I was convinced up untill yesterday that I want the Samsung UE65NU8042 (I can get it for 1125 Euro) I went to the store and looked at the Samsung QE65Q7FNA (listed for 1873 Euro at the mall) and I kinda lost interest in the UE65NU8042. I don't want to spend anything beyond 1.6K Euro (7K Polish) and I'm at a loss here. I will be switching from a Pioneer PDP436XDE 43" plasma which I still love but its only 720p and its too small for the new place we live in. I need to be able to use the new TV for Excel/Word for longer persiods of time (many hours) and not worry about burnt pixels. I successfuly used my Pioneer plasma in thoughtful ways to prevent pixel burn but I would prefer that a new TV would be less prone to damage due to prolonged still picture. I don't necessarily care about super cool features like HDR (or at least I think I don't care because I'm not following the TV market for the last 10+ years) We watch Netflix and regular cable and use the TV as a work screen for a PC (through HDMI) I play Grand Turismo on PS4 from time to time (once a month or so) and thats about it. We will be watching the screen pretty much dead on straight so viewing angles are not that important to us (who watches a TV from an angle?) Please list some options for me, I have no idea if I want OLED or QLED or whatever other quantum dot marketing crap they came up with. Oh...I will be having a 1GB fast internet hooked up to the TV either through Ethernet cable or WiFi depending on what gives better results.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Edit: It is worth mentioning that we use the PC through HDMI for Netflix and watching downloaded 720p movies on our current Pioneer plasma TV. This will obviously change with having a 4K smart TV but I would still like to be able to hook up my PC (I will upgrade my PC setup) to the TV and use it as a monitor for movies/MS Office/etc so TV's which only give good results with 4K signal are not for me. I also do some Photoshop/Lightroom work from time to time so it would be nice to have a screen which will be Adobe friendly (I presume Adobe RGB is supported by the better TV's?)
