Televisions (selection, operation, feedback and discussion)

Girls, what are you responsive, thank you all very much
But my questions didn't end
I'll explain in order: I watch TV very rarely, but some channels are still interested)))
My son gave a hard drive and I pumped a lot of interesting things onto it, and since it's hard for me to look from a laptop monitor due to vision problems, I was puzzled by the purchase of a TV with a corresponding input. At the dacha, this is very important for me.
I chose the Samsung UE24H4080 model
LED TV SONY BRAVIA KDL32RD303BR 32 ", HD READY
Sonya was advised in the M-video, referring to the Malaysian assembly and supposedly they are better than me first.
It turned out in principle, I chose a "monitor" with a remote control.
And now, after reading the topic, I realized that it can work for its intended purpose if I buy a receiver
Did it get to me right?
Or do you need an indoor antenna?
And please help me decide on a TV, I would like a budget, but not the cheapest. I'm not interested in bells and whistles.
And is the area where I watch TV with this receiver important? we have a forest nearby, the city of Ryazan is 70 km away, there are no towers nearby.
The Internet is rather weak.
Sorry for the silly questions, but I really don't own this question

[lydia]

lydia, Lida, I’ll write on TV now.
At the dacha there is also Sony KDL, and earlier, until 2012, there were digital channels from a conventional terrestrial antenna, but the broadcasting grid changed the encoding and they are not readable.
Honestly, I thought about reflashing these TVs, but the techies said that this would not help and only the set-top box.

🔗

All TVs have the ability to watch from the hard drive. Only the disk must be FAT 32, NTFS cannot be read. Well, whoever downloaded it is aware of it.
Honestly, I like Samsung more than Sony, but you choose what is more pleasing to your eye.
If you have analog channels, regular broadcasting, then with a set-top box they will show even better. You don't need indoor antennas, you need an external antenna.
And, choose a digital receiver with the ability to connect a flash drive, I think they are all like that now. This receiver reads the MKV format for me.

And if you have Wi-Fi, then it's best to buy a SMART TV, then you won't need a set-top box either.
Good luck!

HD READY

Only FULL HD! You want to watch movies from disk. And enjoy the Blue-Ray.

Bijou,

Translate?) We work on the same antenna.

Well, the antenna was stuck in the TV, and now it's in the box)))

Necessarily, this is also an opportunity to watch 3D movies, if you use Smart TV, then a lot of movies and cartoons in 3d. I have a Samsung Led 48.
We really like it more than the Sony KDL 50

digital television receiver for broadcasting?

Actually, I'm going to take it for a summer residence. And I want to experience it in the city too. Tricolor unfortunately "sulked".

Peace be with you bakers!

And we bought at work for 980 rubles shows 32 channels

Well, look at the expense from a hard one, if you have a laptop, it’s no problem at all

Cruel in the laptop, laptop in the TV set and choose - display the image in ...

[an antenna is still needed]

All material has been carefully studied
And I realized that an antenna is still needed
and I wanted to do without her.At the dacha, the antenna was fixed (before the tricolor still) at the highest point of the house (on the ridge of the roof and there something was installed, so this thing after a strong thunderstorm often had to be changed)

and now I'm afraid to let my husband go to the roof

He himself is a big fan of television and he has a tricolor in his support group))))
And this option with a receiver decided to pamper herself beloved.
And how beautiful it all began
Thanks to EVERYONE, I have become smarter now and I will be able to express myself intelligently with sellers in the store

and two screens will light up?
will the laptop still manage? Or can I use the TV remote control?

I would like more comfort

And we bought at work for 980 rubles shows 32 channels

how to reproduce this miracle in the wilderness of the forest? (I agree even for 5-6 channels, but with a good picture.

[space]

space, but can I call an antenna specialist? They will pick up an antenna for you and put an amplifier.

Nadyush, all the local "specialists" use the tricolor (and they only push it) and summer residents too.
But I'm a purposeful lady, so I'll think about solving the problem
If the option with a room antenna (if such still exist) came up - then the very IT

But I'm a purposeful lady, so I'll think about solving the problem

🔗

Thank you, Nadya, for the link
looks like you answered my open-ended question

Peace be with you bakers!

The screen will light up alone, of course, control from the laptop, but I don't see this as a problem at all

At the dacha, I had a TV set without a user input, and after pumping up the movies at home / at the dacha, the Internet was stupid / attached to the sofa with a bottle of beer and indulged in absorbing world cinema, occasionally stopping the film and looking at the loaded pages

The only inconvenience is typing the text with the mouse, but it’s as if quickly

At the dacha, I had a TV set without a user input

I still need to buy a TV set, so I want to take everything into account so that later there are no "surprises" (((

The screen will light up alone, of course, control from the laptop, but I don't see this as a problem at all

I tried this option, only I had both screens glowing, and the laptop "turned away" from itself.
But I would like more comfort when viewing

Peace be with you bakers!

Well, now probably all TVs are already with yusb inputs, well, or you can immediately take a smart one, although it will slow down with a weak signal

And with the laptop, you did something wrong \ output the signal to the monitor and on the laptop the screen goes out, and of course the mouse without a wire so as not to jump

And with the laptop you did something wrong

[Jouravl]

Jouravl, we also bought the same receiver for the dacha, but our TV is simpler Hisense LHD32D50TS, 100% satisfied.

[space]

FULL HD only! You want to watch movies from disk. And enjoy the Blue-Ray.
You can read it here. Search for "What's the difference between HD Ready and FullHD TVs?"

Yes, at twenty-four inches, the difference will be just colossal.

space, our receivers show excellent performance on such antennas, which caught one and a half channels from analog air, and even those in half with interference.) So it would be good to try first with what we have. And only then solve problems as they become available.

And with the laptop you did something wrong \ output the signal to the monitor and on the laptop the screen goes out

My screen (monitor) does not go out either. Although I was digging through the settings.

Peace be with you bakers!

I was not too lazy and took a picture of the whole process, so to speak.

Here is a laptop and a TV set with some kind of transmission

Click on the screen and select the monitor

on the TV set, select the input \ depending on which cable you connected with \ I got this one under my arm

well, the result the TV became a monitor and the laptop does not light up

I was not too lazy and took a picture of the whole process, so to speak.

thank you very much

shade,
Thank you ! I will try.

Since the topic is about telly, I will share information. It's LG's Eldorado week now. We decided to change the TV set, but since we only have a satellite at our dacha (that is, Tricolor) and LG is tailored for them, we were told to buy it to get rid of the receiver and just insert the block into the TV set. The action is as follows. You buy equipment in Eldorado (anyway), but if LG gives a coupon for 25% of the cost and until April 2 you can use it when buying any lg equipment. It is interesting that on Saturday we looked at the TV set, and when we came to buy this model on Sunday, it was no longer there. We took what was 49 naturally 4k smart. While standing in the box. Model 603 seems. On coupon 9750 we will go tomorrow and buy out 43 diagonal as a gift for 13500😆. TVs sweep that strange. Our cheapest, but with tricolor HD picture is excellent. I don't know about ultra HD yet. We have 3 TV sets and 3 receivers. In the bedroom 43 Philips. When we changed the receiver to HD, the image became just ah ...

49 naturally 4k smart.

Why 4K on such a small diagonal?

[Bijou]

Bijou.49 inches small diagonal ??? It is 124 cm.
Now I also watched the TV set for the children in the room, all the same I stopped at the Samsung 49, it seems the last figure 550 ...
At my dacha, everyone has their own personal TV, two Phillips, one Sony, one Grundig. Now I was trying to deal with ND cables, they are needed only for high-definition TVs, old ones can be connected using bells. I'll try this weekend. In general, the cost of these cables is quite high, from 500 to 1000 rubles I have now removed this one from the blu ray player.

[Jouravl]

Jouravl, yes 124 wanted 55 but we don't fit.

4k

And what are you looking at it? Rather, who launches a picture in 4k for you?)
Just wondering, has Moscow already switched to 4k?

[RepeShock]

RepeShock, Ira is still nothing. But in Tricolor there are already 3 channels already ... but this is for the future. Moreover, the price is very loyal. OLEd makes no sense to take for a satellite that's for sure. True, you need to pay extra for these channels.

[Ira]

in Tricolor there are already 3 channels already

Yes? We need to look at the dacha later)
Thank you, Ira

We now have an old Leowe in its place. While the receiver was ordinary, he had the best picture. All super Brand. As soon as the HD receivers were installed, he was a loser, even taking into account its super color rendering, and Fhd Phillips took the lead😂😂😂

Bijou, 49 inches small diagonal ??? It is 124 cm.

For 4K? Of course.) The difference will be noticeable only if used as a monitor in front of the nose. And so the lot of ultra hi-d well from at least 55 inches, IMHO. And even then our usual 55 is perfectly perceived even from a couple of meters.

It's like megapixels in fotik - like everyone wants more of them for some reason, but few people understand why he needs to print banners from photos later.))

Just wondering, has Moscow already switched to 4k?

))
No, well, there is a Tricolor with this resolution on several channels.

[RepeShock]

RepeShock, a receiver is needed for this case ... or a block.

Added Wednesday 15 March 2017 4:51 pm

Bijou, Lena, why take the last century if you can take a modern TV set for the same money.

I am also considering Smart, there is no wai fay yet, but I hope I will solve this issue. We also have NTV plus, the wiring is done throughout the house and sometimes I drag the receiver to another room to watch ND films.

a receiver is needed for this case ... or a block.

I mean, additional?

I, in general, am interested in pure curiosity)))) I rarely watch TV.
We bought a Philips TV at the dacha about 2 years ago, because you can watch TV there only via satellite. And old TVs are poorly suited for this)
With Tricolor HD it shows that the eye is straight

Biju, Lena, why take the last century if you can take a modern TV set for the same money.

Well, yes .. Probably, we should look specifically at the models. Nothing happens from nothing, if you reported something of one, then cut something else to fit into the same budget, IMHO.

In short, if only you like it.
Our daughter chose her that year (more precisely, before the last new year). Looked at a bunch of including ultra. Which godlessly buggy in her hands. As a result, I bought a top-end Philips 55 with normal resolution and full ambilight. But it cost almost half the price of the same, but with 4k, 70 versus 130. So in our case it didn't work "for the same money." ((

Shows stunned as cool, but she looks at it most often those channels that generally broadcast in SD resolution. But smart advanced - you can even watch movies from the browser.

[Bijou]

Bijou, Lena once again say we have ONLY satellite. Therefore, the picture will be good in any case, and the price of the issue is 38 tons. Moreover, we will take 43 more for 13500.

Biju, once again I say we have ONLY a satellite.

Uh .. We do too. Three pieces. What do you mean?

4K is overkill, (an advertising move like the matrixes of fotik with a bunch of pixels) has no content for it, and you need to watch it from a maximum of 1.5-2 meters in order to feel the WOW effect. Plasma was removed from production, OLEDs are very expensive and the technology is crude, sad ...
In the Hi-End segment, oddly enough, Panasonic with its own-made matrices drives LG, I won't say anything about modern Philips, the old one was not a fountain, many new Telefunken, Akai, Aiwa, Thomson companies have appeared, which must be treated with caution, brands are heard but ....

4K overkill (an advertising move, like the matrixes of fotik with a bunch of pixels), there is no content for it

I am interested in your opinion at the end of 2017, 4K torrents have already appeared ...
at the moment, you can't buy a TV without 4k in chain stores.

Peace be with you bakers!

The difference between 4K and 1080p will be noticeable if the display is about 80 inches, and the minimum distance to the panel is 2.5 meters
Today, most television channels transmit a picture not even in 1080p, but in 720p, that is, the high definition of the image, which a 4K panel potentially possesses, while watching Russian television, you cannot yet evaluate
The only thing is streaming games, here yes, everything flies, the picture is real But there are still not very many of them

[shade]

shade, have you reported from personal experience? What is your diagonal? LG or Samsung? We have only 10 digital channels, apparently we will change the operator of Internet services. At the moment, the diagonal is 55 Samsung, the distance from the TV is from 3 to 5 meters, originally wanted nano-cell LG.

Peace be with you bakers!
Samsung 54.6 "in my son's room, weighs 2.5 meters on the wall from the sofa, he mostly has games, well, so I would turn it on and there is no such thing in shock
I like the fact that there are two tuners, recording in the body, TimeShift, you can not wait for advertising to run to the toilet, well, it is convenient that there is a remote control, you do not need to get up programs to switch

I quarreled with this remote control, I say, show the movie The Lord of the Rings Episode 1, such an infection shows some trailers (One disappointment. Where to look for high-quality content ... The husband is playing on his computer, my daughter is not yet grown up to toys

[Loremia]

Loremia, My opinion has not changed, and the trackers cover it. The fact that TVs on sale are 4K is normal, in what resolution the user chooses to watch. I'm afraid 4K will suffer the fate of 3D

Peace be with you bakers!
Alexander-
We've played enough with 3d - rarely when we look
And I think 4k will soon pick up momentum and will cost ordinary money

Loremia--
With the remote control, sometimes troubles arise

shade,
Thank you ! I will try.

Didn't work for me
On Windows 10, apparently somehow differently.




Something happened. The picture is on the TV, but the sound is still coming from the computer



The sound was output only to the bluetooth speakers.

Peace be with you bakers!
Aenta--
Well, the simplest thing is if you have a 3.5-size dad-dad lace \ the one that is put into the player \
We put one end into the laptop - into the hole for the headphones and the other into the TV set in AUDIO IN

[Loremia]

Loremia, My opinion has not changed, and the trackers cover it. The fact that TVs on sale are 4K is normal, in what resolution the user chooses to watch. I'm afraid 4K will suffer the fate of 3D

it's just that there is less quality content in the public domain, and then why feed people with freebies)

if you have a lace

there's no such thing. I connected the laptop to the TV set via HDMI

Do you have such or a similar "Sound" icon?

🔗

Open and switch to TV with HDMI

You can try everything there. Good luck!
