Looking for a new TV for Mrs H and have seen a Hisense 50" TV for a good price. I am a bit nervous as it's made in China and I don't believe there is sufficient history to know about product longevity.
It looks good in the shop with an HD feed. I am not sure what LED backlighting it has though.
The other option is a 43" LG with direct LED backlighting (supposedly the best). Which would you go for and why? Should I forget 4K UHD and just get a HD TV?
She currently uses my Sony 32" LED TV, so either of the above would be a step up. The TV will be fed by a HD satellite decoder. It makes me think that "4K" will be a waste of time and as the satellite feed has only just gone HD, a 4K feed is likely to be a long way off.
We don't use it for watching movies, just general TV.
I am tempted to get a 40" Sony 200Hz smart TV for about €150 less. Would this be a mistake?
