Hi All,
Looking for new TV to replace old Panasonic tv. Can fit 55 or 65 inch and sit 2.8m from screen hence slight preference for 65 inch
I like the wide viewing angle of current TV (guess it must be IPS) but our seating is up to 35 degrees from centre which may be too much for VA panel. What I did not like about current TV was banding in large areas such as clouds or darkness - a lack of detail and colour changing in fading areas if you will.
Have read excellent guide from Dodgexander and in particular HDR requirements i.e min of Q70R or equivalent.
Unfortunately budget is around £600 or slightly higher. Don't really use streaming services apart from Now TV movies occasionally. Watch a lot of blu ray movies and recently got basic Netflix package which I am getting into. Family tend to watch kids channels / normal Freesat HD channels and don't care about quality like I do. I don't like screen judder but don't really see this problem on current TV (current 50hz IPS). Don't use TV for games.
Also have an old Sanyo Z3 projector that I only use occasionally now.
Thinking of either just forgetting HDR for now and getting 65inch (for big screen experience) LG UM7400 or Hisense B7500/U7B depending upon viewing angles.
Or alternatively getting a 55 inch LG9010 which I presume must be ok for HDR? (Richer Sounds are recommending this one) or an alternative 55 inch TV that is better than the 65 inch ones - VA if angles allow ?(and does not have judder). Most watching on tv is with some light on or minimal light occasionally.
Any advice appreciated thanks .
