Dear Experts
My 60 series Panasonic lcd has finally died and I need a replacement in the 40-43 inch range (the space wont accommodate larger than 43). Im happy to consider all brands and have a budget of £1000.
The sofa is directly facing the screen and there is almost no off axis viewing.
The content consumed is likely to be mostly HD and some SD TV. A small amount of HD content via HDD. TV is fed by a virgin box (tivo) which will eventually get upgraded to the UHD offering.
Inevitably this chosen tv will offer 4K and HDR but these are not its most important features.
There seems a surprising lack of reviews of 17MY TVs in this size bracket, so far.
I know the Panasonic EX700 has had one. So, Im considering this, the new LG 750 (though I think this has an IPS panel so it may get rejected), the samsung MU6400 and the more expensive Sony XE8000 series. Im sure I read a review somewhere that the soon-to-be-discontinued Sony XD8000 range actually has better PQ. Seems odd.
What would you get ?
Thanks
