Hello.
After quite a lot of reading here and there (mainly here) I am struggling to find which TV to replace my current 55PUS8303 (IPS) which has been serving me quite well for the past almost 3 years.
I really got into the Ambilight thing and really enjoy it. Have some Hue Color GU10 bulbs above my head while watching and really enjoy it. Having that said I am not a heavy TV user - mainly movies/tv shows played through Shield TV Pro 2019 - during the week normally TV is used after 7PM until..10-11PM. All content is on my NAS PC and mainly using Kodi/Plex to play it on the current TV. Occasionally throughout the weekend it might be used during the bright part of the day but that's very rare occasion. As a bonus I am thinking of hooking up my NAS/gaming PC - it has a RTX3080 so want to enjoy playing Forza Horizon 4/5 (if that's achievable), not a console player (never been). Still have my PS4 Pro but using it once or twice every month - just to add PS+ games to my library .
Currently have a Denon X1200W which soon I plan to be replaced with X3700h due to the 4k/120Hz so I can use it properly. In that regard - sound from the TV does not concern me in any way - have a pair of B&W 606 and HTM6 and I'm happy with them, thinking of 2 atmos speakers, and probably a sub (still waiting for normal price of the KC62 from KEF) in the near future, when getting the new AVR.
Remote control - barely using my current one since all I need is the Shield/Denon remote to control everything. On top of that have the Harmony Elite, so not really an issue with the remote.
Stand... it will be wall mounted, so that also does not concern me. There is probably no way to get back to tv leg stands again.
My question though after that long explanation - currently have the option to grab a 55OLED706 for ~900€ which seems like a decent price. At the same time there is 55OLED856 for 1100€. Which one you can recommend me most? All I've read about the 806/856 is that it has quite a lot of downsides if you want the 120Hz/G-Sync things in place, can't find anything really about 706 having these issues whatsoever.
Thank you in advance for your recommendations
