TV recommendation (65" LED vs 55" OLED)

Neamhshuntasach

Hi,

In the market for a new TV after years without paying much attention to how the technology is advancing.

Only have a 32" now as traveled a lot so never really watched much TV. So a jump to a 55" will be a massive upgrade without even looking at a 65".

I've seen LG recommended a lot on here although i am open to any brand. Was in power city the weekend and seen a 65" on display and the size looks great. The seating distance would be about 10 foot or so away from the TV.

But i'm seeing a lot of interest in the 55" LG B7 OLED. I was on board with the 65" size but now i'm tempted by the 55" LG OLED one for £1499. 


I know it's personal preference. But for someone coming from a 32" tv that's about 8+ years old. Would it be better to put size first over quality or quality over size?

For the 65" i was looking at this one:

But any other recommendations are welcome. In around £1499 would be the budget.

For the 55" i'm tempted by this one:

Any arguments to swap me either way?

Thanks.

Thanks man. I meant to say over 10 foot. It's about 15 foot from where tv would be for main seating area.

But how about an actual reply from the richersounds.ie whose forum it's supposed to be actually be. Thanks.

Goose81,

Please take a moment to read the Charter for this forum, queries here are for RS to answer, it is not apropriate to offer your opinion or advice here, I've snipped your post accordingly.

Neamhshuntasach,

Sorry your query hasn't been answered sooner, the RS guys are fairly flat out at the moment with the run up to Black Friday with an understandable effect on the usual timescale for replying to queries here. I'd say that response times may be affected from tomorrow until after the weekend, so apologies again for that.

Ritz.

Neamh,

apologies for the delay getting back to you - we normally respond far faster but I'm sure you will understand that this is an exceptionally busy period.

I'm sure lots of Boardies will disagree with me but personally I feel that a 65" 10 feet away may be too large - a great viewing experience ok granted but if it was me I'd opt for the LG OLED 55B7 over scale of the 6SJ950 and take the OLED quality over the size of the 65".

However, the LG 65SJ950 is a really great TV and if you are looking at that budget it would be right at the top of my 65" list, but again the 55B7 would be the one I would choose if you could settle for the smaller screen.

Once again apologies for the delay getting back to you but please note our responses over the next couple of days may be somewhat slower due to Black Friday / Cyber Monday madness

ATVB,

Thanks for the reply John. And no problem about the delay. Wasn't paying attention to when this black Friday thing was. Anyways ended up being away the weekend so didn't get a chance to look at anything.

I'm leaning towards the OLED. But the wife is saying just to go for the 65" inch one as she'd prefer the bigger tv having seen a 65 and 55 side by side. We really don't watch tv all that much and OLED would probably be wasted on us give how often and what would be watched on it.

I had mentioned the LG 65SJ950 previously but also noticed the LG 65SJ850V on the site too. I compared on LG.com and i don't really see much of a difference. Actually nothing comes up as different. Obviously something given one is cheaper than the other. Do you know how they differ?

Thanks.

Neamhshuntasach

If there isn't a huge difference in the 65SJ950 and 65SJ850 i'll probably just go for the SJ850.

What would be the best price on delivery to Dublin? If it can. I only see the collect in store option on the .ie site but says delivery on .com one.

Neamhshuntasach

Sorry for back and forth in my posts.

If the 65SJ850 is collect only in store. 

What's the best price on 65SJ950 delivery to Dublin? I'd go for that one.

Thanks.
