Any codes left for Dub ?

Rubber_Soul · 11-07-2017 09:19PM

Long shot but if anyone ends up with a code anywhere in Leinster they're not using I'd appreciate it.

Ah, it is. I thought the one on offer was aswell. I bought this up the north earlier in the year.

Would appreciate a Leinster code if any going?

Yea it's the 3 sided version. .

EDIT: here is the two sided type :

Nabbed a reservation code for the Dundrum Store early this morning, to be collected by Thursday 13th, if anyone wants just reply here...

Small catch though, the reservation email is showing a price of €569, even though its still on the site at €409 and the site states that, that price is valid until 20th July, so there shouldn't really be a problem getting it for €409....

Price has gone back up on the website now too

If it's still available, can I take the reservation code ?

Thanks.

Are you still seeing €409? I think the offer may have been valid up until July 11th. I could take the code off you and try in Dundrum today?

Ha, would you look at that, they have changed the listing only in the last hour, price was still €409 round 7 this morning but now its €569...

Reservation code i have would be no good now to argue the case for €409

If afraid you missed out buddy....sorry

So what's the point in displaying "Price valid until X" on their site if they're just going to drop the listing, change the price and put it back up at a moments notice?

I'm looking to buy a soundbar for this tv and I am wondering does the tv support hdmi arc. I was told if it does not have hdmi arc it will not support a soundbar through hdmi.
This is the soundbar I'm looking at it is equipped with arc

Nearly sure all HDMI ports on this TV support ARC.

Taken From Review Of TV on expertreviews.co.uk

"You can use the optical S/PDIF output on the rear for connecting a soundbar or alternatively any of the HDMI ports as all of them support ARC (Audio Return Channel, for sending audio from the TV out to other devices). Only the rear HDMI ports support HDCP 2.2, although that's unlikely to be a big problem in the foreseeable future."

Any reservations going for any Limerick store?

You still can! I've done that in the past with an xbox360, argos staff didn't bat an eyelid when I showed her the lower price on the Reservation code via my phone and said 'yep that's fine'.

OU812 · 12-07-2017 09:39PM

I went for the 5" version, it's down from €1099 a year ago to €650. It's replacing a 42" plasma that's almost 10 years old.

I'm still setting it up, have to get the kids to bed & then play with it fully. I have to be honest, it's absolutely gorgeous with stunning visuals. I don't trust my eyes anymore because 4K is so much better than real life !!!

Has anyone any recommendation for an iOS remote for it? The official one is pants.

I have one problem though, it doesn't fit where it's supposed to go. The 49" would have suited far better but they were all sold out. Right now it's balanced precariously on the old TV stand at the front of the alcove (bloody fireplaces going in the middle of the room, they should be in the corner leaving loads of bare wall for big TVs).

Wife is away until the weekend so I have until then to try to figure something out...

errlloyd · 13-07-2017 04:23PM

Does anyone have any guides on how to get the most of the Android TV installed on it? Like how to sideload Plex or anything? Does it work exactly like a chromecast and do any Irish channels support chromecast?

Funnily enough mine appeared 5 mins after posting the question. Took 5 minutes to set up and move the other 4K tv to the sitting room. I like the ambilight feature and works well with the Hue lights in the house.

That's Fastway. Argos think Fastway operate it that way, which they should it is what Argos pay for. Fastway are an awfully bad courier company. Not exactly cheap either to use.

You can install Plex directly.

Yes, the tv shows up in "Cast" menus. Not sure what you mean by Irish channels supporting it?

You could install the player apps if that's what you are getting at.

Thanks op and noeldoran

willciviceg5 · 13-07-2017 08:45PM

Should this show HDR on the box, I don't see it anywhere on mine?

Nope but it does have HDR

OU812 · 14-07-2017 09:38AM

Only complaint with this tv is the crappy sound. There's no punch at all & it's extremely lacking at higher volumes. I'm going to get a soundbar & disable the internal speakers.

Actually no, strike that, I've too complaints. The second one it the picture is so good, that some shows I watch have left me disapointed in whay I now see are extremely bad sets & effects. My old TV was 720p & I thought that was good until I saw this.

Have a look on Amazon, this soundbar is on the warehouse deal as "used like new" which means damaged box only for €183 delivered to Ireland and the specs look very good.

Hi folks,
1st- any body have a issue with 4k playback, the 1st 15min works fine after that the screen get over size when you play 4k in YouTube or Netflix, tell you restart.

2nd -you can use a air mouse remote works fine with YouTube and browser, can't get the back button to work, (i did try 2 remotes same issue).
3rd party apps works fine need to install Es folder manager, as you can't download the apk directly, you well need a PC then a flash drive. You can use the Bluetooth connectivity for sound bar works fantastic with my portable Bluetooth speakers and headphones for privacy.
