So, I am currently using a UE40ES6900 which I've been very happy with. However due to a nice PPI refund I'm looking to upgrade to a 55" (the size I feel will be the sweet spot in our front room).
I have a budget of around £1000 and I get the impression that will not get me in to the latest OLED technology.
At this very moment in time, UHD content will be limited. However I do not replace TV's every other year, so during it's life with me, UHD will definitely be used.
The KS7000 has been recommended to me as a "go to " TV in this situation. I see it started off life as a near £1500 unit and in 55" guise can currently be had for around £850.
I will be buying within the next two months (awaiting a floor to be re-done before purchase) so obviously if there is anything new on the near-horizon I'd be interested to know.
I've only ever owned Samsung & Sony TV's since I first moved over to LCD - but I am not adverse to looking at other brands.
However I'd like the unit to either come with at least a 5yr warranty or be from a manufacturer who will sell me one.
Won't be wall-mounted, certainly not initially.
Curved - is this a fad or a waste of time? Or does it make a difference? For better or for worse?
I'm seeing lots of places offering the MU series of televisions over the KS - is MU replacing KS? So maybe I won't find a KS7000 available anywhere?
I think that just about covers it. I haven't had the chance to read through all of the other threads here, so I'm sorry if this is a very generic "spec me a TV" post. Appreciate your responses.
