249 sterling 40" samsung 4k tv on argos.co.uk

gussieg · 09-08-2019 2:33pm #1

saw this on hukd, but they seem to have plenty of availability now, good price for a 4k tv just on the small side of massive but therefore doesnt use much electricity at all at all.

They won't deliver to the Republic so you'd have go North to collect it if you were after one.

Try Address Pal

https://addresspal.anpost.ie/

You will have to check dimensions of the package but it might work.

Exact same here, been struggling to find one that's a decent price. Don't want super expensive, but want a recognised brand.

A lot of the cheaper ones tend to be big bulky yokes, and I want a nice neat one.

4K no addition under 55".

Don't have it as a requirement.

No Argos don't deliver to parcel motel/wizard or address pal.

It's pretty much as cheap now to buy 4k as it is 1080p. In fact there's usually better choice of 4k.

Also newer TVs, which tend to be 4k, also tend to have other improvements in the screen quality vs 1080p. Things like HDR.

And the size of the TV is only one aspect. How close you sit to it is another. If you sit 5-6 feet from your tv you'll notice the benefits of 4k on ~40".

what awec said

Invincible · 09-08-2019 7:19pm

Wouldn't mind but depends on what part you're from if it would suit. I'd be going to Enniskillen.

Why did you get a code if you didn't want it?

kevcos · 12-08-2019 6:23pm

Ok, this is going to seem like a total granddad question but can I watch youtube on this?
Independently or do I have to HDMI the laptop in to her.

A lot of the benefits are negatives too. Unless a program is in native 4K the sets etc look very fake

gussieg · 13-08-2019 1:28am

for anyone that is still looking , there are several available still in Newry, probably should have put this in Northern Ireland Bargains section really .

I think you might be talking about digital interpolation settings on tvs, usually set to mid or max, which add frames and create a soap opera effect. Switch all of these off and you'll get a much more natural effect.

They are only really useful for sports where motion fluidity makes the event feel live.

As for 4k sets upscaling 1080p data, this again is an interpolation but purely on the pixel count. No change in frame rate, no enhancing contrast. Hiw the upscale performs is down to the tv itself.

That’s why it looks out of stock everywhere?

misread, ignore me! "looks out" does not equal "lots of"

Crunchienut · 13-08-2019 6:59pm

One just popped up in each of Drogheda (Extra), Dun Laoghaire and Ilac Centre in the stock checker. Bagged myself one, others may still be there. I suspect they were reservations not collected and put back into stock at close of business

coldfire1x · 13-08-2019 9:35pm

Looks like all gone again. Looking for one, so hopefully one pops up back again.

I’m after seeing one in Drogheda, which is handier for me, so I reserved it. If you want the reservation code for Monaghan I’ll pass it onto you. Needs to be collected by end of tomorrow though it said.

beauf · 15-08-2019 2:44pm

Anyone who bought the 40" any opinions on it.

I've a old 42" on the blink. Not sure its worth fixing over getting one of these.

Thanks for that. Saw one become available both in cavan and monaghan, but just saw one come up in enniskillen so reserved that. I dont think i can beat £249 which should work out about €275. Cant see that price being bettered

rks · 17-08-2019 11:28am

A quick help: Anyone who got this tv, can you please confirm there's no headphone jack or bluetooth in this telly? Thanks
