60" TV options?

banie01

Hey Richersounds!

Thanks to an impending finishing of a man cave, I am looking for new TV to replace my current LG 55" 3d.
OLED is outside the budget, and I would like a bigger screen but due to having a wife...
I'm restricted to a maximum of 60".

4k and HDR are wanted, passive 3D would be nice but I can live without.
Local dimming and minimal back light bleed would be my main worries
TBH if the Hisense lm7000 was available in 60" I think based on reviews it would tick the boxes.

Any suggestions on what might fit the bill will be appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Hi Banie01.

If you dropped to a 58" you should look at the Panasonic 58DX750 priced at the same price s the 65" Hisense. Priced at £1099.00

There is also the 58DX802 as part of our sale also priced up at £1099.00 (However this is an in store only collection and can not be shipped.

There really isn't too many 60" that spring to mind. with out going up in budget.

Let me know regarding the Panasonic's or if there are any others that have caught your eye.

Hi Kenny,Thanks for the detailed answer.
From reviews the panny's mentioned seem to have backlight haloing issues, there's a lot of chatter on AVF on the issue.
I'm limited to about 1350mm in width and I've had a look at a few panels without nailing anything down as yet.
Strangely the best PQ I've come across in the low/mid range sets I've seen has probably been the LG 58uh635v.
The VA panel gives a much better black level than the IPS on the LG 60" I saw beside it.

I'm trying to convince the better half that the step to 65" won't make a difference but if I can't get a compromise with her
It will have to be a 58 or 60 inch set, so if needs be I will stretch the budget to get there.
That said,staying at 55" is also an option, so feel free to fire a recommendation on that too.

Hi Kenny,
It's up and running and even on out of the box settings it is a fantastic set.
I'll be calibrating it tmrw and I'm looking forward to the final result.
I know ye are up the walls up there at the moment but any update/confirmation on the wall mount being shipped will be much appreciated.

Thanks a million for the help and the service is as always, much appreciated.

Regards
