I'm also looking for a TV, or should I say large monitor. I was thinking of getting something like the Philips 438P1/75 for $800 from PB Tech (My old 40" Philips Monitor has had a backlight fail causing daek shadow on the top 25% of the screen).
However, I am considering spending a chunk more and I'm weighing up the option to go for a TV instead. Contenders are the LG 48C1 (But NL have sold out of the $2299 bargains), Then there is the Oled LG 48 A1 at just under $1800, The Samsung 50" QN90. I notice the Panasonic JZ1000 also maybe worth considering.
About my use:
During the day it's hooked up to my work laptop running multiple Office365 apps, salesforce, etc split across a few windows.
Main reason for upgrade is to support my hobbies:
In the evening I'll use is it for Photoshop & Lightroom. Some video editing with Power Director.
I also use it for FL Studio DAW for a home studio.
The LG A1 seems well priced, but the screen burn worries me a little - Do I need the features of the c1 for the extra $500 (assuming they put one on back order). I also love the LG interface and they provide heaps of updates.
The Samsung QN90 appears to have great reviews and safer with no screen burn-in.
Panasonic, I worry a little... I have the 58EX780 in my lounge and it has barely had any updates (Finally got Disney+ a few weeks back), but then as it will rarely be used as TV, perhaps not so important.
I may game on it occasionally, but lets say less than 5% use.
Thanks for any advice :)
