Hi Jackie & All,
We are also thinking about getting a new TV and the one you're getting
Jackie sounds like it would be a very good contender. I wonder if it works
as a recorder as well if you plug in an external HD or USB drive?

Subject: [access-uk] Television update
For those who've been following this thread, I just want to offer a quick
update to my search for an accessible TV. I've finally gone with an Lg
43UN73006LC 43" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV with Google Assistant & Amazon
Alexa. My sisters-in-law and I went to the shop this morning so that I
could ask the relevant questions and have a play with the TV. The chap
turned on both Voice Guide and Audio Description, and let me handle its
remote control. The voice is English Serena so she is better than the voice
used on Samsung models to be honest. This particular TV has dual tuners,
Freeview and Freesat which was one of the features I was looking for. Voice
Guide reads all the menus, channel information and the EPG. They didn't
have Alexa or Google Assistant configured, but the one remote control does
it all, there is no need to buy a Magic remote. It's coming on Saturday
when the guy will set it up for us.
My only reservation is whether the Sonos Playbase will allow me to control
the volume of the TV through its remote control. The Playbase has an
Optical cable that goes between it and the TV. The newer models, Beam and
Arc, have HDMI ports on them. I don't see why it wouldn't work because our
existing TV works perfectly with Playbase, we bought them at the same time.
I did take a look at the Beam while I was in the shop today as it was near
me, but I don't want to replace my Playbase if I can help it, I like it.
So if anyone is looking for a new TV, then throw LG into the mix. I'll get
a Chromecast eventually so I can cast any external apps that aren't
accessible through my phone.
Thanks for all the help, feedback and potential model numbers, it's been an
interesting week or two.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown
