Bush 49 Inch Full HD 1080p Freeview HD LED TV

Bush 49 Inch Full HD 1080p Freeview HD LED TV - big screen does not necessarily mean big price


Bush is a cheap UK brand that offers mainly consumer electronics (tablets, smartphones etc.) and home appliances. They are not largely popular outside the UK, but the range products they offer is surprisingly large – they have everything from small electronics through televisions and even large kitchen appliances.

While Bush prices are low, they always come with a fairly big warning sign as there is never enough information online for shoppers to do their research on before parting with their money. This is to say, reviews, tests or detailed specifications of their products are not readily available as with largely popular brands such as Samsung, Sony etc.

To shed some light on this brand, we will review one of their TV models – the Bush 49-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart TV – which is sold exclusively at Argos and specifications include a 4K ultra resolution, motion rate 50, 2 HDMI ports, 2 USB ports, Smart apps with WiFi, DLNA, web browser and a dual-core processor. Argos are listing this on their website for £349.99 which is a bit more than $440. At such a low price, a fairly large TV as this one is very much a good bargain. However, specs-wise, there is nothing impressive to offer here.

It comes with Netflix out of the box, but we need to warn you that this TV does not come with 4K features such as HDR. This means that if you are planning to buy this TV for use on gaming consoles such as PS4 Pro or Xbox One S consoles, you may not be able to support this format.

In regard to the picture quality, as mentioned above, this TV does not offer 4K upscaling or UHD dimming either.  The picture itself is mediocre, not really sharp and clear. There is much room for improvement in the viewing angles, motion is also not represented well – viewing sports may not be the best experience. Colours are represented fairly well and are realistic, whites are a bit dim though. The overall picture and sound quality is not high, but is passable. In this price range, this TV fares lower than average, but not too bad, if I may say that.


Going back to the warning signs though, as there is no official product listing for this model, no Bush 49-inch 4K TV reviews online, no word whatsoever on input lag and no manual to download.

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV review

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV price, specs and review Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A  Full HD LED TV Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A review - today at our consumer blog we are going to take a look at one of the latest 42-inch Sony Full HD TVs which offers great picture quality and will suit best everyone who needs an excellent home cinema experience without 3D effects. Sony Bravia KDL-42W650 is still not very popular around the world and the reason for that is not the lack of quality or functions which this TV is fully packed with but because of the fact that the  KDL-42W650/ KDL-42W650A is mostly going to be sold in Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia. Of course you can find this TV in other countries as well but it is still not presented in huge markets like UK and USA.

Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 First Look Review: Did They Fix the Flaws?

Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3: Flaw Fixed, Efficiency Gained Hey everyone, and welcome back! I was excited to finally get my hands on the third generation of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 . As many of you know, I spent a good amount of time with the Gen 2, and while it was a solid business machine, there were definitely a few things that needed attention. This is my very first look at the Gen 3, and I wanted to share my initial feedback on what’s improved and what hasn’t. The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.
