I have a Sony android TV I bought just before Xmas, BEST thing I ever bought. I have installed KODI and get virtually every football match in the world live from kick off, every movie you can think of and boxed sets all for zilch a month. TV has been faultless and I wish I had bought one sooner.

You obviously live in area where EVERYTHING is broadcast in 4K ... lucky you !!

Calling people idiots isn't going to endere you to anyone.

All posts get cold votes initially & eventually (if it's a good deal) the heat will come!!

Lol at the people charging out to buy crappy cheap 4k panels. Why?

Because: suckers for marketing.

Arguably 4k isn't even worth too much on a relatively small TV such as this if you sit more than 7/8 feet away. Even besides this point, until the day comes where you have like 51 percent of your viewing in 4k or a significant portion, then you're wasting your time with 4K sets especially cheap ones.

They are likely to have naff cheap panels with pish colour representation and average blacks, no support for HDR (no 10 bit panels at this sort of price yet) so they will be obsolete as fast as a 1080p set anyway when HDR 4k content arrives this year. Wonder why there are so many cheap 4k sets? Because they are clearing all the old ones out for HDR capable 2016 models.......

Cheaper 4k sets will also likely look genuinely horrible with SDTV or SD content because poor upscaling, potentially average with 1080i/p content for the same reason. They will almost certainly have poorer response times for gaming, and they will probably have poorer viewing angles than a good 1080p set.

I would bet most people would be better off for many years with a quality 1080p set like this, than a cheap 4k one. What are the HDTVs with the best pictures on sale today? OLEDs. Even 1080p OLEDs beat up expensive 4k LED TVs.

How can that be!!! Surely moar pixels = best right? Obviously not.

Think carefully about what you might use a HDTV for. If it's mostly SDTV, 1080i broadcasts and 1080p gaming, why precisely are you buying a cheap 4k LED set with no HDR support??? It'll surely look inferior to a great 1080p panel for nearly all the time you are using it......by the time 4k content abounds, affordable OLED and 10 bit HDR will have made it obsolete just as fast.

Nothing wrong with a Lenovo-YOGA. :laughing:

Just ordered from Electrical Experience for only £413.00 (Best price out there folks)
and comes with a SONY 5yr warranty and FREE DELIVERY, yes SONY, they will look after you
(old for new as well :innocent:)
Richer Sounds don't give you this folks, and just checked £449 is their best price and wouldn't budge as PRC are out of stock now, minus say your VIP voucher of £10 = £439 is the final price :disappointed:
but i done a simple google search and PriceSpy popped up and Electrical Experience were there
And with this Sony Bravia 48" the operator has stated the actual TV stand converts in to the wall bracket with all the extras bits and bobs needed to put it up on your wall, saves you buying a wall bracket off ebay (cheapest)
Now that's cool and has to be HOT!!! :sunglasses:

Bought this TV for £380 on ebay tesco outlet. Great picture on both HD and SD, has Netflix and Amazon Prime apps. Sure, it doesn't have Android TV with Kodi but I'd rather use a dedicated Nexus Player which will be supported by Google for the next few years than relying on a TV manufacturer to constantly update their firmware.

i got a 55" W809 (refurbished) for £449 delivered last week direct from sony so deal is mediocre tbh.

i'll give it heat though for all the idiots advocating 4K

Yeah buy a 4k tv and be amazed how bad SD and HD sources look.
:sunglasses:

Have some heat OP and ignore the #@*&£$s

So I think that proves I did do my research and that you good sir are what is affectionately known as a muppet.

I did check and do research. Really because when I checked none are 48inch and none have 6year guarntee

Full HD omg welcome to 2010. Cold.

There have been several Samsung 4k's and LG 4ks posted on here recently for less than £500 do some research instead of criticising objective comments! (..xx..) of the week!

Thanks for posting this Deal. I wish it was "55 for this price as i have a Sony "42" and as prices fall i may treat myself when the times right :-)

Look at YouTube, loads of tutorial videos.

good tv still in my book, nice find op, been eyeing this one up for a while now.torn between this or splash some more cash on either the sony kdl 50w 755c at 529 or the samsung 48 h6400 at 499.

I bought a sony 50inch android from the argos ebay site fo £480 new.i've installed kodi on it with the quality and speed being awesome.kodi crashes about once in 10-20 time and takes a couple of quick with the remote to restart the kodi app.its the same with my firestick. so for me android on the tv is awesome!

Wow someone is taking a negative comment a bit seriously, maybe the Internet isn't the place for you if you're that easily offended

Install Kodi and join a group or do some research.PLP in Kodi.Mint feeds if you know where to look.

Oh look. A comments section on the internet with people's different opinions!

​How do you use KODI to watch football matches for free :O

As for its 2 years old, arguably a better TV set IMO.

Just ordered one myself!

Probably I'm on mobile and nothing more riles me when people critise a good deal. Its not 4K fine and it was launched 2 years ago but for ***** sake it's a sony for just over 400 with a 6year guarntee I hope these muppets have the Hitachi 4K and I seriously pray it packs up 2years old

​Did you mean to quote the other guy? Cos I'm agreeing with you from the start! Lol

Show me a 4K TV with 6 year guarntee for 400quid that is not Hitachi,hisense,vestel... On this thread...when your ready....

Oh you cant and what's more the latency input on the cheap 4K TV is absolutely awful not to mention the contrast and lightbleed

Old tech! Cold!

You can buy a 4k TV for this money. Not old tech. Getting colder.

A huge plus of this TV is that it is NOT android. :smiley:

Looks a good TV though so hot from me.
