Blimey, a mansion! I'd have to go into another room to be 18ft away from my TV.

Horses for courses if you have the room but for most pre-war semis and smaller properties I would not be keen myself. Same with double-bed size fridge freezers, my sister swears by them but it is used in the main for just her and her husband. Ok when family visit but I tend to think that a lot of stuff is bought just to fill it and subsequently gets slung. Her 52" tv fills the bay of her lounge blocking most of the light and I think she might be on her 3rd expensive Samsung. Not by choice I might add but for reasons of Samsung tv failures.

We have been like this for 20 or so years, it started with lack of time to go shopping but now it is convenience. Very little in the way of fresh food gets thrown as I try to plan the meals so buy what we need but then may end up not cooking one night. I used to do a two or even week plan for dinner so I knew what to buy. macafee2 |

I think that would also be a good choice. Being an OLED it will give you the black levels you like although the Samsung Qleds are getting quite good these days with light bleed however the sound is likely to be better on the Sony. Once again at the risk of sounding biased and advertising the company i work for i would always recommend Richer sounds for the guarantee and they will pricematch other retailers as long as it is a comparable package although we will generally accept a 5 yr as being comparable.

Would agree 100% on screen size, some friends of ours have a 65 inch screen and it over powers the room.
We purchased a Sony 49 Smart TV last year, with some shopping around we managed to get it for a reasonable price and it has more functions than we will ever use and the picture is fantastic. I suppose it depends on how much and what type of TV you watch? If you watch a lot of films or dramas a bigger TV is a good option. The last time we were in John Lewis we went into the room with a 85 inch TV, an amazing picture but £6k. You would need a room the size of a tennis court to take advantage of a screen that large. Also spending that kind of money on a TV you would be very upset when it goes wrong and I am sure they are not easily fixable. Our neighbours have a 55 inch TV and the screen had lines after it was 18 months old, Samsung reckoned it would cost more to repair that it would to replace the TV. Can you imagine if that happened if you had paid £6k. |

We have a 50" Finlux TV which I often think is too big, we only bought it to copy everyone else. I think 50" is about right to keep the proportions bearable, once you go to 55" and 60" it all gets ridiculous for the average living room. |
