What TV? Any suggestions?

are there any tv buffs on here that can offer me any advice?

I want a 60"-65" tv to hang on my wall replacing my existing 50". the existing one weighs 11kg but all potential new ones are 22-24kg. Im confident that the bracket will support this as I had a 40" clunky panasonic plasma tv there a long time ago and I remember that weighing a ton!
There are so many tv's to choose from. LCD LED OLED blah blah blah. Not really interested in the SMART capabilities as Ill probably turn as may off as possible. I dont want the Russians or Chinese listening to me talking to my cat!
I already have a Samsung soundbar.
What should I be looking for and are their any brands in particular that are pants or good? The specification lists are a mile long and being tech thick mean very little to me.
can anybody help me please?

 

We have LG and Samsung TVs. The one at home is an LG going through a Virgin box, great picture no problem. We also had an LG at our caravan using the award winning LG WEBEX system, great picture quality but to view the program guide and change channels was a bit of a pain. We are just on the site digital aerial up there. We changed it for a Samsung 7000 series and this is great.
We got the Samsung from RGB direct in London delivered in two days. The big big big TVs start at £799 and go up to £3799 - what on Earth do you get for £3799 Is the picture 5 times better? Does it make you tea or coffee and toast in the morning? Maybe the digi savvi kids on here can answer that one
SAMSUNG UE70TU7100, 70 inch Smart Ultra HD 4K LED TV Carbon SIlver FInish with Freeview

 

Though going for a brand name is good starting point, warranty is another thing to check on, is it the shops extended free ? warranty or direct from the manufacturers, as they often have extra 2 or 3 year warranty as part of a sales promotion.
Also is it return to them or onsite repair/replacement ?

Regardless of the above, you really need to see the model you want working in a shop.
Its only when you see a couple of different models working side by side you can appreciate image quality.
Currys being an obvious starting point to view plus any big independant tv retailers in your area.

We have a smaller LG model and its been very good, however when you go to such a large size you often find different brands make better models ?

Ckecking out magazines and online reviews can help -

@Harry

Thank you and WOW........... now that is some tv. Im trying to think of a reason not to buy it. Not sure my wall bracket is big/wide enough. I know it would take a 60 but a 70 is a lot wider. Not sure how to find out either

 

@ricky101
checked out the link tank you and it raises another question
what is the difference between led oled and qled apart from price. surley led will still be a pretty good picture

 

Never fitted a big TV to a wall. Someone would need to check that your bracket and attachment bolts are strong enough. I would think to mount a 65 - 70" TV is a two person job.
On the question of LED versus Oled etc. Possibly the HD tv buffs can notice the difference but for 90% of us the LED tv gives a fantastic picture.

 

Did not have a clue until I watch a video like one of these, but the price difference from a standard LED tv is dramatic !


Worth a trip to a large Currys or similar shop who might have some of the Qleds on working display.

 

Cant run to an OLED or QLED so Ive taken the plunge and bought a 65" Samsung LED. It will be good enough for what I want and miles better than what Im used to. Its being delivered next Friday. Plus I had SkyQ installed today. Good heavens I think I might need to go to an evening class to learn how to use it! I just keep turning the telly on an off and not getting into the menu at all. Got a good deal to upgrade but the rotten so and so's at Sky didn't tell me Id lose all my exiting recorded programmes and all my scheduled ones too!!! Im going to complain. What I'm really gonna kick up about most is that I followed instructions and cleaned and sterilised my house up to an operating theatres standard before the engineer came and he didn't even wear a mask OR gloves and was handing me remote controls etc and he didn't wipe anything down after he'd finished like they state he would. Im so pathetic and weak I was too embarrassed to tell him to. I've totally lost the ability to stand up for myself since I've become unwell. I'm hating myself right now.

 

Complain, the engineer should have ppe and act responsibly. He should be disciplined.
