    I now have a Nordmende 55” Smart LED 4K TV for sale if anybody is looking :)
    Only a month old with receipt from powercity so full warranty still in place.

    Long shot but does anyone know if you can access a hard drive (that's attached to the tv) on windows?

    Lads Ive reserved this in Naas and can see that it has now come back into stock at the new price but I didn't get a reminder email or text from Argos. Has this happened to anybody before?

    Iv found a 4K stream source and when I go to play it the screen flashes from black to all green flickers.

    Anyone know why this might be?

    Do I need a special hdmi cable for 4K

    Hdmi 2.0 or higher needed for 4k @ 60 fps.
    If you try a 4k video on YouTube and it plays ok,then it's not your broadband and probably not your television.

    Been on to Argos support since 2nd December, and they finally gave me a reservation number and for all their help it is for the lastest price 700+ euros.

    I've tried a 4K video on youtube app and that works. Also, tried youtube 4k video on my kodi raspberry pi and that worked.

    I think it may something to do with the Raspberry pi though with the particular video Im trying to play.

    I've noticed my Netflix movies are much clearer, better depth and overall better on this TV compared to my previous Nordmende 4K TV. Really happy with the swap out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭Frank_1969


    Has anyone experienced the tv rebooting by itself, unexpectedly?
    Happened to me Wednesday evening, might be just a one off, maybe bad weather at the time.
    From googling I came across some forums from a few years back,this seemed to be a problem with some earlier models of LG televisions.

    Happened to me before with a camera. reserved on a friday, got a reservation number and stock was due in on the following tuesday afair so available to collect from tuesday to thursday of the following week.

    On the reservation it said id get a text when it was in but never got a text. Went in on the tuesday anyway only to be told that the order was still being processed and that it would be in on the Saturday and the price would be honored(in the mean time the price had gone back up). Still got no text by saturday so went in to argos to see what the story was. The camera still hadn't arrived and was told to call in to the manager on the monday.

    Went in on the monday where I was told that the camera wasn't available at all and that there is nothing they could do. New stock at higher price had arrived in other stores by that monday and four or five days after this stock was available in the store I was dealing with. I left it be and didn't kick up a fuss but it all felt like a massive waste of my time and really put me off argos tbh.

    Anyone know the chain of command in Argos, because their helpline is rubbish, and their on line isn't any better. I don't know just how much authority a store manager has,and really there should be someone in Argos who can solve a problem,and direct a store manager to do X or y. There's not much point going to a store manager if the point of contact was buying on line.

    I'd say you're wasting your time at this stage.

    Wait for the January sales and you might get lucky.

    I agree, but it would be nice for Argos to not just admit they had a problem, but to actually do something about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭kindalen

    Press list button,then red button and select either antenna or satellite.
    My previous tv a Panasonic was more straight forward.It had a dedicated button for selecting between the two.
