What TV to Buy

snoopdog · May 23, 2021, 09:19:04 PM

I have a 2 year old LG Smart tv. It went black screen yesterday as if a bulb went on it. Anyone any experience of this brand with similar issue. I've had a few lg tvs and this is the 1st I've had issue with.

Are you an Armagh fan? Most Armagh fans tvs went off because they put their boot thru it after they missed the peno against Tyrone.

Did you completely unplug it?

Yes, take the kettle lead out for 2 mins. Plug in and try again. Had a similar issue with an LG

Have had a few issues with LG LED TVs that were related to the LED strips so you might not be far off the mark re. "a bulb". If it is out of warranty your best bet is to take it to a local expert. I had the LED strips replaced in one amd prob got another 2-3 years out of it.

Bit of a random one and didn't know where to post but anyone having problems watching gaa club games on beo.sportlive on their TVs',it's a deadly service and can watch on my phone or tablet but when I try to on the Sony smart tv I have it just lags and stutters.

I just use the internet explorer app on the tv to watch it,would using chrome or some other browser help?? Maybe some setting that is preventing it from playing? Can't seem to get the screen mirroring working from my iPhone to the tv either,maybe it needs to be an Apple TV.

Is there such a thing as a lead you can get that you plug into the iPhone and into the tv that allows your phone screen to appear on your tv?? I could play the game on the phone and watch it on the tv thru the lead??

Sorry for such a random post of questions

Sounds like a Chromecast would help you. Plug it into the TV and cast video or the phone/tablet screen to your TV.

Some TVs have a mirroring function as well. Maybe check that first.

Yeah try the screen mirroring function on the phone, the wife would have used that for the likes of training classes during lockdown

Yeah googled that option and tried to set it up but can never get the option of my tv to show up on the screen mirroring section of phone. Random thing is if I'm watching a video on Facebook it always alerts me to the option of connecting to my tv and watching it there,does it quickly and works every time but that option don't seem available when I'm watching gaa game on beosport.annoying watching on phone when 55" across the room.

Il have a look at this chrome cast option that was mentioned above maybe
