I've had a lot of good help in my other thread and had settled on a TV but worried about buying refurb and would like the JL/RS warranty for piece of mind, so happy to spend a bit more.
Looking for a 49/50" (max due to space available screen).
Current TV is dying, but am trying to hold out until Black Friday deals, but if needs must I will purchase before hand.
Mostly watch HD stuff, but also have a 4k Fire TV box and Prime subscription.
I watch F1 but no football, and watch a lot of films.
I had decided on the Pana 50DX750B which is a great TV but as it's last years model, you can't get it anywhere other than in refurb. Bit worried about the mixed reviews on the Pana store and the fact that if anything goes wrong you have to cover the courier costs to post it back, BUT it is such good value.
So, what are my choices from JL or RS, around the £700 bracket (two young kids who touch the TV all the time are restricting me paying more at the moment)?
The Samsung 49MU6400 gets great reviews on S21 but have read on here they have now changed the panel type and viewing angles are worse as is backlight bleed (a pet peave of mine on my current Samsung).
The Pana 50EX700 get's OK reviews, but says it suffers from motion blur, which is a no-no.
The Hisense 50N6800 is only a 50hz screen, although reviews are quite favourable, but at the moment JL won't price match the best online price as its only available in store and not for delivery (annoying!), so happy to wait for that to drop in the sales, or the higher models dropping to that price point.
Anything else I should consider?
