Wall mount TV for a bedroom

[Ephraim]

I'm about to get some overtime money through and have been thinking that it might be good to get a TV for my bedroom. I've got not a lot of space for freestanding furniture, so am figuring that a wall mounted option might be best. The wall in question has space for a screen up to about 55", I think, and probably doesn't want anything smaller than 43" in order to be able to see the picture sensibly. I'd prefer nearer 43 than 55 to be honest. It will have no aerial or set top box feeding it, so I want the ability to plug in a laptop, and a decent array of on-demand services. Bonus points if there is a way of getting Sky Sports onto it, via my Virgin media account.

I am not a fan of a TV looking TV in the bedroom, if that makes sense. And consequently have been looking at the Samsung Frame series of TVs, for minimum amounts of clutter on the wall and the neat art feature, but know that the 43 and 50 have much lesser specs than the 55. The LG GX series looks amazing, but is probably out of budget. For info, I rent my house and so can't embed any cables in the wall or anything clever like that. Is there another option that I have not considered?

Budget is £1300 overall, and needs to include decent enough speakers. Any thoughts?

If your budget is £1300 I'd just go full out and get a LG OLED55CX or if you want smaller get the 48CX as think Richer Sounds got a deal at moment to knock £200 off the 48.

That being said, do you have a TV already in lounge or? How much will the bedroom tv be used etc? Just I have a tv in the bedroom, but didn't warrant spending mega as it doesn't get used much. If it's going to be your main unit, then 100% go with one of the above, or drop down to the BX model and get a sound bar to go with it.

Thanks. Have had a complete rethink and decided on a smaller TV on a swing arm wall mount would probably do what I want better and considerably more cheaply.
