The TV is almost half price and boasts 4K ultra HD, perfect for high-powered games and home cinema experiences
Most of us, for our sins, spend hours a day in front of the telly. Whether it's catching up on our favourite shows, binging the latest streaming release, watching a blockbuster at home or playing video games, the TV is a staple in many homes.
When it comes time to upgrade the TV, it can be a tricky decision. Shoppers question how big it really needs to be, how powerful it should be to run everything nice and smoothly, and what to look for to get the clearest picture possible.
Shoppers can now save £500 on a powerful LG 55-Inch 4K UHD Smart TV for £609, down from £1,099 on Amazon - 45% off a brand new TV. The smart functionality lets buyers browse and watch any streamer or terrestrial channel at the push of a button, and the crisp 4K UHD display is a dream for gamers.
The 55-inch TV, which comes with a stand, has everything one would need as it has a smart webOS platform with Freeview Play, Netflix, Disney+ and many more. It also has responsive gaming and advanced features for next-gen consoles - an ideal buy for gamers. The advanced LG a8 AI Processor 4K means shoppers are getting advanced processing and the best out of their entertainment with enhanced pictures and sounds.
According to the brand, the TV has 2.3 times improved graphics, 1.5 times faster AI performance, and 1.8 times quicker processing speed than previous models. The remote control is easy to function, as it has a simple point-and-scroll button to find the best thing to watch, voice command, and streaming service shortcuts to all the main apps—saving people time when they want to lie back and pop on their favourite show.
The TV also comes with all the essential features such as four HDMI plugs, two USB sockets, and support for terrestrial TV and external speakers. With an extra wide viewing angle, shoppers can invite friends around for the next football match and know that everyone will have great picture quality from any position.
If this isn't quite what shoppers want and they'd prefer another brand, they could try a cheaper option with the Samsung 32-inch HD Hospitality HDR Smart TV for £229 from Debenhams. The black set comes with a built-in 10w stereo, speakers, smart functions including browser, it's VESA wall mountable and is said to provide an exceptional visual experience. For a more expensive buy, shoppers could get the HISENSE 100-inch Smart 4K Ultra HD TV with Amazon Alexa for £1,889 from Currys. This TV also has a wide viewing angle, allows shoppers to stream content from Netflix, Disney+, and NOW and has a quad-core 4 K processor that uses AI among many other high-class features.
The LG 55-Inch TV has been rated highly on Amazon with a 4.3 out of 5-star rating. One reviewer wrote: 'Exceptional picture quality. The OS is fast and fully featured. The screen is insanely thin, so moving it around is nerve-racking, but once situated, it really does look great. The price was also exceptional, at least £200 cheaper than anywhere else I looked. Especially good for gaming as well.'
Another said: 'Huge improvement over my old TV. Excellent detailed picture… Sound is also much better. Many features and smart operation. I would recommend a reduced price without breaking the bank.'
Not everyone had this view, however, as one person shared: 'The remote controller is a nightmare.' Another said: 'Legs are over a meter apart, so may not fit everyone's TV unit.'
'Brilliant picture and crisp sound - very happy,' said another shopper.
