60"+ "frameless" tele

[David A]

Having see the samsung with the ultra thin bezel, I'm after a new tele however they only go up to 55" and I've got a 55" already. Figured a 60/65" screen with no frame/bezel will take up the same wallspace as the current one which has unused speakers on the side etc.

So, the question, does such a thing exist!?

I don't know, but I would really like to see it.

Samsung do a 60" in their 8000 series, it does have a very thin bezel.

Guess thats this one, but thats 60" not 60"+ I think it needs to be more than 60 to make the upgrade worth it!

See image, I think the panny still has a border albeit within the glass, whereas the Samsung I've seen does run right to the edge. Obviously need to check in person but I think I'm right.

Samsung seem to do a 65" version of the 8000 series as well.

If you look at the gallery for that one it doesn't have or list an ultra slim bezel

This one looks very slim

Any good?

I think 60" is the limit for the current Samsung 8000. It is also a lot more expensive.

Prices are high at the moment as the new range has recently come out, but in about September, I got last year's 55" for £1,500 (original price £2,500). The 60" was also available at £2,900 (original price £3,000)! The price step up must be so steep because of the low volumes produced.

I looked at the panni and the Samsung, it is chalk and cheese, the panni may have a bigger bezel but its a much better telly.

the samsung 8000 series will have a 65" set its just not out yet but should be about the 3500 mark

im picking up a sony kdl65hx923 tomorrow it was the onl 65 led that we could get at the moment no others are out yet.

its not that slim in the bezzle area though

The key bit about having a slim bezel is that we currently have a 55" plasma see with a big surround. The theory on a 65" is it will take up much the same wall space but have a bigger picture. IYKWIM

I take it that is some sort of man maths, its still diagonaly 10 inches bigger, which means the old telly would have to have a five inch bezel.

Not far off, look at the link, side is 6" top is ~3". Its got speakers that don't come off that add to it.

I can see on our system that a 65" is due out in July with an RRP of £3498 inc VAT.

Should be a beast - they are a lovely TV.

And that's the same as the 55" Samsung with the ultra slim bezel ? Any other details on spec?

[Guvernator]

When you are getting up to these sorts of sizes and budget, does it not make more sense to look at a decent HD projector and screen combo?

[David A]

Possibly but room shape/layout/cabling have an impact, and as the ceilings just been re-skimmed and walls repainted I aint putting a projector in!

It seems to be exactly the same (but bigger version) of the 55". Should be a beast!
