Hi all,
A couple of questions. I’m looking for a tv of about 70” and the front running set is the following:
Sony X830F| LED | 4K Ultra HD | High Dynamic Range | Smart TV (Android TV)
I have heard people say that android TV can get a bit laggy or non responsive at times. I plan to use an Apple TV to serve all my media content and would only be use if the Tv as a dumb HDMI receiver. Would the OS slowness issues that people have with android affect startup times and direct external input type operations? I don’t need to be using any of the inbuilt tv apps. When you are using a direct source does the OS keep out of your way?
Secondly I wonder about 70” TVs. There aren’t many of them but the Sony above seems to be a competent set. VA panel, 120hz etc. I’m coming from a plasma so movement is a big issue for me. How much do you think the tv will drop to on Black Friday. Would £1500 be realistic?
My other options would be a 65” OLED or a 75” LCD but the 75” might just be a bit too big to look right in the space. Why do so few manufacturers make 70” TVs? Is it just the efficiency of making certain pixel density panels?
