32 or 40" with RTE player

Hi,

Can you recommend a 32-40" TV. Picture quality and sound quality are more important than smart features or built in apps although I'd be more interested in a TV that includes support for the RTE player as this might initially be serving TV via broadband. Thanks.

Thanks Kenny. I found that 32LM6300PLA on your site and it seemed to tick all the boxes (but didn't realise it didn't run RTE Player). I saw some online review suggesting the picture was blurry but other reviews indicating its about the best in that size/price range - is the picture quality ok on it?

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-204515-lg-32lm6300pla-32-inch-hdr-smart-led-tv-1080p-hd-freeview-play-freesat-hd.aspx seems to be €249 rather than €329, am I misreading?

Is it only Samsungs that include the RTE Player?

When would https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-204577-samsung-ue32t5300-new-t-series-32-inch-hdr-smart-1080p-hd-tv-tvplus.aspx be back in stock?

Are there are any 40" you'd recommend?

Either I put in the wrong price in Euro for the 32LM6300 or it has reduced in price but 249 Euro is correct

As far as I can tell Samsung are the only manufacturer at current that offer the RTE app.

There are very few 40" screens on the market. Panasonic have the NEW 2020 40HX800 coming in at 899 Euro

Most manufacturers go fro 32" to 43".
Samsung have the 43TU7100 priced up at 449 Euro (Pending Stock).

We are chasing the ETA on the Samsung 32" but nothing confirmed as of yet.


Kenny.

Maybe I need to drop the RTE Player requirement. The 32LM6300 ticks most of the boxes other than that. How is the overall picture quality on it? As I said, one online review suggested issues with motion blur on that but not sure how much credence to give that.

Or would the picture quality bet better on that Samsung when it comes in?

Thanks

Hi ansible,

The Samsung and the LG would actually be quite similar as both have native 50Hz panel and quite similar motion engines so I don;t think you'll notice a massive difference between the two!

The LG would be my first choice as it has a Full HD panel, a great smart hub and also will support Freesat as well as Saorview!

Let me know what you think!

Kind regards

David

Hi David,

I think I'll go ahead with the LG - what's the best way to order from you?

Thanks,

Thanks guys. Now I'm having second thoughts about whether to go larger (it's about 2.5 - 3.0 m from the couch to the tv stand, would anything larger be too much for that distance?).

And if I'm going larger and still want freesat built in, what would you recommend? Was considering the KD43XG8196BU or 43UN81006LB but maybe only the second has freesat? Sorry for the back and forth and thanks.
