New Tv confusion

I have the LG G1. The bracket is integrated into the back of the tv. So from memory you fix it to the wall and then hook to tv over it. (I already had a bracket so used that)

So in your set up I would have a piece of wood bridging between the timber uprights and then fix to that.

I’ve got a G Series also, that bracket fixes to the wall and you fold it out and hook the TV on to it.
In my case I just added a horizontal brace behind where the bracket fixed, it’s a neat design and sits completely flush in its own recess.

Surely the important question is why do you want a tv? There is so much dross. Endless repeats. Five minute uninteresting stories expanded to 50 minutes. Appalling and repetitive non persuasive commercials. Boring based on true story crap and reality crassness. Why oh why do you need or want a tv?

Jesus, how big is that tv?

The photo is deceptive, it’s a LG G Series OLED 65” :grin:
The nice thing about it being it’s designed specifically for wall mounting and is only 20mm thick.
I had the (blue) wall made to fit it and it sits in a recess with a 20mm finger gap all around it.

Speakers are Focal 300 Series (IWLCR6)
Uniti Atom using HDMI ARC

I thought the same, figuring that was the floor in front of it!

I’m looking for a 48” TV just now and quite surprised to see that classed as ‘small’.

Ahh, and very nice it looks too! :+1:

After much research I’ve just purchased the LG OLED C2 48”. It’s a superb picture & I can honestly recommend it.
Just figuring out how to use it now :rofl:

Unfortunately SMART tv’s aren’t smart enough to first sign in on the service streamer providers you want.
You have to go through the rigmarole of doing that yourself.
Once done tho it’s all easy peasy lemon squeezey.

Maybe next time! :partying_face:

As clever as mine is I still use an Apple TV 4K as the source, overall it’s just a lot easier to use and naviagate around and is family friendly.
Web OS in LG’s is ok but I still find it a bit busy as a UI whereas the Apple TV just slots in to my home ecosystem in a more straighforwards manner.
Being able to turn it all off from my Apple Watch when the children get too wild being a useful feature for example!

Sky has given us a free trial of Netflix.
The UI is really off putting. Scrolling through with a quick burp of footage every time.
Netflix seems to be a channel specialising in dystopian science fiction. Nice when your in the mood once in a while. But otherwise.

Similar here but have found that some streaming services are better via the native tv apps, for example Netflix atmos programs and Now 4k streams have soundtrack issues on the Apple box.
It would be so much easier it the stream apps worked the same on every device but i guess that device limitations prevent that.

Among my options for a new TV is the Sony Bravia XR XR48A90K which, apparently has some kind of weird tech whereby the screen acts as a speaker and seemingly does improve the TV only SQ.

I wonder though if this would bring unwanted issues when listening to the hifi in the same room, i.e would the screen, when TV switched off, still perhaps resonate somehow with the speakers? Anyone got any thoughts or indeed knowledge of this?

I remember the days when we were told even having a telephone in the same room caused sympathetic movement issues. :wink:

My set is 24 inches, and the titles are so small sometimes…

Does the screen vibrate to create sound waves like a speaker driver?

If so, does it not compromise stability of the picture?

I have a 48 inch Sony that uses that technology. It works very well indeed. No issues with the TV picture or with HiFi in the same room. While the sound quality is notably better than I have experienced with other TVs using more conventional technology, it can still be improved considerably with a good sound bar, or similar.

Cheers.

And good timing, off to JL to compare today.

I have a Muso that takes care of the soundbar role, however I’m old fashioned in sticking with TV sound when just watching the news or something!
