Have Sony learnt how to actually write software yet?

I still think FireTV is the best smart option, the interface is way better than anything else and the way you can search across multiple apps/sources is great.

The Smart part of the majority of modern Smart TVs is useless. I've never used it on any of my TVs. I'm currently using a Fire TV cube.

We've just taken delivery of 4 86" 4K screens at work. I keep looking at them and wondering if I can sneak one back to my flat


(total weight in flightcase is 235kg, so I'm guessing the answer is "no" )

I've no idea. I don't use any of that crap on TVs

Sony Android is ok , prob best os around for sideloading apps but Firesticks are better and quicker

My situation:

• 50" (4K, UHD) no picture, sound is good,
• 32" (HD) remote not working properly,
• JVC sound bar and sub with both HDMI and optical connections,
• I've got a 4K firestick, but the new place only has slow WiFi compared to the previous place (ADSL, 100mbs here, 600 there)

What I need is a replacement for the 50". I'll dismantle the old remote, or buy a new one, so the 32" can go back in the bedroom.

Because I can remember when a 26 inch telly was considered excessive. Human eyes haven't changed since then. No cunt needs a six foot telly.

It's why everyone hates the cinema. Just don't need a screen that big.

If they are flat and mounted to the wall, why not have a huge one. Back when 26 was big they stuck out miles.

I think I might treat us to a new TV. It'll be replacing a 17 years old 40" 720p Sony that has served well, but it would be nice to get the full benefits of the 4K Firestick and all these 4K torrents.

I was leaning towards the Samsung S90C 55" but I've now managed to find the S95C for around the same price (£1299) and don't want to spend much more than that. Is it a good choice?

Looks like it's very similar in performance to the LG OLEDs and I'm blown away by ours. Even saved a bit by getting an older model. I had a 1080 plasma before and it was still a massive improvement, coming from an old 720 set I think you'll be very impressed.

Fwiw I don't use the Firestick since I got it. The inbuilt OS has all the apps I need including Plex.

My only regret is not going bigger, but I wasn't allowed.

Another vote for LG OLED, I got a C1 from curry's clearance on ebay about 18 months ago, best TV I've ever owned, especially if you like gaming
