Good Morning - Sunday 26th Sept

It’s the W…y Waving syndrome, BS!

Lads, always have to have the biggest & best.

That’s why all the dealers love us!

I’m planning an electric device to lift my TV up and out of the way, when not in use.

It will be based on the Electric Garage Door principal.

I’ll just press a button and up it goes.

Good morning all :grinning: a warm sunny start to the day…

Washing is out drying on the line, doubt there will be many more nice drying days.

Hoping to do as much as I can in the garden today before the weather changes.

Enjoy your day folks :grinning:

Got to say I do think 55inches is a good size for a TV, don’t think I would want anything bigger but they are without a doubt a bit of a faff. Mine is wall mounted which is good as it is out of the way and not taking space on the furniture. But it is a nuisance getting to all the ports to plug stuff in and I would love to change the soundbar as the current Samsung does not do dialogue very well at low volumes but getting the TV off the wall is a two man job.

Hi

I have a Sharp 55 inch Android in my lounge, the 3d LC has gone into my upstairs bedroom.

55 inch is plenty for me and I am totally happy.

I am elderly now, 4k is a waste due to my eyesight.

I am happy with my set up.

Bit damp but mild down in my part of the country . Promises for a bit of sun later. Let’s hope so it’s sheet washing day . :smiley:

Slightly damp here too and as for laundry, the sun came out yesterday just as my machine finished its last spin with the whites, so out on the lines it all went👍

Picture quality can actually get worse with a larger screen. Standard digital TV definition transmissions need a lot of upscaling to fill a 4K screen. Upscaling means the TV processor has to fill in video definition that isn’t being transmitted. It has to work out add add what it thinks should be there. If it’s a big 4K screen the more the available definition has to be stretched out, Hence a picture that might not be as good as it is on a smaller screen.

We got the stand sorted out and the conclusion is that it would have been easier to use a plank of wood. Done now though and the TV has a fairly good picture from a Sky box. The finer points of fixing leads and tidying up can wait for another day or two.

Best move I made albeit expensive was going OLED. Lovely picture even though there are far to many settings to tweak. I am still finding tweaks 2 years later.

I went for QLED now that Samsung has introduced mini LED backlighting and therefore better local dimming. It is a generally great picture (49")
