First 4K TV on a Budget

[bobbyh64]

I’m looking to get my first 4K TV and I prefer it to be around the $500-600 range and 55 inches. I was thinking about the TCL 6 Series, but the “panel lottery” issue has me worried and also since the stand is at the extreme edges it won’t fit on my dresser. This is still a possible option but I’d need to get a separate stand that rests more towards the middle of the TV. Anyone have any recommendations for stands?

I was also thinking about getting the LG 55SM8600PUA Nano 8 Series. It has a stand in the middle of the TV but it’s a bit more expensive than the TCL at about $700 on Amazon.

I’d like to get some people’s opinions on these TVs and/or some suggestions of other TVs. Thanks!
