Hi, first time in this forum and spent a bit of time reading around - so thank you for the user guides already posted.
I'm looking for a 65" TV to go into a dedicated movie/snug room that we're setting up, and will be partnered with a dedicated receiver/sound setup. In other words its all about the picture quality (and usability for the kids) - sound is taken care of. Also not too worried about games, I have a PS4 but have probably used it less than 20 hours in the last 5 years... some of my games are still in original wrappers! Main use cases will be Amazon Prime, Disney+ for the kids, general TV viewing and occassional blurays / DVDs. We will be sitting pretty much straight on to the TV so viewing angle not a big concern. We have a 5 year old Samsung in the lounge already and no complaints with it at all.
I was all set to buy a 65" LG OLED CX for £1799. We rarely use Channel4 catchup or ITVHub so the lack of those wasn't a problem. However I've been put off a little by hearing a comment from a current owner who has to go into the menus to "fix" something each time he switches from SD to HD content. We watch a fair amount of regular TV so that would be a pain.
The other curve ball is I just found I get a discount on Samsung through work. So I can get the Samsung Q90T for £1,529 (or Q95T for £1,799). Price is not my biggest worry but I don't want to waste money for the sake of it - £270 could be usefully spent elsewhere like a better receiver.
The one time I tried something else (a Sony) I was frustrated by the UI so it's really between these 2.
Given I can't get to the shops and see them side by side, and I want to wrap this up sooner than later what would you pick and why in my situation? LG CX or Samsung Q90T for £270 less?
