Hello everyone,
Though I had posted a different thread on requesting help in choosing a 55 - 58 inch LED tv and received some great help there, but this thread is more dedicated to further advise in choosing between these shortlisted models - Sony 55X8500D vs Samsung 55KU6470 vs LG UH85 (55).
The LED is requirement is for my bedroom with a viewing distance of approx 16 - 17 feet. I would like to keep the selection criterion simple here - picture quality in simplistic terms and smart functionality. When compared side by side at Croma - I felt that the PQ of Samsung was best (natural colours that can be viewed for long); Sony followed (though a little too bright colours) and then LG (dull colours). When I had first started my research on these LEDs Samsung was at the bottom of my list (I did not even bother to look at them at the stores) as I have not had the best experience with Samsung products in the past. But a few friends swore by Samsung LEDs and on checking them out I am surprisingly pleased.
Sony always stands out as a brand and appeals the most at first go. But somehow I felt that its colours are too bright and unreal and will not be that comfortable in the long term. I understand that this model has an IPS display (borrowed from LG as the Sales guy mentioned !) which is supposed to be an advantage over Samsung.
Though I currently have a 5 year old LG 47" 3D LED, but the UH85 somehow disappointed me. The sales person swore that the LG is the best performing of the lot, but I felt the colours to be too dull (boarder line whitish). Though out of experience I think that the 3D viewing of the LG is the best (the active 3D of Samsung/Sony is bad), but the colours when compared to the Samsung and Sony were a let down.
From a picture up-scaling functionality (SD to higher quality) I undersatnd that Sony may be the best ?
As a smart tv functionality I think Sony may be best as it is on an Android platform and may have better long terms updates. I am not sure about the platforms of Samsung and LG ?
The price points of all 3 TVs are around the same benchmark though with Samsung and LG I am being offered a free sound bar as well.
Besides the above 3 models I was very keen on the Panasonic CX/DX 4K series but the PQ of the Panasonic in front of the Samsung, Sony and even LG was unimpressive to say the least. Also the after sales stories of the Panasonic are not very comforting. I was also getting an extremely sweet corp deal on the Sony KDL 50W950D (Triluminous) but I think 50 inch will not do justice to the viewing distance ?
Looking forward to all the advise here. :signthankspin:
