    Folks,

    After I don't know how many TV, audio etc purchases looking at moving from my Sony Bravia 52" to a 55" with the following comments to be taken into consideration please....

    ...picture quality, it's all about the picture quality, I have a very low tolerance to blur or judder of any description, it must have true 24fps playback as this is 99% of my viewing, the TV must be less than 3cm in depth to accommodate a PJ screen from above passing over, Saorview HD decoding

    desirables, 25fps (UK BR Rips) and 30fps (the odd US iTunes DL), USB recording to generic HDD, USB playback of .mkv files as this is the format I rip my BR's to...

    don't care about, 3D, smart functionality, sound quality, DNLA, wifi etc, great if the TV has them but I'm not bothered as this will essentially be a monitor for 95% of the time

    I will consider anything up to €1,200 delivered to Athlone, cannot be Samsung as I do not want to risk crosstalk issues with Sony 1040, you can compare to my previous TV purchases if you like for comparison


    Brief research highlights the Panny TX-55AS650B or LG's 55LB561V / 55LB650V, open to comments, suggestions etc. also on the lookout for a wireless speaker for the young one, not a big budget and only going to get if I go for a TV, nothing more than £40-£50 and there's a well rated on on Amazon I've my eye on, must be mains powered...


    Regards guys

    Hi Slave.

    Out of the 3 mentioned the 55as650 is the one to go for. Its by far our most popular range in Panasonic (AS650).
    Currently priced at 999.99 Euro (Inc Delivery)
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200527-viera-tx55as650b.aspx

    Even though it has a lot of the extras you are not after it has the better panel over the LG screens. Much better black levels and a crisper image all round.

    There is also the Sony 55W829 which is priced at 1049.99 Euro (Inc Delivery)
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200597-bravia-kdl55w829.aspx#tabSpecifications-tab

    Again this is a cracking TV. 

    All TVs come with a free 5 year Guarantee if a valid email address is supplied to us.

    On the Blue tooth speaker there is the Fresh and Rebel RockBox priced at 79.99 euro (Crazy name but sounds powerful for all the size of it).
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200527-viera-tx55as650b.aspx

    Above the RockBox your at the Cambridge G2 priced at 119.99 euro (Inc Delivery)
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200877-black-g2.aspx

    Let me know what you think.

    Any questions please ask.

    Thanks for reply, I'll pull down the manuals to have a detailed run through the specs, I should have also pointed out the HDMI connections must be on the LHS as you look at the TV from the front due to solid wall layout but I think those are okay, I assume I can pay in sterling if it works out cheaper via cr card...

    I think that Sony is not within my depth restraints, it looks like non VESA standard and requires an extra mount to be purchased, yes/no, regards

    Hi Slave1.

    Sorry, Yeah forgot about that. The Sony can mount on its own bracket (Stand doubles up as this) or Sanus supply a mounting kit which holds in out a further 2/3inches.

    Hey Slave1.

    The 55AX630 is a different beast altogether as its into the 4K range.
    It has a pixel resolution of 3840 x 2160 compared to the 650 at 1920 x 1080. 
    Stunning screen!!

    However it is an in store only and can not be shipped. it would need collected from our store here in Belfast. Stock is in very short supply on this screen.

    Pricing was in sterling.

    The only Pana's are the ones listed above.

    There is also a 48" Pana the 48AX630 priced at £799.00 / 1149.99 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/cssearch.aspx?searchterm=48ax630&swapstore=1

    This link shows all the 4K sets in the 50 - 55" size. (Any listed last "few to clear" will be a discontinued line).
