After researching for a while, and viewing various options in store, I have narrowed down my search to the Sony XBR65X900E. But before I get into my question, let me divulge some details of my setup.
This TV will primarily be used for gaming, including a PS4 Pro, Xbox One S (an X when it releases) and a gaming PC (so I do use it as a PC monitor). It's secondary usage will be for standard Blu-ray movie playback (and hopefully more UHD Blu-ray in the future). For TV, I have PS Vue and an OTA antenna, though I probably won't be watching that much Television on this set outside of a Football game or two. The distance from the couch to the TV is 9 FT (~2.7 meters). Ideally, I'd like to spend no more than $3000 (~£2300).
Which leads me to my question. Is the X900E the best choice? Did I miss a better option? Is the 930E worth the extra money? Is 65" the right size?
Everything I've read said I should get the LG B6, or the LG C7 (or the Panasonic 902B, but we don't get that in the States). I viewed both the B6 and C7 next to the X900E and I didn't personally think the OLEDs looked that much better to warrant the extra $1000. Granted this was in a store with terrible lighting, and the content was different, but I just wasn't wowed by either LG despite their universal praise. Maybe my eyes just aren't that refined, or I just went in with too much hype.
I also read a lot of praise for the Samsung KS8000, but I can't find it in stock anywhere sadly. I didn't hate the Samsung MU8000 in store, but the MU line won't satisfy my HDR needs from what I read. I also looked at both the Vizio M and P lines, but they don't have TV tuners which kills my over-the-air antenna.
Any thoughts, insight, or advice would be welcome. Thanks!
