    Hi guys,

    Thinking about buying a new TV, budget up to around 800. 

    My current TV isn't bad at all. My big issue is that it only does HDR on 1 HDMI and think it's 8bit also. 


    It's a 55KU6670 - so again, not at all a bad TV. I'm happy entirely with the general picture quality. Sharp and pretty good blacks.

    Is is realistic to expect an upgrade on this for 800ish? Or do I need to go higher? 

    Use is equally movies/TV and Xbox One X/PS4 Pro.

    Many thanks.

    Hi Homelander.

    The UK6770 range where a decent television.

    However with a 800 Euro budget you could go for a QLED which would be several steps up.
    There is the Samsung 55Q60R priced at 799 Euro - 100Hz - 10Bit (8Bit +2FRC)

    Also around this budget is the LG 55SM8600 which is also a fantastic screen priced at 849 Euro - 100Hz - 10Bit (8Bit +2FRC)

    For a native 10Bit panel you would starting at the Sony 55XF9005 priced at 929 Euro - 100Hz - 10Bit.

    That's great, thanks so much. I think I would go for the xf9005 alright, for the sake of a 100 euro it would seem silly to get one of the others compared to my current TV.

    Quick question on delivery - can it be arranged for a specifc day or how does that normally work?

    Hey Homelander.

    I agree! The Sony is excellent and its reviews support that.

    For delivery you can request a certain day no problem (Excluding weekends).
    We are still a week away from our last shipping day before Christmas.
