Hi
Looking to upgrade around Boxing Day and have the following background
70% watching tv shows on virgin TiVo box (mixture of hd/sd, kids, drama for wife then football in that order unfortunately)
20% films, either Netflix hd or blu ray (non uhd currently) through a 7 year old pioneer a/v (so non uhd) with some aesthetically nice looking, so allowable, keff speakers!
10% late night gaming
My tv stand is 110cm wide, so the wide legged Samsung 49 7000 is a no-go.
Will plan to upgrade blu ray to uhd and upgrade the amp mid 2018
We sit 6.5 to 7 ft from the display, straight on generally with maybe a 30degree angle most -
Long but narrow room
Set my sight on a 50 inch tv as moving up from a 7 yr old Panasonic 37'' LCD.......would love the 55 lg oled BUT nervous about the size (wife and upscaling), screen burn, and quality as lowest price oled??
With this criteria what would the recommendations be. Am currently considering a Sony 49 9005 (does it upscale well and is os a clunky interface), a Panasonic 50 750 (is it HDR enough and is os old and clunky)
Considering my detailed criteria I would appreciate any feedback, so I don't go into the shop blinkered....many thanks
