That’s why, if you read any of What Hi-Fi?’s TV reviews, home cinema system guides, or general tips and tricks, you will frequently see us recommending a sound system to go with the top sets. Front and centre in the living room was a wall-mounted 77-inch Samsung QN900B with nothing, not even a soundbar, connected. The latest example I saw was at a lifestyle launch event where the PR agency had rented a posh London townhouse. The reason the Beovision reminded me of this is that – and I’d love to see data to support this – I have seen numerous other high earners in my life repeat the mistake my old friend did: buying a ridiculously expensive set, but then failing to invest in a proper speaker system for it.
But it crystallised a key lesson, and one that I have applied to all my buying advice as a tech journalist: if you want the best experience possible, sound is just as important as picture quality. Now, I realise that this is very much a first-world problem, especially for a person getting to experience such a top-end TV in his early 20s. During the match, this meant I had frequent issues, such as the crowd’s roar not having the “shake my bones” low-end rumble I got sitting in my local pub, which had a proper 5.1-surround system, as well as frequent speaker rattle. And the reason was simple.ĭespite being willing to shell out more than £3000 (nearly $3700 in US money back then) for the TV, he hadn’t invested in a proper sound system. But powering up the TV, while we all gawked at the picture and majestic size of the set, I remember gradually becoming aware that I wasn’t getting the “wow” experience I had expected. The TV also has a place in history as the last plasma set that Sony made.Įager to experience it, we all barrelled our way into his Borough flat and fought over who got the sweet spot in the centre of the sofa. At the time, this 50-inch plasma was pretty much space-age tech to all of the rest of us, some of whom were still slumming it on CRT sets in our shared houses.
And, now that he was on the big bucks, he had invested in a Sony KDE-W50A12U. It sticks in my head, as my host had just joined a bank’s graduate scheme and had more money than God – at least compared with me, who was earning a waiter’s salary as a junior reporter.

This is based on a formative experience I had during a movie and football match night I shared with some friends just after graduating from university. But that price set off an important alarm bell in my head around getting the best bang for your buck when shopping for home cinema tech. The set also has a fairly, on paper, robust speaker system hidden behind the grilles on its front. This isn’t a dig at Bang and Olufsen which has designed the TV to work seamlessly with its Beolab 90, Beolab 50, or Beolab 28 home speakers. But, after my excitement wore off, it reminded me of one of the first key lessons I learned using top-end home cinema equipment: no matter how good a TV’s picture may be, you should always pair it with a good sound system if you want the best experience possible. Now all of a sudden it Only shows up in a totally different state and with exact name search. Is there something I could do to send signals to Google to show that I am in Matthews, NC?Ģ months ago my listing quit showing up at all unless you typed exact business name What could possibly cause my listing or Google to do this? I have been without my listing for a few months now and have NO calls coming in from it. If you search Locksmith Independence, KS it shows up on the maps. If you search Locksmith Matthews, NC my listing does not show up at all. Keep in mind the GMB is in Matthews, NC All my service areas and the actual map show the correct areas. Now if I search my business name under the auto populate I see it with Independence, KS on the listing. I pretty much do not have any traffic, views or calls now. Posted about my SAB listing a few weeks ago about not showing up in search only when you entered the exact name.
