Tax refunds are coming in, so that will help. We're looking to get a 65" 4K TV. I'm open to suggestions on that.

What's your budget? For a mid-tier TV I'd say the Sony X90J or TCL 6-series are good choices.

I agree, it's essential to know what your budget is, Zillamon. And in case a mid-range set is what you're aiming at, I second unberechenbar's recommendation for the X90J.

My folks are rocking a 2007 Sony 1080p LCD everyday since 2007.

0 issue. I check on it from time to time when I visit. Picture Quality is the same today as it was back in 07.

Heck their 2007 TV will probably outlast my 2021 OLED.

We have $1,000 for a TV. (We also need a wall mount, soundbar, UHD disc player, and 4K streaming device.) We watch a LOT of movies. Some TV (mostly streaming shows). We're not gamers, and we don't watch sports. We're considering a 55" - 65" Hisense UG6 / 7 / 8. Good features for the price. Reviews are solid. How's the overall quality / lifespan?

For a 65" TV around $1,000, the Hisense U8G, Sony X90J and TCL 6 Series/R646 are your three best options.

As far as durability and reliability, Sony rank the highest in that department, but you can get lucky or unlucky with any brand.

I got a 55" Hisense U8G last December, after doing research, and I'm in love with it. At almost $800, it wasn't exactly cheap, but it's loaded with features of pricier sets. There's probably a newer model out by now, but if not, I recommend the U8G.
