So, one of my Panasonic plasmas has finally died and it looks like it's time to replace the primary one and move that into the secondary room. Both are 42".
I've been very happy with the picture and never really had any problems with motion while watching football. Also, the sound is good on those models.
Now, it would appear that OLED is the way to go, but at £1000 at least, I don't know if I can go that far.
Mainly, I want good picture quality like the plasmas.
Please answer the following questions:
Will you be buying and using an UHD Blu-Ray player? No
Netflix? No
Amazon? Yes
Apple TV. Yes
Catch up TV? Yes
HDR games consoles? No....secondary tv will have an XBOX
PC usage? No
DVDs? No
FHD Blu-Rays? What?
Sky, BT or Virgin? UHD or HD? Sky, SD and HD, probably 40/60; we only have the free HD channels
Budget is anywhere between £350 and £500-600 but I really want a good picture and the motion handling; I do not want to see blurring watching football. A friend of mine had a 55" curved Samsung I think, only a few years old, and on football it was awful!!
Help!
