Panasonic’s TX-L24X6 might only be a compact size at 24” but that certainly doesn’t mean it loses out as with its spec and imagery produced its every bit as good as its larger counterparts.

So what makes this TV so brilliant you might wonder? Well let’s take a look at what it has to offer and then you can decide for yourself! Compared to other similar sized TVs from other manufacturers it may seem a little on the expensive side, however the benefits you get from the set well make it worth its price tag.

Whatever content you decide to throw at the TXL24X6B you get the same imagery on screen which is in a word amazing. The LED backlight panel provides an impressive level of colour and contrast with true to life details so that even the smallest of detail is shown on screen. Blacks are deep and inky yet whites are bright and crisp and at no point does the image appear unrealistic, images are true to life and natural.

Its wide viewing angle ensures that no matter where you sit to watch you get the same amazing reproduction without having to miss out on brightness or image quality.

With the New Year fast approaching time for old with the old and in with the new maybe?

With a new year approaching, many people have an “out with the old and in with the new” mentality. Many of us see this as the time for a new start with lots of us making New Year’s resolutions that we will try to stick to (though most of us will fail miserably at this!). So if this New Year you are looking for something new a great idea for this is to have a look at upgrading your home entertainment system and keep yourself entertained throughout the rest of the cold winter months.  

There are a number of great ways you can look at to upgrade your home entertainment system and they don’t have to cost a fortune either so we’ve got a number of suggestions for you. Making even a small change really does make a difference!

1. Soundbar: These are a great addition to your TV and offer a number of benefits. Soundbars have become more and more popular over the last year with the main reason being that they are slim and space saving and allow you to get top quality sound reproduction for both movies and music without taking up a lot of room, perfect for those of you who don’t have room for a full on home cinema system. As most TVs are slim nowadays the sound reproduction isn’t brilliant so adding one of these allows you to get amazing sound effects and to listen to your favourite music in style. They are not complicated either and with most offering HDMI connectivity it’s as simple as plug in and use.  With soundbars on offer from a whole range of manufacturers such as LG, Samsung, Panasonic and others you can select from a wide range too. So why not have a look at our range here.
2. Blu-Ray DVD player: With a lot of films now being released on Blu-ray it’s the ideal time to think about getting yourself one if you haven’t got one already. You can find our range by clicking here.
3. All in one cinema system: If you have got an amazing TV but don’t have the sound to match it then these are an ideal solution to your needs. You can select from 2.1ch, 5.1ch or 7.1ch systems that really do make a difference and watching movies will be a whole new experience, making you feel as though you are back in the movie theatre. They don’t have to cost a lot either as with many to choose from such as those from LG, Samsung, Panasonic and others as well you are sure to find something to suit your budget. Click here to see our range.

Of course if you can manage to stretch your budget a little further and haven’t yet got yourself one of the latest Full HD 1080p or 3D Smart TVs yet then now is the perfect excuse to treat yourself for the New Year. Have a look at our full range by clicking here or why not pay us a visit at our store in Bury and see them for yourself. At Electrical Experience we’ve got a wide range in store partnered with an expert sales team who are on hand to help you pick the best one for you or to explain anything you are not sure about so we look forward to seeing you soon.

Blu-Ray 3D:Your essential guide of what you need to know

Now that 3D technology has been around for some time you might be fooled into thinking that it’s something that everyone understands and is making use of. However, as some of us can often be afraid to try out new technology and think it’s something that could be complicated so don’t take the leap. At Electrical Experience though we don’t like to leave any of our customers in the dark or confused by the latest technology on the market so thought we’d try and explain things for you and maybe convince you to try out 3D Blu-ray.
It’s really simple to understand. Maybe the first thing to explain is what is a 3D TV? It’s essentially a TV that adds a level of depth to the picture, giving you amazing images that are appear to you as if they are popping out of the TV screen and that you could reach out and touch them. 3D stands for 3 Dimensional and there are 2 types of 3D, Active 3D and Passive 3D and at the moment both types require you to wear glasses to view the 3D images.
Active 3D requires the use of glasses that have built in shutters that basically switch images in front of your eyes at a high speed to give you a 3D effect whilst passive 3D uses glasses that have polarised filters and are low cost. Both have advantages and disadvantages, the main one being cost as the active glasses are a lot more expensive to buy and need to be recharged often where passive ones can be picked up cheaply and don’t need any charging at all. Whichever system you decide on though generally you find that manufacturers include a number of sets of glasses with the TV sets so you can get going with your 3D viewing straight away.
So to enjoy 3D Blu-Ray discs what will you need?

• Most obviously you will need a 3D TV! Whether this be passive or Active it’s completely up to you.
• 3D Glasses.
• A 3D Blu-Ray Disc player. There are a number of these to choose from and most of the ones on the market now are 3D compatible. You can have a look at our range by clicking here or give us a call and we will advise you on the best one for you. If you have got a Sony PS3 you can even make use of this as they can play 3D Blu-ray movies.
• A 3D Blu-ray Disc: There are now a large collection of these available to buy now so you should be able to find your favourite movies easily. There are more being added too as they are released. You can also play 3D Blu-Ray discs on a regular DVD player too  (but obviously you won’t get 3D playback just regular 2D)

So if you haven’t yet dived into the world of 3D then what are you waiting for as you are missing out on some amazing visual effects. Give us a call on 0161 359 3011 if you need anymore help or why not pop instore and you can see the effects of 3D Blu-Ray for yourself.

LGs new addition to its already impressive array of apps on their Smart TVs

Courtesy of What Hi Fi Magazine we have come across a news story we thought we would share with you all as we like to try and keep up to date with the latest news and developments as they happen!

We have now discovered that LG is adding in Mid-December the music streaming service Spotify to their range of apps available on their 2013 model smart TVS. Making use of the app will allow you to gain access to over 20 million songs so there is bound to be something to suit your taste and you won’t get fed up of listening to the same playlists over and over!

One drawback to this though is that you have to have a Spotify Premium Account which will set you back £9.99 but with the range of songs that you can select from and listen to we think this does offer excellent value for money. As a bonus though you do get a free months trial period so you won’t be losing anything if you just want to try it out and see if it’s for you! If you think about it buying that latest CD you want will set you back perhaps more than this and will probably only have around 20 tracks on it from one artist maybe.

With Spotify you really are spoilt for choice and can choose what to listen to and create your own favourite playlists to access whenever you want. You can also easily share your favourite music and playlists with others too via Facebook and Twitter if you want to.

So if maybe you haven’t yet invested in one of LGs Smart TVs yet then it’s the ideal time to grab one. You can have a look at our range of LG SMART TVS HERE as with other services on LGs Smart TV platform including BBC iPlayer, LoveFilm, Netflix and also access to gaming apps too it's not just about listening to music but about enjoying a whole range of other content too.

Just look at this example of an LG Smart TV as not only does it offer some amazing entertainment options with its range of apps, but it also looks stunning too!
