Hi
We’re looking for a new 55” tv for the living room. Will be used for regular TV and streaming (Netflix, Disney, Amazon, sport) so needs to have the usual apps. No gaming if that makes a difference.
It’s going to be part of a media wall so the depth of it isn’t really a concern, but I do want the sound to be ok (comparatively) as we won’t be using a soundbar with it.
The top end of our budget would be £700. I’d seen the Samsung Q80A was well reviewed, and I can get it for £675 from Samsung direct so just within budget. We have a smaller Samsung tv in the kitchen and have liked it so far. However, I’d prefer to get the tv from John Lewis/Richer Sounds/Costco to get the 5/6 year warranty. None of them have that specific model though unfortunately.
I’m a bit lost with the differences between models, so wondered if there was a different tv that would be comparable within budget with a longer warranty?
Although £700 is the top limit, I’m also more than happy to spend less than that if we don’t need to! The Hisense 55U8GQTUK is £480 at Costco which looks good value. Would that do what I need it to? Or will I really notice the difference from spending an extra £200 or so?
