Hi,

I currently have a 7 year old Philips 55" TV, it has no ARC port, its limited to 4k/60 and no console supporting features, it also has the most basic HDR which to my eyes doesn't do anything. Its also already been repaired once and the same fault is slowly returning but its now out of warranty.

I'm looking to move up to a 65" with an £800 budget, so I'm looking at the Hisense U7N and the TCL alternative (cant remember the model, C755?) both are £900 but I hope they will have discounts over the next week or so, both support all the PS5 features. Gemini seems to think the TCL has the edge due to better screen uniformity or something and better motion handling for gaming

I'll be pairing the TV with a Fire TV Cube as well so not really bothered about what the OS is like

What I was wondering is if there are any similar alternatives I should also consider in that price range? I'm not looking to increase the budget for OLED or anything so the budget is pretty firm but if there is an obvious choice for a bit more then I could potentially stetch to it.

I'm also looking to pair with a soundbar but I think I'm pretty settled on the Amazon Fire Plus soundbar due to the clear voice feature and single remote use with the Fire TV unless there is a glaringly obvious alternative for sub £200

Open to any comments or suggestions please, cheers
 
While you're not planning to increase the budget for OLED, if you're open to one within budget, this seems to come in stock below £800 periodically:


Edit: if you ask someone in chat very nicely, you might even get a 10% off code, and if you create/have an LG account, you can get a further discount - I ended up paying just over £700 for mine

Interesting thanks I'll look into this a bit more
 
TCL/Hisense use the same screen. Had one die in 3 years and it's replacement developed dead pixels with 5 days.
The second one was a 144Hz Freesync Premium Pro 'gaming TV', with ALLM etc etc, laughably bad ghosting and swearing!
Absolute garbage, never again!
