Help With Buying Tv

[Maydup]

Our TV has packed up this afternoon. Right in the middle of the Golf Open which is our thing!!

can you lovely people help spec a new one for us?

Our current set up is TV, hard Ethernet , Humac Box and Roku box.

I was just about to buy a new TV from Argos as we can collect from there tonight but checked the FAQ and realised it has no Ethernet. 
Out internet isn't brilliant so I don't want to rely on the WiFi. 
Help...

Just buy the tv you want but get a HDMI to Ethernet adapter.

Thank you, thank you!!

This one looks good. I think.

I use Roku for apps not available on our TV so can probably still do that?

^For decent -sized room, I'd be wanting a (bit) bigger screen...and I certainly wouldn't be buying a new TV now that didn't come with Freely. You'll be needing that relatively soon.

[gingejbee]

^WITHOUT Freely! ie buy one WITH Freely.

[chelle7272]

yes you can still use Roku

 

This one is on offer and only £10 more than the one i your link, with larger screen and Freely

^I'd avoid Bush and stick with Hisense....

I reckon it will be at least 9 years before freeview is turned off and there is a real possibility of Freely boxes coming to the market to make all tvs able to receive Freely.

I wouldn't buy a Freely tv today.

[gingejbee]

Personally, I'd prefer Freely integrated into my newly-bought TV now than have a box added at some time in the future.

Have you got a Richer Sounds near you?  They are brilliant.

Possibly a good starting point.  (Filtered to only show sets with Ethernet connectivity, with the lowest priced first):

I've had my Samsung for years & it's probably not up to snuff regarding tech & picture quality. I didn't realise new TVs had got so cheap - 43" HD/freely/etc for under £200 seems a bargain.

I should change but I'm a bit loathe to discard something that still works allbeit imperfectly. What should I do with the old TV?

[Quenched]

Maydup, 

Did you buy one, and what brand etc? 

[barry1010]

Freely hasn't got the same amount of channels as free view  and you can't record any programmes 

[Maydup]

Thanks all. I was swayed by the ability to buy a collect the TV this evening and settled for:

Samsung 40 Inch UE40T5300AEXXU Smart Full HD HDR LED TV

£199.00

I ordered and collected it from an Argos about 15 miles away. It's in, connected to the Humax Box and the Roku widget thingy and we're up and running. 
 

I'll have a play around with it over the weekend but for now it's just a screen for the Humax.

Glad you're sorted so quickly
