Black Friday Sales – TV suggestions

PredatorvsAlien on 23/11/2024 - 23:42

I've been out of the loop on TVs. Our 55" Panasonic Viera died a few years ago. So what should I get to replace it?

Happy to go up to 75" and spend up to $1800. Just don't know about new TVs as the colours don't look as real/good as plasma, but maybe with new technology they do?

How are the LG LED smart TVs? Harvey Norman have them on Black Friday sale at $1828 : LG 75-inch QNED86 4K UHD LED Smart TV, or LG 65-inch UT8050 4K UHD LED Smart TV for $984

Samsung 75inch Q70D QLED 4K Smart TV for $1883

Is OLED or mini LED worth considering?

Any advice / suggestions appreciated

    If you like t\he picture quality of plasma, as do I, check out OLEDs.

    Not sure of the current price of a 75" OLED but your 55" Panasonic Viera was not cheap back in the day either.

    I went from Plasma > OLED.

      Thanks for the advice. Yeah, the 55 Viera wasn’t cheap and died only 2-3 years in, was really bummed considering it was made in Japan (not Thailand)

      I’m also considering a short throw projector as another option. At the cheaper end, like the Hisense PL1H Laser Cinema 4K Ultra Short Throw Smart Projector

        Unless you only watch at night or in a darken room, then forget about the projector. You’re better off buying the largest cheapest LED you can find at your budget.

        I also had a Panasonic Plasma die within 2-3 years, Panasonic gave a decent credit towards a new TV (as new TVs came down in price). Replacement Plasma is still working to this day.
