We got three of different sizes, the Main lounge, as previously posted, This one https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/p/veo.../R2708608.html Why pay basically $2000 for old tech.

Haven't played with the Google Play Store yet but its inbuilt and works.

We had a Veon as Wainui says great picture crap speakers. Only reason we don't have it now is we picked up a second hand Panasonic smart for $80.

On my tablet for example (Huawei) no longer supports SparkSport. The system just moves on and leaves you stranded with an app that no longer works. Is this likely to happen on a TV?

Yes, all "Smart" (read: stupid) TVs will eventually become unsupported. The question is when. I'd say you'll be lucky to get 5 years before they ditch it. If it's second-hand it may be a lot closer to being unsupported already.

You're better off getting a plain standard T.V. and for any fancy streaming program, connect a computer etc to it, as a PC takes a lot longer to become obsolete, and you can usually upgrade the OS a few times to keep up with everything.

Personally, I'd try fixing the old T.V... Sony are decent. If it's not the backlights, it could be a simple fix. Not that that helps you, I expect, but hey.

32" Samsungs, Panasonic and Sony on TRademe average $50.
Cash Converters have numerous, $40...a lot without remotes but some with.

They threw in a Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones worth about $649 at the time. I usually don't get deals like that so I wonder, what's the catch?

Bryan,
Still puzzled how you managed to pay 18thousand for a TV?
