Can you guys recommend some 65" TVs for under £1k. It's for a family member. I understand the PQ isn't going to be top tier but I was wondering if there are any go to models you have in mind.

Thanks in advance.
 
Just to let you know if you are buying a tv from company I recommend to get 5/6 years warranty. Trust me it will save you a lot of grey hair.
 
I've got the 65K5510 and its great.. Can be had for around £7-800 now i believe.

As above, buy from company that gives you (free) 5/6 year warranty, just in case.

I've got one too. It's been great. I'm itching to upgrade though, because 65" isn't big enough for me!

get a projector then. the bigger you go unless you buy OLED (£5K for a 65" from Sony). your going to have lots of issues with panel quality and the picture quality of the tv as well as backlight issues. also if you stick with LCD you have all the other issues like ghosting and uniformity issues.

OLED is the true upgrade path from LCD. if you cannot afford OLED and want a big screen then it has to be a projector.

I already have a projector, that's not the problem. I want a large TV for my living room that has lots of ambient light.

It is a problem in respect to cost once you get over 65" though. There are options, but you're talking thousands upon thousands. I don't see this changing anytime in the near future either.

Oh it's changing. The Hisense 75" has come down £500~ since last year. Whereas the 65K5510 has stayed the same.

Where do you pick up this rubbish from? please post links. I have a Sony 75X9405 and had no problems.
 
av forums. looking at multiple threads across multiple large tv's. people returning 3 x sony 65" a few years back before opting to just buy the 55".

also your tv cost £5,000. not the same as people paying £899 for the same size of panel.

you cannot compare a rolls royce engine with that of lada.

if you had spent peanuts on a large screen tv 2 years ago instead of £5k. you can gaurantee it will have had issues. just go read avforums at all the issues big cheap tv's have had over the years.

when you get into the £2K+ market it's a different ball game.

oh and the op is 65" tv for under £1K you paid 5 times that.

Just go to sony direct if you want a cheap tv.

that is the first one i found. i could find hundreds more if i could be bothered.

it's pretty well known the bigger you go the more issues tv's tend to have. sure some panels come out good but some don't. it's safer to go for smaller panels. the biggest i would go for an LCD in the current market is 65". i'd rather go OLED and not have to worry about the majority of issues LCD's have though when you scale them up. the technology simply isn't there for cheap affordable 65"+ screens.

pay £5k and still have to deal with banding, etc. sure it's rarer the more you pay but it's still there
 
If buying from John Lewis, buy in store, even if they don't have it. They can order it for you. Customer service over the phone is handled by a separate company and will likely cause you a lot of frustration should anything go wrong. (I used to work there and had to deal with the monkeys from the call centre all the time).
