Hi Guys

I am looking at TVs for the bedroom and would be interested in the
group's thoughts.

Probably go for 24", but apart from that don't really know what's
essential.


Choice of sets at 24" is a bit restrictive - however that's a popular
size of monitor, so you could use one of those, and an external box for
the smarts. (where box could be a small as a chomecast etc)

You will likely need to look at 32" for a decent choice from most makers.

LG and Samsung are decent for the money IME. Of the budget ones HiSense
just about do it.

Accept that the smarts may date with time, and you may need to add
external bits to keep everything as you want it with time.

I would think smart TV running Free view will do it.


Freeview HD is ok picture wise, SD is ok on a few channels and pants on
the rest. But it depends a bit on what you are looking for.

But picture quality and such are a bit of an unknown.


Well you could audition a few.. if you want a really nice picture then
look at the OLED screens - particularly impressive in dark environments
and when watching content with High Dynamic Range / Dolby Vision.
