My current Samsung H6400 is now over 7 years old and it's time for a change. I've been reading reviews, RTings and here over the last couple of days and I think I've narrowed it down to 1 of these 3:
The lack of HDMI 2.1 on the XH95 shouldn't bother me but if I end up keeping the TV for a long period, not having the latest standard at time of purchase again weighs on my mind slightly and the poor viewing angles of the XH90 from my typical seating position sways me away from that. There's also the fact the 2021 Sony's are Google TV vs Android TV and I doubt they'll get an update to the new OS.
They all seem to have a downside and factoring in the costs does adjust things the XH90 (719) is currently the cheapest, followed by the XH95 (839)then the OLED (899).
My main thing is going to be the longevity, i.e. which is likely going to serve me best for at least 5 years as the best all rounder.
If I had to pick now it would likely be the XH95 as it does seem to tick most of the boxes but welcome any input on the others!
