I'll be getting a new TV for my new bedroom shortly... My current 49" Samsung 4k LED is ok but I bought it because it was cheap not because it was one of the better ones. It only cost about £450 back in 2017.

I do want an OLED with HDR though, as I'm getting a decent amount of 4kHDR movies these days.

So please feel free to choose what you think is the best make, and/or add your thoughts in a reply. Or share what you've got and how good/bad it is.

Not sure on a budget... I'd like a 50-55" screen size, mainly because of the location. It's only 155cm between 2 doors and I don't want it to fill the space and risk catching it as you walk in and out through doors. So a 55" would be around 120cm wide giving plenty of room. The unit going in that space is also 120cm wide and the current 49" doesn't fill it.

Answers on a postcard to... erm... vote and post below. Feel free to share and get more eyeballs on it. It's been 8yrs since I last looked at TV's and have no idea how the tech has moved on in that time.

What were the most common surnames in Cornwall in 1861? But first, why 1861? At this time – and indeed until the 1890s – in-migration into Cornwall from England was minimal, Cornwall having a higher proportion of locally born residents than any English county. Mass migration had set in during the late 1840s but the largest exodus was still to come, after the later 1860s. That took with it many distinctively Cornish surnames. But the 1850s was the decade when Cornwall’s mining economy peaked. For all these reasons 1861 seemed the best choice to capture the traditional, native stock of surnames.

The 20th most numerous Cornish surname in 1861 was Phillips and its direct spelling variants. In the medieval period Philip was a common first name, in part owing to Philip being one of Christ’s disciples, usually a short route to popularity (excepting Judas). Interestingly, it was also a favourite in south-west Wales. It had been adopted as a surname across Cornwall by the early 1500s, although by the 1600s confined mainly to mid and west Cornwall. This was because a vernacular version Philp emerged in east Cornwall in the late 1500s and became a separate and common name there.

Unlike Philp, Philip began to receive a suffixed -s in the 1630s. By the mid-1700s this process was complete. Philip was now Philips or Phillips. By 1861, when there were 424 households in Cornwall headed by a Phillips, the distribution of the surname reflected Cornwall’s population geography, with most living in the Central Mining District of Camborne-Redruth and a secondary concentration at St Austell.

The Conservatives need to stop this public nonsense of trying to win a majority. It's not going to happen. They know it, and so do we.

At this point, if they want to save seats, they should tell people that they're not going to form the next government, so they can vote for their local Conservative MP without worrying about that.

newsweek.com/biden-overtakes-t Hey #Phillips who is money are you spending? You would think they would care that you haven’t got a chance and stop supporting you. You could be feeding children with that money until the Senate passes the Child Tax Credit to help low income families. Did you vote? #DoYourJobDeanPhillips .

#Phillips is saying the quiet part out loud. He is trying to be a spoiler. #MSNBC Biden’s approval has gone up and the more people understand and feel this fantastic economy the more they will want to vote for Joe Biden. They just don’t know how lucky they are yet as the fed chair says we have a great economy. Best economy in the world after a devastating pandemic that killed 1.2 million because of tfg. #Biden2024 Jobs, income up above inflation. Dean has nothing to offer. #EmptyCampaign
