I'm looking to upgrade from a 12 year-old 42" Panasonic plasma, to a 55" 4K screen. My main viewing will be Blu-Ray 4K (plus I have several hundred Blu-Ray disks that I don't plan on binning just yet so upscaling is a consideration), Netflix and Prime video (both 4K where available) and Broadcast from the BBC, ITV etc. (I'm not a PS5/Xbox gamer, won't be one in the future, so that aspect is relatively unimportant to me compared to the other uses the TV will be used for).
The screen will be used in a sitting room environment, not a dedicated "home cinema" room. There is both WiFi and ethernet available to the TV. 55" is a physical limit given where the TV will be placed. I do some late-night film-watching with dimmed lights etc.
I'd like to hear what you would recommend as the best 55" for the budget I have (+/- maybe 15%), with the most relevant features/capabilities given my viewing habits/desires above. I do have a TV in mind, but I don't want to colour people's suggestions with my thoughts initially; I really want to hear your own thoughts!
Thanks.
