Would be a nice upgrade


My inlaws have a Veon TV that has to be 15 years old. It has no contrast - basically everything is grey. Meant to get a photo but forgot.
I am sure they think it's their eyesight, but man it's a horrible TV and they refuse to replace it as it still works.
They will not accept a new tv as a gift, but would 100% accept a prize we won but didn't need.
Would be payback for the 100's of hours of taking care of the grandkids :)
I'm locking this while I extract the data and run the draw.

Nice way to kick off the week on a high !
I've never won anything like this before.
Big thanks to Mauricio and Geekzone, LG and all you guys.
Geekzone is not a bad place to hang out.
😄
Cheers,
An update.
The TV was delivered last week.
Initial impressions was it's very flash but won;t fit on my old stand as the LG's feet are fixed too far apart.
Solved with a quick visit to PBTech for an aftermarket solution.
Operation is pain with the "Magic Remote" - too few buttons and too much buried in multi-page menus
:(
A solution is on the way in the form of an old school remote with many dedicated buttons - thanks Mr LG !
Once sorted the picture is very good, albeit with a distinct digital look even with all the picture improvement things switched off.
4k off Youtube. 4k UHD disc shows an improvement over 1080p sources, not so much in sharpness or brightness but in colour depth.
Slow Horses in 4k still has a horrible green tint 🤣
Sound from the built-in speakers was very good.
Overall an excellent entree to the world of 4K and OLED.
Thanks again to Mauricio and LG NZ.
Attached is a still of the same BD I used on my old Samsung 15 years ago !
Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon - one of the most beautiful looking films ever.
😄

Dylan from LG sent me a traditional remote,
Loaded with buttons allowing direct access to functions that were hidden on the Magic remote.
I much prefer this old fashioned remote to the new fangled ones.
Kudos to LG for the option.
:)

Interesting. I used the new remove style and liked it. It does take a bit of practice as it's very different.

I don't think anything will ever beat the old Mitsubishi jog-shuttle VCR remotes.
I only wish I still had our old HS-M68.
