Greetings and salutations

I hope you are all well.

I was wondering if I could as for some advice. I am looking to buy a new TV and after reading articles and watching some videos still am uncertain if I need to buy a £400 or spend over £1k.

What I’m after is a decent 55" TV that looks good, is adequate for console gaming and can last for a number of years.

I know this community is very clued up on tech and if someone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Many thanks in advance

Good morning


I did some research and yes burn in is a bit of a concern as apparently even as little as 24 hours of a static image can cause burn in. I’m not a young lad anymore so gone are the days of extended gaming though the worry is kind of there.

I have had reassurances from friends with OLED tv's that they not experience issues so I am put at ease slightly.

Also light reflection is an issue as I understand so TV placement will need to be planned a bit.

Staring off I though, new TV no big deal but now it’s getting a bit more complex the more I look into it hehe

I was leaning towards the LG CX though OLED burn in is making me nervous :P
 
Thank you guys for all your input and detailed explanation @MrRockliffe

That all makes sense and I’m am a lot more at ease, had a look and John Lewis and their warranty does not specify "burn in" so I think they may have removed it. Saying that I still feel a lot more confident now just have to make sure I have "auto turn off" and anti-burn in technologies enabled :)

I will keep an eye out for any deals on black Friday/cyber Monday though I don’t have high hopes :P

Thank you again all
