Christmas Tree 4005 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Any recommendations for a sub £350 TV for the bedroom wall. Must have. At least a 30 inch screen and be wireless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bush doesnt need a dongle, the Panasonic does. I only mention this in case the Bush fits your grannys requirements better. My mistake, it was this one my Gran got. Difference being that this one is passive 3D and doesn't require a wireless dongle but it's 500 quid. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0079WKGJC/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1353823705&sr=8-1π=SL75 If I was you I'd always go for the Panasonic over the Bush. For the sake of needing a wireless dongle, I would imagine picture and sound would be a lot better on the Panasonic. I would also consider using home plugs rather than the WiFi anyway, particularly if you're streaming HD content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Why have you never liked a plasma? Sure I read somewhere before that once you go above a certain size plasmas are the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said Plasma was best for movies. As said though, size and price rule them out in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said though, size and price rule them out in this instance. Unless they've moved on, I always understood this to be the case too. Cos the plasmas have a gel in them, they struggle with really quick moving pictures like sport, or if you watch a video of a river running where the picture is constantly changing all over the screen, the plasma struggles cos the gels can't react quick enough.

They have moved on from the early days and are considered best for movies and sports. However whenever I see them side by side a LCD I still prefer that to the plasma.

jonasjuice 0 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 So, forgive my ignorance, are dongles just a way of making your tv pick up your Wifi signal? You don't have to pay a monthly fee or anything once you've got the dongle? Are they slower at all than a tv that just has Wifi already built in?

Some tvs have the wifi built in some use a dongle. Don't know about speed difference but wouldn't have thought it would be great. My wireless set up is 3 years old and streams fine.
