Hi, I am a bit overwhelmed here... having recently moved to Denmark, I am looking to get a new TV. In addition to the sticker shock, it seems that the models are different here too. For this reason, I was hoping to find some help here. I am looking for a Smart TV that can get US apps to watch American networks (already have DNS set up, and this works on a computer in my house). In addition to that, I was hoping the TV:
I don't mind waiting a few weeks or months to get one if it means getting the right TV (and waiting for a sale for it to hit my price range). Also, I don't have an antenna or any cable tv, so all content would probably be digital. Any suggestions on what TV to get, or at least some ways to make my search more manageable? Also, is there anything else I should look out for? Thanks, - Bob |

We maintain a list of TV's currently on sale at FlatpanelsDK: http://www.flatpanels.dk/fokusartikel.php?subaction=showfull&id=1320152757" rel="nofollow - http://www.flatpanels.dk/fokusartikel.php?subaction=showfull&id=1320152757 HDR and UHD Premium at 8000 dkk is going to be a struggle. At best you will find a TV that supports HDR, but doesn't make the cut for the Premium sticker. The best bet wouyld have been the Samsung KS-series from last year, but they are sold out. The MU-versions seems to be less of a bargin as picture quality isn't on par. You'll get the best experience on an OLED, but at 8000 dkk this isn't going to happen anytime soon. ------------- FlatpanelsDK - Alt om fladskærms-tv, mediebokse og tv-markedet |

I would suggest a box like Apple TV4 or Nvidia Shield. These can easily be configured to access the US app stores. Chromecast on the other hand is not an optimal solution because the DNS is static. I haven't done extensive testing in terms of accessing US apps on Smart TVs but I can imagine that there would be some limitations. Be aware that unlike media players such as Apple TV and Nvidia Shield, Smart TVs are designed to be sold to specific regions (typically US, Europa, Asia). Also be aware that most Smart TV platforms are not updated year-to-year. As soon as next year's line-up is announced, the old TVs are typically forgotten. If you decide to go for a Smart TV solution, the best choice in your situation would likely be an Android TV but I think a media player built on an evolving operating system is a better solution. ------------- https://www.flatpanels.dk/TVdatabasen.php" rel="nofollow - TV-databasen - Sammenlign TV - Flatpanels |

| Thanks... I had read a little on the limitations of some Smart TVs... so perhaps it is best to completely ignore this aspect, but I was hoping not to because if I need to get other devices, it will eat into the money I have for the TV... I currently have an Apple TV from the States (it works over here), but it is not 4K so without Smart TV apps, I probably will be limited to watching 1080p content. |

Down the road your smart tv, will not be updated and you will need to buy something like Nvidia Shield anyway. Smart tv is not a big deal anyway and should'nt be your focus if you plan to keep the display for more than a couple of years. ------------- endnu en hifi-flygtning Kabeldiskussioner - Dumhed i metermål |

I am sure you are right... was just looking for a simple solution for the family. I think the 1st step is to get a quality TV, then over time, add on devices like speakers and a 4K media box
