Hi folks,
Long time lurker here but this is my first post!
I am currently in the market for a 65 inch TV for my renovated living room (still a work in progress). I currently have an archaic 47 inch LG 47LD460 LCD TV which is not wall mounted (10+ years and still going strong). However, I am in the market for a wall mounted unit that will look well with the overall decor of my room. I have attached a dummy room plan that I made using a software online for a rough idea about the lighting condition and the space that we have to play with.
My typical viewing mix and typical viewing usage:
Daily around 4 hrs SD Local News Channels (Via Jio TV/Jio Fiber), 1.5 hrs OTT (HD/FullHD/4k) wherever applicable via both onboard OTT of TV/pen drives, 30 mins casting/laptop usage/gaming (but this 30 mins can be ignored for now and gaming is not a priority at all)
My requirements:
1. I would prefer a QLED panel without any reflections (or with as less reflections as possible). Picture Quality >>> Sound Quality for me as I might invest in a sound bar later on. For my audiophile needs, I already have a HT in a different room, so sound quality is not a primary concern here.
2. My budget is around 1.2-1.3 Lakhs. I would prefer among the top 3 brands but am open to the other players in the market as well.
3. Not a fan of OLED screens particularly because of the reflections. Room will not be dimly lit in any circumstances. I have 2 OLED laptops at home and the reflective screens make them very unpleasant in any sort of sane lighting conditions. Also, with my typical usage scenario, burn in is a serious concern as well.
4. Viewing distance will be around 9 feet to 12 feet.
Due to my schedule and my location, it will be very difficult for me to go to the showrooms to see the TVs in the flesh. Doing some basic research online, I had shortlisted the following two models:
1. Samsung Frame 65 inch 2022 Model (https://www.amazon.in/Samsung-inche...09Y64NM41/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8)
Apparently, this has a VA panel while the previous models had an IPS screen and the brightness is not up to par but I really like the looks of this TV + premium brand which would mean a better ASS
2. Hisense U6G 65 inch (https://www.flipkart.com/hisense-u6...v-full-array-local-dimming/p/itme1eeb2f2e113c)
Costs almost half of the Samsung model + apparently is very good. However, less brand recall + ASS is a concern
My dilemma:
1. Not very adept about the technicalities but is Full Array dimming reqd for my use case? Will it be a deal breaker?
2. Can I cut my losses going for the Hisense model or the newer one U7H?
3. Any other models that I should be looking at?
