Just a 'quicky' on TV's.

[Will B Good]

Looking to buy a 'big' TV (with bluetooth and Apple 2 (is it called?))......but, being a cheap Charlie, not looking to pay a fortune.

 

Glancing at 80"+ UHD TV's the pictures looks amazing, but then everyone raves about the pricier OLED's.

 

I guess in terms of my pocket, it comes down to a very big UHD versus a not so big OLED.

 

I would be interested to hear any suggestions as to which way you would go.

You are comparing cabbages with oranges. UHD refers to screen resolution, whilst OLED refers to the method of lighting(or not) of the screen.

 

If you meant ULED, that is a description utilised by HiSense only.

 

For an 80" screen, you would expect a UHD screen at a minimum. OLED is obviously going to be above your budget at that size. if you cannot afford it, then look at Full Array Local Dimming and Mini LED TV as an alternative.

I'd buy the LG 82" for 47kbht.

Samsung 75" is cheap as chips at 25kbht, but I don't trust Samsung products.

The LG UP8000 is an entry-level budget 4k TV. It replaces 2020's LG UN7300 and UN8500, and like its predecessors, it also uses an ADS panel, which performs much like an IPS panel. This type of panel has wide viewing angles, making it a great choice for a wide seating arrangement, but it's not a good choice for a dark room, as it has low contrast and no local dimming feature to improve dark room performance. Unfortunately, it doesn't get very bright, so it struggles to combat intense glare, and it's certainly not bright enough to deliver a satisfying HDR experience. It can't display a wide color gamut, either, so vivid colors appear dull and muted in some HDR content. It has a good response time, so motion in sports or games looks clear; however, its 120Hz backlight flicker causes some image duplication. Lastly, while it has incredibly low input lag, its refresh rate is limited to 60Hz, and it doesn't support any advanced gaming features, like variable refresh rates or HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.

These kind of TVs talk about everything, but the quality of the screen...

 

Function such as HDR need something like a 700-nit screen to be effective. The LG is probably under 350. But perhaps that's okay for the OP. Depends on whether he is the type to want to get the best out of the TV.

Depends on your expectations; now and in the future. Also the size and conditions of the viewing room together with the sources of media you will utilise.

Easy to understand

The cheaper TVs skimp on the screen, but cover that with a lot of bells and whistles to make the TV look more attractive to the layman.

But saying that, you might be fine with a bulk standard screen.
