Sony A9 Master Series KE48A9 OLED winging its way to Marco Towers!

65 inch Sony all the way for me. Has been away for a warranty repair and still going strong after 6 years. Just enjoying a watch review on YouTube.

Other half’s still using my old 55” Samsung, about 10 years old.

Enjoy your new gogglebox Marco.

Did you notice I now have an 'Old Charm' coffee table? Bought locally dirt cheap and very appropriate for a late 40's built council 'ouse

Did similar a few years ago, bought a 55” Bravia previous years’ model from Argos. Still going strong and great picture once I’d set it up with a file I got from a Sony forum.

bought a 50'' Sony in 2007 gave it to a friend when I upgraded to 55'' it's still going 14 years on, his son has it in his bedroom, only repair its had was an internal fuse replacing.

It was an old school 'Made in Japan' one though, which is why I bought it in the first place over a made in Malaysia Philips.

Lol - I have now! It's the gentleman's choice, sir, innit?

Marco.

P.S Lovin' the new avatar - that expression on yer chops is priceless!

May I suggest a caption for it? 'Ah Betty, it's you.. I'd recognise that beard anywhere!'

Yeah, that's probably what made the difference. They'll all be churned out now in Taiwan or Malaysia. Of course, this is considered as 'progress'!

It's certainly not progress for the consumer, who values quality and longevity in the products they've bought!

Nice purchase, Marco.

When mum needed a new TV a couple of years back I went for a 43” Sony Bravia for her and was blown away by the picture quality. It knocked our then 4 year old 55” Samsung into a cocked hat and prompted our own subsequent upgrade!

Still got it, funnily enough, as my sister didn’t want it when mum died. For the money it’s worth now, I’d rather keep it as a spare than sell it for a pittance.

Cheers, Adam. As I said, it's ultimately about personal taste. I'm sure that there are plenty of Samsung, LG and Panasonic users (among others) who swear by their sets!

Like you (and Roy, etc) I just find the colours and overall picture quality on Sony TVs represent more of what I consider as 'right', compared with that on products from other manufacturers. Plus, and this is also important for me, Sony TVs (and most of their other products) usually tend to have a bit more style about them.

Not that I'll be using the metal stand that comes with this TV, as it'll be wall mounted, but it's beautifully made, as is the remote control, and all of that just adds to the pride of ownership

Or 'Open wide & say arse'
