First of all, hello! Long time reader, first time poster.
Recently bought my own place and one of the nice features of the house is a huge great top floor (17x10). Some of the houses on the terrace use it as a bedroom but the previous owners used mine as a sort of office / storage area. I want to make use of an existing 5.1 system I have but need a nice new TV to watch things on. The TV will sit in an alcove that has a width of about 180cm. Max viewing distance is about 14ft, although I plan to move the seating forward as 4k at this distance is going to be a waste of time.
Ideally i'd have a 75" in the alcove up there but realistically I won't get one in budget. With that in mind, the main criteria is that the size is a minimum of 60" and with a max price of about £1300 - though ideally closer to the £1000 mark.
I've been looking at the following but would love some thoughts.
- Panasonic Viera TX-58DX802B - The price is right where I want it to be, size is marginally below my 60" minimum but my main concern is the price i'm paying for the supplied Panasonic sound bar that I have no interest/plan to use.
- Samsung UE60KS7000 - Slightly over budget @ £1399 but seems the better of the two I've narrowed down to
