We thought about that but would prefer a new tv. The picture is likely to go next.If you're happy with the TV you could just get external speakers such as a soundbar and go from there?
Thanks. Our requirements are that we generallybuy quality with a good reputation. After that TV, Netflix/other streaming services capability and one that doesn’t stalk or listen to us (I’m not kidding). I’d love one we could use the wii on but it might not be possible.What are your requirements in terms of size, features, budget?
AV Forums tend to do pretty decent reviews of all major models.

Should be the opposite.I think hdmi is required for the wii but new tellys don’t have one?

I’m such a numpty. I meant scart not hdmiShould be the opposite.
New TVs don't have scart connections.
You are a star. ThanksFew things I considered when buying one a couple of years back -
Curved or flat? Personally I prefer flat, but check them out in the shop and think how it would work from various viewing angles in your house.
Does it have a receiver built-in for Saorview?
Does it have a satellite receiver built-in? Handy if you have a dish and want to tune in the free channels.
Ensure it has enough HDMI ports. 3-4
SCART is analogue and quite a few TVs are digital only these days. However for €20 you can buy a SCART-to-HDMI adapter on Amazon which would be worth a try.
You may want a new Chromecast as the built-in equivalent are often only OK.
As others have said, must be 4K/UHD.
If you choose any of the decent brands the screen quality will be fairly similar, by lying more you get a thinner bezel, better CPU for the various apps, more ports, more receivers etc. But there are diminishing returns here; you probably don’t want to surf the web on it, 3D is fairly naff at home etc., so as others have said I’d stay well below €1000.
Something like this would probably float my boat if I was looking today - https://www.currys.ie/ieen/tv-and-h...ra-hd-hdr-led-tv-with-bixby-10191733-pdt.html
Powercity's customer service is awful if something happens the tv. I bought an LG there that lasted 4 days (manufacturing fault) and they wouldnt' cover it under warranty.PowerCity have very similar prices to RicherSounds.

I bought a replacement in Currys (which I highly recommend) and opted for the monthly insurance at €3.50.
Those monthly insurance policies are probably the worst value for money you can get!!
It's why I stick to Richer Sounds. I have always found them knowledgeable and helpful. And they give a 6 year guarantee.Don't think I ever had to return anything to them, but oddly enough I had a similar experience with Currys. Took a few months and the initiation of small claims proceedings to get them to to accept responsibility for a warranty issue.
