    Hi I am looking for a smart TV with the following specification:
    • Optical output for sound (Toslink) for connection to Bose sound system (I already have this)
    • Minimum of 3 HDMI inputs at the back of the TV
    • Built in Freesat or Freeview and Saorview tuners
    • Netflix
    • Built in LAN connection (I prefer this to wifi, network point installed)
    • 1080P backlit LED
    • Excellent picture quality


    Sound quality is not important as the Bose unit will be used. 

    Budget €500

    Can go a bit higher for the right TV. 
    Ex-display or open box would be acceptable. 

    Ideally the TV would be 47" but anything between 43 and 49" would be considered. 


    Thanks

    Hi 2011,

    Apologies for the delay getting back to you.

    I would probably recommend the Sony KDL43WD751 based on your requirements:

    http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/sony/bravia-kdl43wd751/sony-kdl43wd751bu

    It is slightly more than your budget (569.99 Euro) but is definitely one of the best for picture and features at that size and price before going to 4K. Have a look and let me know what you think.

    Kind Regards

    David

    Thanks, looks like a good TV. 
    I will get back to you shortly. 

    What options if I wanted to go a bit bigger ? 
    Any open box / ex-display deals ?

    Thanks.

    Hi 2011,

    Sorry for the delay getting back to you. The only open box TVs I would have at the minute would be large premium TVs or small budget TVs. That Sony is available in a 49" as well. You would be looking 679 Euro for that one. There is also a 49 inch Samsung available:

    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-202092-ue49k5500.aspx

    This TV is a little bit cheaper at 599 Euro but wouldn't have as good a picture as the Sony.

    I hope this information has been useful.

    Many thanks

    David

    When we went to purchase this we were told that this only has 2 HDMI inputs. As per my first post we require 3. Can you offer a TV that matches the required specifications? Thanks

    Hi 2011,

    Apologies about that! Last years model had three and I assumed this years did as well! Apologies for the inconvenience. As per our phonecall I'll check on other models and see what I can find.

    Hi 2011.

    Apologies its been crazy at this end.

    There are very few other 43" screens. Samsung and Pana drop to a 40.

    Sony also do the 43W805 but your up to around 649.99 euro with 4 HDMI.
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-201395-bravia-kdl43w805cbu.aspx

    There is still also the 49" Samsung mentioned above.

    I do actually have one of the following which is Ex-display, 43LH604 @ 499.99 Euro (Inc 6 year guarantee).
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-201910-43lh604v.aspx#tabSpecifications-tab

    This has been changed to an in-store only collection due to the price drop but I could delivery this one for £6.99 to try and help you out with the lack of TV.

    I have seen a 43LH604V-ZB and 43LH590V-ZD (both LG). What is the difference with the LG you are offering ?

    Thanks.

    Hi 2011,

    Again apologies for the delay getting back to you. I was off yesterday and it has been madness in store! Those LG TVs are good too! The LH604 is a much better TV for all the difference in price. It (definitely) has 3 HDMI ports as well as an updated smart hub and a much faster motion processing rate at 900PMI (I believe the other was around 200PMI).

    It would be on par with the Sony at that size.

    Let me know what you think.

    Many thanks

    David
