We’ll see I guess. Hopefully I’m wrong and it stays around for a while unless or until private and fleet orders start to come through. We’ve seen the Karok sportline come and go a couple of times recently I expect for the same reason.
Surely the reason that the sport line has appeared on scheme is that they want to clear the stores of current model specific components before bringing the new spec to market. As soon as they have enough orders, or as the new spec is in production it will vanish again. Hopefully that won’t be before I can order at the end of October. The 80x is well spec’d and a good price at this AP so my advice would be if it suits, snap it up. If you’re always waiting for jam tomorrow you might be disappointed.
Could be worse, I have no sight at all and have to pick up after my guide dog while we’re out and about. Very obvious when he’s stopped to drop 1 so it’s bag on hand and fish around to look for it. Actually how unpleasant it is really depends on what you feed them. Use the complete food that you don’t need to add any meat to, just a bit of water, and it’s ok.
Have been looking at this myself as off to lake Garda in a couple of weeks. Blue badge seems to be region specific with nothing useful online that I’ve been able to find to say which regions may accept a UK blue badge or which don’t. The free or discounted entry for a disabled person or an essential companion seems to be based on a very dated by UK standards assessment of percentage of disability. Free entry to public places or transport if you are 70% to 100% disabled. Local proof of eligibility required. In practice it might mean that you get the same without evidence. Or it might not.
Does anyone think that the C40 will actually make it on to the scheme though. Starting RRP of £47-ish isn’t it? That’ll be a £10k AP then. Mind you, if the roof is especially slopey it will be ruled out for me as not guide-dog compatible. Come Motability car search, where are the low boot entry, no load lip, powered tailgate, filters?
Looks like an excellent idea addressing the concerns that many of us have about wait times. Of course the success will depend on the availability of vehicles but that isn’t something Motability can control. Good on them at least for trying something different.
Not from PRC no, Costco, we’re already members, came with 5 year guarantee from there too I think though will check and register if not. 90 day return policy was a factor although I’m now in trouble at home for trashing the packaging on day 1 so looks like we’re committed. Oh well, if it wasn’t that then I’d be in trouble for something else so doesn’t make much difference.
34 pages not for nothing. We got the Hisesne E7H (43inch). ‘er indorrs reports everythign looks eally bright. Think maybe the LG needed replacing rather sooner. Things seem to have moved on a bit in the 5 and a half years since we last set up a TV. Getting signed in to Prime, DisneyPlus, Netflix eetc. all very easy nowadays. Enjoying myself using Alexa to override the fact that I don’t have control of the remote.
Thansk @Kezo I’ll take a look at those Samsung models although I think hte lack of freeview play will rule them out. We’re on aerial with most viewing via Netflix, Disney etc. but the occasional ability to rewind the news or strictly is a nice to have. No soapss on our tele mind, she who must be obeyed only watches things with dead people in. Ideally we should have 72inch based on distance but she’ll not go for that, and i’ll not pay for it either so that’s an easy decision all round.
Hi all. A newbee here. This thread has tempted me to dip my toe in to the forum for the first time as our 5 year old (just out of warrantee) LG is on the way out. Loss of some colours on parts of the screen. Being blind myself screen size and picture quality are of little interest but I’ll have the roth of ‘er indoors to deal with if I make a bad choice so these 27 pages have made for perfect research. We’re limited to a max size of 48 inches, though 43 preferred because the TV needs to sit on a bit of furniture in an alcove in the corner of the room. She isn’t interested in changing that arrangement. For the same furniture limitation reason we ideally need a centre stand model rather than wide legs. Max budget is £500 although not going to the top of that is my personal preference. That matches perfectly all of the discussion that has gone before and which has led to the conclusion that a Hisense 43A7H or A7G would be a perfect match. A7 rather than E7 because A range has the centre mounted stand if I’ve understood correctly. I’ve ruled out the 43A7G on the grounds that it isn’t widely available and where it can be found it costs more than the A7H. For example it is £549 at Argos. Frustratingly though the E7H seems to be cheaper than the A7H. The 4357H can be had at Costco for £319 with a 5 year guarantee. SO I’m thinking that the 43E7H and buy a separate stand for around £25 is the way to go, unless that is I can persuade her to go up to 55 inch because £369 for the 55A7H looks a bargain. Unless that is anyone can suggest anything different? @kezo you seem to be the expert, what do you think? ‘er indoors seems keen on a Samsung, the UE43BU8510 (£449), but is that just brand snobbery – no Freeview Play, no Dolby, poor sound, though possibly that’s not unique to Samsung, or even the Sony KD43X72KPU. As someone who can’t see the screen it’s easy for me to question if the extra money is worthwhile. Thanks in anticipation for any suggestins – and sorry to revive things just as it looked to be coming to a conclusion.
