After 9 years it’s time to upgrade my Sony 55HX853.
Usage will be Sky Q, Apple TV 4K and Sony UHD blu-ray player watching sport, movies, box sets and kids TV when the grand kids come over.
No gaming in this room so HDMI 2.1 not a necessity.
Sound is through a 5.1.2 surround setup.
Lighting is Hue Blooms and light strips.
TV is on a 1800mm IKEA Besta but has items behind the TV so ideally I want a TV that sits very low or ideally on it’s base as the old TV does.
My budget is up to approx £1500, which is what I paid for the Sony 9 years ago, but I feel I can get a quality replacement for that amount.
Am undecided on whether to move up to 65” as I have the space.
This will be another long term replacement, 5 years+.
TV’s I’ve been looking at are:
Sony 55 A8
Sony 65 9505
LG 55 CX
Panasonic 55 HZ1000
Philips 65 705
Philips 55 805
Any thoughts as over the last week each TV has been my favourite?
