I am shopping for a TV that will be placed in a gaming room with medium to low ambient light (glare is not that important ) . The TV will be used in 2 ways:
First as a Gaming TV for PC and next gen as well as old (and very old) console gaming. It will be also used for Netflix, Amazon, and general web based movie watching and PLEX streaming. The viewing distance is about 2.8 meters (9.2ft) and no angle.
Second usage will be as a third monitor that will display secondary information or content (chat window, twitch tv, Regular TV Broadcasts) as I use the main monitor for gaming or work. Less than one meter of distance and increased angle (the tv can be turned to reduce angle) . This type of usage is far less important than the first.
I have been researching the web for my options and since Black Friday is upon us it's time for a decision. I have read the guides by @Dodgexander but I have some questions.
It is my understanding that for my viewing distance I should look for a 65 inch TV (or more). The thing is that my budget is not infinite. Taking into account current offers (in my country Black Friday offers are on ) I must choose between
For sure an OLED is the best choice but due to the monitor usage as well as lots of games having static UI’s burn-in is a problem that I am considering.
My questions are
Your input will be much appreciated.

It is my understanding that for my viewing distance I should look for a 65 inch TV (or more). The thing is that my budget is not infinite. Taking into account current offers (in my country Black Friday offers are on ) I must choose between
- 55inch LG CX or BX or Samsung q90 (The 65 inch are too expensive even with the offers)
- 65inch q80 (or even q70 that is on great sale right now) or Sony KD-65XH9096
For sure an OLED is the best choice but due to the monitor usage as well as lots of games having static UI’s burn-in is a problem that I am considering.
My questions are
- What is more important in my situation: size or quality?
- If size is of most importance will the q80 or the sony 9096 give me a good enough experience ? What about the q70 ?
- If size is not that important ( taking into consideration that I will be getting the high tier TV) should I be worried about burn in for my kind of usage ?
- If size is of most importance but the q80 or the sony produce a lot of compromises is it better to just save for the High tier 65 inchTV’s (also waiting for the 2021) models ?
- If (4) is the best solution I could get a very cheap 55 inch to make due for now like the TCL 55P715 that is priced at 400 euros right now. The TCL could be used elsewhere in the house when a real upgrade can be made.
