40-43" TV recommendation

[simonpieman]

Hello everyone.

I am looking to purchase a new 40-43" TV and wondered if anyone had any recommendations?

The TV will be used in my bedroom, possibly at a slight viewing angle.

I will be using it to watch Sky HD, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.

I have looked at the LG43UN81006B, Samsung 43Q60T, Samsung UE43TU8500 and Panasonic TX40HX800B, but cannot decide.

My budget is up to £600

Any recommendations or suggestions of which TV to go for / avoid would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

I was looking at getting the 43” Samsung Q60T this morning, until I found this forum post about stuttering issues with the T series :

Not good, seems to be mixed opinions about the Q60T and if its worth the extra over the 8500.

I take it the Q65T that John Lewis sell is the same model?

I believe it is the same as the Q60T, just a different number.

So now I have to decide whether to sit and wait to see if Samsung release a firmware fix, or look for an alternative.

Does anyone have any experience with the LG 43UN81006lb, primarily in a dark room ? As the TV will be for my bedroom, I am curious to know what it is like viewing it without any light available.. Some have said to steer clear..

The Sony is a bit expensive, especially with the LG being half the price..
