Smart TV Deals & Offers

I would avoid this company like the plague. Had an awful experience with them. I'm actually surprised UKHD have allowed them to be posted as a company to purchase from.

(flirt)

The idea was copied from the movie industry, most cinemas historically had a curved screen, though I doubt many people in the audience realised. The reason was that if you have a flat screen the light, coming from the projector at the back of the cinema, hits the centre of the screen at 90 degrees but hits the sides at a different angle, and this distorts the picture such that it looks bowed or curved. Also the edges were darker because they were further from the projector and the picture was impossible to focus properly, if it was in focus in the centre it was out at the sides, and vice-versa. So to counteract all these problems the screen was curved, side to side and top to bottom so that every part of it was the same distance from the projector. This corrected the distortion and made everything look flat to the audience and they saw a nice crisp even image. But of course all this is totally irrelevant to TV’s because the image isn’t projected; they produce their own light from within.

The screen doesn’t look straight ;)

I wouldn't be happy with the damage on this TV to be honest, even if the price is good. Not worth it. I will weigh in that I have this in a 55 inch curved model and have no issue with viewing angles! Yes, sitting dead centre is best, like on any screen, but we have a large L shaped sofa and wherever you sit on it the view is just fine. You'd have to be looking totally from the side to have a bad view, but that would be the same as a flat TV. The only thing I miss about my old flat screen is that you can't swivel this, so I can't angle it to watch from the kitchen while cooking. But that's a worthy sacrifice for a badass looking curved screen.

Think 55 is a little too big for where is going but I'll measure up, anything between 43 and 50 was where I was aiming, thanks for the reply I've also read where someone mentions a TV and someone then mentions a different size of the she model and gets a reply stating it's a different panel, does that mean 2 different sizes of the exact same model TV can actually made by different companies? Sorry to ask quite specific questions but it seems a bit of a minefield ;(

The guys over on avforums say the 55 inch version of this Hisense is the best tv at the price range. They know what they’re talking about.

On a relevent but side note, what's the lowest I should expect to pay, or maybe the lowest spec I should go for a 50 inch 4k TV that works well with PS4 pro, and can any brands be trusted that are different to their badge? Or do I just go for Sony LG or Samsung?? Only asking here as I'm really struggling to find the right info to tick the boxes I see plenty of 4k TVs around £400, and plenty over a grand, is £500 still being optimistic?

Where does it state the panel differs, can't find any info regarding this

Probably from here where B7 on offer is apparently out of stock but seller is offering B8 for same price instead https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-oled55b7v-55-smart-ultra-hd-4k-oled-tv-free-lg-las260b-soundbar-1189-using-code-rgb-direct-3072467

@RUGAAL Where did you find a B8 for 1199

Would that comparison also stretch to the C8? I understand the C8 possesses a different processor to the B8. Does the C8 have less chance of getting 'burn in' compared to its predecessors from previous years, as well as those from this year's line up?

is b7 much worse comparing to b8 with alpha7 chip ?

Had mine for a year with zero issues. I had a 4K LCD before it & there is just NO comparison. To be fair though, I think most of the issues lie in this particular model (B7). I have an E7 and it’s amazing!

Is the viewing angle really bad as I normally have on a stand in corner of the room but this 1 will be wall mounted above fire. My sofa will be direct in front of the TV but the other sofa will be to the side. I have purchased an adjustable stand so could always move it when have guests. Here is a link I found for settings. You will have to let me know if it helps that black crush issue. I have not heard of that before. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/nu8000/settings

Yep, I went for 65nu8000. Ordered last Friday with click and collect. It was waiting for me in local shop on Monday. TV its good, so far mainly used it for games with ps4 and HDR looks fantastic. Be aware of poor viewing angles, for me its not an issue because I do sit right in front. As well as all VA black crush is noticeable, again my previous TV was va as well so its ok for me. Unfortunate nowday reality that there is no perfect TV, you have to balance price/pros/cons

Are we going 50-50 lol only joking glad I could help so is it the Samsung Nu8000 series TV u went for is it good and how long did it take to deliver as I only ordered mine last night

Thank you so much. I purchased this tv 5 days ago for £1169 from richer sounds and just went through price promise now. £109 heading my way thanks to you. (y)

Use code FACEBOOK at checkout after u have chosen the lower price for the TV as they are doing £50 off bringing the TV to £1199 then add the code at checkout bringing price to £1078 I did this last night on that TV as it's cheapest price you will find it

OP really should put that it's a clearance item in the title otherwise this is a misleading post

Is this an Android TV?

Will probably wait for BF, but looks like a good deal. I'm looking for a name-brand 43" too

4k resolution is better as its clearer it is true that the bigger the screen the better the 4k broadcast will look like that statement says its not easy to differentiate between 1080p and 4k on 40 to 50 inch screens, thats just because our eyes aint that brilliant at noticing the difference but as the tvs get bigger it becomes more apparent that the higher resolution is better

Nah that can’t be true. It’s a graph so it must be a fact, fact! No way 4K is better than 1080, I mean... come on...4K has more pixels but scientifically that doesn’t mean anything because the graph says so! Oh and by the way for those who can tell the difference between 4K and 1080, I quote, “you are sitting too close to the TV”. 4K is a gimmick just like 3D and as for HDR, don’t even consider it unless you are buying unaffordable sets. In graphs we trust. Fact. Peace.

Nu8000

There’s also a code posted earlier Autumn5 that may give 5% off? Nice price for the instore but C&M better overall from what’s been posted.

5 days from phone-call to fixed tv

Even better £719.10 at Crampton and Moore with instant save of £50 and code FACEBOOK which gives 10% off. Soo tempting . this or the 55U7A. Can't decide.

Yeah that’s strange. I have the NU8070 and it seems to be the bottom right corner which is the main part. How long did it take them to fix? Thanks

You did not say why they did not remove their fake £130 off. May be they will give you another television free when pointing this out. They should replace it with £20 off. Enjoy the Hisense. (cheeky)

Yes you do. It costs about £28 a year.

I've never used Costco before. Do you have to be a member to get that price or something?

Well, costco very much appreciated your views on their fake pricing. They said they were already aware of this and dropped their price to 399.99 and because I noticed this they rewarded me with a free tv...... (highfive)

And the Toshiba website states HDR

Price dropped to £354

Couldn't agree more. Absolute nightmare. It's a minefield

I've been looking at this for the last few days. Found this video.

Dropped the ball, yeah right. They knew exactly what they were doing. They didn't accidently use pretty much the same design and model number of a highly rated and high quality mid range TV last year for this year's budget range. They saw last year's great reviews as an opportunity to fleece and trick customers this year. Buying a TV today is bad enough with all the various HDR terms, "fake" 4k panels and constantly missing out important details from the spec sheet such as response time and refresh rate. We dont need it made worse by this kind of trickery.

This whole situation is a concern to me, I'm looking for a set 32" and bigger that can handle motion. That's all I want lol

Looking for a couple of 55 inch TVs to purely run on Apple TV for an indoor cycling studio at home. Know absolutely nothing about TVs though.. Would these be a good bet? Need them to be wall mounted and they'd be within two meters from the users with a head on viewing angle (so basically not bothered if it has a wide viewing angle). Not really many options at this price so a bit suspicious..

I’ve seen another review that said the same but then loads that say it’s great. It makes no sense.

I had the 40" version of this same model. And live TV was 560i on every freeview channel, apart from the Samsung channel. So I sent it back

Oh crap conflicting info. I guess the only way to find out is to physically find one and look.

It looks like it has satallite tuner according to this website https://uk.hardware.info/product/443445/samsung-ue55nu7100/specifications

You’re just not reading what I said correctly.

Sorry but your contradicting yourself several times....your first post said "pointless, HD looks worse when upscaled", then you said "obviously 4k upscaled will look better than not upscaled"? You also said "its impossible to upscale 8k on a 4k tv" that is true I never said 8k upscaled on a 4k TV we are talking of the 8k samsung posted here upscaling to near 8k. Bottom line is if the Tv has a good upscale engine then then standard image will look better, that was my point, that the image on a 55" qled 8k will look better than on a qled 55" 4k as it has a better upscale engine (will bring it up near 8k) so how is an 8k tv pointless? If it gives better TV images watching standard, HD or 4k than on a current 4k TV then it is not pointless? The switch looks so much better on my 4k tv than on a higher model no 4k (1080p) set (I have several Samsung TV's so can see the upscale working.

Obviously on a 4K TV, 4K upscaled content will look better than if not upscaled due to pixel duplication and stretching needed to fill the screen. Pixel for pixel it would look better not stretched or duplicated on an HD TV as in doing so it’s showing you a false representation of the source material. It’s impossible to upscale to 8K on a 4K TV. Even with the advanced algorithms and improvements to upscaling over the years it always yields a slightly softer picture. My guess is it isn’t the pixel resolution improving your viewing experience but other benefits with your set.

Not sure what TV you have but my 4k upscaling looks SOOO much better than HD on my Samsung ku6500. This TV upscales even better (near 8k), so standard, HD and 4k channels/programs/dvds/blurays will ALL look better. This 'deal' though is stone cold as it's no deal, just free installation which is actually standard on a TV costing several of thousands of pounds!

By the time they finally get all of the 4K content widely available. 16K will be unveiled XD

HOly s**t thanks!! Nice!!

Yeah, you're right. I didn't read the post properly.

I have 2 Samsung smart TV's, 2 different models and I can no longer connect any of them to the wifi. Google it, thousands of customers are in the same situation. Think twice before buying a Samsung TV

NU8000 has freesync and vrr for gaming:)

can this be put on the wall?

Wouldn't come on from standby without having to pull out the plug. To clarify, it wasn't this 55" set but the one on the old thread you linked.

Not working probably

Faulty as in?

Got the same deal but had to send mine back as faulty.

Terrible ghosting within Frame rate returned mine got a Samsung instead

Purchased 2 for work, great item

Sorry, I mistook the sizes. The 49" is £375 at Costco so yes, this deal here is definitely a good one.

yes mate!

Go samsung

This is a 2016 model, and was cheaper in 2017 Specs here: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/28848f0

Yes includes VAT just bought it lol for spare room well worth it.

Does the Costco price include VAT?

No HDR by the looks of it. Cracking deal though. (y)

Sharp is a very underrated brand in my opinion. They make quality things at very affordable prices. I'm using a Sharp phone which I shipped from abroad and it's absolutely amazing for the price!

Thanks, I bought the same one. Will hold you liable if anything goes wrong ;)

All aerials have the same fitting afaik but some are marketed towards HD. I've used the 1byone 0.7 mm Paper Thin HDTV Aerial on Amazon with great results (better than more expensive ones...) The signal quality depends on your location though, indoor aerials aren't for everyone.

Just any aerial, or are there units that won't fit this particular TV?

An aerial.

Hi guys, I bought this TV and so far it's superb, but I'd like to know what I have to buy to actually use freeview? So far I've been using TV only to play/watch things on my PS4, so never thought about it, but since I have a smart TV with freeview it would be stupid of me not to use its full potential. If you could recommend any hardware that enables one to use freeview I would be most grateful.
