[HELP] Buying TV 55"

[kurko1992]

Hi guys.
I want to buy a 55" TV for the living room.

The problem is that the models that i found here in Israel, i can't find info in english.

The ones that i can pay are these:

https://www.payngo.co.il/catalog/pro...9/category/95/ 2095 NIS (New Israeli Shekel) = 582 USD

https://www.payngo.co.il/tv-and-ente...ns/257738.html 2290 NIS = 637 USD

https://www.payngo.co.il/256987.html 2290 NIS = 637 USD

https://www.payngo.co.il/tv-and-ente...ns/259850.html 2368 NIS = 657 USD

https://www.payngo.co.il/tv-and-ente...ns/259844.html 2690 NIS = 747 USD

https://www.payngo.co.il/tv-and-ente...ns/260210.html 2990 NIS = 830 USD

https://www.payngo.co.il/tv-and-ente...ns/257541.html 3325 NIS = 924 USD

https://www.payngo.co.il/258646.html 3390 NIS = 942 USD

https://www.payngo.co.il/tv-and-ente...ns/253209.html 3729 NIS = 1036 USD

https://www.payngo.co.il/tv-and-ente...ns/260194.html 3790 NIS = 1053 USD

https://www.payngo.co.il/tv-and-ente...ns/253968.html 3986 NIS = 1107 USD

I Want to spend the less as possible. The LG 3D 49" that i have, i have it for something like 7 year and just a few month ago i just change the LEDs strips and now is working like new. So, i want something like that :-)

Can you help me?



I wan to add, the TV is going to be use for watchin movies and TV shows and cable.
And i need to connect this:


Panasonic DP-UB450EB-K 4K (Multizone)
Laserdisc Elbit ELD-610
VCR JVC HR-J491MS
& my PC

To this:


ONKYO HT-S3800-B 5.1 with Receiver & Subwoofer

And from the Onkyo to the TV.

You can get more info on some of the models here:

Legacy analogue inputs are rare on new Samsung TVs, so that's something to keep in mind.

Thanks Like always dude.


I will check the website, but i this i need to decide between this to:
The LG 4K 55UN7340 (is the new model of the UN 43" 7340 that i have now) & the LG 4K 55NANO80.
The Nano cost 940$ and the UN cost 620$, it worth to pay 320 more just for the Nano?

[chip75]

The Nano is 120Hz which is preferable and has a couple of other features, it looks like the UN7340 is Direct Lit, but I don't think that's means FALD.

Neither TV has great HDR from what I can tell.

Ok, I will compare those two and decide.

First, the one that i want is the Nano 80, not 81.

But anyway, can i trust that reviews? Because says HDR Movies 5.9, nand 90% of the time is going to be used for movies and tv shows.


And i know also that in every website says that the "Black" on LG TVs is not "Black", but i can't see it :-(, for me looks good

They review TVs in Canada their 80 is called an 81.

I think due to the average peak brightness, contrast and black uniformity it has a so-so score. You need to get over 1,000 nits or have an OLED to have a great HDR experience.

Testing the black levels is simple enough, find test pattern that's all-black and look at it in a completely dark room, then turn the TV off, when the screen goes out that's what an OLED basically looks like.

We get used to the relatively poor performance of black levels because we don't compare them with another display side-by-side or eyes adjust somewhat.

Rtings are pretty reliable.
