Can someone talk to me about smart TVs please?

So I'm finally going to get a TV after about 8 years of not having one. I don't have a phone line which means I'll need a smart TV to connect to the WiFi.

I mostly watch Netflix, Disney+ and Channel 4 catch up. I don't watch BBC or live TV. Will I also need a fire stick?

If anyone can recommend a 32" smart TV I'd be grateful. It's been a long time since I last bought one.

Usually smart tvs have Netflix etc already installed like an app on your phone so you wouldn’t need to add them separately or use a firestick.

Our tv is also really old so can’t help with recommending.

I've got a couple of LG 32in tvs. They have all the apps already built in. No need for any sticks.

A Fire Stick basically turns a non-smart TV into a smart tv, so you don't need both. Can't recommend as we still have a Fire stick!

Thanks all. Time to go TV shopping!

Can recommend you go into a Richer Sounds store and throw yourself on their mercy. Excellent advice always given, and they will send a chap to connect it all up and get it running (for a few, but WELL worth every penny IMO)
