I may as well ask this question of the collective.

We are not big TV watchers, but we do like watching TV if the programme is worthy. We have been slow to adapt to modernity. We had a small black and white portable TV from 1978 to 1983. We only bought a colour TV when MissW was born so that she wouldn't think the outside world was black and white.

Our current first generation LCD flat screen TV is about 15 years old, and has quite serious screen burn, which resembles cumulous clouds. I can live with that. It's a 26" Panasonic and cost over £1k when it was new.

But soon to be retired and more time available means time for an upgrade.

I've just negotiated agreement to go for a 49" with SWMBO, and in the end, having illustrated the sizes with sheets of cardboard, it was easier than I expected!

So - what should I be looking for in a 49/50" TV. It seems that 4k is the thing to have plus smartness.......................

And which brand??????

And do I need a DVD player? Do I need a sound bar?

I'm well outside my comfort zone with anything which needs plugging in, unless it's a drill or concrete cutter, or angle grinder...................
