Banana7 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) I am considering replacing my 4 year old 45" Sony TV, where the the display tube needs to be replaced to get rid of thousands of dead pixels, that cause black lines on the right side of the screen. Sony use to be a good brand 10-20 years ago. Any recommendations for a 55" 4k flat screen TV that is reliable, excellent quality, good value with internet capability? The guy at power buy recommended an LG UH650T 55" for 29,990b. Edited October 2, 2016 by Banana7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Are you sure those are dead? Had issues with a Samsung and adjustment of the feed cable for the side having issues fixed it. Might be worth having checked. Really don't expect there is that much difference between brands these days - with luck it lasts - without it fails.

Really don't expect there is that much difference between brands these days - with luck it lasts - without it fails. I did send the TV to a Sony authorized repair shop, and they told me that the lines were a result of dead pixels. Something like 10,000 baht to replace the LED screen. I didn't open it, so I can only state what the repairman said. To me, what you say seems more reasonable, but there are other reports on the internet that other owners of the same model were told the same story by the sony repairmen when they complained about the black lines.

FracturedRabbit Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I took delivery of an LG 4k TV today to replace my five year old failed Samsung. Very happy with it. Good interface and looks great. Their OLED TVs are stunning; but so is the price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FracturedRabbit Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 65UH615T - 65" 4K 49,990 baht Because I thought it was a good price for a 65" 4K machine and the spec, although not the highest you can get, was more than enough for my needs. Have been very impressed so far. We went to LG and bought the "Magic" controller which is not standard with that model for an extra 900 baht and it makes navigation even easier. The Netflix app on the LG is much better than the one I was using on an Apple TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something unique about True satellite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are asking if it contains a Ku or C-band receiver suspect the answer is no and even if it did True Vision box requires card decoders.

As others have said; any TV with an HDMI input will work. Having said that, I junked True Visions and got Netflix, and the Netflix app on LG is excellent.
