Spec me the best TV you can for £800-£1000

[Mike360]

So I've currently got a faulty 55" Sony Bravia KDL-55W905A for £999 back on the 17th may 2014 - but this was a good deal in the sales.

So it's abit more complicated than the special title suggest so if you I've the time please read as it would help me a lot. Much love!...

Long story short the smart features don't work and after a raher long and drawn out complaint with John Lewis they have agreed to effectively give me £700 credit and have suggested I get the following tv:-

Is this even close to comparable?

I appreciate there's the progression of technology since then (e.g 4K/HDR e.t.c) but I'm exactly not happy about the £300 reduction in store credit. Should I push for more... Maybe bump them up to one of the following (note that I can also contribute to the credit to get a pricier tv):

The generally highly regarded ks7000:-

Or a Sony Bravia (maybe I'm just loyal but the Sony smashed the others in store back when I bought it and I'm worried the others might not be as good)

I'll mainly use it for console gaming, streaming services and bluray rays (through the console cos I have no idea if dedicated blu ray players are worth it! #secret second question)

With so many sets to choose from I'm lost. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks if you made it this far down my ramblings!

You could tell them that the input lag is much higher on the model they suggested and thus not an acceptable like for like replacement (if you want more cash..). In real world probably won't make a difference but hey.

Tbh as the new Sony is 750 odd it seems a good deal. I'd go for the ks7000 however, that impressed me in store.

Worth a try lol. Any idea what the input lag difference even is?

I'm hoping they have both in store for comparison
