Bigger or better

Hi folks, I am currently in the market for a new OLED (currently a 55"), but am somewhat stuck as to the way forward. I sit about 2.4m away from the screen and from what i have been able to research i am between a 55" and 65". My budget is around £1500. For this I could get a 55" LG G2 or Samsung S95B vs the larger 65" LG C1. My viewing is mixed 10% terrestial, 30% PS5, 60% streaming services.

bigger or better?

Ideally, both. Bigger screen, and better quality.

Also upgrade your speakers too.

Unfortunately I cannot stretch to both. I am already starting the upgrade of the speakers to a monitor audio setup

With that constraint, 65 older OLED as opposed to smaller newer OLED personally.

You can get the 65" C1 for £1k now.

I have not found one at the price. Currys had it at that for a while, but it isn't available for delivery. Have you seen it somewhere else?

If you're going to keep a TV for 10 years then it's worth spending the extra. Its' not like you change it every year.

Yeah, I understand this, but the jump to say a A90J is another 30% and I am not sure that is worth it.

I didn't think the C1 had an evo panel. However, I have only just bought it from richer sounds....guess I could Google or find out

OLED55C14LB.DEUPLJP”. The letter we are interested in identifying is the fourth letter after the periodthat is, the first after DEU. If the first letter is a P or a W you have an EVO panel.
Sounds like it might be pot luck
