Greetings all
Apologies in advance, but in the last month i have had a Graphics card kark it, a hard drive begin dying, a few other appliances die and unexpected bills crop up so my budget is tighter than a ducks posterior
OK part way through watching something yesterday the sound died on my TV, the TV is about 5-6 years old, I turned it off and on again and sound came back, but this morning when i sat down to watch a nice relaxing murder, and no sound, I fiddled with settings etc, i plugged headphones in to the headphone port, no sound there either.
So in summary
Picture is Fine
Most of what i watch comes from my old MagicTV box via HDMI cable to the TV, ( replaced cable still no sound)
Tried the Apple TV No sound
Switched the TV to the aerial input (No Sound)
Plugged headphones into the earphones port on the TV no sound
And no mute isn't on
So i am assuming the sound board is poked?
and that the cost to repair is going to be dear as it is out side of warranty by a few years
So would i just be better off buying a cheap TV like this
Which seems to have better specs than my current TV, or the
Which to be honest looks marginally better specced as far as budget boxes go, but will i notice 3 inches less (no dodgy comments)
Any input would be appreciated
