Price
Love the tv great service at a great price highly recommend
I bought a bomaker odine 1 sound bar for £79 (which is amazing value and produces high quality sound).
I bought this refurbished and honestly i would've paid full price for it.
Not worth the price difference when you can buy a sound bar to compensate, and the sound bar can be used with multiple devices ... Read More
Shipping
Tv arrived very quickly a d extremely well packaged.
They too were excellent, with good contact and prompt delivery.
Packaging/appearance
The tv was bought from amazon warehouse, it came well packed and i can’t appreciate any defects or malfunction after using it a couple days
Competitiveness
Connecting to netflix was equally as straightforward.
Essentially, it is better than the led in every department.
Magazine said that 'you can pay a lot more for a tv, but it won't give you a better picture'.
Bbc iplayer and certain freeview hd channels cause block artifacts which is probably down to the poor compression.
