Hello All
Have read a lot of forum posts but still struggling to find what I looking for. Just moved house so looking for a bigger TV.
Don't want to spend OLED budget so am looking for something that is £600 - £800 (TV expectations are inline with this).
Use: General purpose TV
- FreeSat / TV / Netflix / iPlayer
- Movies (Not blueray)
- No gaming really (odd game of Mario Kart once in a while)
- Use the Menu / OS of the TV quite a bit so don't want anything too slow
- Must be 65"
Location: (see pics)
Lounge - The viewing angles will be fairly narrow and am toying with mounting on the wall / Buying a new much larger stand.
Fairly bright mulit-purpose room
Thoughts:
Panel
Sounds like a VA panel would be better for this location?? Annoying that LG don't seem to make them.
Make / Menu
Am a little bias to LG as always have been good for me in the past and I like the menu features. Find my current TV can be a bit laggy so reading reviews of Sony / Samsung menu's / OS is preventing me from leaning towards them. Seems like if I want a modern OS/Menu at this price I have to have a IPS Panel.
Sound
Will be buying a sound bar at a later date.
Summary
Happy to be corrected on any of the above, Just need a good allrounder for under £800. Don't really want to pay 800 for something almost the same features as the £650. Is 50hz vs 100hz a deal breaker, should I be focusing on VA rather then IPS,
a few I have looked at but open to ideas...
LG 65UM7660PLA - £649 -Seems pretty cheap, build quality worries me. Panel Frequency is only 50Hz, Is this a problem?
LG 65SM8600PLA - £800 Has True motion and 100 Hz, very similar to above but quite a lot more expensive.
Sony BRAVIA KD65XG8505BU - £800 - Good reviews for the picture but has lots of bad reviews for the OS/Menu
