Hi guys,
After years of using a 40" 1080p I'm looking to upgrade for the first time. I've been reading and learning an awful to consider the past week, now I feel it's time to choose and buy one tomorrow.
I have quite a small living room which is why I want to go for the smaller models. 40 inch already felt big here, so 49/50" is what I'm aiming for unless you guys tell me the 55" has some very important feature and I might consider it. I'll be sitting roughly 4-6 feet from the screen on the couch in a medium bright room and at night I usually have some dim lights on. I'll be using it for casual gaming and movies 50/50, I don't watch a lot of regular TV.
After days of going back and forth I've narrowed it down to the 49" Sony XH95 and the 48" LG CX model. From what I've gathered: CX has the better image/HDR and blacks but lacks brightness and of course risks the burn in, while the Sony is cheaper (brighter?) and basically very good value for the money. I don't care too much about HDMI 2.1 although of course it's a nice bonus, but I prioritize a good image and HDR.
Both are discounted here but the CX is still around 40% more expensive, especially the smaller model. I'm leaning mostly towards the Sony at the moment for the price and fear of OLED burn in, so any advice would be great, hope you can help me finally make up my mind!
Also if there's any other model you think might be best for me please let me know.
