Has anyone hot rodded theirs with all the extra Hue bits? Picked up a Philips the other day and I'm really feeling the Ambilight. Well underrated as a feature.
how bright is it? thinking about getting one for the bedroom but don't want to be blinded…
It's a backlight so it's never going to blind you.
Plenty of settings too…
Probably wouldn't bother for the bedroom though.

Any thoughts on the positives and negatives of a Panasonic TX-43GX550B versus a Samsung UE43RU7100 versus a Sony Bravia KDL43WF663?
I've always bought Panasonic in the past but wondered if anyone had experience of these others.

Lifelong Sony customer, but switched to Samsung last year as I like what they're doing with the whole gap less wall mounting and one box solution they offer. There aren't many other manufacturers out there which are doing the same.
If you're not wall mounting, go for Sony, purely due to picture and build quality, rather than features, etc. Also try and make sure you're getting a TV that runs Android o/s. Some apps like Amazon Prime eventually drop support for manufacturers own operating system and you end up having to buy a Firestick or similar.

Difficult to say as my previous Sony ones were only up to 1080p, the Samsung one I have now is 4K. I find the colours to be a little bit more natural on the Sony than the Samsung, but that's most likely due to the lack of me playing around with the settings on the Samsung than anything else. Build quality? Well we'll see, but previous Sony TVs have lasted a very very long time.
+1 for samsung. We've got a frame TV and it's brilliant, everything about it from the look and features we couldn't really ask for more. As rirawiun said the no gap and box are really handy.
I was worried about the colours and especially the blacks(no racist) but its really good. 4k stuff looks amazing

Job done, it’s an OLED, supports all the HDR formats and the ambilight is a good gimmick if you watch in the dark. The panel is a LG panel as well, which is top.

Got this a few months ago and it's pretty fucking amazing, is now at a cheaper price for anyone wanting a solid OLED https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/philips-55oled754-55-smart-ambilight-4k-ultra-hd-oled-tv-ps89010-delivered-at-ao-using-code-3516797
Before I call John Lewis I just thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced this problem with a Sony Bravia (KD-49XE7003) - had it about 18 months and I've just noticed some flickering, seems to happen whether it's on the PS4, Netflix (through the TV) or even just digital aerial.
It did start up after I moved some cables around at the back the other day but I've unplugged/replugged and it's still happening, anyone had similar issues?
