Samsung 32" smart TV

[evdok]

Looking to get the lad a 32" smart TV, had a quick look & this looks quite good value. (budget around £300-350) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C2N9OQY/?tag=amazon0e9db-21

Any suggestions welcome

John Lewis offer a free 5 year guarantee on all their TVs.

Slightly more than amazon but worth it for the 5 year warranty:

That's the very same TV that I have earmarked for my 'man-cave' when I get it finished.

Richer Sounds also sell this with a 5yr warranty.

Get a Panasonic. Better picture and reliability.

I may have read this wrong but why would anybody want to spend 4 grand on a TV?

What Hi-Fi did a group test not too long ago which included both the exact samusng you link to and the exact panasonic I link to, the Panasonic came out top of the 32" group and went on to be awarded best 32" TV of 2013.

Panasonic TX-L32E6B review from the experts at whathifi.com

Panasonic consistently top lots of the tests, by any magazines or websites.

4 of the 6 what hifi 2013 award winning sets in their respective categories are Panasonic units of various sizes/models.

flanaia1, what model TV do you have? Don't want to sound disrespectful, but specs don't mean that much when it comes to a TV, just like a 20MP camera isn't necessarily better than a 10MP one.

Overall though, the main things to think about when purchasing are :
- The use of the set (Gaming, TV, DVD, BR?)
- The environment (Bright room, dark room?, time of day set is used)
- Viewer preference (larger than life colours and contrast or realistic looking)

I haven't kept up on the most recent manufacturing news but not long ago Panasonic built a brand new plant just to manufacture their IPS-Alpha and IPS-Pro LED displays as their panels were used in 30% of the sets sold around the world.
I think it was the back end of 2011 they built this new plant.
At the time, their IPS technology was leaps and bounds ahead of LG.

I thought panasonic had pulled out of the panel business? Wasn't there a deal where panasonic and LG swapped technologies and in return LG took over production of the panel plants having received a long term committment from panasonic to supply them with panels. As far a I know only samsung and LG of the branded mannufacturers make panels, sony use samsung as do hitachi, must admit though not been on top of it for a while.

not sure of the model of my tv will have to get the model number off the msnual

You may be correct. That'll be my Sunday afternoon reading then.

I might be wrong but I,m sure I remember reading something about it or maybe I,m getting mixed up with lcd panels and production.

Still don't get it.

We have 3 cheap Toshiba tv's all with 32 inch screens in our house.

They do what we ask. We have far better things in life to do than watch tv and involve ourselves in a p*****g competition.

Simples.

Samsung 40-inch UE40EH5000 Series 4 - 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) - LED TV - Samsung UK - TECH SPECS

This 40" LED is £299 in Sainburys (in store only i think).

Regardless of reviews, this is a bargain.

Ok. Due to the purchase of a bluray player that gives 'smart' operation, I need a full HD 32" tv with Freeview HD.

Don't need a smart tv. What is the best you know of ?
