55 Inch TV - Buying Advice

[tringo0808]

Hi, currently own the Sony Bravia XR OLED 55A80J - purchased November 2021 after much research at the time...Looks like that I'll be getting my money back after an insurance claim in the next couple of weeks...

So, on with researching it's replacement - initially i thought to just buy the bravia again but a later model (2023), budget is around £1300 based on what i will get back from the insurance claim. Started looking at Samsung qled as an alternative but there are quite a few lesser known brands that get fantastic reviews (HiSense) and even LG that come in at half of my £1300 budget...

Just not sure i can bring myself to take the risk on a brand i don't know much about - trawling the web and on here but if anyone could offer advice on which TV's i should keep an eye out on would be much appreciated...55 inch tv needed, it'll be wall mounted, mainly just watching TV via SKY Q and using the built in tv apps for netflix, prime, apple tv and disney...

Any advice would be well recieved - it's a minefield out there as i've not been on the lookout for a TV since backend of 2021 and could do with some pointer!

Thanks in advance.

Samsung s90c or LG G3 if in budget.

Thanks for the reply - was just pricing up that exact model on the samsung website...currently £1048, i can trade in my 24 inch old tv sat in the conservatory for £300 and there is a 10% discount code...price comes out at £758. Replace the traded in TV with a new sub 32 inch tv and i am £400 in pocket given the expected insurance claim...
