Looking for a decent 85" TV

[TStringList]

My space needs a bigger TV and I'm looking for some advice and how to choose an 85" or similar size model. I'm currently using a Samsung 43" RU7100 and honestly it's been great so thinking of staying with the Samsung LED's but not sure how they fare at the larger screen sizes.

OLED is out of my price range and I'm not sure if QLED would be worth the extra bucks. There's a CU7000 and DU8000 going for around 20k which looks decent so if anyone has those in 85", would appreciate your opinion.

Your budget only allows for entry level Tvs and I wouldnt describe them a ''decent''.

Max out the credit card and rather get the 77'' LG OLED.

Don't cheap out too much.

You will be happy with this and it's only slightly more expensive than those other sets while being significantly better: https://www.takealot.com/hisense-85...-pro-uled-smart-tv-with-quantum-/PLID95882491

For my above recommendation:

Just go up 14k more and get

Toshiba 100-inch 4K QLED TV-100Z670NN

Resolution : 3840 x 2160 HDMI x 3 USB x 2 Dolby Vision and Atmos Quantum Dot Technology AI 4K Upscaling Game Mode 144Hz 3 Year Warranty

Okay seems I need to up the budget a bit. Those options are mouth watering.

I know LG is solid but how is Hisense and Toshiba? I've only bought Samsung before.

The bigger the TV the less DPI the screen is, just be mindful of that.

They'll be better than the entry level Samsungs

You'll be sitting further away hopefully

How many blowjobs did you give to afford a 77" LG OLED? Be honest

DPI means nothing, it's all about the NITS, just ask @epah

Sounds dangerous. Will probably stick with Samsung.

You get used to it after giving the 10th one I was told

The Samsung Q series looks like a good mid ranger so might save up for one of those instead.

Something like this

Samsung 85" Q60D 4K QLED Smart TV with 4K Upscaling

Upscaling is polishing a turd, be careful

Rather get a native 4k panel

I thought this is a 4k TV and that upscaling is for making lower resolution content look better on the TV.

That's just a much worse TV than the similarly priced Hisense I recommended: https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/com...5n-vs-samsung-q60d-q60-q60dd-qled/50405/56341
