    Hello,
    I'm looking to upgrade my 8yo TV, it's a 32" HD ready (I don't think it's full HD). I'm looking for a 32 - 43" full HD, 4K optional - don't view much in that yet, but it is the future! Also then a soundbar to go with it. My budget is a fairly tight €500 with delivery to Wicklow. I'm not a brand snob looking for the best bang for my buck. Oh, and the TV would need minimum 3 HDMI ports.

    Thank you,
    Casher

    Hey Casher.

    One of the best value for money televisions at the minute would be the LG 43UJ630 priced at £369 or 399 Euro,.

    Or the ever popular Samsung 40MU6120 coming in at £349.00
    http://www.richersounds.ie/p-202889-400033.aspx?swapstore=1

    For a sound bar there is the Steljes ERATO priced at £129.00 (Wireless subwoofer and plenty of connections).

    Thanks, very tempted with the LG at that price. Have to go home & measure my stand, I read somewhere that the legs are 83cm apart and I use an old side table as my tv stand!!

    Hi Casher.

    Yeah the distance between the legs are 83cm.

    Let me know if it would fit once you get to measure up.

    Sorry to jump in on your thread Casher, but is a sound bar essential for these 4K tv’s?

    Also does the tv quality go up the bigger the tv is?

    I have another question. I measured my stand & it’s only 54cm. So what’s the difference between the 630 & the 670? I see the 670 has a Centre stand which would save me buying new furniture!

    Hi Casher,

    The 670 has a much better panel with better brightness and colour. It also has a better design, a thinner silver bezel instead of a black plastic one.

    Let me know what you think.

    Kind regards

    David

    Hi guys,
    Just wanted to let you know my frustration at the delivery of my tv. Nothing to do with you & nothing you can do about it, but just for your info if you’re looking at delivery companies. Got a text from Aramex on Friday to say my tv would be delivered in 2 working days between 9am & 5pm. My mom lives nearby so when I got the call for exact directions she would pop over to let the delivery guy in. No word by lunchtime and the Aramex website tracker hasn’t changed since Friday so I rang them. They had outsourced delivery to Breen & gave me a contact number. I rang Breen, yes my parcel was on their truck, driver was currently 30km away and was most likely calling to me on the way back to base. I left work at 4pm to come home & play with my new toy. Still hadn’t heard anything so rang Breen again. My TV won’t be delivered until tomorrow, the driver got caught up elsewhere so just didn’t bother. It’s not the end of the world, or even a serious matter in the grand scheme of things, but just frustrating when you put things in place for a delivery and it doesn’t happen and you’re not even contacted to explain that it won’t happen. I just hope my Mum is free in the morning to accept delivery.
    Rant over, thanks.

    Hi Casher,

    I'm really sorry to hear you had issues with your delivery. And apologies for the delay getting back to you. Did you receive the TV this morning? I will have a word with our couriers to lodge a complaint as you should have been contacted to give you an update or let you know the delivery had been delayed.

    Please let me know if you have any further issues and apologies again for the inconvenience.

    Kind regards

    David

    Hi David,
    Tv was delivered at lunchtime. I rang the company around 11am to get the ETA. Delivery driver couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. Looking forward to playing with it tonight!!

    Thanks,
