About 5 or 6 years ago, I bought what was considered a decent 65” at the time, first of the 4k generation TVs, the Samsung ue65hu8500


Cost was just over £3k which seems high compared to TVs nowadays.

I’m sure technology has changed over the years, but wondered how this old set compares to newer lower end models nowadays?

I use an AV system for sound, so internal speakers are never used. Does say a £1500 OLED completely trump this old screen, or are the differences marginal?

At the time, OLED in 65 was rare and priced similarly.

Yes the 65'' OLED will be in a different stratosphere.

if u can extend budget and find a fair priced 77'' i think ur jaw will drop.
