Hey there everyone, Dan here. Long time viewer first time signer upper questioner. This seems to be the go to place for knowledgeable people on the subject of televisions. Currently I’ve got into a mess searching for new tv and would really appreciate some advice if that’s possible.
My LG 55UH850V for the past year as a black line down centre left of the screen. I’ve had it from new and it’s been a good reliable best bang for my buck tv I’ve ever had. But, now is the time I must let it go as it seems to be developing more faults as each day passes.
A TV for me is more important than most as I have complex mental health issues and it’s a lifeline for me when I’m in a dark place (I won’t go into much detail as it’s not a great story and long winded...like this question) It sounds silly I know but being agoraphobic/suicidal/everything else a tv is an escape a way for an hour or so I can not be me. Since covid I also haven’t left the house even to see my mental health team so everything has becoming overwhelmingly difficult.
Let’s crack on
So, I’m looking for advice on where to go next. I love LG OS as it’s simple and it’s what I know however I’m not put off by trying something new. I’ve recently got back into gaming (thanks mental health team) so that’s my first use and then movies and tv. My current game playing varies but is centred around shadow of war, the division 2, no mans sky, elite dangerous and hopefully modern warfare. I play on PlayStation 5 and use the tv for Netflix/Sky/Prime and Disney+.
I was looking at the LG Nano 916 or the Sony xh9005 as I saw they get fairly decent reviews. After scrolling through forums it appears not all is how it appears and has got me in a pickle. I do take peaks at OLED but I don’t know if my gaming habits would be a concern. I also use the tv to fall asleep to (told you it’s a long story) so again I’m unsure how that would affect the tv, though I do tend to use the eco mode on maximum on the LG. It’ll be for the bedroom which is quite dinky around 3mx4m I think. I’m open to different sizes but wouldn’t like to go lower than 55 if that’s possible unless absolutely necessary.
The budget is around £1000 a little more is required maybe £1200 at a push
TL;DR
I can only assume more or less anything will be a substantial upgrade. I used to be tech savvy, now, not so much. So I really appreciate any advice. It’s taken me a couple months to post on here. I really struggle with conversing with people as I get into a state very panicky/paranoid/anxious. I apologise if there are any grammar issues or ive missed anything out. Again thank you for reading and I hope you all have a good day/weekend

TL;DR
- LG tv dying
- need new one
- gaming top usage (currently) would also like a decent tv and/or movie use if possible
- 55’ min (unless absolute)
- £1000 (best bang for the buck)
