Which 65 inch to 75 inch TV?

[Register1]

Hi all,

We are looking to treat ourselves to a new TV for Christmas.
Which 65 inch to 75 inch TV
We don't do gaming.

Our older 55 inch Panasonic plasma is great, but limits the newer inputs etc.

Would like to keep below £1000, if possible.

No particular brand affiliation.

Sunny room led... They're brighter and don't get affected by direct sun as much. Samsung.

Dark room get an oled. LG c2, Sony or Philips are all excellent.

Qd oled are superb, but not sure you can buy a TV yet. I've just bought a Qd oled monitor... The picture is amazing.

Again, the sunny room led, darker room OLED is nonsense. OLED TVs are plenty bright enough. I know, I have one in a very sunny room.its an often repeated myth. Perhaps some truth in a bar / racecourse environment where absolute brightness is a key factor, but that's it really. OLED Tvs can burn your retinas as it is. Mine runs on a setting far from max.

Mind you £1k and 75" OLED don't make good bedfellows anyhow.

It's not nonsense. My oled was unwatchable in our orangery.

An led tv is almost double the nits. It's only the brand new qd oleds that get anywhere near close.

Don't try to watch house of dragon on an oled unless you like blank screens that is

Having a telly in an Orangery is not exactly "normal" is it? :-p come on! (ignoring the issue of how many people actually have an "orangery") That's like saying it didn't perform so well outside. Quel surpris. (I initially thought it was a joke post when you mentioned the orangery)

For the vast majority of poeple, an OLED is blindingly bright. How many people actually have their TV set up with the sun shining on the screen? Seriously.

People repeat the "OLED dark room, LED bright room" mantra out without actually trying both - just repeating what's been said - your case is rather unique - you are quoting this from the perspective of someone who watches their TV in a glass room.... not exactly typical is it?

It's such a huge exaggeration. But hey, if people want to settle for an eye searing LED then great - crack on.

It's not set up with the sun shining on the screen. The sun never touches the screen.

It's white walls and a lot of natural ambient light.

A lot of houses are open plan with a lot of natural light these days.

An oled is half the brightness of an led tv and this does matter in a bright room. Unless you go for qd oled which is closer... But just a QD oled monitor us 1100 quid.

So much confusion.
I think normal LED would be fine.

Fixed that for you.

QLED / 8k etc. in 75"+ pushes you into ridiculous ££££ anyway.

We bought one of these a few months ago (£999). I fully acknowledge and accept that it's far too bloody big, and only regret it for that reason, but I game on it, we watch plenty of films and it's fantastic. Very good performance and decent sound in my opinion from the standard speakers but we had a Samsung soundbar anyway, so have that hooked up instead.

You do not need 8k it's chuffing pointless

[TEKNOPUG]

The only benefit to LED over OLED is in very bright rooms and price. OLED is superior in every other metric.

You can get a superb 55" OLED for less than a grand. 65-75" will be a heap more money.

Whatever you decide, just wait 3 weeks for Black Friday sales.

My LG OLED is in a sunny room - south facing with patio doors - brightness has never been an issue.

Current gen and previous gen LG OLED G1 B2 C2 (larger C1 eg 77) have very decent brightness

Absolutely.

OLEDs are as bright as anyone could ever need. The LED vs OLED brightness competition is dead. Even in an orangery. Unless is was the first OLED ever made that is on it's millionth hour, and on cinema setting with the brightness turned down.

[Trustmeimadoctor]

It's not just about being able to see it in a bright room it's more down to them not being as good for doing hdr as led screens

[Patch1875]

Oled screens are becoming pretty cheap now. Sony is my go to now for the usual decent motion handling. Hoping for a BF 65in bargain.

Decided on an LG 86 inch.
LG 86UP80006LA 86" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV with Google Assistant & Amazon Alexa

Seems good value for money at £1400

Very entry level TV which only has size going for it but if you'll be happy with it then sure
