Hi,
I have a £2k budget (could go up a bit if really worth it). I've been reading these forums for weeks, and I still don't know what to buy! I know this time of year is good as can get last years models at a discount.
A big part of me wants to get the Samsung Q7 65", but where most people say to buy an OLED if you can afford it. We have a fairly big living room, so another part of me thinks to get a lower quality 75" just for the cinema feel.
I've been to Curry's (only option for me unfortunately) to compare TVs. Now it's probably because my brain isn't as tuned to PQ as most of you, but the Q7 looks amazing. It's right next to the LG C7 which also looks amazing. The Samsungs colours just pop out at you, and although it's edge lit and the blacks aren't as black, I keep asking myself why does that matter so much? You don't even notice until you actually compare to the OLED. The blacks on the Samsung in my mind look black, it's only when you directly compare you notice they aren't quite as black. To me all colours apart from black look better on the Q7. Why do people care about black so much? Is it something you notice after time? I couldn't see any of the issues such as bleeding or banding on either TV.
Also concerned about 'babysitting' an OLED although I expect I am on reading about people who have problems on here and most people don't. I do worry about the longevity of an OLED set too.
The viewing angles aren't even as bad as I expected from reading on here for the QLED. The picture looks very slightly more washed out on the QLED at an angle, the OLED admittedly looks the same at any angle, but unless you are comparing directly would you even notice?
I know it's a showroom and the lighting isn't realistic which is why I am asking for advice. Should I ignore the QLED vs OLED thing and go for the Q7 or do you think I will regret it? A smaller part of me thinks I should get a lower quality 75" LED and that the difference in PQ I won't even notice once it's in my living room away from other TVs to compare to.
Do you regret getting one TV over another after some time? Any helpful insights would be extremely welcome.
Thanks, Simon
