    My 50" Samsung TU8000 has failed. Turning itself on and off like it's a lighthouse. Quotes for replacement screen approx. 270 with 1 year warranty. So, although I hate this culture of not fixing anything, it's probably cheaper/more sensible to buy a new tv.

    To someone who has no clue and as little interest, any top tips?

    50" was too big so I'm thinking around 43"? A decent warranty. Any brands to stay clear of? Any suggestions?

    Not wanting to spend an arm and a leg on it either…..

    Thanks.

    Check out LG's OLED range in the sub 50 inch size. They're not mental money and the picture quality can't be beat. I got one last year for about a grand.

    Try pick a TV that comes with a 5 year warranty from the shop. Lg if possible

    Wait for next bank holiday. The electronics ships always have discounts on TVs then, especially previous year's models. I got a 48" LG OLED a few years ago like this. If you haven't tried one ... it's like going from dial up to broadband.
