Apologies for the thread I know there are a million of these questions and I have read quite a few of them.
I'm looking to replace an old 40" Sony Bravia with something a bit more modern.
I can see the LG OLED is available at the moment for £1350 but that's probably a bit too steep for my liking plus I'm wondering if it's worth the bother based on my circumstances.
So...I'm looking at the MU700 but am open to better suggestions as I see this is a decent gaming TV but I won't really use it for that. Am I going to watch a lot of HDR in the near future? I have no idea.
Budget: Around £700-£800
Size: 55"
Inputs: Virgin V6 Tivo (with Netflix), Amazon Fire TV, Terrestrial.
Sitting position: Around 2 metres away from the screen.
Gaming: Not really used although there is a PS3 for the odd game.
Audience: Mostly straight on viewing, very occasional side on.
Sport: I have an Optoma projector for that.
Lighting: Front room doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight, have got the blinds if needed.
Household eyesight: Average lol
I can see quite a few recommendations for the 55EG9A7V but as far as I can see no-one sells it anymore. I've been looking at Dodgexander's 2017 TV recommendation thread but I'm just wondering now that we are in to 2018 if some of the more expensive 2017 models have dropped down into the mid-level price bracket to beat the current recommendations.
