Hi, like many I have fallen into a downward spiral of choosing a TV only to later discounting it before deciding all TV are rubbish...
I really DO need to upgrade the main TV in house and I will plan to keep this for 10+ yrs I would quite like native Freesat
TV is viewed from about 3m from a single LONG sofa (over 3m) which is on a parallel wall to the TV
I think 65" (though I could live with 55") will be best balance between budget, WAF, immersive experience
Watching is almost entirely Netflix, PLEX (decent quality rips) and probably Freesat type channels.
Room has white paint/wood floor and is reasonably light although direct sunlight is prevented with a venetian blind and almost all TV is watched later in the day when sun has passed over that side of house.
I do not really game or leave TV on in background although it may get left on bay accident
Pet hates for me (no particular order)
-dirty screen effect on e.g. sports pitches
-laggy interface
-poor black levels and lack of shadow detail
-colour banding
-blooming
-motion trails and ghosting
Budget is ruled by my head (rather than bank account) as I feel uncomfortable spending SO much on a TV but I would certainly want to go below £2k
Reading the above I seem like an ideal candidate for OLED **BUT** I cannot help but have an irrational fear of burn in/degradation and I genuinely worry that this would affect my enjoyment of the TV (sad, I know). I suppose I want to see how close to OLED I can get with my type of viewing and also if I dont actually need to spend this much after all
SO other than Q80T and LG BX what should I be looking at (I can wait til Good Friday if necessary)
Thanks
Tim
