43” TV with Freesat

corcaigh07

What would your recommendations be for a Freesat capable TV (with Saorview as well of course)?

Are LG TVs the only option for Freesat?

For reference, I currently have a Panasonic TX43E302B which I like but doesn’t have Freesat and not enough HDMIs.

4K/HDR preferred but not essential.

Hi Corcaigh07.

Thanks for the post.

LG would be the most affordable option for a TV with a free to air satellite tuner built in.

Starting at the 43UK6300 priced at £319
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203459-lg-43uk6300plb-43-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

Next up is the NEW range the LG 43UM7400 priced at £369
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-204084-lg-43um7400plb-43-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

In a Sony you need to start at the 8 series so it would be the Sony 43XG8196 priced at £669
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203986-sony-bravia-kd43xg8196bu-43-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-android-tv-youview.aspx

In a Samsung there is the 43RU7400 coming in at £449
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203958-samsung-ue43ru7400-43-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-tvplus.aspx

All these televisions have a built in Sat tuner for picking up free to air satellite stations.
Not all these TV's are FreeSat certified so could have some small issues with the likes of the EPG or the order in which the channels are installed (The order of the stations can be manually re-organised)

Let me know what you think.

Hi Kenny,

Would I be right in saying the LG ranges are Freesat Certified? I’d much prefer Freesat over FTA as it updates automatically and so much easier to use usually.

How would the 2 LG TVs roughly compare to the Panasonic I mentioned when it comes to picture quality?

Thanks

Hi Corcaigh07.

The LG's are freesat approved as far as I'm aware.

Both the LG's mentioned above in my opinion would be better picture quality as you jump up to 4K sets.
The Pana is not one we have stocked so I have seen it running in the flesh.

Hi Kenny, 

The price of the 43UM7400 seems to have gone up. Is it still possible to buy at 369 GBP?

Hi Corcaigh07.

Seems it went up in price last night.

If you want to purchase one today I can still honour the £369 price.

Two ways we can work this.
You can order t full price via the website and I can refund back the difference straight away or you can PM your contact number and we can call you to manually process the order.

Cheers for the order Corcaigh07 :D

I process the order and refund ASAP for you.

It could take a few days for the refund to arrive back into your account.
