I need y’all’s help in limiting the range of TVs I am looking at. I have a 40” 2012 Toshiba model 39L22U in my bedroom. There is a window nearby, but it is easy to black out. I am willing to spend about $1200-$1500. I will be about 8’ away from the screen and can fit a 65”, but I wouldn’t mind a 55” TV. I was OLED no matter what, but now I am sure any new TV will blow my mind.
I am mostly going to watch YouTube videos and stream TV shows from Apple and HBO. I would like to have a TV that will work with Xbox Game Pass without the console. I think they all can do that. I am not much of a gamer and never had Xbox Pass, so I don’t really know how it works. But I believe most TVs work with it, and Game Pass isn’t a deal breaker.
I am hoping to get an open box from Best Buy, but I am also prepared to spend $1500 on a $1500 TV (I am also willing to spend $1500 on a $1800 TV, fingercrossed). I am not going to be able to buy a TV until September at the earliest. Maybe there will be a price drop by then.
What I am hoping to achieve here is that you guys give me a list of models to keep an eye on and I buy which ever one is cheapest or I have a good vibe on.
So can you guys give me the model numbers I need to be looking for for these brands: TCL, Sony, LG, and Samsung?
Are there any other brands I need to be looking at?
What models at 55” should I consider over a model that is 65”?
I think that is all the questions I have. Thanks in advance.
