    I did a removal for a guy the other week, massive TV into a narrow room, sofa about 4 feet away from it!! Talk about immersive experience.

    I bought a 55" by mistake it looked so stupid & because it was so big the picture looked shit. I got a 42" now which is ok but anything bigger in a real world living room is uncalled for.

    Gary's one is 60 odd I think and it's truly impressive but his toom is fairly minimal and modern.
    Mine is olden in style so too bight might not be great. Tbh I really could do with bigger as eyesight isn't as good, but I agree 40 ish is probably the ideal for normal rooms. Mind you with no real bezels now the bigger tvs don't take up any more room

    My partner has been pestering me for months now to get a 'smart' TV, so she can watch YouTube etc., as well as all the usual crap available.

    Well today I relented and ordered an LG 43" Smart Full HD HDR LED TV. LG have a pretty good reputation, so I hope I have chosen wisely.

    Not that LG aren't good mate (they are), but I thought you'd have gone for a Sony?

    Anyway, as a technophobe, you've got the fun to look forward to of connecting it successfully to your network... It should be a piece of piss, though.

    Oh, and when set up, you'll be able to use it to view the forum, quelle joie!

    Marco.

    P.S Next she'll want the sound to come through the Quads (or some other speakers where the TV is), it's only a matter of time

    Sony aren’t what they once were in the world of TV’s, LG are probably world leaders in flat panel technology at the moment, Sony don’t even make screens anymore it’s all bought in tech which at most they assemble and write the software, a shame really as Sony made some truly superb TV in years gone by.

    Well it was a bit of a punt and a simple matter of expediency. The new TV will be to replace the 37" (?) 'un-smart' TV in her place, which will be moved into the bedroom (!)

    My Sony HD telly may or may not be "smart" (in fact, I don't really know exactly what a 'smart TV' is), save some of the channels it can receive come via a wi-fi link to the BT broadband hub. For example, should I subscribe, to Netflix. TV catch-up via iPlayer will be more convenient than using my computer or laptop.

    I have never had a TV in the same room as my audio system, and that is not about to change. So there will be no connection to the Quads, despite strong hints! The TV is upstairs and audio enhancement is provided by a pair of B&W DM2a speakers, powered by a Quad 520 amplifier. I'm strictly 2.0.

    If your set does not come with the LG smart remote it is worth buying one. It adds voice control to the smart functions which is much easier than using the on screen menu for searching.
