What TV to buy for the living room, 55 or 65 inches? - the TV was knocked over b

Question

Good morning, we have moved into a new apartment and we are looking for a TV. I was practically determined on the QE65Q77T, but I thought about the local blanking and put on the QE65Q80T. Yesterday, to illustrate the location of the TV on the wall, I drew its outline on the wall (photo below) -...

After buying it, whether it's 55 or 65', one of you after a few days will say basically, it's not that big at all. Buy as big as you can afford.

Get 65 without hesitation! I have 65 in the bedroom above the bed - literally 10 cm beyond the end of the bed and it doesn't seem too big to me. At first when it was changed for 42 it was wow... Isn't it too big but no, and the distance is shorter than yours. There are no too big TV sets, or the signals are too weak, so the picture is bad from 'close'

And what are you afraid of in oleds, they don't bite . The budget clearly points to the already established Oled technology. Going back to the past, the same fears were at the time of Plasma's appearance, everyone was afraid that each of them would burn out and they still work for those who bought them.

Exactly. Go ahead and take oled. This tv in the photo is a Panasonic plasma from 2014, as you can see, it works. Downstairs I have oled Sony and the kid plays 2 times a day for 1 hour on Nintendo (because of this lockdown and closed schools) and nothing happens Unless someone watches the news all day, the strip will stay. If you watch a varied picture, no worries. Besides, who today keeps the TV for 15 years as in the past. oled no worries - different league.

If you have space on the wall (and you do), it's bigger. I have a 50 and watch from a distance of max 1.75 and it's not too big at all.

Have you considered moving the sofa to the table and the TV to the wall in front of you. There will be a much greater distance and when you sit on the sofa, you will have a sense of more space. it is often on the floor between the sofa and the tv, so it will be further away from the tv. Oled thanks to grandma we can plot ... well, it happens.

It will be worse than the old one, but as you will see after installing the tv. I wouldn't want to watch it like that, but people do, my subjective opinion.

I watched many tests and these afterimages are but after several hundred hours of playing exactly the same image. In normal use, it is practically impossible, especially since the matrix refreshes automatically and you also have a manual refresh function. You are not convinced to oled rather by these myths. My cousin has had it for about 3 years now, he often watches matches and has no afterimages. And the quality... I already have three months of OLED and still, when I see this image, I am delighted with it. The disadvantage is that when a movie or a program ends, you think that the TV has turned off, because the black picture is no different from the turned off TV.. DAMN I was supposed to change 55 inches to 65 before, but I stayed with 55 but in OLED I come to the conclusion that in my case 65 inches would be a bit too big. I watch from 2.5-3m. By the way, afterimages can be seen on a plowed TV and in many cases on the test image, because in a normal image you will not notice it.

At this distance, you can't see the details of a 4K image anyway, unless you have super eagle eyes.

gadek80 · Accepted Answer

It's not about seeing the details, it's about the size of the TV. I used to say that there is no such thing as too big a TV, but at a distance of 2.5 meters at 65 inches, the eyes can already be slightly scattered around the whole picture. When it comes to matrices, IPS definitely falls out in the evenings, because you will be disappointed with black, VA is definitely a better choice, but it also comes at the expense of colors, they are just so normal. Unfortunately, when it comes to Samsung's Smart Remote, it sucks, here LG always wins, you only have the choice of either OLED or Nanocell with IPS. If you manage to combine the money for OLED, you have nothing to be afraid of, as I wrote earlier, my cousin has it for over three years and revels without any complaints. Anyone who already has an OLED will tell you that the only right choice is OLED, and you don't buy a TV every year or two, and you spend a lot of time in front of it. I mainly watch Cyfrowy Polsat and Netflix, and Magic from LG is the king, because I now operate everything with one remote control, set-top box, TV and Netflix. In addition, you can easily and conveniently share photos and videos from your phone. Below is a short video of how the magic remote works. He will always have a dilemma even after the purchase, whether it was good, whether beautiful colors on IPS or cool but not beautiful black on VA. OLED has beautiful colors, beautiful blacks, so I withdrew from 65 inches when replacing and chose 55 in OLED, staying with the size was also a good choice. One disadvantage of OLED compared to the previous Panasonic is that the matrix is shiny and reflects the window in the TV.

If only for viewing then 65 If it's also going to be used for gaming, then 55

Ludwik XVI · Accepted Answer

For movies/series, 65 inches will give a better effect. I'm a little over 3m currently and 55 inches is not enough. I will be switching to 65 inches by the end of the year.

That's what it's all about, in the previous TVN24 TV it flew half a day and here, after installing the cable, I assume it will be similar. The fact that I gave the wrong viewing time in the survey, because I gave the time about me Meanwhile, when mom comes to take care of the child, breakfasts will fly until noon. I will watch netflix, youtube in the evenings and I will see their strips, thank you, but OLED is out :D For now, there will only be terrestrial TV, won't SD channels be pixelated here? I mean, after buying a TV, should I go straight to buy cable, because I can't stand terrestrial? At the moment, cable TV is not a must have for me, because I care more about content from the Internet, but it is known that TV will also be watched - for example, TVN breakfast in the morning in SD by my mother. There is light soap on the UE40ES6100, so I hesitate if there will be a massacre at 65

Undisclosed92 · Answer

Yes, at first we assumed that this is what we would do, but then the problem is the future table. It would have to stand here where the sofa is now or by the wall that is prepared by the previous owners for the TV. First of all, this part of the room is still in shadow, I would prefer the table to be closer to the window, and in addition, sitting at the table we would be sitting on the TV itself, so at least after the upcoming renovation, the layout remains unchanged. Maybe we'll change something in the future

Anonymous · Answer

If you don't even have cable, you probably download movies, so these will be at least full hd. There are a lot of things to watch in full hd on youtube, and I'm not talking about drivers in Russia, etc. epilepsy, and more and more are and will be in 4k. news or crap like nonsense series 'Note' or 'Talks in progress' you don't need image quality.

The purchase has been made I was set on the QE65Q80T, waited for a drop in prices before the Q80A came out, but the TV just started disappearing from the market. It was no longer available for sale online, I went to the euro so where was it still on the store. Unfortunately, there was only one copy from the exhibition, they were able to sell it to me for PLN 4650. I even messed around, I was offered a new Sony 65XH9505 at a price below PLN 5,000 if I take it in installments - the first 2 installments pay euros, with the third I pay the whole amount. A battle with my mind, a cold calculation not to be fooled by the salesmen, and I bought it Delivery on Tuesday, so I won't rate it for now Thank you all for your comments

// change of topic name - tv knocked over by courier.

The TV arrived and immediately goes to the complaint

I bought a contribution because I thought my wife would be home alone. The courier drove up to the cage, and the wife watched him through the window. He took the TV out of the box, propped a cardboard box in front of the cage, and went to lock the car. Meanwhile, the wind knocked the box with the TV flat. I don't even turn on the TV, I won't let them pass

For immediate return

Hermanowy · Answer

Great offer for this model. This is one of the few LCDs that somehow aspires to OLEDs with an image and has a reasonable price. The downsides are the high refresh rate, so there are better models to play some FPPs, and there are cases that the soft goes crazy (automatic resets and crashes).

gadek80 · Answer

I would argue here, because the aspiration to OLED is far away, more in normal use I would say so and Nanocell, which has definitely better and more vivid colors. I had the opportunity to look at all the TVs and evaluate them reasonably. QLED is very OK in the evenings, but when it comes to colors here, Nanocell is closer to OLED.

Hermanowy · Answer

But I wrote about XH9505, and not to be confused absolutely with XH9005, and absolutely with QLED, or Nanocell from LG on the carcass in the form of IPS? How can IPS compare to OLED!!!! You probably only compared them in a store with a gigantic amount of light - in such conditions nothing sensible can be deduced by eye.

gadek80 · Answer

I would also say how you can compare VA to OLED. For me, VA and QLED is closer to OLED in black, but that's it, colors, lime refreshment, again IPS in Nanocell, however, has much better and more vivid colors, but it lies with black.

Hermanowy · Answer

Contrast and black are for me the basis for home use, colors can always be more or less pulled up with settings and calibration.
After many months of searching for a TV, for me the only LCD that in any way referred to OLEDs was the Sony XH9505, but when I decided to buy it, its price was comparable to the LG CX, so the choice was obvious.

gadek80 · Answer

Sony has always been a leader in color quality and I haven't really seen how it actually works, but even the Sony OLEDs are better than LG, even though the matrix is the same. I currently have the cheapest OLED 55 inch. I was supposed to buy 65-inch Nanocell earlier, but on the occasion of the price, I stayed with 55-inch but a better picture. In retrospect, I find that if someone uses the TV a lot and pays attention to the image quality, you even have to exceed your budget but buy an OLED. This is a very big difference.
