Hi there, looking to replace the tv in the lounge this Christmas.
Any recommendation on best brand would be appreciated, we currently have a 40” Toshiba but the speaker has had it.
Looking to spend up to 700

I was looking for a Hisense for him, but seems not posh enough for John Lewis

We bought this one when we moved house in august. Was a bit dubious as never heard of them but it’s bang on. Well, once you turn off the setting that auto adjusts the screen mode depending on what you’re watching. Thought I was on acid watching football as the grass kept changing shades of green.

We were looking last year and ended up with an LG because they will continue to support apps like Iplayer and it has its own browser which I use for ifollow - apparently Samsung have some of their own apps that just become unsupported after a time - just my 10 penny worth and go for as big as you can fit in

Freeview option is important to me. The Samsung I have has other free tv but it is a bind. Ended up getting a Freeview unit.

wireless/ Bluetooth?

loads of apps are useful for YouTube, iPlayer itv c4/5 etc.

Just get a ChromeCast or a fire stick if you want apps. In my experience smart tv UI/OS are universally awful.
