Looking for a New TV

[Troch77]

You might want to check out the Vizio "P" series, it is a FALD display and does HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

Yes I keep leaning back towards Vizio.
I may up my price a little.
I saw a nice M series that is still only $550- $600.

The P is too expensive for the Bedroom.
Maybe when my 2015 Vizio 60 dies, I'll look into a P series for the Livingroom.

I'm leaning towards this one, Plus I can get 10% off and also no Intrest for 12 months.

I got my P-55 for $779 from Costco.

Still looking, Was going with the LG 6030, But I've see a few other reviews I'm not crazy about with the PQ.

Sony I was really considering, But I don't get why in 2017 and $100 more than every other brand does these TVs still only have 2 HDMI ports?
So thats out.

It looks like many reviews are liking the Sharp 7000 series.

DO NOT GET A SHARP, Trust me from experience!

I know that you stated that you had some problems with previous Samsungs but this set looks like a real bargain for $500. Plus, it has a tuner which the Vizio does not.

My 44in* vizio has a nice PQ, even in direct sunlight. Its a standard HDTV but still has a sharp PQ

Your probably right, but I retired a 6 yr. old 52" Sharp Aquos to my bedroom, it has a great PQ

One thing to be avoided, my opinion, is any tv with side lighting.

Yes, but this TV did get a pretty good review especially for this price point.

LED Edge Backlight – A Standout Feature

The light flow through created by the Samsung LED backlights has been a major positive for the last couple of years and continues with this UHD offering. It's one of the TVs best characteristics. Some complain that it can cause screen uniformity issues. To tone down the LED backlight from causing some uneven screen uniformity issues turn the backlight setting (found in the picture settings menu) down to a more reasonable level – around 80% is what we recommend. This will keep screen uniformity issues from arising and you still have plenty of brightness from this super bright LED TV. Having powerful LED backlighting in case you need it for super bright room conditions is a plus.
Value Rating 94/100
As the lowest price Samsung 4K TV this year, value is an important aspect of this TVs appeal. The only feature dropped from the KU6300 above it is the Smart remote control. With the 65KU6290 you save $150 for taking the standard remote, which is a great deal. Pricing is very appealing.

UN65KU6290 - $1249Drop the Smart remote for a standard remote with the KU6290 and you save $150. What a deal on a 65 inch TV.

UN55KU6290 – At $789Less of a discount to the KU6300 for taking the standard remote. A great deal though for a 55 inch TV with these features.

Different Sharp, back then.

Any easy way to determine which have such? Brands and models vary quickly at my local Costco.

Of course, when I buy, it probably won't be from Costco.

We had one for 2 -3 years and the Power Supply gave out, I did some digging and found that some have died after 6 months, I don't rember the model but it was an aquriose.

Yeah, seems to me 4 HDMI ports should be the minimum. They can't add much to the price, and having to use a switcher sucks.

 

[harshness]

It wasn't 4K PQ complaints.
And I'm not worried about 4K PQ at all.
The LG uses RGBW which is less accurate.
Thats my concern.

I caution that you not let theory and numbers get in the way of personal perception. Whether or not you can actually see the "limitations" is a very important consideration.

And a 55 inch at 6 feet, is probably big enough for 4K

I'm not sure 55" is in your price range if your going to be uppity about having full-blown HDR and WCG performance.

I would like a Tuner, thats another reason if I go Vizio I may fall back to an E series.

Pretty much any full-featured TV under $800 is going to be edge lit. FALD is still pretty much rarified air.

I had a Samsung 55 inch 1080p 3D LED last only 3 years 2012-2015. Dead pixels.

And 2014-2017 on my 40 inch 1080p LED same thing dead pixels.

So yes I'm a little sceptical.

Not true, Vizios are Full Array.
Even the D series.

 

[Troch77]

I appreciate everyones input.

It looks like Vizio ,LG, and even Possibly I may Give Samsung another Go.

But I have a Feeling I'll end up with Vizio E series maybe the M series, or a Samsung.

My wife would kill me if I put my Current 60 inch Vizio in my bedroom, and get a New 60+ inch 4k tv.

 

[navychop]

If she does, can we have the TV?

Yes Lol.
