Hey all,

I posted this in another forum but only got one helpful reply so thought I would try closer to home.

I'm looking to upgrade my current LG OLED65C8PTA (2018) to a new 75" screen but I don't want to go backwards in quality. My current TV has noticeable OLED burn in now so I would like to get a new one.

Looking at about medium, medium upper range I think? though I want to retain at least the same picture quality, if that's possible.
Tempted to not go for OLED again? but purely because the TV's usage is going to be like 10hrs a day as its my stroke afflicted mothers primary source of entertainment, hence the heavy usage.
But I'm happy to hear of any solutions that would be recommended.

Budget would be around $4200 tops...

Cheers

FYI I ended up getting the LG 75" QNED86 Smart 4K TV.

Actually pretty happy with my purchase. I do notice a slight lack of definition when watching standard TV stuff from free to air over Satellite.
But otherwise yeah its a pretty good buy I think, its quite bloody bright compared to my OLED. Haven't gamed on it yet but will hook up the PC at some stage
and see what it's like.
Seems to upscale pretty well too, just checked out a 720p X-Files episode and was pretty impressed with the picture given its 75" size. Didn't seem at all blotchy like I thought it was going to be.
Got my Panasonic UB820 turning up tomorrow hopefully to replace my 20yo Samsung BR player, should be sorted for movie night.
