New 55" TV - LG CX OLED? Sony A8? Or something else

[Deleted member 68110]

10 days after we replaced the TV killed by our 5 year old with tea, the ratbag smashed its replacement with Lego.

Bizarrely the insurers have given us more money to buy a replacement so the budget has increased.

So, should I get the LG CX OLED? The Sony A8? Or just get a like-for-like replacement and get another Samsung Q95T?

If anyone is going to inflict burn-in on a TV it is our family, so I'm a bit apprehensive about OLED. The Samsung seemed very decent - snappy OS, and a nice picture.

Sounds like you already know the answer to your question

Sell 5 year old to the circus?

Profit!! And then buy one of each

Seriously though, just don't go into a shop and demo any of them because you will buy one of the Oleds.

How often do you change your TV?

Before kids, every 10 years. With kids, current performance is every 10 days. I wouldn't consider upgrading without a need to - ie, when the current one breaks(or is broken).
