Hi,
I am looking for help in buying a TV and I've had some great advice from AV Forums in the past.
I'm helping my dad find a new 55" 4K TV to replace his 42" Panasonic Plasma. He has a SONY HD AV surround sound system, which I think he could still use that by playing the sound feed from the tv. So the quality of the TV's built in speakers isn't a problem. He watches a lot of football and F1, so I need to make sure that the TV can cope with fast moving footballs etc. My mum watches movies on Netflix and soaps. They have a Sky HD box, but the only 4k feed they will have access to is Netflix. At a later date, they will get a 4k bluray player. He has a Google Home which I have seen links with a lot of TV's and my mum likes to use her Chromecast, which plays in HD. Their viewing angle isn't especially wide and they haven't had any viewing angle issues before.
His budget is £1000 to £1300, so we have been looking at:
Panasonic TX-55FX750B @ £1059
Sony BRAVIA KD55XF9005 @ £1,167 with a 4K Bluray player
Samsung QE55Q7FNA @ £1299
All have a 5 year warranty.
Am I looking at the right models to get him the best viewing experience? Or have I overlooked any?
Thanks for any advice, Matthew
