If you have never watched 4K TV before, the first time will stun you. I have included some photos, but they won't show the vividness and sharpness of a 4K LED Ultra High Definition TV on your computer. The colour and clarity is absolutely incredible! Talking to the TV with the smart remote is fun, too. For viewing and test driving the smart remote, arrange a time/date with Vern or Maureen on
09 476 3655.
I am selling this TV because of a mistake. Our old TV was a Sony that output sound to the TV speakers and the headphones at the same time. I assumed this Sony would do the same. Nope. It mutes the TV speakers if you use the head phones. My husband has a hearing loss. On the old set he used headphones to control his volume while I had the TV speakers at my level. On this set we tried routing the TV signal through a recorder to capture sound from the recorder, which would not affect the TV speakers. No joy there. I need another TV that outputs sound from TV speakers and the headphone jack at the same time. My mistake. Your good fortune.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
