Hi All, looking at a new 65in tv, and narrowed down to these models:

Samsung Q95A:

Panasonic JZ1500: price unknown, assuming roughly similar to Samsung and LG

LG G1

Have there been enough reviews to calculate if any are particularly good/bad? Im assuming at the higher end of each company offering theres not a whole lot wrong.

I will connect to a BT supplied Humax 4k youview box for recording and streaming (assume new tv will have most apps on anyway, my old tv isn’t a smart tv so has none); and a Sony UBPx7000 for 4k discs

Won’t be gaming, and will connect all devices through a new amp (not decided on yet) but imagine will have at least 1 or more 4k in/out

Panasonic – got all the picture formats (ie HDR10+ and DV)

Samsung – got a separate box for the connections, meaning less need to channel wires into wall, possibly worse dark but possibly brighter brights, no DV – currently leaning towards this model of the 3

LG – great picture

Any advice / things to bear in mind pls? Will be watched in my lounge, not blacked out or anything, possibly some direct sunlight some of the time on tv.
 
Would anyone see the point of spending a bit more and getting an 8k tv? i know sources arent readily availible yet, but would there be a point to having the tv and adding sources later, or is received wisdom that the tvs will be better by the time the sources catch up?
 
I dont know if im allowed to post other company names or links, but ive seen the 65in JZ1500 advertised for 2,999. Thats the model im interested in, and whilst i will wait for reviews, my understanding is it will play all the HD formats (hdr10, 10+, HLG and DV) and has a pretty good screen. Ideally would have all the streaming apps i like on it but im sure a cheap device stuck in the side will help. Against that, an alternate is sony a90j, as people above have said its good but 1k worth of extra good, i dont know, but if im waiting a few more months then money wise i could possibly go for it. Other than that LG C1. i see what the reviews say and base on that. Seems like good times to be on the look out for a new tv based on whats out there!
Also, in case i havent said it, thanks all for the advise on the other replies! ITs all helpful so please feel free to add anything!
