clumber Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 When I invest in new home entertainment equipment I always have a look through What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision magazine. Very good head to head and group tests. Bought a panasonic crt tv, bout 25 years ago, on their recommendation. This tv is still going strong in my sisters house and still has a cracking picture. Panasonic or Samsung would be my first choices. As for other kit, yer pays yer money..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done sir, I hear loads of chat about the cost of a gun or carts but I believe those 2 items come nowhere close to the final bill for one year quality driven shooting, the gamekeeper tips alone are £80 - 100 per day; it soon mounts up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxo Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 This might be a dumb question. I'm on Virgin. Is there a tele type that better suits fibre? My TV refused to start today so looking. Hearing not brilliant so what brand has best sound quality? looking at 38/43 inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TV refused to start today so looking. Hearing not brilliant so what brand has best sound quality? looking at 38/43 inch. The Virgin part of the jigsaw won't effect your TV choice. But all modern tv's have reduced speaker size to make them slimmer so if your hearing not so good get the soundbar too, unless your my neighbour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
