zach   235 #2 Posted December 30, 2018 I bought my last 2 from Currys. They were on a par for price and had them in stock for delivery or collection.  You say you don't do technical. Look for a 1080p one and just pick the screen size and price that suits your budget. You could post your choices on here and see what opinions people have...might help.

Happ   25 #3 Posted December 30, 2018 Currys is probably the worst place you could shop for a new tv.  Richer Sounds is my recommendation with John Lewis price matching not far behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

swarfendor437   14 #6 Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) What Happ said. I've only ever bought from John Lewis - I think Richer Sounds can offer an extra year over John Lewis in terms of warranty.  Looks like there is only one 'non-smart' TV for sale at John Lewis:  https://www.johnlewis.com/linsar-40led320-led-full-hd-1080p-tv-40-inch-with-freeview-hd-black/p3870155  Interesting information on Linsar here:  https://www.avforums.com/threads/linsar-a-british-success-story.1664855/  Just looked at Richer Sounds and can't find any TV's that are not Smart - looks like the Linsar might be your only option?  Curry's have more models but the best only has a 2 year guarantee:  https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/full-hd-tvs/televisions/televisions/301_3002_30002_xx_ba00011146-bv00309066-ba00013254-bv00312215-ba00004524-bv00298789/xx-criteria.html  Looks like John Lewis is the place to go based on my brief search into none-Smart TVs as the Linsar comes with a 5-year guarantee!  Edited December 30, 2018 by swarfendor437 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sometimes you want a good quality product and it doesn't matter too much where you buy it from, and Curry's can be very convenient. I would not choose Curry's for customer service nor for pre-sales advice compared to the other two either. If you know what you want, they can often have the best price.  The JL one with 5 years guarantee kindly posted by swarfendor437 above, reminds us of how good the additional guarantees are with JL. I did exactly that when I bought my last TV, from JL, with a 5 year guarantee included in the price.

Very key questions.  Also, what type of Aerial or receiver do you have? Do you have a Satellite dish and Sky box for example?

Richer sounds are great until you actually try to use their warranty, I know a few that have been bitten, currys are easily as good as anywhere else. 2 hours ago, stropalottle said: I would recommend Richer Sounds.

Ghozer   112 #11 Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't touch any TV made by Linsar (or rather, Vestel) They are the cheapy cheap, TV's, (such as Funai, Daewoo, Hitachi, Medion, Polariod, Sanyo, Hyundai, Finlux, Maxwell, Sharp and others) all made in the same place in Turkey...
