I'm looking to get a new TV, I currently have a Samsung UE48H6400 but it has purple patches on the screen, I'd appreciate any recommendations on which model to go for.
Size
I'd like to go bigger than my current TV, so 55" or 58" should be okay.
What I watch
35% - Netflix (via 4K FireStick)
25% - YouTube (FireStick)
20% - Plex (FireStick)
15% - Sport (VM Tivo+ FireStick)
5% - Gaming (Xbox One S)
Obviously with my current TV I only watch FHD, but my FireStick and broadband are capable of UHD which I'd like to take advantage of.
Viewing conditions
Budget
£400-500 seems about right, but can stretch a little further to find the perfect fit.
Models I've look at
Other requirements
I've looked through some recent threads and can't see any that have the same budget/requirements as me and I'm not sure on the etiquette here on jumping on other peoples thread so hope I'm okay creating my own and hope I've gave enough info above.
Which out of the models I've listed is best? Are there any other better models that I haven't looked it? Is Ambilight any good or should I avoid?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Viewing conditions
- Pretty much straight on
- Approx 3-4M from TV
- Usually watch on an evening so blinds closed, 1-2 lamps on in room
Budget
£400-500 seems about right, but can stretch a little further to find the perfect fit.
Models I've look at
- LG (55UM7660PLA, 55UM7400PLB, 55UM7050PLC)
- Samsung UE55TU7000
- Panasonic TX-55GX680B
- Philips 55PUS6754 (is it worth paying extra for 55PUS7334/55PUS7394 ?)
Other requirements
- Would prefer to buy from Richer Sounds or John Lewis to take advantage of their longer warranties (or anywhere else that offers 5+ years included), due to the issue I've outlined above with my current TV
- 4K
- Minimum 3 HDMI ports
- It's going to get wall mounted so the thinner the better
- Plan on getting soundbar so sound isn't the most important
- I use a Logitech Harmony remote (with Alexa via a Dot) and run most things through the FireStick, so not really that bothered about what apps the TV has or how good they are. I find the apps on my current TV very slow so happy to stick with the FireStick.
- I'd like blacker blacks, but realise this is best on OLED but don't want to spend that much
