Need to buy my first proper TV having just moved into a new place. The last month has been a steep learning curve but am still stuck on what TV to buy.
Thought i'd go ahead and add to the list of 'what TV' posts ... apologies for this but I am close to loosing all my hair with the amount conflicted options to consider.
My requirements:
- 55 inch max, maybe a 49/50 if its worth going for quality over size
- mostly SD and HD only viewing, TV shows, Movies, Non-serious gaming on PS4, (freeview, basic sky, netflix, prime) - i will not have the budget for blurays/4k netflix/sky Q
- max spend £1000 or would far rather be lower, i have a lot to buy over these next few months
- preferably flat screen, but not too fussy
- I am currently watching basic TV on a 28 inch Logik TV or my laptop - so it is safe to say my current standards arent high.
- That said id love to have something that will keep me happy for a few years.
So from reading many reviews and forums it seems the best option for almost anyone on a small ish budget was the 55 inch KS7000 - which I was very close to buying but is now sold out.
Anyone in-the-know know when it will be back in stock/will it ever? If so i may hold out but want a TV asap and dont want to miss out on other new year bargains.
Now this option has gone, i dont know really where i stand...
On the ground i dont watch any 4k, should i just save money and go cheap/low-end 4k tv like the samsung 6 series? I feel like i could live with a 'poor quality' tv if i saved a ton of cash.
Or is it still worth pumping money into good alternative to the ks7000 (and what is a good alternative considering my type of viewing)
Lastly i have seen many posts mention going for a good full HD only option - and the LG910 keeps popping up - this OLED option excites me, but is a little expensive (999-1300 from what i can see), also not 'future proof' but does this matter?
The lg910v is on an amazon lightning deal ive been alerted to - is this a safe option (buying a tv from amazon)?
Many thanks for taking time to read this, hope you can help.
