    Yeah, I'm putting the argument forward for the 49 but its not happening :)

    Here are some links for you. I also considered this set but I have decided to put off buying a new TV until next year.

    HUKD is actually where I came across it first :)
    Just thought I post here to get some extra opinions on it ?

    Any particular reason you're waiting until next year ?

    I'm wondering as well if there might be something going for a similar price come black Friday/Cyber Monday.

    I say next year, but yeah I can see myself caving on black friday if there is a good deal on. :pac:

    My reason for wanting to wait was because I realised it's an unnecessary purchase right now especially with Christmas coming up. I have an Epson projector we use for TV watching and I have a 27" HP monitor for PC/PS4 gaming. I'm not sure where a 4k TV would fit at the minute.

    If I did pull the trigger last month it would have been on this TV though. The reviews are pretty good and the price is fantastic. A software update enabling HDR on the HDMI ports is coming soon too.

    It has the requisite tuner on-board, so yes.

    is 43" not a bit small for 4k, you'd need to be very close

    Your OP is requesting input. That is the definition of a request.

    You're forever chiming in on threads with this same request.

    Why don't you just report the post & let the mods decide?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 190 ✭✭ Frank Inexpensive Trout


    he has alerted me of this bargain that I may now purchase -
    bargain alert confirmed :cool: :cool: :cool:

    I posted a bargain and asked for opinions on it.

    degsie report the post if you have any issues and let the mods deal with it rather than back seat modding.

    Back on topic please

    I wouldn't mind the extra functionality, the HDR, netflix etc that comes with the TV though.

    I have a 1080p 40inch at the moment. This seemed like a relatively cheap way to upgrade, its a bonus that its 4k

    Does seem like a bargain to me. User and pro reviews of Hisense TV's the last while have generally been quite positive and it seems the HDR update is available now. 4K at 43" is not going to be massively beneficial but all the extras you get, including a brand new TV at €400, it's a very good deal and miles better than some Bush/Walker/etc 4K set in Argos.

    Ha, first thing I had to do was get out the tape and show what a 49" would look like on the current tv unit.

    (really hard to come up with a response without innuendo :D )

    I know, But if your too far away you'll not notice the 4k.
    Look up the distance articles online.

    Get the biggest you can afford & deal with the fallout after :D

    Tempted to try that, but I'm not sure the legs on the 49" will fit on out TV unit.

    Hi
    Are you guys getting the Hisense delivered? If so what's the postage / parcel motel price for couriering
    Thanks! (Very tempted!)

    Free delivery to Parcel motel. I'm near to the Finglas Depot so is an extra €7 then for me.

    Price goes up to £357 if you send it to an ROI address

    Have the 49" myself. Bought it from Amazon a few weeks ago.

    This is the latest update software

    How do you find it ?

    So £349 delivered to Parcel Motel + €7 to avail of their service = €399 approx.

    The way I'd see it, it's worth paying the £8 extra (ROI VAT) & be able to return it directly to Amazon if any issue arose with the TV - delivered to your own door for €402 approx.

    For around €440 I doubt you'd find anything better. I still have to play around with the settings for get the best picture but at the moment it's very good. 4k works really well.
    The smart TV part wouldn't be the greatest but it has the likes of Netflix on it and YouTube and both have a dedicated button on the remote.

    I hAve this TV. IT'S fantastic

    My phone keyboard being a silly goose.

    These are the picture settings I use. Youtube recently got an update to 4k. I use a smartdns provider with it to use ip layer etc. There's a tg4 app in the store if interested.
