What's the current "go to" 4k TV these days?

Hi all,

I've been out of the TV loop for a number of years, but in a position where I want to upgrade my ageing 5 year old LG 42" beast.

My friend gets a 10% discount at the indian shop so that helps.

I've seen the 1080p OLED in the flesh which is stunning, but also seen a comparison between OLED and HDR10 / Dolby Vision VS10 playing an HDR 4k film. Very impressive.

I'll grab an xbox s console in August so I have a 4k player.

The LG 55" 770 (2016 model) supports both technologies and can be had for £1,000. The panel also pumps out 800nits which isn't far off being UltraHD Premium certified!

It's an 8bit panel and edge-led, but for money I don't think you'd get a 10bit 1000nits screen unless you double your budget.

Would there be any better models around that price? or, do I just go with OLED

Thanks!!

Thanks

as soon as I wrote that post I stumbled across the 10bit Samsung at another £100 or so

decisions, but I know whichever TV I choose will be the wrong one lol

well my ultimate aim is obviously for an HDR premium certified OLED but I think a decent one is perhaps 2-3 years away.

I'd spent £1,500 on a good one
