Looking for a new ~55" TV - ~£1000-1500 - OLED?

Hi everyone,

As per the title I need a new TV around 55" for my family lounge. Primarily for watching freeview, streaming services and blu-ray movies. I'm assuming for that price/purpose OLED is the best option to go for?

I'd like it to have support for Freeview Play as I think the rest of my family would appreciate the convenience of being able to easily access contect via the programme guide rather than having to resort to dedicated apps for each channel? I've heard Freeview Play is much better than Youview though I haven't tried either?

Any recommendations/suggestions or features I should be looking for?

TIA

Thanks for the replies everyone. Sounds like a visit to my local TV store and maybe waiting until Black Friday is the best option.

I’m aware there can be burn issues on OLED televisions but as I’m mainly using it for Freeview/TV I figured it wouldn’t be a problem?

Is the lack of Freeview Play support (and use of Youview) on most Sony TV’s something I should be concerned about if I primarily use it for watching Freeview?
