So my two year old Son presented me with a late Christmas present this afternoon by tipping over the TV resulting in the below screen
Anyone know how much it will cost to repair instead of replacing the whole thing and getting a new one?
Getting a new one can be difficult and time consuming, obedience school is a lot cheaper.
On a serious note, I think it will be easier to get a new one. Always deals on these days.
I remember someone I knew, their son smashed their tv several times with a plastic hammer playing Bob the Builder... Similar screen to yours, his dad didn't take it well, at all.
Nah I've not taken it well either
Are we allowed to sell the old annoying ones on the Marketplace section of CharltonLife?
If a 32 inch set is all you need, go down to your local supermarket. You can pick one up for about £130.
It will a piece of crap for £130.
What people have to take into account is a TV is not seen by everybody as something you have to show off. It is something some people use to watch television on. Will it be a piece of crap compared to the broken 7 year old set, probably not.

Will it be a Smart TV for £130? If not, you’ll need to invest in Apple TV, firestick or similar (Android box) - assuming you want to watch Netflix etc.

I bought a new Smart tv about a month ago. It's got Apple, Now, Netflix you name it. I still haven't connected it to the internet yet. Just not interested.

Not really wanting to spend £350 on a 43 inch (given the deals at the moment), it limits my options but using the Argos website at the moment (just for ease of showing the model)
What would people's recommendations be on the three below?
Of course; Samsung and LG are at the top of the spectrum for TVs, but have since been wary of going for a brand just because of the name... Hence why I ask about Hisense
Had a Samsung Galaxy phone for years before the screen broke earlier in the year, changed to a Huawei P30 and havent regretted it for a second. My only frustration at the moment is the fact that Huawei now have those issues with using Google Play Services so if they carry on, any future Huawei phone wont have the usual Google Services that I like to rely on... Sorry mini rant over

Avoid Hisense my brother in law bought two in June and the picture isn't smooth 4k it's fine at 1080p but when displaying 4k there's screen tearing and on both the sound is often quite muffled.
Recommend an LG if you're seriously considering a change. Their more budget range is pretty decent.

Google rules the World.
Is that a good thing?
It's not Google. They could not licence apps to Huawei because of the US Govt. ban on sales to that company.

You can get Smart TV's for around £130-140. I've just bought a new one for the bedroom, £140 and it's even a DVD player too! Admittedly d I'd probably go a bit higher for the main one in the front room.

Via an HDMI cable to my laptop.
Fair enough. If the TV has built in Chromecast (or you had a Chromecast dongle attached) you could cast from your phone (or laptop) and avoid the cables (as long as it’s connected to the internet).
Not really wanting to spend £350 on a 43 inch (given the deals at the moment), it limits my options but using the Argos website at the moment (just for ease of showing the model)

Sorry mini rant over
I have a Hisense 55" 4k TV and, for me, it does pretty much everything all of the far more expensive brands do for considerably less outlay. Have had it about 5 years now with zero problems. I've no idea about refresh rates and all the technical stuff but it works fine for TV, streaming Amazon/Netflix, etc. and a bit of gaming occasionally. Loads of hdmi's, USB inputs, etc.
My set does not have Bluetooth for headphones so I recently invested in a transmitter for about £15, job done.
Ok, like a lot of thin teles the sound quality might not be great (it's still not bad), and it might not be as "stylish" looking when it's turned off as some brands but it's just a tele. I'm sure if you compared the specs with LG, Sony or whoever you'd be paying several £100 more for similar but I'd have another Hisense one.

Not what I meant at all.
Google has this monopoly on almost every function marketable on the internet .......... nearly everything goes through Google tracking your every move. Is that a good thing?
You can get a 40” full HD JVC one for £220 at curry’s. I got one 6 months ago and no regrets, great tv for the price. If you want to turn it smart spend £30 on a chromecast.

have to admit though it looks bloody amazing and is a superb TV (not sure it's worth the price though
