New TV help

[TheAngryDog]

Our 55" LG TV for damaged by our movers when we moved house last week.

I've been looking for a replacement but as someone who doesn't really understand the nuances of different TVs and their technologies, I don't know what I am looking for.

We have a budget of £600, which is know isn't much, but we don't need our TV to be all signing and dancing.

We are looking for a 65".

I've seen an LG from Richer that is £509 and a Panasonic from John Lewis that is £649 (I can get 10% off this).

LG - https://www.richersounds.com/lg-65nano81t6a/
Panasonic - https://www.johnlewis.com/panasonic-tv-65w80aey-20...

The LG is Nanocell and the Panasonic is QLED, at least that is what I believe, as everywhere other than John Lewis list it as QLED.

In terms of content that we watch, just normal HD / UHD TV, the odd Blu-ray, HD Netflix, UHD Prime and the odd bit of sport.

Are these decent TVs? Is one better than the other? Should I avoid either of them? If anyone has any alternative suggestions then I am all ears (eyes).

Thank you.

Up your budget and get an OLED panel. We have a 2024 Samsung Frame (QLED) and an older 2019 LG OLED. The older OLED TV deliveries a much better quality image than the 5 year newer QLED TV.

I don't want an oled, we don't have the budget for it.

Direct from LG with 5 year warranty not that far your budget at 55, 65 inch one is also priced pretty well. Compared to QLED the picture quality will be far better.

That’s a good call - I’m on the lookout for a new TV soon, and that’s a good one. The reviews are good too, but there are photos with some of the reviews, and I can’t believe anyone would mount a TV like this, right across the window, and it might as well be on the ceiling!

The Panasonic out of the 2 but if it was my £600, I'd spend it on a better 55" model.
