Help with new 55” TV under $1000

neil100 on 14/05/2023 - 09:10

Hi all

Currently have a 50” LG plasma that is about 15 years old and has finally died.

Looking for something under $1000 that is good for basic streaming, no gaming etc. viewing distance is around 2.5m and definitely do not want any bugger than 55”

Would prefer a simole user interface without too much “noise” (adverts etc) if that is even possible these days?

Many thanks

    tcl c835 55" is going for about $850. Google interface. There's certainly cheaper options available but this has some pretty decent tech for the $$$

      Thanks, had been looking at the TCL range, what specifically is the good tech in this one if you don’t mind me asking?

    I bought a 10 year old sony bravia for $70 off facebook, then paired it with a google tv. I'm just as happy watching that as a new 65in 4k tv i also have.

      Hmm ok, hadn’t thought of that combination!

    Can you wait for the next month? I'm sure there will be End of Financial Year offers.

    During Easter I got a Sony 55" TV on offer under $850 and saved a lot from the original price.

      Yeah will probably wait for that but thought i’d get an idea of recommendations now and then watch the prices up to the EOFY
