65" Smart TV recommendations around the $1k mark?

Hey everyone. Tried my best looking for similar forums already posted, but couldn't find any that was like my situation.

So I'm looking for a TV for Netflix watching and Nintendo Switch use.

I guess my preferences are for a TV that has low input lag, has decently dark blacks, decent gaming motion, and nice contrasts.

I've looked at:

Hisense 65" R6 Series ~ $895, has been cheaper before it seems
Hisense 65" RG Series ~ $995, also been cheaper, I like this one more because it has the Android system built in and I have a Google pixel.
Samsung RU7100 ~ $1295.00, figured maybe forking out that bit extra to get a better brand may be a good idea but I dunno.

If anyone has any experience on any of these or have any recommendations that would be awesome.
The reviews are super mixed with the Hisenses, but I guess if there's anything wrong with it I can get it replaced or fixed but idk.

I've been looking for weeks now and it's kinda overwhelming. All the ones Rtings.com recommend don't seem to be available in Australia.

    What about LG?

      I'm open to LG too! Just haven't looked closely into them.

          That actually seems perfect. I don't need the TV for intensive gaming as I have a PC for that. All the reviews are positive too. The other TV's there's always that one single bad review that makes me hesitant, this TV seems to have none though.

          Really appreciate it, thanks. I'll keep an eye out on ebay and see if I can haggle goodguys/jb/HN down

            @Lozdog: I managed to get this one for $960 delivered at JB. But you can probably get a lower price at TGG. Good luck.

    I got the Hisense 65R7 in the black friday sales for $880, and I'll guess that such priced will eventually come around again - if you can wait.

    As you will realise, as you go up in number to HDR/Contrast gets better as the panel gets better. I'd personally say that the 7 is the minimum level that starts making sense from this dimension. Android TV would be nice, but not at the expense of a worse panel, since you can always put one on an input for <$100.
