Anyone here know a bit about the new tv's on the market?

Im looking at getting a 60 or 65 inch smart tv. theres lots of options out there.

budget is around $1300-$1800 and i dont know much about the different technologies between brands.

also, any brands i should avoid?

Ive been looking at some sony's, LG and samsung.

Stay away from the cutting-edge/first-generation/newest technology of the day. Let someone else get burdened with all the inherent bugs, and the ridiculous high prices!

I don't watch a lotta tv because the commercials are getting sicker and more frequent every year.

I watch hockey, Forensic Files, and Mayday and that's about it.
Oh yeah, and Ancient Aliens and ghost shows are always good for a giggle when there's nothing else to do.
All that means is my old tube-type Phillips Maganavox is good enough even if it ain't HD and doesn't show the whole picture.

I save a lotta money on tvs. Will you.....?

And I LOVE YouTube!

I mostly just watch YouTube and Netflix. Might turn the occasional hockey game on.

I would say up the budget a bit and go with a LG OLED. No burn in, no burnt pixels or bad LED backlighting, by far the best TV I have ever bought. I have been holding out replacing the living room tv, it is a Sharp Aquos 65" that is 8 years old and it died last week. If the new T-con board I ordered does not fix it up again I will have an OLED in the living room too.
Don't confuse this with the new QLED model, it is just a marketing scheme.
The new tv's are come with a formula;

GOOD
BIG
EXPENSIVE

I have researched TV's for years, buddy is the Manager of the big store here. He tells me what to look for and look out for, has no led me wrong yet.

I have an extra 2016 4k UHD Samsung 55" that I am going to be selling soon as I either buy a new OLED or fix my Aquos, if you don't find something you like.

I was going to wait to buy an OLED once they become more mainstrem. They are a bit pricey for me right now. I need to buy a scope soon too. Lol

I purchased a 65" LG OLED last year on Black Friday for about $2000 off of the regular price, and the picture may be just slightly better than my 65" Panasonic AX900 which I have had for a few years. Both have excellent pictures, and I use a Bose sound system instead of the television speakers. I have no idea which televisions are best in the $1300 to $1800 range.

Still going with my first Samsung. Going on 9 years old still going strong.

Had good luck with the two HiSense that I have bought. First one is almost 4 years old and going strong. Not well know in North America but BIG sales numbers globally.
