Following a tiresome nine-month disagreement with Thames Water, the outcome is that I will hopefully get some cash compensation and be able to buy a new TV. My current set is a twelve year old 26" 720p screen so this should be quite a step-up
.
I don't want a huge screen; my living room is very modest in size and I woud go up to 43". I'd like the set to be 4K, have some reasonable form of HDR, be able to run apps like Netflix and Disney+, a decent screen response rate and to have at least three HDMI sockets. I'm not fussed about 120 FPS capability or anything higher tech... which is just as well with my budget.
I'm looking at spending £500; a little more at a push.
I'm already annoyed at re-discovering how few HDMI sockets the manufacturers put on their sets. An HDMI adaptor seems to be essential.
I've looked around and I think a Samsung set would suit my requirements and budget. This one looks decent:
> Samsung 43 Inch UE43RU7100KXXU Smart 4K HDR LED Freeview TV - circa £399 -

> Samsung 43 Inch QE43Q60T Smart UHD HDR QLED Freeview TV - circa £599 -
