom.

We have two main TV's ;

LG 50 inch 4K UHD HDR Smart NanoCell LED TV (2.5 years old)
Samsung 48-inch Full HD Quad Core Wi-Fi Smart 3D LED TV (9 years old)

The older Samsung actually gets used more atm.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Main TV which hardly ever gets used is a 55 inch Panny Led
My Monitor which is used all the time is OLED ultrawide Alienware

Thanks, I'm also sure there will be missing poll options for our American member!

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

There is a theory about the inverse relationship between the size of the TV screen and the the size of the intellect. I don't subscribe to it of course ;)

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

22" LED.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

There’s a theory about the inverse relationship between continuous moaning about modern technologies which provide enhanced abilities to access a greater range of high quality media and the size of prefrontal cortex, but I don’t subscribe to it, of course… ;)

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Theres also one about the inverse relationship between the amount of troll comments from a member and their intellect, I do subscribe to it. ;)

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Mines 40" iirc, don't watch it much, in fact I think I had it on for a day or two when I had covid and before that it was Cheltenham festival, other than that it's not been on this year

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Brain fade error! It's a 32" :dunce:

43" Sony's in the bedrooms and 32" Sony's in the office, kitchen and garage (gym).

All TV's are running Android.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

I didn’t realise we were doing all screens…

Our bedroom - 32" LG LED with Fire Stick
Son’s/2nd Bedroom - 42" Toshiba LED with Fire Stick
Upstairs office - 34" curved Gigabyte monitor for PC gaming

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Until I won the 48" OLED we had a 28" CRT that did fine. My wife sits around 1m from the set and I am about 3m away. The CRT was given away to someone who wanted a set for their kids Playstation 1. I would have kept the CRT as long as it worked, given how well CRT's work that could have been decades.

I have 3 CRTs.. 2 are in my room and 1 is in the basement right now (My commodore 64 monitor)

1) My computer monitor is 17"
2) My TV is 15" I think Im not sure.....
3) My Commodore monitor is the smallest at 13" I think......

I dont like really big screens,those are for movie theaters :)

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

They really aren't for theatres.

You can't possibly see much on a 14/15" the TV in my bedroom in 1992 was a 14" CRT. The last CRT I owned was 32" and that was 2002.

Even my PC monitor is 27"

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Maybe one day you will get a nice screen or a set of glasses. Lol

Well to me these are nice buddy :)

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

They were nice once but technology improves and moves on.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Indeed. My Sony Bravia replaced a 28" Philips FST CRT set with frame store and 100Hz refresh. This was about as good as the old technology got.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

In some ways, but sound on modern tvs isn't as good, presumably due to them being thin. Not everyone wants sound bars or home theatre systems cluttering up the place

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

I had a full A/V amp and 5.1 set up but went to a soundboard and sub same brand and range as my Samsung QLED. Means I can add wireless surround speakers and it also adds in the TV speakers in what Samsung call QSymphony.

The TV does actually have decent sound on its own as the speakers are behind the screen and not below. So big sound come right at you. Decent bass on them too.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Yes always best to get a separate soundbar it's helped me alot with my dodgy hearing.

Same here with my new setup it also uses Qsymphony I don't want to add separate rears though it'll annoy the neighbour for sure as it's so peaceful where I live and I don't want to hear other people's noise.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

I have a Samsung series 7, which I bought in 2018. It has a 4K LCD panel which is still great. However, it was designed at a point when streaming apps were considered an add-on rather than the device’s principal function, and as we now receive all our TV over IP (both broadcast and on-demand streaming) it suffers a little from a lack of onboard memory. Apps take a while to start up (some are worse than others) and occasionally Prime and Paramount will refuse to play a show. You have to reboot the TV to make them work. I suspect this is because they have given Netflix preferential treatment and it never seems to quite quit running in the background even when you ask it to.

I suspect we will end up replacing it by this time next year but it is likely to be apps grinding to a halt or refusing to update rather than panel quality that will be the reason.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

You can fix your streaming app issue with a 4K Firestick rather than replacing the TV.

But if you want a new and better TVas a quality of life thing spread over several years of usage to spread the cost I highly recommend a top end Mini LED QLED TV if you are like me and decided to avoid the negatives of an OLED.

I hope ya dont have to Chris,I hope stuff stays happy for ya!!

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Even though I have a 'smart' TV I find it too clunky to use the TV's own apps so never bother with them. I tend to just stick with the firestick, the V6's apps/channels, Chromecast or use the PC wired into the the AV / TV.

My TV is a 48inch LED, as it's on a corner unit anything bigger would mean it would have to be brought too forward to fit the corner and just wouldn't work for us.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Since getting my 55in Samsung QN95C Mini LED TV, I've found I use the built in apps for Apple TV, Disney and Amazon Prime and they currently work great, I still have to use my Firestick Max for BeeTV though.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

My main TV is a Samsung 40", I connect my Sony VAIO to a Samsung 32" 3DTV, My dad has a LG 28" and I have a LG 22" in my room.


I have a Samsung 19" which I use when I connect my Samsung Netbook to a TV.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Yup, we had a firestick on our previous non-smart TV and it was OK but I never liked the way Amazon designed the interface to prefer its own content. I also never liked Amazon’s approach to software updates which rendered the thing obsolete far too quickly for my liking. It began running like an old dog and when I came to smarten up the kids’ bedroom TVs I chose Roku rather than Amazon for that reason. I very much dislike forced obsolescence as a sales strategy.

I have to say that I really, really like the app ecosystem Samsung operates. The main streaming players have all been available from day one as they have launched over the past 5 years; often they have auto-downloaded. Samsung hamstrung themselves with their inadequate onboard memory and for a while the TV couldn’t even download its own software updates due to lack of memory, but they seem to have found a workaround and that hasn’t glitched for a year or more now.

And for me the biggest attraction is not having multiple remote controls all over the place. I haven’t missed having the Freesat STB and its remote cluttering the space and I’d be reluctant to add an external streaming player that bulked my setup up again (yes I know the player is all but invisible round the back of the TV but we’re still back to having one doofah just to switch the TV on, then another one to do the smart stuff).

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

You don't need multiple remotes these days.

The smart remote that came with my Samsung also works the Firestick and Virginmedia box and maybe even navigate the Playstation menus out of the box.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

I'm the same with my 55" Q80T. Samsung Tizen OS works great on the TV and the apps load fast and work great. I prefer the built in apps over the Sky Q box ones. They are slower chunkier and I don't get HDR of the Sky apps.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Oh to have a Samsung smart remote ;)

Our TV shipped in 2018 with a standard remote. I expect our next one will be smart, but to get one we’d be swapping the TV, so … :D

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

I love my Samsung smart remote. Never need to use my actual Sky remote anymore just the smart one. Also got the TV set up with Alexa. So can turn the telly on and off with a simple voice command. Helpful when coming home at night. Got the living room lights attached to a routine so it all comes on when I come home.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

I also got a standard remote with it, but I've not really used it, what's interesting is the Smart remote is solar powered, which is good until the internal battery can't hold a charge any longer.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

I got mine the year before the solar remote started as my uncle liked my TV so much he bought one the year after and got the solar remote. Same, I never use the normal one. Smart is better too as its bluetooth.

Re: What is your TV size and screen type?
 

Not if you're Amish or Dude, if you're one of them it doesn't :)

No no they exist :)
