Looking for a TV, 55", price 12k - 16k.
I have looked at some LGs, Samsung, Hisense.
Hisense 55U8QF, 55U7QF
LG Nanocell NANO86 55"

Really not sure. I have a nVidia Shield 2019 device and Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 sound system, so would prefer Dolby Vision and Atmos support.
FALD - is it good / worth it?
Cheaper or more expensive products can also be mentioned, although I doubt I will go over 16k. Your input would be highly appreciated.

I'm disappointed with Samsung, but if you have a shield that should sort out the unintelligent Tizen system at least. I imagine they should have android in that price range.

Above budget but you'll probably find it ticks all the spec's box's your looking for.
I went looking for Samsung replacement & ended up with that LG Oled.
I don't buy a new tv very often & felt the newer model other ones don't really offer anything too much better than what i already had. That Takealot price is R1000 below what i found it for around black friday area

Very nice TV indeed, but yes it is quite expensive.

Do you have one ? It looks pretty nice on paper, would like to hear some real world feedback.

Yep, I have one. bought it for the PS as it has HDMI 2.1 and 120Hz ... only one if I remember correctly at a decent price.

Images are super clear, and the PS looks amazing ... 4K streaming is vivid and colours I've never experienced before (main tv is a LG 49" that is 8 years old) ... so yeah, a whole new world for me.

ONLY downside is that is uses WebOS and not Android TV like the Sonys, BUT I have been able to do everything with the apps available, so also not really a major issue

Another vote for the NANO86 55", screen quality is great and nothing comes close to the magic remote.
