baseline neural therapy
I'm moving house soon and would like a new TV to replace my ageing Plasma that I've had almost 10 years. Although I'd like to go much bigger, I've been told this is the largest I can go (actually I've been told no bigger then the current one, which is 50", but I think as new ones basically don't have bezels I'll get away with it). It's mostly for watching films (downloaded) and TV series from Netflix/Amazon (don't watch broadcast TV). Gaming might be a thing at some point, but it's more likely that will be PC based in another room (although looking at maybe streaming from it in future).
I've spent a while reading online reviews and thought I'd come here as a bit of a sanity check. I'd set myself a budget of £600 to £800, but you know what it's like when you start reading things and end up convinced you need twice the original budget. So I thought I'd come here for perhaps a reality check.
From my reading I might just be touching the bottom end of OLED territory, but do worry a little bit about them not being that bright and maybe also burn in. There's the LG A1 (£800) but opinions seem to suggest the B1 (£1000) or even C1 (£1000) as the A1 is the dimmest and only does 60hhz and doesn't have HDMI 2.1. Does that even matter?
Samsung seem to have a bewildering array of models. I've also read that the QLED tech is basically a marketing term and covers a massive array of panels and that really the Q90 is the only one worth considering (£999). Or really are they all quite good and we're getting "audiophile" on it all.
Also as a side note I've heard that often audio is weak. I started looking at soundbars and even surround sound setups, but more then I want to spend. Any value is in just attaching my ageing amp and speakers from the last century?
Anyway your comments gratefully received. It's not something I follow really and hoping this one does as well as the Plasma did in terms of longevity.
