Looking to upgrade our quite old (bezeltastic) 40" 1080P Samsung TV.
Due to where it is to be located, there is an absolute maximum size of 1040mm x 680mm. From what I can see this limits me to 43" screen sizes. This is fine, it suits the room.
I wouldn't say we do a lot of critical watching, but I do like things like colour reproduction to be accurate (I've seen some frightful cartoonified images on TVs at friends and family.
I am considering something like the Philips 43PUS6703, which has Ambilight. I can't really make my mind up if it's a gimmick, or really good. We have Philips Hue RGB strips in the lounge already (not TV backlighting) - does it sync with those too?
Would it even work properly where I have it mounted; https://photos.app.goo.gl/BqajbjhWZNsT1iq2A It's on a cantilever bracket is normally pulled further out than that.
Is there anything else in this screen size and around £500 that I should be looking at instead?
The TV I mentioned is 570mm high, so this gives me around 100mm left to get a soundbar on the bottom. I'd love to hear any opinions on those that'd suit. Any additional speakers must be wireless.
