I've been looking to upgrade my seven year old TV for a 4K TV, but while doing research I came out with more questions than answers as there are so many brands, models, versions.
My budget is around $1500, and I'm looking for 55-inch (or 65-inch, but I'll be pushing the size for the small room as I'll be sitting 8-feet away) 4K TV that will work best for movies, games, and streaming (such as Netflix).
I'll be using the TV on a somewhat small room, usually after 6pm, so mostly it's going to be a dark room.
The primary content will be movies and online streaming. I'll be doing gaming, but casual gaming.
So far in my list are the Sony X950G or X900F, or Samsung Q80R or Q9FN. (I'm mentioning these TVs, but I'm open to suggestions to other TVs, if anyone can share some advice would be greatly appreciated.)
I was going to go with the Sony X950G because of good reviews and they're great TVs, but I don't think I'll be comfortable spending a lot of money to get such noticeable blooming, and every time I ask around no one mentions me a Samsung TV, and on reviews most always reviewers say that the image quality of Samsung is not really natural. So, it's been really hard to find the right TV.
Is there any TV equal or close to the X950G technology and features, but without blooming?
Also, I've been contemplating going OLED. These are the TVs, I found in my price range LG C9, Sony A8G.
While it's known that OLED are better for picture quality and perfect blacks, I'm one of those concerned about burn-in with gaming, using the same applications (Xbox, Netflix, YouTube, etc), and workout videos which have may static images.
In addition, because OLED have individual pixels, is it more likely to have dead pixels that LED TVs? Is this common on TVs? I have an OLED phone and I do have some dead pixels.
PS: I originally posted this on Reddit, before I found avforums.
Thank you.
