Hi all.
As per this post here, my requirements
A soundbar but don't know which model yet nor do I know for sure I will need one.
Fire Stick and Chromecast (non 4k)
No BR player but I may buy in the future
Xbox One
Netflix, Now TV, Amazon Prime and Disney+
DVDs and Blu Rays (FHD & UHD)
I currently watch more on Netflix, Now rather than standard TV but if I do watch it then it would be SD or HD.
B/castTV Shows 5%
" Sport 20%
" Movies 0%
Streaming TV Shows & Movies 20%
DVDs 5%
HD Blu Rays 15%
UHD Blu Rays 15%
Games 20%
I can see I will get BT so BT TV.
Currently using a 32 Inch TV, I'm expecting to see better picture & sound, colours (Brighter too).
I'm a set and forget type.
Dark movie nights but a light on during the day if needed.
Order of importance
1. Cost
2. Blacks
3. Value
4. HDR Picture quality
5. Sound
6. Viewing angles
7. Shadow detail
8. Picture accuracy out of the box (without pro calibration)
9. Smart TV ease of use
10. Smart TV app selection
11. SDR Picture quality
TV related pet hates
Hope I've got this right. If Ive missed anything let me know.
Thanks for any advice.
I can see Ive got some research to do.

- Bad screen uniformity, Dirty Screen Effect, Clouding, Light Bleed, Blooming, Vignetting, Haloing
- Loss of detail in dark areas or crushed blacks.
- Raised blacks
- Reflective screens
- Colour banding. (warning this is not the same as vertical banding, for vertical banding see bad screen uniformity).
