So taking the plunge into the world of TV research for a new set and twisted myself into knots! Any advice or steers is greatly appreciated everyone!
So the TV will be in a fairly bright room, about 3.5m from the couch and pretty straight on to the set. No gaming, very little sport watching, pretty predominantly movies and TV viewing. In an ideal world it'll have a VA panel due to the reasons above but I'm also hoping to use my current wall bracket to save some more installation (will post a pic of it cause I think as it is will rule some sets out).
So on to the front runners I keep coming back to:
Philips 65PUS8204 : Ambilight just looks bloody lovely and the back of it looks compatible with the wall mounting. No clue on panel type until I get it and only available at Curry's....
LG 65UM7660PLA: Dodge recommends the 7400 in his guide and this one is a slight cut above with the magic remote. IPS panel, probably fit the mount (my current TV is an LG) and a John Lewis warranty.
Hisense H65B700: The budget friendly set, VA panel, JL warranty and again has Dodges thumbs up. Pretty certain it won't fit the mount.
Panasonic 58gx800: Smallest screen size but great reviews.
Appreciate it's probably wrong to base my TV wants mostly around the wall mount, but I'm bit of a DIY mug, hence the apprehension. The absolute max budget is £650.
Again, apologies for spamming with yet another "pick me a TV" thread but I've been to-ing and fro-ing for about 2 months now. Thank you for any help!
